How does the Coanda effect influence the design and performance of aircraft?
The Coanda effect influences aircraft design and performance by allowing for better control and stability. This effect occurs when air flow sticks to a curved surface, which can be used to improve lift and maneuverability in aircraft. By utilizing the Coanda effect, engineers can design wings and other aerodynamic surfaces that enhance the overall performance of the aircraft.

Why are Vortex Generators fitted on Tornado Aircraft?
Vortex Generators are fitted on both sides of the base of the Fin, on Tornado Aircraft, to generate a turbulence, so that the Rudder has an effect at altitude, otherwise the Rudder is flying in a vacuum, and has no effect on the stability of the aircraft, causing judder, with possible buckling of the spine to occur.
Why are tires of an aircraft made slightly conducting?
This is to disperse static electricity ween the aircraft lands. Many aircraft also have 'static wicks' which are bits of wire fitted to the trailing edge of wings.
What will happen to the aircraft indicating instruments if the aircraft static port is blocked?
On most (all) modern aircraft there is more than 1 static port. In case the static ports are blocked, most pitot probes also have a static pressure sensor that will sense the pressure. (Tiny hole on the top or bottom of the probe) Static ports are one of the most important parts on an aircraft which is why you will always find an auxillary port for both pilots.
Where are static and total pressure ports on an aircraft?
Total pressure of an aircraft is the pressure being meausred at the pitot tube opening. And the static ports are normally located alongside the body of the aircraft to measure the dynamic pressure. Type "static ports 777" in google images and you will know where they are!
What is the difference between free fall and static line parachute jumps?
In free fall parachuting, the jumper exits the aircraft on their own and experiences a period of free fall before deploying the parachute. In static line parachuting, the parachute is deployed automatically upon exiting the aircraft due to a cord (static line) connected to the aircraft.
What is the purpose of dorsal fin in aircraft?
To provide stability of the aircraft during flight!
What is inherent stability of a airplane?
Inherent stability is the quality of an aircraft that relates to its tendencies when the pilot releases the controls. Most aircraft are designed such that, if you release the controls the aircraft will naturally tend to level out and fly straight and level. These aircraft are said to be "inherently stable." High-performance aircraft such as fighter planes and aerobatic aircraft often have little or no inherent stability and when the pilot releases the controls the aircraft may bank or pitch in one direction or another. These aircraft take much more skill and concentration to fly safely, so most civilian aircraft are designed to provide a high amount of inherent stability.
What is the working principle of a pitot static system in an aircraft?
On such a system, you get to have 2 sets of "holes". One on the side of the aircraft, independent of the air flow, that measures the present atmospheric pressure. Comparing this pressure (static) with the ground one (given by the Airport Tower for a given area), gives you your altitude. The second "hole" (or set of holes) is in the front of the aircraft (usually the nose or close to the cockpit) and it has a membrane inside a tube that is pressed by the increased airflow created by the aircraft's speed. Comparing this pressure (pitot-tube pressure), with the fore-mentioned static one, gives you the aircraft's speed.
What causes an aircraft to build up a static electrical charge?
As the aircraft travels at high speeds through the air, friction between the air and the body of the aircraft create charge. This is why aircraft's have special rubber wheels which contain a conducting material, to release the charge into the ground when they land.
