The use of a slot in the leading edge of the wing enables an airplane to land at a slower speed because it?
It allows flight at higher angles of attack, reducing stall speed.
When using five inch thick bases is it permissible to use an orange tapered edge base three inches thick for the contrasting base?
no
How would you use the word tapered in sentence?
I bought a pair of pants that had tapered legs on the end.
How are grapefruit spoons different from regular spoons?
A grapefruit spoon is similar to a standard spoon in every way except for a tapered sharp edge at the end of the spoon. It is intended for use on grapefruits.
Is A tapered punch used to line up holes?
Sure, that's one use for a tapered punch.
What are the internal parts of aircraft wings?
There is a main spar (lengthwise beam) and a front spar (leading edge) a number of ribs that run front to back of the wing and give the wing surface its shape and usually a spar nearing the training edge of the wing. The wing also has panels that move to bank the aircraft ....... on a small plane just one on each wing but on a high speed aircraft, often two .... one for low speed and one for high speed use. There are additional panels at the rear of each wing called flaps to change the airflow over the wing and thus lift and stalling speed. On some aircraft there are additional panels at the front of the wing that do the same when extended for low speed flight. Finally, there are often lift spoilers on the top of the wing which "spoil" lift when they are raised up ..... they also can act as speed brakes. The wing also holds fuel tanks and all of the necessary control lines to run all this stuff.
What is a slat segment for?
Flaps are mounted on the aft or trailing edge of wings. When extended, they change the aerodynamic shape of the wing to produce greater lift at slower speeds. Slats are simply a flap on the leading edge of a wing rather than the trailing edge, increasing lift in a similar manner to a flap. The Slats actually allow the aircraft to obtain greater angle of attack. If too much Flaps are mounted on the trailing edge, this may want to cause the wing to pitch nose down. The Slats is a way to counter-act this force as it tends to cause the nose to pitch upwards. Because both the flap and slat offer great advantages in generating high lift, most aircraft today use a combination of both to maximize the lift coefficient as well as the maximum angle of attack while minimizing the effect of pitching moment.
What does resurfacing a pool mean?
Resurfacing is applying (troweling) a new coat on top of a eroding pool bottom. The best material to use is pool base (vermiculite and portland cement). It can be applied from 1/4" thickness and can be tapered to smooth edge.
Where use antena coupler in aircraft?
An antenna coupler is usually placed at the base of the vertical stabilizer to connect the antenna at the leading edge of the stabilizer to the rest of the system.
In a typical wing structure Who is responsible for use of wing financial resources?
Comptroller Sq
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.
What are the poles called that are on a sailboat that holds the sails?
Mast (vertical, leading edge of sail), Boom (horizontal,bottom of sail), and a spinnaker pole if you use a spinnaker which is a sail type
