The short answer is that aircraft performance (take off/landing distance, climb capability, engine power ...) depends on air temperature.

What is Stable air?

Air in which static instability exists. This condition is determined by the vertical gradients of air temperature and humidity.


What is outside air temperature in an aircraft?

There are two types of air temperature measurements on aircraft, Ram Air Temperature and Static Air Temperature. (slower aircraft don't normally have RAT gages) Ram Air Temperature, sometimes known as Total Air Temperature, is the air temperature outside the aircraft increased by the heat resulting from the compressibility of the air. The faster the aircraft, the more the rise in the temperature. Static Air Temperature, also known as Outside Air Temperature, is a temperature reading corrected for the compressibility rise to give a true outside air temperature which is used in all sorts of calculations relating to engine performance, aircraft speed, etc.


Are navy pilots and Air Force pilots military pilots?

Yes, navy pilots and air force pilots are military pilots.


Why must hot air balloon pilots do occasional blasts on the burner?

Hot air balloon pilots do occasional blasts on the burner to maintain the desired altitude. By releasing short bursts of hot air, pilots can control the temperature inside the balloon and regulate its altitude to ensure a safe and stable flight.


How temperature affect the speed of sound?

The speed of sound in air changes clearly with temperature, a little bit with humidity − but not with air pressure (atmospheric pressure).Statement: The static air pressure p_ and the density ρ of air (air density) are proportional at the same temperature, because the ratio p_ / ρ is always constant, on a high mountain or even on sea level altitude.Notice: The ratio p_ / ρ (static air pressure to air density) is really always constant.


Can girls become air force pilots?

Yes, girls can become, and are air force pilots.


Did Soviet pilots fly for the N Vietnamese air force and engage US pilots in air to air combat?

It isn't known for certain, however the Soviets did supply the planes and provided training to VC air forces. Some US pilots did contend the air-to-air techniques and precision were indicative of Soviet pilots.

Is the temperature field map a static or dynamic field?

The temperature field map is typically a static field since it represents a snapshot of temperature distribution at a specific point in time. However, the temperature field can be dynamic if it changes over time due to factors such as heating, cooling, or air circulation.


Can you get static elecricty from the air?

Technically you can not get static electricity from the air. But, static electricity does depend on the air. during the winter, there is more of a chance you will be shocked.


What was the significance of the Mariana Turkey Shoot during World War 2?

It was the single largest air battle of the war between the Japanese and the American air services. It also decimated the last of the veteran pilots of the Japanese air service. After that they didn't have any sizeable number of veteran pilots to train the new pilots. After the Mariana Turkey shoot the Kamakazi became prevalent as it required very little training.


How does temperature affect an air traffic controllers operations?

The barometric pressure is what pilots use to gauge their altitude, however, all pilots above flight level 180 use 29.92. Barometric pressure is related to temperature changes, especially in higher altitude and mountainous areas.


What conditions are required for it to sleet?

ground temperature below freezing, and air temperature slightly above freezing.
