What else can I help you with?
Why jet engines are used at high altitudes?
For thrust. Engines are used to overcome the drag of the airplane.
Why are airplane flaps not used at cruising speeds?
Airplane flaps are used during takeoff and landing to increase lift and drag, which helps the plane to reduce speed for landing and take off. At cruising speeds, the airplane is already flying efficiently and has no need for the extra lift and drag provided by the flaps.
Induced drag in airplane is reduced by?
winglet
What is drag for an airplane?
Drag is a force that acts opposite to the direction of movement of an airplane. Drag is mainly caused by air. The other forces that act on the plane while moving in the air are thrust, lift etc..
What is the drag of an airplane?
The drag of an airplane is the air resistance caused by the plane flying through air. Similar to when you pull your hand through water and feel resistance.
What are two different ways to change drag on an airplane and how would the airplane respond to that?
Flaps would increase drag increasing your speed will increase it even more
The resisting force exerted on an airplane is called?
drag
What Is Drag On An Airplane?
the force created by air resistance
What is drag on an airplane and how is it used to fly faster or slower?
have you ever seen birds fly in a v? the drag from the leader pushes the other birds faster. so it kinda swirls
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.
The Force of an airplane that opposes thrust is called?
The force of an airplane that opposes thrust is called drag. Drag is the resistance force that acts opposite to the direction of motion of the aircraft and is caused by the interaction of the aircraft with the surrounding air.
What are the 4 forces on an airplane?
Lift, Gravity, thrust and drag
