Why do pilots have to know wind velocity?
Pilots need to know wind velocity because, when landing and taking off, they need to adjust their power and other settings for wind to be able to stay on course.
What is the use of wind vane in airports?
It shows the direction of the wind. Necessary knowledge for light aircraft pilots.
Is wind power helpful?
yes, it saves time and money, its sometimes not reliable does pay for itself with profits
Disadvantages of generate electricity in a wind turbine?
weather can change, wind does not blow all the time and at the same speed all the time so the power output OS a wind turbine is not as predictable as that of a fossil fuel burning power plant, where you have option of using as much fuel you want, at any time.
What is meaning of streamlined design of vehicles?
Streamlining means making a design as aerodynamic (which the least resistance of factors such as the wind). This saves fuel, and will reduce CO2 emitters.
What fuel will never run out?
Solar, wind and tidal are three sources of fuel/energy that will only run out at the end of time.
Why is it important for airplane pilots to know wind velocity and not just wind speed during a flight?
Wind velocity is vector quantity. direction is also important.
What type of fuel is wind?
Wind isn't considered a type of fuel at all. Wind is a renewable energy source though.
Why is measuring the velocity of the wind and the pressure of the wind important?
Its important for the pilots in air planes and the designers of air planes. Please recommend me!
What type of fuel is wind energy?
Wind isn't considered a type of fuel at all. Wind is a renewable energy source though.
Who were the Japanese pilots who volunteered for suicide missions?
Suicide missions in aviation by Japanese pilots in World War 2 were deliberately flying their aircraft into a ship or another aircraft. The Japanese believed this was a high sign of bravery and loyalty to their country.
What was the Japanese strategy called in which fighter pilots deliberately crashed their planes into enemy ships?
The suicide pilots were known as the kamikaze (Japanese for divine wind). Many of these pilots had no training in using bombs or torpedoes, as armaments and capable combat pilots were in short supply. It was comparatively easier to dive into ships with a plane having only one large explosive.
