What is a Fixed Wing Airplane?
A fixed-wing aircraft is an aircraft which has wings that are attached to the aircraft and do not move. The term is used to differentiate airplanes from other types of flying vehicles such as lifting-body aircraft (balloons and blimps) or rotary aircraft such as helicopters and auto gyros. All airplanes are considered fixed-wing aircraft and even swing-wing or otherwise moving-wing airplanes are usually referred to as being in the fixed-wing category of aircraft.
Was is an aileron?
It is a control surface on the wing of an aircraft. It is used to bank the aircraft on an angle in flight. It is on the trailing outer edge of each wing.
What is the science behind a helicopter?
In avionics, a helicopter is known as a Rotary Wing Aircraft. (As distinct from a fixed wing aircraft. ) This indicates the operating principle is based on the ordinary wing profiles used to generate lift.
What was Philip Condit's first design at Boeing?
He made his presence felt by designing a flexible wing called the "sailwing," which improved the durability and maneuverability of jet aircraft.
How would one describe a biplane?
One would describe a biplane as a wing that can be used as a fixed wing for an aircraft, this has two wings that used biplane design to fly the aircraft one after the other. The other biplane in biology is a wing of some animals that can fly.
The effect of positive or negative 'g' on autorotation in fixwed wing aircraft?
AUTOROTATION is only for Rotary Wing aircraft...not fixed wing
Who were the the pilots on US aircraft shot down in Desert Storm?
Approximately 37 US fixed-wing aircraft and 23 rotor-wing aircraft were lost during DS. Approximately 15 of those fixed-wing aircraft & 18 of the rotor-wing aircraft were lost to operational causes (accidents).
Where is the wing to Fuselage attachment for Beech 1900D Aircraft?
The wing spar on this aircraft is one solid assembly tip to wing tip so it is an integral part of the fuselage. This aircraft is not the usual kingair wingbolt bathtub fitting holding the wing on.
What does an airplane need to be considered when desining an airplane?
Well an airplane is just a category in the term aircraft. There are fixed wing aircraft, rotarty aircraft, lighter than air aircraft, glider, etc. An airplane would be under fixed wing in category. If you are designing an airplane it has to have one or more engines, it needs to be fixed wing (meaning the wing is attached to the fuselage), and needs wheels for land or floats for water. By law the airplane must have an airspeed indicator, a magnetic compass, and an altitude indicator at the least. The plane also has to be weighted and balanced and registrated, etc. Not sure if I really answered your question or not but I hope it helps
What is the definition of a sweptback wing?
An aircraft wing that is angled back.
Can a plane fly with one wing?
>No it cannot fly with one wing. UNLESS the aircraft's body actually produces sufficient lift, such as a "flying wing" aircraft
How many American aircraft were lost in Vietnam War?
Approximately 2,000 fixed wing aircraft were lost; approximately 5,000 rotary-wing aircraft were lost.
