Gravity has the same effect on a pilot as any other object. If a plane is flying very fast, the gravity is still pulling the aircraft and the pilot down towards the earth. If the plane performs maneuvers, then the gravity may seem negligible but it still is pulling down. As objects goes higher away from the earth, the pull of the gravitional forces decreases. But a change in the gravitional force would not be noticeable until you get into space---where a jet can not fly.

How do you make a paper plane that goes fast?

You study aerodynamics at a college or a university.


How are airplanes built?

The aeroplane starts out by being drawn out on paper by an aeronautical engineer. He designs the engine, airframe and the interior and avionics on the dashboard the pilots use. He also designs all the electrical and hydraulic lines and air flow controls. Then the people who build the plane follows his drawing designs and start with the Airframe ... like the skeleton of the plane. Then they begin adding the metal body work and wings and start on the interior of the plane. They test the plane once it is built. That is called the prototype of that plane. A test pilot checks it for flying ability, stresses on the plane, handling of the plane and if the avionics function correctly, if the wheels come down properly and if it brakes properly. He has to be certain all the flaps on the plane work right and he also checks to see how fast the plane can go and how high. If the prototype of the plane passes all the testing regiments then they aeroplane company puts it up for sale. Once there are enough orders for planes they start building them in assembly order.


What considerations must engine designers take into account when building a fast-moving vehicle?

Gravity, velocity, and friction?


How fast can a maglev train go?

because the magnets keep it aloft, meaning theres no friction from the groundMaglev trains travel so fast because they do not have any wheels or rails to cause friction. This is also due to the fact that electromagnetism is one of the stronger forces in our universe, much stronger than the force of gravity!


What technology makes the airplane fly?

A modern commercial airplane uses Turbofan Engines, which uses fans and compressors to suck in massive amouts of air. This air is then distributed into a bypass chamber and a core. In the core the air travels through more compressors, squeezing the air. Then the air is mixed with fuel and ignited. This fast and hot air is then pushed through spinning turbines, then mixed with the cool air from the bypass chamber and released through the nozzle at the end of the engine as thrust. This thrust creates a forward push. An airplane flies because its wings are shaped like aerofoils. Aerofoils are shaped like teardrops that curve downward, where the air that travels on top is faster and has lower pressure and the air that travels under is slower and has higher pressure. This ratio of pressure sucks the wing up into the air and sustains its flight. The plane must be moving forward to keep air moving around the wings, so these Turbofan Engines are used to pull the aircraft forward. To steer the plane, special flaps are used. There are many different kinds, including Ailerons, Elevators, Spoilers, the Rudder, and Flaps. Ailerons control the plane when it dips to either side, elevators control the plane when it points upward or downward, spoilers act as air brakes and slow the plane, the rudder turns the plane, and the flaps slow down the plane a lot for landings. These different flaps do what they do because they slow or stop the airflow around portions of the wings.

Could a Gyroscope spinning fast enough counter act gravity?

No. The effects are unrelated.


Why is the airplane fast?

Airplanes are fast because it has to fly through gravity at full force. If the plane goes very slow at 35,000 feet, It will plunge straight to the ground in a matter of seconds


What happens to the plane when the pilot closes the throttle?

The plane will stall.2nd Answer:If the pilot is really dumb, the plane might stall - she should either advance the throttle or tip the plane's nose down to gain speed. The usual thing is for the plane to fly more slowly. As it flies more slowly, it will lose altitude and get closer to the ground. At some point, the wings are not moving through the air fast enough to support the weight of the plane, and then the plane drops like a rock or stalls. The idea is for this to happen when the plane's tires are only a foot or two above the runway.

Is a plane really fast?

yes a plane is very fast compared to a car it goes about 30 times faster than a car while the plane is taking off


Can an electric train go faster than plane?

A fast train can be faster than a slow plane. But even a regular plane will be faster than fast train.

Can airplane be static in air?

Theoretically, yes. The force in which balances gravity and keeps the plane in air is produced by the relative speed between the air and the plane's wings. When the air is still, the plane has to move (fast!), relative to the air. If the planes is to be static, then the air has to move: really fast. However, winds of such strengths are rather unlikely concerning passanger jets and large planes. For small (model planes, etc), it is hightly possible.


Do you feel you heavier or lighter when riding an escalator?

It depends if you are going up or down :)If you are going up, that's extra gravity pressure but If you are going down you are lighter.For example if you going down very fast, with plane it is possible to feel like you are in space. 0 gravity :D
