What is the force that slows down airplanes?
Air friction, which is measured as drag.
How do you reduce drag?
By streamlining the aircraft.
Do airplanes have any friction?
Yes. Airplanes experience drag from the air when in flight and friction from the ground when they are taxiing. There is also friction between parts in the plane.
How do you reduce drag on a rocket?
By making it more streamlined and aerodynamic
What is making an object a special shape to reduce drag called?
aerodynamic.
Are airplanes designed to reduce or increase drag?
Airplanes try to reduce drag so they can cut back on fuel costs, and shave time off their route.
Why are airplanes made in a streamlined shape?
To reduce drag and therefore improve performance and efficiency.
How does drag affect a paper airplane?
Drag effects paper airplane just as it affects anything else that moves. It is either parasitic or induced on paper airplanes. Drag may reduce a paper airplanes speed and/or range.
Why do airplanes need to be streamlined?
Airplanes are streamlined in order to reduce drag (coefficient of friction). This allows for less resistance, less fuel consumption, and greater speed.
How is aerodynamics used in airplanes?
Everything on the outside of an aircraft is designed to be low drag and strong enough to cope with flight..
What is a boattail?
A boattail is the progressively narrowing rear end of a bullet or ballistic missile which is designed to reduce drag.
What does drag affect paper airplanes'?
Drag affects everything that flies.
Olympic runners wear spandex clothing to counteract the same force that also affects airplanes in flight. what force is it?
Drag- APEX :)
Why do they close airplanes gear when it takeover?
the gear creates a lot of drag so raising it reduces that drag
What force must airplanes overcome to take-off?
Weight and Drag
What is the force that slows down airplanes?
Air friction, which is measured as drag.
How do you reduce drag on a f1 car?
don't drag it copy and paste it
