Primarily they throttle back to reduce thrust.
But they also usually will use the flaps, lowering the landing gear also increases drag reducing speed, and most large aircraft also have air brakes (spoilers) for reducing speed.
Small aircraft may also perform a "forward slip" maneuver. This is where the pilot will use opposite rudder & ailerons to make the aircraft fly a little side-ways. This increases the frontal area of the plane increasing drag & reducing speed.
They slow down gradually and lose height as they land
Airplanes land at airport or airstrip or any flat level land.
Birds slow down by changing the position of their wings to catch the air like a parachute.
the time is when airplanes land
yes
they were slow not as fast as todayswell they were slow airplanes
Hurricanes can slow down due to a variety of factors, such as encountering weak steering currents, interacting with other weather systems, or moving over cooler waters which can weaken the storm. Additionally, the topography of the land can also slow down a hurricane as it approaches a coastline.
Because they can go straight up and down without having to have the distance to pick up speed or slow down like airplanes. Its the way they are built.
There are no tarmac runways in Antarctica: all runways are ice. Pilots slow the airplanes down to their minimum airspeed in order to maintain lift, and essentially glide or drift slowly onto the ice runways when they land. Note as well, that some airplanes are equipped with skis instead of wheels. All airplanes are non-commercial and are military grade craft, flown by pilots experienced in landing in extraordinary situations.
Many small and special STOL aircraft can fly as slow as 40 mph.
