When a plane lands on a boat what brings the the plane down on the boat?
They use Arrestor Cables to catch the landing gear and slow the plane down.
What are the forces of a plane slowing down to land?
The main forces that slow down a plane during landing are drag, which is the air resistance that opposes the plane's motion, and friction between the landing gear and the runway. By reducing engine thrust and adjusting flaps and spoilers, the pilot can control these forces to safely decelerate the plane for landing.
How do you land a plane in just cause 2?
You start to slow down & get close to the ground then your landing gear comes out then you can land
How do plane land?
Without adequate thrust to provide forward motion and lift, an airplane will descend. Thus, the method of the descent is simply to slow down the engine. With the engine idling, the plane's only alternative is continued descent to the earth. Once near the earth, the pilot lowers the landing gear. Then he/she flairs the plane, bringing up its nose, raising the coefficient of lift and enabling the plane to continue its descent at a slower rate. With the help of ground effect (the air forced between the bottom of the wing and the surface of the earth) the descent is further slowed until the main landing gears contact the landing surface... optimally, a runway; or if a water landing, an unobstructed stretch of water of adequate depth.
Why more lift is required when landing?
During landing, the purpose is to slow down the aircraft's ground speed as slow as you can without it stalling. You want to maintain Lift, not necessarily get more lift. At higher speeds, the aircraft has plenty of Lift. However during landing, the speed is slower and the angle of attack is increased to provide more Lift at lower speeds.
How do you slow down the plane on the wii sports resort?
You can't slow down the plane but you can cut the engine by pushing c on the nunchuck and b on the wii remote.
Do commercial jetliners put the engine in reverse upon landing?
No. Jet engines, by nature of their design, do not have a reverse function. To slow down, the pilot opens the flaps, reduces engine power, and deploys the airbrake.

Can a passenger aircraft stand still in air if there is no clearance for landing?
Airplanes fly because of lift generated by air passing by the wings. If the plane stopped, there would be no lift and the plane would simply fall out of the sky (except for specialized military jets like the Harrier, which have a special nozzle that can be directed downward). Even slowing down too much will have the same effect. The pilotmust maintain a minimum speed, known as the stall speed, to keep the plane flying. There is nothing to be nervous about. It is perfectly normal for the pilot to reduce engine power during landing. Aircraft cannot safely land at cruising speed. They must slow down to a safe speed. The pilot will also deploy the aircraft's flaps. These are panels on the wings that extend outward and increase aerodynamic drag, which also slows down the aircraft. The deployment of the flaps sometimes gives the sensation that the plane is slowing down dramatically and almost coming to a stop.
How far from an airport should aircraft wheels be down?
The wheels along with the system is called Landing Gear. The Landing Gear can be retracted soon after take-off. Stationary landing gears slow the aircraft down.
Can passenger planes go reverse?
A jet plane has "thrust reversers" which effectively fold the jet engine's thrust around to the front, and these are used at landing to slow the plane down quickly. They are not used, as far as I know, to push the plane backwards from a standing stop; I suspect they are not efficient enough to do that. Jet planes are usually "pushed back" from the gate by specially designed trucks. Propeller planes similarly have a mechanism for turning the propeller blades backward, to slow them down on landing; so I believe they can generally roll themselves backwards on the ground if required. Neither type of plane can fly backwards; the aerodynamics would be all wrong.
What happened to Air France Flight 447 and why did it crash?
The Pitot tube iced up which resulted in auto pilot putting the plane into a dive to regain airspeed. The pilot can feel that he has speed and shuts off the auto pilot, then pulls back on the yoke to slow the plane and stalls the plane sending it into a flat spin from which there is no recovery with limited gauges.
