How does aircraft drag increase with speed?
Drag increases by the square of velocity increase, for example, tripling speed increases drag by a factor of nine!
Will speeding up decrease the drag force on an airplane?
In general (special exceptions may apply) increase speed = increase drag.
Why drag increases as lift increase - for helis?
The production of lift creates induced drag. To create more lift, more airspeed is needed, and with airspeed, comes drag.
What is the device in an aircraft wing to reduce lift and decrease speed?
Airplanes use a combination of slats and flaps in order to increase lift and increase drag. The slats are located on the leading edge of the wing and the flaps on the trailing edge. Flaps and slats when extended forward and aft increase the wing area which increases lift. When the flaps and slats are further extended they curve downwards increasing the camber of the wing which also increases lift. The greater the lift, the greater the drag. Deploy the flaps a little and lift overcomes the drag, fully extend them and the drag overcomes the lift. For takeoff the flaps and slats may be extended just a few degrees to increase lift. When flaps and slats are fully deployed in landing configuration, the lift is great but so is the drag and this in turn helps to slow down the airplane on decent to land.
Why do skydivers use parachutes scientifically speaking?
So as not to hit the ground at 120+ MPH.

Drag increases by the square of velocity increase, for example, tripling speed increases drag by a factor of nine!
What is the duration of The Skydivers?
The duration of The Skydivers is 1.25 hours.
Will speeding up decrease the drag force on an airplane?
In general (special exceptions may apply) increase speed = increase drag.
Can you give me alliteration using the word skydivers?
The soaring skydivers swept along the sky.
What are sky divers modifications to increase drag?
If by increase drag, you mean slow the descent, then generally use a larger canopy. If that's not what you mean, then I have no idea.
How are the lift and drag components of the wing affected when you lower the flaps?
lift decrease and increase drag
When was The Skydivers created?
The Skydivers was created on 1963-11-13.
What are two different ways to change drag on an airplane and how would the airplane respond to that?
Flaps would increase drag increasing your speed will increase it even more
How does angle of attack affect lift and drag?
A higher angle of attack has an increase of both lift and drag.
Do rear spoilers increase gas mileage?
Spoilers decrease gas mileage. Spoilers are designed to create down force, which creates drag. The drag will increase gas usage.
What are the purposes of the slats and flaps of an airplane's wings?
Slats and flaps increase drag and also increaselift. The increase in drag slows the aircraft down, and the increase in lift lowers the stall speed, which slows the landing speed of the aircraft.
Why drag is important to skydivers?
A round parachute operates as an aerodynamic decelerator. The theory is to put out enough surface area that the resulting drag results in a fall rate that is survivable and that the jumper can walk away. With rectangular parachutes, or ram air, the parachute is more akin to a glider. The parachute is a wing creating lift, so gravity powers it through the air, and drag keeps it from accelerating infinitely.
