A fixed-wing aircraft is an aircraft which has wings that are attached to the aircraft and do not move. The term is used to differentiate airplanes from other types of flying vehicles such as lifting-body aircraft (balloons and blimps) or rotary aircraft such as helicopters and auto gyros. All airplanes are considered fixed-wing aircraft and even swing-wing or otherwise moving-wing airplanes are usually referred to as being in the fixed-wing category of aircraft.
What else can I help you with?
When was the airplane invinted?
1905 was the first fixed wing airplane
What is the defntion for airplane?
An airplane is defined as a fixed wing, heavier than air, aircraft with a power-plant (Motor).
What does an airplane need to be considered when desining an airplane?
Well an airplane is just a category in the term aircraft. There are fixed wing aircraft, rotarty aircraft, lighter than air aircraft, glider, etc. An airplane would be under fixed wing in category. If you are designing an airplane it has to have one or more engines, it needs to be fixed wing (meaning the wing is attached to the fuselage), and needs wheels for land or floats for water. By law the airplane must have an airspeed indicator, a magnetic compass, and an altitude indicator at the least. The plane also has to be weighted and balanced and registrated, etc. Not sure if I really answered your question or not but I hope it helps
Can airplane stop on air?
Rotary wing aircraft can. They are commonly called helicopters. However, fixed wing aircraft need air moving over the wings to hold them up.
Difference between airplane and aircraft?
Aircraft is a general term for anything that is capable of flight. This could include fixed-wing, helicopters, gliders, blimps, gyro copters, gyro planes, and balloons. Airplane typically refers to fixed-wing aircraft, but technically means anything with wings that is capable of flight.
What wing design for a paper airplane will soar the farthest?
What wing design for a paper airplane will soar the farthest
What is the forward thrust for an airplane?
A fixed wing aircraft generates forward thrust when air is pushed in the direction opposite to flight. It is proportional to the mass of the airstream.
Does the shape of an airplane wing matter?
Yes because an airplane wing has to cut through wind and create loft and lift.
What is the best wing shape for a airplane?
The best wing shape for sn airplane is like a triangle because it fly straight
What is the difference between a airplane and an aircraft?
An aircraft is any flying machine including blimps, helicopters, hot air balloons, etc. An airplane is a fixed wing aircraft like an airliner or personal General Aviation plane.
What type of air is above an airplane wing when it is flying?
The air above an airplane wing in flight is at lower pressure than the air below the wing. Hope this helps.
What is the wing span of an airplane?
It's the length of the wing. Depends on make.
