What are two different ways to change drag on an airplane and how would the airplane respond to that?
Flaps would increase drag increasing your speed will increase it even more
Will speeding up decrease the drag force on an airplane?
In general (special exceptions may apply) increase speed = increase drag.
What does an airplane use in movement?
It will use its engine power to increase thrust and to decrease drag.
What adding external protrusions to a wing?
increase drag and the amount of thrust needed to move the airplane
What are the purposes of the slats and flaps of an airplane's wings?
Slats and flaps increase drag and also increaselift. The increase in drag slows the aircraft down, and the increase in lift lowers the stall speed, which slows the landing speed of the aircraft.
How do you change of speed of a toy airplane?
Increase in motor size with a propeller change, reducing drag on the plane
What is it called when an aircraft is landing and it keeps alike 'floating' above the Runway before touching down?
An airplane begins its "Flare" once it enters "ground effect. Ground effect is what causes the airplane to float because of an increase in lift(what makes an airplane fly). This increase is caused by induced drag, created by the production of lift.
Induced drag in airplane is reduced by?
winglet
Is it possible to attach a wind turbine to an airplane to increase efficiency?
No. The amount of energy gained will be less than spent by the aircraft to overcome the drag created by your turbine.
adding external protrusions to a wing (such as fuel pods, water tanks, and missiles) would?
Increase drag and the amount of thrust needed to move the airplane (Apex)
How does the drag affect the forward motion of the airplane?
Drag slows the forward movement of aircraft.
What is drag for an airplane?
Drag is a force that acts opposite to the direction of movement of an airplane. Drag is mainly caused by air. The other forces that act on the plane while moving in the air are thrust, lift etc..
