What effect if any does high humidity have on aircraft performance?
It decreases performance.
What effect does high density altitude have on aircraft performance?
It reduces climb performance.
How design effect paper airplanes?
Design can effect paper airplanes just as it does real aircraft. Paper airplanes can be a huge variety of designs and be specialized, just as real aircraft. This can be for style orfor performance.
What is the effect of low level wind shear on aircraft performance?
tailwind which shifts to a headwind causes an initial increase in airspeed.
Is the tropopause in the mesosphere?
No. The tropopause is the boundary between the troposphere and that stratosphere.
Describe the effects of altitude on the aircraft?
The higher an aircraft goes the less dense the air is. What this means is there is less air particles surrounding the plane. This has a positive and negative effect on the aircraft. The positive effect is there is less friction on the aircraft allowing for better fuel economy and speeds. The negative effect is that air flow is needed to create lift. If not enough air flows over the wing then not enough lift is produced to keep the aircraft at that height. They counteract this for high altitude aircraft by increasing the speed of the aircraft. It also has an effect on the engines performance. If you get high enough the air becomes so thin that there isn't enough air to support the operations of the engines. this is why there is a mixture lever on many aircraft to allow you to change the fuel/air ration depending on height/
Does the size of the airplane effect its distance?
Yes, website below compares the range of similarly sized aircraft. Performance - Bombardier Learjet 40XR - Super Light Jets
What is the troposphere's topmost boundary?
The troposphere's topmost boundary is the tropopause.
What effect will a elevon have to a aircraft?
An elevon makes the aircraft climb or dive.
Factors affecting aircraft performance?
Factors affecting aircraft performance include air density (affected by altitude and temperature), weight of the aircraft, aerodynamic design, engine power, and wind conditions. These factors can impact an aircraft's speed, rate of climb, range, and handling characteristics. Pilots must consider and adjust for these factors to ensure safe and efficient flight.
What effect does oparating an aileron have on aircraft?
Operating the ailerons will cause the aircraft to roll.
Which is the aircraft with the best performance?
Depends on your definition of performance. For speed or economy, either the SR-71 or the Cessna 152.
