yes new planes of today have systems that tell if there is another plane in the air called a transponder which allows air port towers track planes and military have a system that warns of other planes that are not american.

the older planes like in World War 1 you need a rear machinegunner or good eye sight.

What principal state how airplanes stay atfloat?

Most books and science resources say it's because of Bernoulli's principle. That is incorrect. The correct answer is Newton's 3rd law of motion, with help from the Coanda effect. The Coanda effect is most easily explained by running some water onto the back of a spoon. If you try that, you will see that the water does not simply run off the spoon in its original path, but will follow the way the spoon curves. An airplane wing is just like the back of a spoon. As the wing moves through the air, the air above the wing has to travel along a curved path, going up, across, and down while moving back. As the air leaves the wing, it is moving downwards (partially). Since the air was initially just moving across the wing, a downwards force is exerted on the air by the wing. Newton's 3rd law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. For the wing, this means that the air is also pushing the wing up. Since the wing is attached to the airplane, the airplane is pushed up. You should notice that if the airplane is not travelling fast enough, then it will not fly. This is because even of the air is moving downwards, there is not enough of it to overcome the airplane's weight. Once enough air, larger than the equivalent of the airplane's weight, is pushed down, then the airplane can fly.


Can you see fireworks from an airplane?

Yes, it is possible to see fireworks from an airplane, especially if the fireworks are large and the airplane is flying at a lower altitude. However, the view may be limited depending on the distance and angle from which the fireworks are being launched.


Why do airplanes give out white smoke while in flight?

When you see a white trail behind an airplane, that is what is known as a contrail, short for condensation trail, and it is composed of water vapor, not smoke. This condensation happens because the hot exhaust of the plane's engine meets the colder surrounding air and the mixture of cold and hot air is a sort of miniature weather front.
