What is the lift force in an aircraft?
The lift force is the force acting against the aircraft's weight. For straight and level flight, lift acts in the upward vertical direction and the weight of the aircraft acts in the downward vertical direction. For level flight, lift = weight.
What is an aircraft the achieve forward propulsion by expelling a stream of fluid called?
An aircraft that achieves forward propulsion by expelling a stream of fluid is called a jet aircraft. Jet engines, such as turbojets or turbofans, expel high-speed exhaust gases to generate thrust and propel the aircraft forward.
What term is used to describe the shape of an aircraft?
The term used to describe the shape of an aircraft is its "aerodynamic profile" or "airfoil". This refers to the cross-sectional shape of the wings and other aerodynamic surfaces that enable the aircraft to generate lift and control its flight.
How does a Boeing 737 works?
A Boeing 737 works by utilizing jet engines to produce thrust, which propels the aircraft forward. The engines take in air, compress it, mix it with fuel, and ignite it to generate the power needed for flight. The wings generate lift as the aircraft moves forward, allowing it to take off, cruise, and land.
What is a sudden and potentially dangerous loss of lift in an aircraft?
A sudden and potentially dangerous loss of lift in an aircraft is known as a stall. This occurs when the angle of attack is too high, causing the airflow over the wings to become disrupted and the aircraft to lose its ability to generate lift. It can lead to a loss of control and potential stalling of the aircraft.
What is the plane that can start with a vertical liftoff then switch to level flight called?
VSTOL = Vertical or Short Take Off and Landing aircraft. Whereas a STOL aircraft is a Short Take Off and Landing Aircraft. Maybe there is a term VTOL just for Vertical Take Off and Landing.
What is absolute altitude?
The vertical distance of the aircraft above the surface.
What is a yaw?
A yaw is the rotation of an aircraft about its vertical axis which causes the aircraft to deviate from its preferred horizontal flight line.
Is weight the major problem when design the aircraft?
As long as the aircraft can generate enough lift to support itself loaded, weight is not an issue. How to generate that lift is a problem, as well as streamlining and reliability.
What are the Main failure causes in an aircraft Vertical stabilizers?
loss of control
What happens if you move a vertical tail on a airplane?
It will make the aircraft unstable
What is Dutch role in aviation?
Dutch roll is the tendency of an aircraft to roll and yaw about its longitudinal and vertical axis due to inherent instability in the design of the aircraft. Generally it is the result of a small vertical stabilizer design.
What aircraft can hover?
Probably any helicopter or VTOL (Vertical Take-Off and Landing) aircraft. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VTOL
What is the Parts of Aircraft?
There are numerous parts on an aircraft. Each one has a specific purpose. Turbine engines generate the thrust while the wings generate lift. Other parts include the cockpit, fuselage, and slats.
What is yaw streeing?
Specifies the side-to-side movement of an aircraft on its vertical axis.
What is datum reference line in aircraft?
Datum is an imaginary vertical plane from which all horizontal measurements are taken with the aircraft in a level flight attitude.
What is empanage?
The tail assembly of an aircraft, including the horizontal and vertical stabilizers, elevators, and rudder.
