What is the lift force in an aircraft?
The lift force is the force acting against the aircraft's weight. For straight and level flight, lift acts in the upward vertical direction and the weight of the aircraft acts in the downward vertical direction. For level flight, lift = weight.
How do the horizontal components of a projectile motion vary from the vertical components?
Horizontal . . . acceleration is zero, speed is constant Vertical . . . acceleration is 'G' downward, speed constantly increases downward
What is the plane that can start with a vertical liftoff then switch to level flight called?
VSTOL = Vertical or Short Take Off and Landing aircraft. Whereas a STOL aircraft is a Short Take Off and Landing Aircraft. Maybe there is a term VTOL just for Vertical Take Off and Landing.
What does the vertical stabelizer generate on an aircraft?
Directional drag
When you throw a ball up why does the vertical component undergo change?
Because there's a constant downward vertical force on the ball, so it must accelerate downward. If you give it an initial upward velocity, the magnitude of that upward velocity must steadily decrease, and it must eventually dwindle to zero and then become downward velocity. The constant downward vertical force on the ball is the force of attraction between the mass of the ball and the mass of the Earth, caused by gravity.
What is absolute altitude?
The vertical distance of the aircraft above the surface.
What is a yaw?
A yaw is the rotation of an aircraft about its vertical axis which causes the aircraft to deviate from its preferred horizontal flight line.
What are the Main failure causes in an aircraft Vertical stabilizers?
loss of control
What happens if you move a vertical tail on a airplane?
It will make the aircraft unstable
What is Dutch role in aviation?
Dutch roll is the tendency of an aircraft to roll and yaw about its longitudinal and vertical axis due to inherent instability in the design of the aircraft. Generally it is the result of a small vertical stabilizer design.
What is the vertical acceleration of a projectiles?
9.8 meters (32.2 feet) per second2 , directed downward.
How does the downward component of the motion of a projectile compare to the motion of vertical free fall?
They're equal.
