Why did some early planes have movable wings?
probably because people wanted to try to find an eaiser way to fly a plane but that made it worse because the wings weren't as strong.
Why are the wings of some planes bent up at the tips?
These are called winglets. They reduce drag therefore increase lift.
Why cant planes be like helicopters?
there are some planes designed so that the wings are made of propellor blades so that it rises straight up of the ground, but the differemce is that its still called a plane, not a helicopter
Where is the gas tank on an airplane?

They had very papery wings,like see through.But for some reason could not fly.Do you know why?
Are amphibians necks moveable?
To some limited degree.
Why do passenger planes have different types of wings?
Passenger planes have different types of wings to cater to their specific flying requirements. Some wings, such as swept wings, provide better fuel efficiency and higher speeds, making them suitable for long-haul flights. Other wings, like high-lift wings, enable shorter takeoff and landing distances, making them ideal for small airports or regions with limited infrastructure. The choice of wing design depends on factors such as the aircraft's intended use, operating conditions, and performance objectives.
Why do some planes have wings above the fuselage?
Planes with wings above the fuselage, known as high-wing configurations, benefit from improved stability and visibility for pilots and passengers. This design allows for better lift distribution and can enhance ground clearance, especially for operations in rough terrain or when carrying cargo. Additionally, high-wing planes often have a lower risk of wingtip stall and can provide more efficient aerodynamics in certain flight conditions.
How were jet planes used in World War 2?
As fighters mostly; no jets clashed in WWII, that came in Korea five years later. Britain did use some jets to "tip the wings" of some V1 buzz bombs over England, causing them to lose course and crash harmlessly. V1s were early relatives of todays UAVs.
Why did planes not work in ww1?
Answer The ones you never hear about. Most early airplanes had some flaw or problem with the engine or construction that was a problem. But the planes that did not work at all or were had poor performance did not go into production.
What joints in your knees and elbows are moveable?
A healthy knee is a highly moveable joint. It has the capacity to move forward some, back a lot, and also side to side.
