What else can I help you with?
Flaps position during take off?
it depends on what type of aircraft your flying, the runway length, and the weather. here are two common aircraft flap settings for standard takeoff use: Boeing 737: set flaps to 5 cessna 172: set flaps to 10 these are two common flap settings for the Boeing 737 and cessna 172. remember, different aircraft have differnet flap settings based on weather and runway length.
A plane usually extends flaps from its wings during takeoff and landing What is a reasonable explanation?
The flaps help to increase lift, which is essential to the landing and takeoff phase[s].
Which parts are used to control lift at low speed for takeoff and landing?
Flaps and slatsSlats and flaps
What advantage do flaps and stats give an airplane?
Flaps and stats increase lift for takeoff and slow you down, for landing.
Do you use flaps to land an airplane?
Yes, Flaps are both used to create lift (on takeoff) and to slow the aircraft (on Landing)
When are the flaps on an airplane most useful?
They are useful for takeoff to get lift and at landing for slowing down the plane.
What does flaps do on a plane?
Flaps are movable surfaces on the wings of an aircraft that extend and retract to increase lift during takeoff and landing. By changing the wing's shape and increasing its surface area, flaps allow the plane to fly safely at slower speeds. This helps improve control and reduces the runway distance needed for takeoff and landing. Overall, flaps enhance the aircraft's performance during critical phases of flight.
How much flaps are used for takeoff?
The amount of flaps used for takeoff varies depending on the aircraft type, weight, and specific operating conditions. Typically, pilots may set flaps between 5 to 15 degrees for takeoff to enhance lift and reduce the required runway distance. However, each aircraft has specific flap settings recommended in the operating manual, and pilots must adhere to those guidelines for optimal performance and safety.
Does a plane have to have flaps deployed on takeoff?
No. Not always. For many airplanes, it may be required if the airplane is fullly loaded.
How does plane control flaps?
The flaps are controlled on the flight deck by the pilots. there is a square shaped knob coming out next to the throttle. it reads numbers that vary depending on the aircraft. that controls the position of the flaps. but that's on Boeing, the position can change depending on weather the aircraft is smaller, like a Cessna, or larger, like Boeing aircraft.
Why do planes have flaps on the wings?
Airplane wings are designed to be most efficient when at high altitudes, traveling fast, while providing as little drag as possible. Unfortunately this design inst the best for takeoff and landing. Flaps are used to change the shape of the wing to accommodate takeoff and landing requirements. Most planes have flaps on the front of the wings (leading edge flaps) and at the back of the wings. During takeoff flaps increase lift so a plane can take off with limited runway length and lower speeds. As the plane gains speed the flaps are retracted. On approach and landing you want to fly as slow as possible so the flaps are deployed in increments till landing speed is achieved. Landing slower means less runway needed to stop.
What to set the flaps to in a Boeing 747?
10 or 20 for take off 25 or 30 for landing
