What does a plane need to make it fly?
Using light-weight materials, an aerodynamic design, power source to get the plane off the ground will all help. Probably the biggest thing a plane needs is enough lift from the wings. The shape of the wing helps create this lift. The wing's profile kind of looks like a tear drop that is flat on the bottom and curved on the top tapering to a point to the rear of the wing. If I remember correctly, this profile creates an area of high pressure on the underside of the wing compared to a lower pressure on top of the wing. This is what creates the lift for the plane. Of course you have to maintain a proper speed to maintain this lift in order to keep the plane in the air...Hope that helps.
How aircraft fly?
Aircraft fly based on the principal of lift. Lift is the force that pushes a plane up. A wing is curved, which means the air flowing over the top of the wing is moving slower than the air moving under the wing. This faster moving air pushes up on the wing and the plane, making it fly.
Which has more lift a plane with large wings or a plane with small wings flying at the same speed?
A plane with large wings is likely to have more lift because the airflow around the plane is more.AnswerThe amount of Lift produced by a wing depends on several variables: Wing size(plan shape), Airfoil shape and Angle of Attack.Wings are designed with different airfoil shape. So a large wing will not have the same airfoil shape as a smaller wing for the same aircraft weight. Like wise, the wing can be designed to have a fixed angle of attack that is more on one aircraft than another.
Can the length of a paper airplanes wingspan make it fly frther?
Not necessarily. It's all down to the aerodynamic shape of the wing - and the amount of force used to propel the plane.
How airplane take a turn in air?
Flaps increase air resistance on one wing, causing the plane to turn that direction. Alternately, one might increase thrust in an engine on a wing, causing the plane to turn the opposite direction. Some jet aircraft have attitude jets on the wing tips which can be rotated.
Why is a plane's wing curved?
To make it more aerodynamic.
What part of the planes wing controls the direction of the plane?
Rudder on the wing of the plane controls the direction.
What is the wing of a plane called?
It is just called the wing.
What is a plane with one wing called?
Mono plane.
What is the function of the wing of a plane?
To lift the plane and enable it to fly.
What does the wing do on a plane?
It provides lift to keep the plane airborne.
To make an airplane turn a pilot increases the drag on one wing On which wing would a pilot increase drag to make the plane turn to the right?
The right one Kind of. Actually by moving the aileron downward the pilot increases the arch of the wing causing it to produce more lift causing that wing to raise up, making the plane roll. By moving an aileron upward the pilot removes some arch from the wing causing it to produce less lift and the wing dips. The rudder on the tail of the plane actually steers the plane much like a rudder steers a boat. However it is a combination of the ailerons and the rudder that produce a coordinated turn, keeping the center of gravity in the center of the plane, and making it a comfortable turn.
How does a pilot change the direction of the plane?
A pilot has special controls on the plane which are used to fly the plane. These are used to roll, pitch, and yaw the plane. To roll the plane to the right or left, the ailerons are raised on one wing and lowered on the other. The wing with the lowered aileron rises while the wing with the raised aileron drops. Pitch is to make a plane descend or climb. The pilot adjusts the elevators on the tail to make a plane descend or climb. Lowering the elevators caused the airplane's nose to drop, sending the plane into a down. Raising the elevators causes the airplane to climb. Yaw is the turning of a plane. When the rudder is turned to one side, the airplane moves left or right. The airplane's nose is pointed in the same direction as the direction of the rudder. The rudder and the ailerons are used together to make a turn .
A single wing plane is called?
a single winged plane is called a monoplane
What type of wing design makes a paper plane stay in the air longest?
The large wing usually works depending on what type of paper plane you want.
What type of wing design makes the paper plane stay in the air longest?
The large wing usually works depending on what type of paper plane you want.
Why do wing length and plane weight matter with paper airplanes?
The combination of wing area and plane weight affect a paper airplane's glide ratio and range.
