How many wings does a Sopwith Camel have?
The Camel is a bi-plane; 2 wings. Only the upper wing had control surfaces.
How have fighter planes changed since World War 1?
Plenty of things changed about fighter planes between WW1 and WW2 : - metal became more and more used instead of wood and cloth for the fuselage and the wings - fighters got retractable landing gears under the wings - they got a closed canopy - machineguns now incorporated in the wings - basic aiming systems then after WW2 came the era of the fighter jet with V wings and a jet engine incorporated in the fuselage. IR and EM missiles have also revolutionized the air to air combat. Nowadays Fighter jets are multi-roles and can also handle ground attack duties.
What was the plane the red baron piloted?
The Red Baron flew several different aircraft during his military career. He started off flying a 2-seater. The aircraft he scored most of his victories was the Albatros D-III and he flew several of these. One of them was the first aircraft he painted all red.Later he received one of the first Fokker Dr.1 Triplanes(3 wings). He flew 4 or 5 of these. One was painted with Red nose and tail on a green plane. His latest one was painted all red.
What did the planes in World War 1 look like?
Planes form WWI were made mostly of wood and fabric airfoils and fuselages. However the Germans did use steel tubing for fuselages and wood for the airfoils (wings). The Germans did make an all metal monoplane (single wing) the Junkers DI but not in large numbers. These planes were powered by different types of engines. A Rotary engine spins with the propeller blade for cooling. The engine is round in shape with the cylinders extending from the center cam shaft. In line water cooled engines were also used. Bombers were first used in WWI and they usually had more than one engine using either a rotary to water cooled engine but not both in the same plane. When one thinks of a WWI airplane the bi-plane comes to mind (2 wings). But WWI saw many types of deviation's from this with mono, bi, tri and quadro-planes being designed tested and placed into service. (1, 2, 3 and 4 wings) The additional wings it was thought would provide better lift and performance. however these planes were mostly put together using a lot of wire rigging in between the wings to strengthen the plane to prevent the wings from ripping off when performing dogfights where severe forces act upon the wings (G Force). These wries caused more wind resistances and actually slowed down the plane from drag. The planes were covered with a fuel resistant doped fabric for the most part. Although the Germans did use an all wooden design in the Albatros fighter planes, the D series and the Junkers all metal plane the DI. By the end of the war fighter planes were reaching speeds on 120 mph and altitudes of 25,000 feet.
What does not describe the process the wright brothers used to create the first airplane?
The wright brothers figured out how to outfit the plane with wings that flapped, similar to birds' wings. - Apex- Chemistry Semester 2.
What type of fighter plane did the Red Baron fly in World War 1?
Germany's Red Baron flew a peculiar type of fighter plane in World War One. It had three wings and was called the Fokker DR1 triplane.
What will you call a plane that has two sets of wings?
You call a plane with two set of wings a Biplane.A plane with one set of wings is called a monoplane.A plane with three set of wings is called a triplane.
Why do fighter pilots dip their wings then flying over The Wright Brothers Memorial in Kitty Hawk?
I'm guessing to show respect for the inventors of the first plane.
How do high speed fighter planes fly without aerofoil shaped wings?
High-speed fighter planes have aerofoil-shaped wings.
What is an aeroplane with 3 wings?
That's a triplane. Perhaps the best known example is the Fokker Dr1 triplane made famous by German fighter pilot Manfred von Richthofen, better known as the Red Baron.
Can A PLANE fly with out wings?
No. By definition, A PLANE is a fixed-wing aircraft. The wings are absolutely necessary for lift.
What do fighter planes look like?
Characteristics of a Fighter PlaneToday, a fighter plane is usually a jet aircraft. The characteristics of a fighter jet were established back in World War 2, when Britain and Germany made the first jets. One characteristic of the fighter jet was that their wings are swept back. Older airplanes had straight wings, even though they might get smaller further out at the tip. The swept-back wings reduced the drag caused by the voritces at the wing tips. This allowed the jets to fly faster.Most fighter jets have their jet engines mounted inside the fuselage; as opposed to mounted under the wings. The first German fighter jet had wing-mounted engines. Very few fighter jets continued with this design.Most fighter jets have a pilot (or 2 pilots) sitting in a cockpit mounted on top of the fuselage. This provides better visibility so the pilots can watch for enemy aircraft during combat. Bombers will have the cockpit buried down in the fuselage(one exception is the B-47 bomber that had a cockpit like a fighter jet).How to spot a Fighter Plane?Modern jet aircraft have changed dramatically. So this question is difficult to answer. Some fighter jets server in many different roles: fighter, reconnisance, bomber. Some fighter jets have 2-crewmen and 2 engines and are quite large where others are a single pilot and very small. The most recent ones have stealth technology that gives their wings and fuselage very unique shapes.
What do you called a plane with 4 wings?
a bi-plane
What is a plane with two wings one above the other is a?
A plane with two wings, one on top of each other is called a BI-PLANE.
Does a plane have 5 engines?
A plane which has 2engines on their wings 1 is also in the Tail of the Plane same with if a planes wings had 4 engines it also has one in the Tail of the Plane

How many wings does a bi-plane?
Well "bi" means two. This means that your BI plane has two wings.
