What are the slats on an airplane wing?
to slow it down quicker
Why don't tires on an airplane blow out when the airplane lands?
This is because when the plane comes down, it's gentle and slow. Think of a toy airplane. If it has wheels and slowly comes down, it won't bust if it doesn't go roughly, right (I hope)?
What advantage do flaps and stats give an airplane?
Flaps and stats increase lift for takeoff and slow you down, for landing.
What is main purpose of having flaps?
The main purpose of having flaps is to slow down the airplane without increasing pitch.
Why does drag slow down a moving airplane?
Drag if friend and foe of aircraft. it is created by wing flaps or feathering of propeller blades.
What are the flaps on an airplane used for?
The flaps on an airplane are there for two reasons: Drag and lift. As an airplane lines up with the runway and descends, it must slow down. Several things are done to slow down, such as throttle the engines down and lower the gear. However is some airplanes, to slow down and remain slow they must extend the flaps. These cause extra drag, which slows the airplane down. They are usually extended in increments while on approach. The second reason is for lift. As an airplane get slower, the wings get less and less effective, and once it gets slow enough, it may stall. To prevent a stall, airplanes lower flaps. These redirect air downward, pushing the airplane up. This allows it to fly slower, past its "clean" stall speed. (Clean stall speed refers to an airplane's stall speed with no flaps or landing gear extended) Some airplanes can fly nearly 100 knots slower with full flaps. The stall speed with full flaps and landing gear extended is known as "dirty" or "landing configuration" stall speed. This is much slower than "clean" stall speed.
What are facts about the early years of the airplane?
they were slow not as fast as todayswell they were slow airplanes
Is the airplane go slow can it take off?
no it cannot take off if it is going slow
What is slow down?
its when something is slowing down
How can you calculate the acceleration of a commercial airplane?
you can caculate the acceleration of a commercial airplane when the airplane slows down
Why do Slow down and slow up mean the same?
I think you mean slow down and speed up. slow down =slow, speed up=fast
Movable sections on the wings which slow down the airplane?
Their are two items on a airplanes wing that can slow down the aircraft. One is that flaps located on the back of the wing changing the shape of the wing creating more air pressure on the bottom of the wing creating lift. Second their is spoilers or airbrakes on the top of the wing that decrease lift and increase drag causing the plane to slow.
