What is decalage on a bi-plane?
Decalage on a fixed wing Biplane aircraft is the angle difference between the upper and lower wings of a fixed wing Biplane aircraft, i.e. the acute angle contained between the chords of the wings in question.The decalage is said to be positive when the upper wing has a higher total angle-of incidence than the lower wing, and negative when its total angle of incidence is lower. Positive decalage results in greater lift from the upper wing than the lower wing, the difference increasing with the amount of decalage.Uncle Fudd

Why fixed wing aircraft need less power full engine to fly then a helicopter?
Helicopter 'lift' is provided by the rotor blades creating lift. A fixed wing aircraft creates lift by moving the aircraft forward to create a pressure differential between the upper and lower surfaces of the wing. Power required from the engine to a propeller to move the aircraft forward (on wheels) to gain sufficient speed is much less than lifting the 'dead' weight of a helicopter.
What is a Fixed Wing Airplane?
A fixed-wing aircraft is an aircraft which has wings that are attached to the aircraft and do not move. The term is used to differentiate airplanes from other types of flying vehicles such as lifting-body aircraft (balloons and blimps) or rotary aircraft such as helicopters and auto gyros. All airplanes are considered fixed-wing aircraft and even swing-wing or otherwise moving-wing airplanes are usually referred to as being in the fixed-wing category of aircraft.
How do you fly the aircraft?
consider an aircraft wings are to move the high speed,it will make a pressure difference in upper & lower surface of the wing so the aircraft are flying
Who were the the pilots on US aircraft shot down in Desert Storm?
Approximately 37 US fixed-wing aircraft and 23 rotor-wing aircraft were lost during DS. Approximately 15 of those fixed-wing aircraft & 18 of the rotor-wing aircraft were lost to operational causes (accidents).
The effect of positive or negative 'g' on autorotation in fixwed wing aircraft?
AUTOROTATION is only for Rotary Wing aircraft...not fixed wing
What causes an aircraft to stall?
The stalling of an aircraft wing is caused by the disruption of the airflow on the upper and lower surfaces of the wing, An airflow is travelling fast enough over a wing. A low pressure area develops on the underside of the wing and a very high pressure on the upper surface of the wing ......This is what causes lift- the force that allows the aircraft to fly. If this airflow is Broken or reaches a speed too slow to maintain the low pressure required to create the lift. The wing will stall
Is the wing being pushed upward or downward?
The wing generates lift, which propels the aircraft upward due to differences in air pressure on the upper and lower surfaces of the wing. So, the wing is being pushed upward.
How many American aircraft were lost in Vietnam War?
Approximately 2,000 fixed wing aircraft were lost; approximately 5,000 rotary-wing aircraft were lost.
What is an ejection?
Ejection is exiting a fixed or rotor-wing aircraft
How does an air foil wing create lift?
An airfoil wing creates lift by having a curved shape on its upper surface and a flatter shape on its lower surface. As the wing moves through the air, the air pressure above the wing decreases, creating lift due to the pressure difference between the upper and lower surfaces of the wing. This lift force helps to keep the aircraft airborne.
