Jets have wings that give them 'lift' just like any other aircraft, this keeps them in the air.

Can a jet airliner stand still in mid air?

No. Aircraft need an air stream passing over the wings to maintain lift for it to stay up. The only aircraft of a jet type that could do this was the Harrrier Jump Jet which could turn its engines through 90 degrees to basically hover.


How many aircrafts does Jet Airways have?

As of September 2011, Jet Airways, based in India, had 91 aircraft registered in their fleet. These numbers often change as airlines add and subtract old and new aircraft. A good source for up to date data is the air fleets web site.


How does the sun stay up in the air?

It stays up in the air because its in space-where there's no gravity whatsoever. so, it stays up as there is no gravity to pull it down.


Describe how an airplane stays in the air?

This is interesting: The engines produce forward thrust, which in turn makes the aircraft go forward. The wings are airfoil-shaped, so, when the aircraft moves forward they push air downward, which in turn pushes the aircraft upwards.


Does plane reverse?

Many propeller airplanes have variable pitch propellers, these can be set to a reverse pitch which allows the aircraft to back up on the ground and can also be used to help an aircraft slow down once it has landed on the runway. On a jet there is reverse thrust, which is a deflector(s) which when engaged forces the jet thrust forward past the outside of the jet engine. This also allows a jet to back up on the ground and can be used to slow down a jet once it has landed.


How high does the airbus a380 fly?

Up to 41,000 feet, like most other large jet aircraft.


How do engines make aeroplanes rise up in the air?

Engines power the aircraft forward so the wings gain lift to raise the aircraft into the air.


How much does it cost to rent a private jet?

Typically the cost varies on several factors including: number of passengers, aircraft size, trip distance, length of stay, and aircraft availability.Of course, the longer the trip and larger the aircraft will increase the overall cost of charter, as do larger airports and services required for fuel. As Private Jet Advisors, we often try to use an airport nearby to a major airport to help keep the cost down.Despite these variables, the typical costs for different types of private jet aircraft can be calculated based on an hourly basis, (which is referred to an estimate, or soft quote). The average hourly rates for some aircraft are shown below.To get the most up to date, hard quote with all factors contributed, please email, call, or request a quote online.Average Hourly Rental Prices⇒ Helicopter $900/hr up to $5,000/hr ⇒ Prop $600/hr up to $1,000/hr⇒ Jet Prop $1,200/hr up to $1,700/hr⇒ Very Light Jet $1,900/hr up to $2,300/hr⇒ Light Jet $2,200/hr up to $2,800/hr⇒ Mid Jet $2,900/hr up to $3,300/hr⇒ Super Mid Jet $3,800/hr up to $4,400/hr⇒ Heavy Jet $5,000/hr up to $8,000/hr⇒ Regional Business Jet $8,000/hr up to $12,000/hr⇒ Big Business Jet $10,000/hr up to $23,000/hrExample of Actual Private Jet Charter PricingFlights can be a one-way, round trip, or multi-leg trip. - For one-way flights, the private jet takes you to your destination and then returns to its home base empty. This serves as an inefficient and expensive way to charter because you are stuck paying for the jet to return empty when you aren't flying on it.- For round trip flights, you only pay for the jet when it is actually operating. However, there are overnight fees for both the crew and the airplane to sit. These fees are increased for international overnights. Sometimes, if the stay is long enough, FlightOn Jet will use two one way flights to help offset the higher cost of overnight fees.- For multi-leg trips, the private jet stays with you as long as you need. If there are several day stays at one destination, it is possible to utilize multiple one ways to help with costs.
