The regulations governing the various types of aircraft are based on weight categories. Different categories have different performance and equipment requirements. As a general rule, heavier categories of aircraft would be expected to have more stringent requirements with respect to performance and safety equipment, presumably because they would be more likely to be used in commercial aviation. Hope that helps.

What does the weight of the airplane have to do with the lift of it?

The weight of an aircraft counteracts the lift produced by an aircraft. The heavier an aircraft weighs the greater the lift needed to get off the ground.


Do heavier airplanes fly faster?

Not necessarily. The aircraft with better power to weight ratio will fly fastest.


What is heavier a tank or an a eroplane?

A tank is typically heavier than an airplane. Tanks are military vehicles designed for combat, and they are armored and heavily equipped with weapons. Airplanes are designed for flight, and their weight can vary depending on the type and size of the aircraft.


What element is light weight but strong metal used in things like airplanes?

Aluminum. For some aircraft, a heavier but much stronger metal called titanium is used.


How can I figure out the weight of yarn?

To figure out the weight of yarn, you can use a scale to measure the weight in grams or ounces. Yarn weight is typically categorized into different categories such as lace, fingering, sport, worsted, and bulky, which correspond to different thicknesses and weights of yarn. You can also refer to the yarn label or manufacturer's information for the weight and yardage of the yarn.

What is the weight category of a Boeing 737?

The Boeing 737 is categorized as a Large Aircraft. The next category up is called a Heavy Aircraft and that category starts at 300,000 pounds (maximum certificated gross takeoff weight). A special "Heavy" category starting around 255,000 pounds was created for the Boeing 757 due to it's propensity to generate wake turbulence.


Is trapped fuel part of aircraft basic weight?

Yes, trapped fuel is included in the basic weight of an aircraft because it represents the weight of fuel that cannot be used for flight. This weight is accounted for in the aircraft's operating weight calculations.


How is the wing area related to the speed and weight of the aircraft?

In regards to weight, since the wing is the main lifting body, heavier aircraft will require a larger wing with greater wing area. In regards to speed, a larger wing will of course produce more aerodynamic drag which tends to slow the aircraft down. Obviously large heavy aircraft must have a correspondingly large amount of thrust to overcome this.


How many categories in boxing are?

If you mean "weight categories" there are 17.


How does weight affect lift?

Weight affects lift because as an object gets heavier, it requires more lift force to counteract gravity and stay airborne. This means that a heavier object will need more thrust or a larger wing surface area to generate enough lift to support its weight. Additionally, weight can impact the wing loading and stall speed of an aircraft.


How much weight can you take in flight?

This depends on various factors, including the type of aircraft being flown and its Maximum Takeoff Weight (MTOW), the aircraft's configuration, density of the air (more weight can be taken during the winter season versus summer due to the surface cold air being more dense), runway length versus needed roll to obtain lift on departure, runway length at landing point (Heavier the aircraft on landing, the greater the stopping distance needed), and how the weight is distributed throughout the aircraft.
