If an aircraft is flying horizontally then its weight must be balanced by what force?
Lift balances weight. Thrust balances drag.
How do scientist measure mass?
m=e/(c^2) In a more practical and day to day sense, they use balances, either top pan or analytical balances. These balances are calibrated using a specific set of weights.
Which force balances gravity on a rock on a hill?
friction
What are the different types of balances used in a physics laboratory?
The following are the balances used in a Physics laboratory: Micrometer screw gag Measuring cylinder Stopwatch Vernier caliper
How many ways are there to turn a generator?
Three: xy plane, xz plane, yz plane.
Autopilot on plane harmful to environment?
a little
Do airplanes have nap rooms for crew?
no the pilots just put their plane on autopilot and go to sleep
Why is a plane's automatic pilot called George?
Answers vary. There is a discussion of the naming of the autopilot here.
What does the pilot do when the plane is on auto pilot?
When the plane is on autopilot, the pilot monitors the autopilot to ensure it is functioning properly. They make necessary adjustments to maintain the desired flight path and comply with Air Traffic Control instructions. They also monitor their gauges: oil temp, fuel, rpms, etc.
Why did Charles Lindbergh stay awake in the flight over the atlantic?
Because without an autopilot, and being alone in the plane, he had to remain awake to fly the plane and avoid crashing.
How did Payne Stewart die?
Payne Stewart probably died due to the decompression of the private plane he was in. The plane was on autopilot and several hours after the point where everyone was probably already dead there was a tragic plane crash.
What is autopilot in Tagalog?
Tagalog Translation of AUTOPILOT: awtomatikong piloto
Can a plane land on autopilot?
Yes it can, it's known as a Cat III approach If you are still confused about this. Watch Dnthenumber10's tutorials.
How can you put autopilot in a sentence?
my autopilot is dead
What drives the plane at take off?
The captain and copilot pull the yoke back and the aircraft takes off autopilot can't help take off for some reason. Pilot's fly the plane .
Can a boeing777 land on autopilot?
YES! ANY modern airliner can land on autopilot as long as the airport has a ILS (instrument Landing System) The pilot/s would tune in the ILS frequency to NAV 1 module and then engage autopilot and select the APP or APR button, this will keep the plane on the connrect glideslope and flightpaff. all the pilotsb have to do is adjust power acordingly and operate the flaps
How does an auto pilot work?
Autopilot or otherwise known as Automatic Flight Control System (AFCS) is an integrated system in most advanced airplanes. Autopilots can control from one to three axes of motion. They work by controlling the main control surfaces on a plane, ailerons which control roll along the longitudinal axis, rudder which control yaw along the vertical axis, and elevator which control pitch along the lateral axis. To operate the system, the pilot enters the information, such as altitude and heading, and the system compares this information with sensors on the airplane. If the autopilot senses a discrepancy between the pilot input and the sensors on the airplane, it sends a signal to the servo in charge of moving the control surface in order to correct this discrepancy. For example if the pilot enters into the autopilot an altitude of 10000ft, and the altimeter sensor detects that the altitude is 8000ft the autopilot will send a signal to the servo that controls the elevator, this signal will tell the servo to move the elevator up in order to increase the altitude. This motion of the elevator is the same as if the pilot had pulled back on the yoke to increase altitude.The most common autopilots control the following surfaces.Single axis autopilot - control the aileronsDual axis autopilot - control ailerons and elevatorThree axis autopilot - control ailerons, rudder, and elevator
