What happens to a plane's air speed when the nose drops slightly?
What happens to a plane's air speed when the nose drops slightly, is that the plane accelerates.
How is the air pressure around a tree different from the air pressure around a plane?
Trees grow from the ground. The ground is often lower than a plane. If the plane is lower than the ground, the passengers and crew are having a very bad day. Since the typical plane that is flying is flying higher than the trees in the vicinity, it is safe to conjecture that the air pressure around a typical tree is higher than the air pressure around a typical plane flying in the vicinity of those trees.
How does an air plane stay in the air?
By not having enough lift and air speed under the wings.
If a plane can travel at 490 miles per hour with the wind and 430 miles per hour against the wind what is the speed of the plane in still air?
Wind speed is 30 while the plane speed it 460
What is the plane's cruising speed in km per hour in air still?
It would depend on the make and model of the plane
What is the function of a fighter plane?
The main function of the fighter plane was for air-to-air combat against other aircraft. The hallmarks of the fighter plane are its speed, maneuverability, and small size relative to other combat aircraft. The main objective of the fighter plane is to establish air superiority.
What keeps the plane in the air?
wings and speed are the main sources that keeps planes in the air! you can find out more by google it
How long is the flight from London to Tivat?
well it all depends on the plane that you get, a typical passenger plane going at a consistent speed would take about five hours. I hope that this helped :)
What is the fastest landing or takeoff of a plane?
When a plane is taking off it should go at a speed at 160 knots before reaching into the air..
What would be the air to fuel ratio of typical petrol engine at cruising speed?
14.7:1
What speed does it take to keep a jet in air?
Propulsion is what keeps a jet in the air. Otherwise the plane has to fall down. Propulsion keeps the air always flowing over the wing which in turn keeps the plane afloat.
What speed do planes need to go to stay in the air?
The speed a airplane needs to go to stay in the air, depends on the plane. Each plane has different factors, such as weight, manureverability and the conditions which it is flying in.In general, the speed a plane needs to stay at, is the level of it's "Stall Speed". A "Stall", is when a airplanes engine/propeller stops moving. This gradually slows down the aircraft, which then will bring the plane lower and lower. Also the planes "Flaps", the parts of their wings that can tilt, can change the speed and how long it will travel until it will come to ground level.Google Stall Speed and the plane you are inquiring about to get the exact figures.
