What is the difference between takeoff weight and landing weight of aircrafts and how it calculated?
Is ramp weigt less trip fuel
How do aircrafts or petrol tankers prevent the buildup of excessive static electicity?
Airplanes accumulate static electricity when its in the air (air friction). The friction then strips electrons from the atmosphere and causes them to build up on the airplane.
Do airplanes have any friction?
Yes. Airplanes experience drag from the air when in flight and friction from the ground when they are taxiing. There is also friction between parts in the plane.
What is the angle between the airplanes wing and the direction of airflow called?
This is called the "angle of attack."
What is the difference between clucth and coupling?
difference between clucth and coupling
What is the difference between blimps and airplanes?
Beside the actual design of course, the difference is that airplanes use their engines/propellers and wing to create air flow and fly while blimps, zeppelins, and the like use hot air to propel themselves up and increase or decrease hot air in the balloon to go up or down. This is the main difference between the two aircrafts.

How do airplanes get there electricity?
Electrical generators are installed on the aircrafts engines to provide the necessary electrical power.
