What else can I help you with?
Why don't they have parachutes for everyone on a airplane?
The changes of an airplane crashing are relatively low. On an airplane, when you add weight, extra fuel s needs to be burned to keep the extra weight flying. When you add hundreds of parachutes, the fuel burn increase is substantial on each flight which would make it very expensive for airlines to add parachutes for eveyone on an airplane.
What are the four forces that act on an airplane in flight?
Lift, weight, thrust and drag.
Does the design of paper airplane effect its flight?
yes beacose it adds weight to the plain
Does an airplane have a horn?
Some aircraft do have a counter-weight on their flight controls that are referred to as a "horn".
How do they know a commercial airplane is overweight?
The weight of an airplane is calculated by the pilots. The pilot takes the empty weight of the aircraft, adds the fuel, adds a standard weight for each passenger and the measured weight of all the baggage. If this weight is over the maximum allowed weight, the airplane is overweight and they will send some luggage on another flight.
Is an airplane external force?
Yes, an airplane is subject to external forces such as lift, weight, thrust, and drag while flying. These external forces are crucial for the airplane to maintain its flight.
What statement is true about an airplane during flight?
During flight, an airplane is subject to four primary forces: lift, weight, thrust, and drag. Lift, generated by the wings, opposes the weight of the airplane, while thrust produced by the engines counters drag, which resists forward motion. For stable flight, these forces must be balanced appropriately, allowing the aircraft to maintain altitude and speed. Additionally, the design and aerodynamics of the airplane play a crucial role in its flight efficiency and performance.
What is the relationship of lift drag thrust and weight when the airplane is in straight-and-level flight?
Lift equals weight and thrust equals drag.
What are the 4 aerodynamic forces of flight?
the four forces of flight are lift,drag,weight/gravity and thrust.I have no clue how to describe them.........i hope that helps!
What are the forces involved in airplane flight?
The main forces involved in airplane flight are lift, weight, thrust, and drag. Lift is generated by the wings and opposes weight, keeping the airplane airborne. Thrust, usually provided by engines, overcomes drag, the resistance of the air on the airplane's forward motion. These forces work together to keep the airplane flying and maneuvering in the air.
In order for an airplane to remain in level steady flight what must happen to the four forces?
In level steady flight, lift force equals weight, and thrust force equals drag force. This balance of forces keeps the airplane in level flight without ascending or descending.
What are the forces on an airplane landing?
The forces acting on an aircraft during any phase of flight: thrust, drag, lift, and weight.
