How does air make a balloon fly?
air is heavier than balloon, air rises
Why do air balloons rise when heated air is trapped inside the balloon?
Warm air is heavier than cold air so it rises up.
What gas do hot air balloons have?
The balloon contains air andthe products of combustion of propane, namely carbon dioxide, which is heavier than air, and steam, which is much lighter than air.
What did the Wright brothers do on December 17 1903?
They flew their first heavier-than-air powered airplane.
What gas is in a hot air balloon?
A hot air balloon is inflated with air and then heated by a propane fueled burner. The balloon contains air andthe products of combustion of propane, namely carbon dioxide, which is heavier than air, and steam, which is much lighter than air.
Which craft is a heavier-than-air flying craft?
An airplane is a heavier than air flying craft
Which is a heavier-than-air flying craft?
An airplane is a heavier than air flying craft
What is the wrights brothers famous for?
making the first airplane and succesfully flying it
What does the phrase heavier than air vehicle mean?
There are two types of air-craft: Heavier-than-air and lighter-than-air. Lighter-than-air craft are things like zepplins and balloons that, due to the gas inside actually weigh less than air, and so float upwards. Heavier-than-air craft are basically everything else. Airplanes and the like are not able to float on air and require some sort of thrust and lift system to get them airborn.
To fly or navigate the air in a heavier than air flying machine?
Answer is AVIATE
What kind of flying machine is heavier than air?
Any object, provided it is aerodynamic in its design, may be rendered airborne, providing it can generate the needed lift and thrust.
What is an unpowered fixed-wing heavier-than-air craft called?
Glider
What is an aerodyne?
An aerodyne is a heavier-than-air craft, deriving its lift from motion.
How many type aircraft?
There are "lighter-than-air" craft which are known as blimps or balloons, "heavier-than-air" craft which are divided into fixed-wing (airplanes) and rotary wings (helicopters).
Which was the first air transport company?
The first true air transport company of the heavier than air craft was Boeing. It began service in 1920.
What is an aviette?
An aviette is a heavier-than-air flying machine in which the motive power is furnished solely by the aviator.
What is the difference between lighter than air and heavier than an air vehicle?
"Lighter than air" aircraft are lighter than air! The most common are blimps. They do not rely on wings to generate lift. They contain a lighter than air gas (ex:helium) that lifts the craft into the air when ties to the ground are released. "Heavier than air" aircraft are the opposite. They rely on wings to generate lift to get into the air. Common heavier than air aircraft are general airplanes you see in the sky everyday.
