30 seconds or so, to fill up a jet fighter from a refueling tanker plane in mid air at 400mph!
There will be a refueling plane which contains only fuel. A long hose or pipe will be lowered from the refueling plane. A plane which is to be refueled will have a hole which goes to fuel tank. The pipe will be injected into the hole. The fuel will flow through the pipe. The plane gets refueled.Then the pipe or hose is drawn back.
In a large passenger liner it will usually be about an hour and quarter of flying
Depends on the plane you are flying in.
What is "normal". The only aircraft that could fly 'around the world and back' are military planes that can be refuelled while flying.
Yes, you can access the Kindle app while in airplane mode as long as you have previously downloaded the books onto your device.
Mainly for long distance travel and fuel efficiency.
Flying from Istanbul, Turkey --> Sydney, Australiawould take roughly 19hrs.
Orville wright and Wilbur Wrigt and stayed in the air for 12 seconds
At 500 mph, it would take an airplane 4 hours to fly 2000 miles.
By keepingit's fuel evenly distributed in the fuselage. Using transfer pumps to transfer fuel from one tank to another.
the airplane will fly farther. This is due to the fact that both the airplane and the hot air balloon use fuel. Also because the hot air balloon only means of movement is wind, While an airplane use jet propulsion. This allows the airplane to travel in any direction
That depends on the airplane model. There is no definitive answer to this. Most commercial airplanes take on as much fuel as they need for the journey, as it's cheaper to fly with only as much fuel as you need. When aeronautics was in its early years people with daring took on as much fuel as they could to fly over great distances with quite inefficient engines. I suppose the answer is: an airplane can hold as much fuel as the maximum take-off weight for that particular plane is. Of course, getting extra fuel tanks in there, and connecting them to the intake is huge work, and I don't think people much do long-distance flying with small planes these days, since all the records have been set, even for a non-refuel flight across the world.
