How do airplanes stay in flight?
Planes stay in flight because of bernoulli's principle. When air passes over a airplanes wing. The air that goes on the top of the wing moves faster than the air the goes on the bottom. Thsi auses a low pressure system above the wing and a high pressure system beneath the wing. The high pressure below the wing pushes the airplane up allowing it to fly.
How do airplanes flya?
They way airplanes fly is actually very simple. The wing of an airplane is curved on the top and flat on the bottom. This means that the top side of the wing is longer than the bottom part. When air passes by the wing, some of the air goes on top and some on the bottom. Because the particles of air want to stay together by the law of attraction, the air that passes over the top of the wing moves faster than the air that flows under the wing. This causes a low pressure system to form above the wing and a high pressure system to form below the wing. The higher pressure beneath the wing forces the wing up allowing the air plane to fly. This is also called Bernoullis principle.
How do airplanes use Bernoulli's Principle?
Bernoulli's Principle states that where the speed of a fluid is fast, the pressure is low, and where the speed of a fluid is slow, the pressure is high. Airplanes use Bernoulli's Principle in lift. The top of an airplane wing is longer than the bottom. This causes molecules to move faster in order to stay together, creating an area of low pressure. Underneath the wing, the molecules move more slowly because there are more molecules in a smaller area- this creates an area of high pressure. Since air moves from high pressure to low pressure, the wings are forced upwards, creating lift.
Can an airplane go to space?
No. Airplanes need air to fly. The wing shape when passing through the air, creates more pressure on the bottom of the wing than on the top creating lift. In space there is no air and so airplanes will not work.
How does and aircraft becomes airborne?
There is a lot of explanation: but these are the basics: An airplanes wing is in a special shape it is flat on bottom and Curved on top. When a plane picks up speed the air must get from in front of the wing to the back of the wing. ( there cannot be a vacume!) Because the wing is curved air on top of the wing has to travel faster than the air on the bottom. The laws of physics state that as velocity (speed) increases, pressure decreases. therefore the atmospheric pressure on the top of the wing decreases and the plane rises.
How a plane flys?
Well, As you probably know, a planes wing is shaped like a half circle. Turn a D to the left and you know what it looks like. Because the fastest way from point A to point B is a straight line, it has to go faster over top. This creates low pressure on top and high pressure on bottom. The high pressure on the bottom pushes up, and the plane lifts.
How do an airplanes wings life the airplane?
In flight, a wing has lower pressure on top and higher pressure on bottom due to Bernoulli's principle which in turn "sucks" the airplane into the air. The air on top must travel a longer distance than the air on bottom in order to meet up again because of the shape of the wing therefore causing the effects of Bernoulli's principle.
Movable sections on the wings which slow down the airplane?
Their are two items on a airplanes wing that can slow down the aircraft. One is that flaps located on the back of the wing changing the shape of the wing creating more air pressure on the bottom of the wing creating lift. Second their is spoilers or airbrakes on the top of the wing that decrease lift and increase drag causing the plane to slow.
Atmospheric pressure on the top of a wing in flight is?
Low. High on the bottom low on the top creating lift. The faster the airflow the greater the pressure difference and the greater the lift.
How does lift work?
If you are asking about the lift in terms of flying, then this is a simple explanation of it: a wing is curved on top, and straight on the bottom. This means that if the wing starts moving forwards, the air has to move faster over the top of the wing, than underneath the bottom of it, creating an area of lower pressure at the top. This means that the high pressure from the bottom is greater than the pressure from the top, forcing the wing upwards. if this is somewhat awkwardly explained, this site might help better: http://www.allstar.fiu.edu/aero/fltmidfly.htm
What is Lift and drag?
Lift is an aerodynamic force that results from the air passing over the curvature of the wing. It causes a reaction. A high pressure on the bottom of the wing and a lower pressure on top of the wing. As a result, high pressure wants to go to low pressure and so the wind is lifted into the air. Drag is the force opposite to thrust. It is created by the airplane as it moves through the air. The faster the airplane, the more the drag.
Why doesn't an airplane fall?
Airplanes do not "fall" because the lift from the wings is enough to counteract the force of gravity. Because of the shape of the wing, there is lower pressure above the wing and higher pressure below.
