What happens to the planes air speed when the nose drops slightly?

well you see the effects may vary greatly depending upon factors such as wind speed, wind direction, altitude, humidity etc ,etc. some factors have small but significant effects such as causing the air that is passing over the tops of the wings to become more dense therefore generating more drag this in turn would create a fairly substantial decrease in air speed if the nose was turned down. however this is only one given situation with simple variables there are also other conditions that are beyond my ability to describe here :). so to fully answer your question my inquisitive friend, the planes air speed due to dropping the nose slightly can vary greatly due to a huge range of variables and circumstances. i hope this works for you :) good luck with any further querys.

What happens to a plane's air speed when the nose drops slightly?
What happens to a plane's air speed when the nose drops slightly, is that the plane accelerates.
What happens to a planes speed when it dives?
If all other things are equal the speed will increase.However. As with most thing this question is based on false hidden assumptions.In reality, 'diving' is just a loss of altitude by pitching the nose downwards, and most planes actually SLOW DOWN when they 'dive' because they throttle back significantly at the same time as they are making an approach to an airport for landing.
Can the human eye estimate speed?
Human eye cannot estimate speed because planes are too fast for an eye to estimate speed.
What happens when light bends and travels through water?
The speed of light though substances is slower than the speed of light in a vacuum. As the light passes from air to water it slows and the ray's path is translated towards the normal to the air/water interface slightly.
As speed increases what happens to potential energy?
Potential energy is unrelated to speed.
What happens to a plane's air speed when the nose drops slightly?
What happens to a plane's air speed when the nose drops slightly, is that the plane accelerates.
What happens to the planes air speed when the throttle is opened?
When the throttle is opened wide, it accelerates down the runway.
What happens if you drops a ten cent coin of the Effiel tower?
it will go the same speed as a bullet from a gun
What happens to the cerebrum when drinking alcohol?
The speed of its functioning are temporarily reduced slightly when drinking.
What strange thing happens to the harrier plane in it's faster than light speed?
No planes are faster than light.
What happens to the planes air speed when the throttle is opened wide?
When the throttle is opened wide, it accelerates down the runway.
What happens to the air pressure and wind speeds in a hurricane in a category 4 or 5?
Air pressure drops and wind speed increases.
If a wave is traveling at a certain speed and its frequency is doubled what happens to the wavelength of that wave?
Wavelength = 1/frequency. If you double the frequency, the wavelength drops to half.
Who photographs flying planes?
Pictures of planes flying are taken from a similar plane (in speed).
How do high speed fighter planes fly without aerofoil shaped wings?
High-speed fighter planes have aerofoil-shaped wings.
How would people travel at the speed of sound?
We can use ultrasonic planes. They can travel with that speed.
Are there any drops in disneys test track?
No. The thrill comes from speed rather than drops.
