What else can I help you with?
Is the front wheel on the nose gear fixed or does it steer with the rudder?
The front wheel on the nose gear of most commercial aircraft is typically fixed and does not steer with the rudder. Instead, steering is achieved through the use of the nose wheel, which can pivot left or right, usually controlled by the pilot using the rudder pedals. Some smaller aircraft or certain models may have nose gear that can be steered with the rudder pedals or have additional steering mechanisms, but this is not the norm for larger commercial planes.
What are the advantages of a tail wheel versus a nose wheel on an airplane?
A nose wheel (or tricycle) undercarriage aircraft has the advantage of easier, more stable takeoffs and landings, as well as control on the ground. A tail dragger has better short takeoff and landing characteristics as the wing incidence is higher, but with added difficulty when taxiing and the possibility of ground looping (aircraft pirouettes around one of the main wheels) Aircraft with retractible landing gear benefit from the lighter weight of tailwheel aircraft, plus added simplicity.
What would happen if you deployed flaps during flight?
The aircraft would nose-dive ! The flaps are used during flight to help the plane gain or lose height in conjunction with the engines.
Where Nose wheel guide line cone placement should begin at the taxiway centerline from the aircraft hold position?
5 feet
What is the actual diameter of a aircraft nose wheel?
It depends on the actual aircraft it's on. A Cessna's nosewheel is about the size of a wheelbarrow tire; a C-17's nosewheel is bigger than a truck tire.
What are elevators function on a plane?
verticle... they make it climp and descend...on the back of an aircraft around the rudder (horizantal movement of nose wheel whentaxiing)
How heavy is the nose wheel of Airbus a380?
The nose wheel of the Airbus A380 weighs approximately 1,600 pounds (about 725 kilograms). This weight is part of the aircraft's overall landing gear system, which is designed to support the massive weight of the A380 during takeoff and landing. The landing gear, including the nose wheel, is engineered to withstand significant forces and stresses during operations.
How often should the nose wheel torque links be lubricated on a Cessna 182 aircraft?
The torque links on a Cessna 182 aircraft should be greased every fifty hours of flight as per the Airframe Maintenance Manual.
What is launch-bridal arrester?
It's a shock absorbing mechanism used on Navy aircraft carriers to catch the launch bridal attached to the underside of Navy aircraft. It connected the aircraft with the catapult shuttle. The Navy now uses a T-bar connected to the nose wheel.
What is the front part of an aircraft?
The nose
How can you slow a plane down?
there are a couple of ways to slow a plane down. the first is to throttle down, this will help decrease speed. the second is pitch, if you increase the pitch, or raise the nose, you can decrease speed too. most aircraft have a pitch control wheel that raises or lowers the pitch (Nose) of the aircraft. By raising the pitch alittle and throttling down, you will slow the aircraft down really quick.
Where does the pilot of an aircraft sit?
In the cockpit of the aircraft. Typically near the nose of the craft.
