What else can I help you with?
What is the wingspan of the plane in feet?
It is the distance from wingtip to opposite wingtip. All aircraft have different wingspan.
Vehicles are prohibited within the circle of safety a circular area surrounding the aircraft extending how many feet around the aircraft from wingtip to wingtip?
10 ft
Who ordered aircraft parked wingtip to wingtip on airfields in Hawaii prior to the attack on Pearl Harbor?
general eisenhower
When are Wingtip vortices are created only when an aircraft is?
developing lift.
When do Wingtip vortices are created only when an aircraft is?
developing lift.
Where on the outside of an aircraft would you find a green navigational light?
On the Starboard or (righthand side) wingtip as looking from the rear of the aircraft. Same as on a ship.
Where is the Wingtip-To-Wingtip Association in Denton Texas located?
The address of the Wingtip-To-Wingtip Association is: 5063 Farris Road, Denton, TX 76208-3588
How winglets work in aircraft?
The wingtip vortex, which rotates around from below the wing, strikes the cambered surface of the winglet, generating a force that angles inward and slightly forward,. The winglet converts some of the wasted energy in the wingtip vortex to an apparent thrust.Another potential benefit of winglets is that they reduce the strength of wingtip vortices.For more details visit: www.phoenixaerotech.comor mail me at: dinesh@phoenixaerotech.com
What is the wing span of a Mockingbird?
An adult is about 14 inches from wingtip to wingtip.
What are wingtip wheels?
wingtip wheels to protect your wingtips and the bottom of your wings, especially on hard runways.
What is wake turbulence?
"Wake turbulence is turbulence that forms behind an aircraft as it passes through the air. This turbulence includes various components, the most important of which are wingtip vortices and jetwash. Jetwash refers simply to the rapidly moving gasses expelled from a jet engine; it is extremely turbulent, but of short duration. Wingtip vortices, on the other hand, are much more stable and can remain in the air for up to three minutes after the passage of an aircraft. Wingtip vortices make up the primary and most dangerous component of wake turbulence. Wake turbulence is especially hazardous during the landing and take off phases of flight, for three reasons. The first is that during take-off and landing, aircraft operate at low speeds and high angle of attack. This flight attitude maximizes the formation of dangerous wingtip vortices. Secondly, takeoff and landing are the times when a plane is operating closest to its stall speed and to the ground - meaning there is little margin for recovery in the event of encountering another aircraft's wake turbulence. Thirdly, these phases of flight put aircraft closest together and along the same flightpath, maximizing the chance of encountering the phenomenon." -http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wake_turbulence
Why do large aircraft have vertical tips on the ends of there main wings?
Wingtip devices are installed in an attempt to improve the performance of the wing in some way. Because they vary a bit is shape and in the manner they are attached, the way they modify the performance of the wing varies. The vertical wingtip devices, or winglets, generally act to reduce the vortex at the wing tip and decrease drag. The general answer to the question is that they have the wingtip devices to improve the aerodynamic performance of the wing.The vertical tip of the wing is called a 'winglet', and it is there to reduce the turbulence that is called a vortex, which is a spinning form of turbulence. These vortices can be clearly seen in videos of the space shuttle landing, when the camera angle is right. These vortexes cause drag, which slows the aircraft down, and reduces fuel efficiency.
