What else can I help you with?
How can an aircraft reduce the speed in the air?
during flight aircraft reduce speed by spoiler
What is an aircraft's speed controlled by?
the speed of the engines
What is a mach number in aeroplanes?
The mach number is the speed of an aircraft, expressed as a fraction of the speed of sound in the atmospheric conditions in which the aircraft is flying. An aircraft flying at mach 1 is flying at the speed of sound.
What is the speed limit for aircraft taxiways?
This depends on whether you are looking for aircraft speed limits or motor vehicle speed limits.
How is the speed of an aircraft measured?
The speed of an aircraft is measured using an airspeed indicator, which measures the speed at which the aircraft is moving through the air. Groundspeed, on the other hand, is the speed at which the aircraft is moving over the ground and is measured using GPS technology.
What is the cruise speed of the Airbus A320 aircraft?
The cruise speed of the Airbus A320 aircraft is approximately 560 mph.
What is the cruising speed of the Airbus A321 aircraft?
The cruising speed of the Airbus A321 aircraft is approximately 560 mph.
What is flux detector unit in aircraft?
The flux detector unit senses the magnetic field of the Earth in order to determine aircraft heading.
What is groundspeed of the aircraft?
Ground speed is the speed the aircraft has compared to the ground. This is usually different from air speed, which is the aircraft's speed compared to the surrounding air. Thus an aircraft with 400 kph air speed and 50 kph headwind has a ground speed of 350 kph. For fun: with light aircraft with very low stall speeds it's possible to fly backwards (compared to the ground) if they fly into a headwind that's stronger than their lowest stall speed. I.e. their ground speed is negative.
How fast is 500 knots?
500 knots is equivalent to approximately 575 miles per hour (925 kilometers per hour). It is a commonly used unit of speed in aviation to measure the speed of aircraft.
Term used for velocity of an aircraft at the speed of sound?
When an aircraft travels at the speed of sound, it is said to be travelling at Mach 1.
How do aircraft measure their speed?
Aircraft measure two kinds of speed, air speed and speed over ground. Air speed is measured by the flow of air one way or another. Speed over ground can nowadays easily be measured by GPS. Or the Old fashioned way of checking the time it takes to pass from one land mark to another.
