What is meant by longitudinal dynamics of aircraft?

Longitudinal aircraft dynamics variables are (small) deviations from operating point or trim conditions state (components): u: velocity of aircraft along body axis v: velocity of aircraft perpendicular to body axis (down is positive) : angle between body axis and horizontal (up is positive) q : angular velocity of aircraft (pitch rate)


What is your current velocity?

It is pretty close to 0. I am sitting at a desk. However, I am also sitting on the planet earth which is revolving on its axis as well as rotating around the sun (approximately); the sun is rotating along with our arm of the Milky Way Galaxy, the Milky Way Galaxy is moving through space towards the Andromeda Galaxy and our local cluster is headed towards ... . My head starts spinning when I think of all the calculations required. Besides, what fixed frame of reference can I use to measure all these movements?


Why AC output is a sine wave?

The AC supply is sinusoidal by the electricity being produced in a rotating machine - the alternator - that spins coils of wired across a magnetic field. The voltage is proportional to the rate at which the coil is cutting across the field so maximum at the infinitesimally small point at which it is moving perpendicular to the field; minimum when moving for an equally tiny moment along the field lines. Since the coil is rotating, the voltage at any one point is therefore proportional to the instantaneous angle of the coil with the field. So we now have an angular relationship that is changing continuously through the full 360 º of each rotation, hence the voltage follows the sine of the angle, by basic trigonometry. Each complete turn (360º) therefore gives 1 complete cycle with the 0V crossings where the wire is effectively moving along the magnetic field lines for an extremely brief moment.


Is antenna passive or active component?

An active antenna is an antenna which has an amplifier attached very closely to it. The antenna/amplifier system is called an active antenna. It is used for receiving signals only. The idea is to set the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) before the signal travels along a transmission line where it is susceptible to interference and loss.


How do beam bridges support weight or load on them?

Instead of pushing straight down, the load of an arch bridge is carried outward along the curve of the arch to the supports at each end. The weight is transferred to the supports at either end.

The Car Needs Petrol Because?

Car engines burn fuel in cylinders. When the fuel burns the air in the cylinders expands. The expanding air pushes down on a piston. The piston pushes down on a crankshaft. Then the piston comes back up. The piston going down and up makes the crankshaft rotate. This rotating motion is transferred to the wheels of the car. That pushes the car along. Thus the fuel burning in the cylinders pushes the pistons. Without Petrol to burn in the cylinders, the pistons would not push the crankshaft. It would not make the wheels move.


How do you stay on the surface of earth when it is rotating?

Gravity. And, we are moving right along with the surface.


If we jump in the air why do we fall back on the same spot given that the earth is rotating beneath us at 1100 miles per sec. Also why can't we see the earth rotating from a commercial aircraft?

Answer to your first question:When you are stationery on the Earth you are actually moving with the earth at 1100 miles per sec. So when you jump, at the instant before the jump you have a velocity of 1100 miles per sec.And so while you're in air, due to inertia, you move along with the earth at that velocity and thus all along ur jump have the same velocity. So you land at the same spot you started with. Answer to your second question:This one is pretty much the same as the first.When a commercial aircraft lifts off, whatever maybe its speed, it is actually relative to the Earth. That is, say if the speed of the aircraft is like 400 miles per sec it is actually 400 miles per sec + 1100 miles per sec. All along the flight the speed remains = (speed of plane) + 1100 miles per sec.So basically that aircraft moves much faster than the earth and we dont notice the earth rotating.


What is the pitch of an aircraft?

The pitch of the aircraft is the amount of rotation along the lateral axis. The lateral axis runs along the wingspan, therefore the pitch is the amount that the nose of the plane is above or below that axis.
