How does the nose affect an airplane?
It affects drag and supersonic flight characteristics, which is why supersonic aircraft generally have long noses.
Does the shape of a airplane wing affect the flight?
Yes the shape of an airplane wing will affect the flight. Angles and shapes will always be a huge factor.
What are the four forces that act on an airplane in flight?
Lift, weight, thrust and drag.
Does the mass of an airplane affect its flight?
Yes.
How does stream affect an airplane's flight?
it will do something
Basic elements of an airplane flight?
I think you might be referring to the four forces of flight. LIFT -- force provided by the wing and in perpendicular direction to the wing. In straight and level flight the lift is exactly equal to the aircraft weight. WEIGHT -- the force pulling vertically down on the airplane due to gravity. In straight and level flight this is equal to the lift. THRUST -- the force that pulls the airplane forward, provided by the propeller or jet engine. If the airplane is flying at a constant speed in level flight, this thrust is exactly equal to the drag. DRAG -- the aerodynamic force on the airplane in the opposite direction of its travel. Drag is due to skin friction, form drag (drag around wheels, struts, etc) and induced drag (produced by the wing as a side effect of lift)
What is the relationship of lift drag thrust and weight when the airplane is in straight-and-level flight?
Lift equals weight and thrust equals drag.
What are the forces involved in airplane flight?
The main forces involved in airplane flight are lift, weight, thrust, and drag. Lift is generated by the wings and opposes weight, keeping the airplane airborne. Thrust, usually provided by engines, overcomes drag, the resistance of the air on the airplane's forward motion. These forces work together to keep the airplane flying and maneuvering in the air.
Does the wing size affect the flight of a airplane?
yes yes
Is an airplane external force?
Yes, an airplane is subject to external forces such as lift, weight, thrust, and drag while flying. These external forces are crucial for the airplane to maintain its flight.
How does the drag affect the forward motion of the airplane?
Drag is a force that acts in the opposite direction of the airplane's motion, creating resistance and slowing down the aircraft. This requires the engines to work harder to maintain forward motion, resulting in increased fuel consumption and reduced speed. Pilots and aircraft designers must account for drag to optimize performance and efficiency during flight.
How does the shape of an airplane's fuselage affect its flight?
An airplane's fuselage affects it flight by a lot. It can change its speed, maneuverability, angle of attack, and even its necessary-for-flight wing size.
