Beacuse if we cme with lower speed we can stall just at 50 ft,which is more than a danger..we come with speed so tht we can land with full control on aircraft coz more airflow more effective controls.

Max speed of FA 18 landing on a aircraft carrier?

There really isn't a max speed of an F/A-18 landing on an aircraft carrier because: (skip to the bottom for the general and quick answer which is just a guess) 1) If the aircraft was going too fast, the tail hook would break upon hooking onto the wires 2) If the aircraft was going too fast, the wires the plane uses to stop would snap when the tail hook hooked them at a high speed 3)If the aircraft was flying over a speed of 240 knots (nautical miles per hour) the planes landing gear and flaps would automtically retract 4) The perfered speed to land (or the speed you should be traveling if you are doing everything right) should be 135 knots 5)If you were going too fast, the Landing Signal Officer (or LSO) would tell you to wave off (or abort the current landing pattern and realign for a new landing) So if there had to be a max speed to land on a carrier I'd say it would probably be about 150-160 knots


What is flaps on in aircraft?

The flaps on an aircraft are on the trailing edge of the wing and vertical stabiliser on the tail and are hinged to wing downwards. By bringing these down the stall speed of an air craft may be reduced allowing it to slow down more upon landing and to be able to reach air speed more quickly upon take off.


Do any warships have landing pads for planes?

Yes google Aircraft Carrier if you won't to find out more.


What is the maximum tempo or rate of landings and take offs on an aircraft carrier?

The maximum rate of take offs and landings (tempo) on an aircraft carrier is 2 takeoffs and one landing every 37 seconds during the daylight and one takeoff and landing every minute during nighttime.


What was the first jet aircraft to hover?

The Harrier 'Jump-Jet.' Capable of taking off and landing vertically or normally.

What is the landing angle of an aircraft?

Most aircraft have different landing angels dependent on weight, wing shape and stalling speed.


What is the proper landing speed of a huge jet?

The proper landing speed of a huge aircraft is between 250 to 300 kmph. A good landing speed is 280kmph. Over speed in the landing then you may not be able to stop the plane in time.


What is the landing speed of fighter jet on an aircraft carrier?

"The landing system on an aircraft carrier can stop a 54,000 pound airplane traveling at 150 mph in two seconds." Also, the aircraft carrier is often moving away from the landing aircraft (allowing a greater true air speed for the landing airplane.) Suppose the aircraft carrier is going 15 mph, then the 54,000 pound aircraft can land at a true airspeed of 165 mph.

What function do the wing play when an aeroplane is landing?

The wings give the aircraft 'lift' especially when it is at a slower speed such as landing


What is the best wing design for a self propelled plane?

A straight wing is good for a low-powered, slow moving aircraft. A straight, thick wing is good for short takeoff and landing aircraft, and high-speed, high-thrust aircraft need a swept wing.


What is the landing speed of an Airbus A320?

The average landing speed varies, dependent on the configuration and weight of the aircraft. Specifications call for 155 MPH, 135 Knots or 250 KPH.


Why is Vlo lower than Vle?

Vlo = Maximum landing gear operating speed (do not exceed this speed while the landing gear is operaing) Vle = Maximum landing gear extended speed (do not exceed this speed while the landing gear is extended) When the landing gear is fully retracted or fully extended it is locked into position and is more resistant to damage from high airspeeds. When the landing gear is in the process of extending or retracting (operating) there is no locking mechanism, and the only thing resisting the airflow is the extension/retraction mechanisms. Additionally, on some aircraft, the landing gear may swing or swivel in odd directions in order to tuck into their recesses, this can cause odd aerodynamic behavoir in the rest of the aircraft if done at high speeds. Once the landing gear is extended, it is rare that a pilot would then exceed Vlo. Most of the time the landing gear is lowered shortly before landing and the pilot is doing everything he can to slow the aircraft further. However in the event that an aircraft had to be flown a long distance with the landing gear extended (such as a ferry flight to a repair facility) the pilot would go ahead & fly Vle.


What would happen if a pair of F-22 jets collided on an aircraft carrier?

There is no navalised version of the F22 Raptor and it is not capable of landing on an aircraft carrier (apparently it's landing speed is to high). As such this would never happen! During the Vietnam War, crashed jets were pushed over the side.
