An airplane takes off by accelerating in forward velocity until the lift being generated by the wings becomes greater than the mass of the aircraft, and overcomes gravity. Then the pilot usually brings the nose of the aircraft up slightly, increasing the "angle of attack". This means that by changing the angle of the wing as it moves through the air it generates even greater lift, allowing the airplane to climb at a faster rate. However the airplane must have sufficient forward velocity or the airplane will stall. This means that changing the angle of the wing in the forward direction does generate more lift, but also more resistance to the air, thereby increasing the likelihood that it will stall. As airspeed drops, lift drops, and the airplane will drop back to earth.
What else can I help you with?
How do elevators affect takeoff?
Elevators help your takeoff by raising the tail of the aircraft and putting the whole aircraft in 'flight' attitude.
What is V1 in an airplane?
"V1" is the speed at which the flight crew must either continue with the takeoff or abort the takeoff. It is the last point at which aborting is an option.
Which best describes the flight conditions under which flight crewmembers are specifically required to keep their safety belts and shoulder harnesses fastened?
Safety belts during takeoff and landing and while en route; shoulder harnesses during takeoff and landing.
What are the elements of long jump?
The long jump consists of four key elements: approach run, takeoff, flight, and landing. The athlete must generate speed during the approach run, execute a powerful takeoff from the takeoff board, maximize distance during the flight phase using proper technique, and land securely in the sand pit to complete the jump.
How is the helicopter different from other flying machines?
Helicopters can land and takeoff vertically and also hover in flight. Winged aircraft can not do these things.
Why is takeoff the most strenuous part of a bird's flight?
Takeoff is the most strenuous part of a bird's flight because it requires a significant amount of energy to achieve the necessary lift. Birds must overcome their own weight and generate enough thrust to ascend into the air, which often involves rapid wingbeats and increased muscle exertion. Additionally, during takeoff, birds must coordinate their movements precisely to ensure stability and control, making it a physically demanding phase of flight.
Why do they have arrival screens in departure terminals?
The aircraft arriving are needed form the departure for another flight. That helps passengers gauge how long it will be before their flight might takeoff.
What is a person called who controls the flight of a plane from takeoff to touchdown including taxiing?
Onboard its a pilot. Else its airtraffic control
Is takeoff spelled with a hyphen?
No. It is one, nonhyphenated noun. It refers to aircraft beginning flight, or metaphorically the beginning of a venture or startup. If used as a noun adjunct (takeoff speed), it never means the process of taking something off.
Why do airlines require passengers to keep their windows open during takeoff?
Airlines require passengers to keep their windows open during takeoff for safety reasons. This allows flight attendants and passengers to see outside in case of an emergency evacuation, and helps maintain situational awareness during critical phases of flight.
How much will a flight to Paris cost?
It depends on where you will takeoff, how many people there are etc so you can check on some websites such as www.expedia.com to find out.
Can I take a portable CD player on an airplane?
Yes, with ear buds. You cannot play it during takeoff or landing, but in flight is OK.
