It is a technology that takes time to be built.

Older aircraft are very difficult to modify due to safety rules and insane cost levels.

These two things make sure not every airplane looks the same.

How were Cannons fitted to World War 2 aircraft?

It depends on what you classify as 'cannons' . Many aircraft were fitted with 20mm guns in exactly the same way as machine guns were. Some aircraft such as the Stuka, some other German aircraft and a few British aircraft were fitted with larger guns of 37- 40-mm calibre and these were often carried in pods under the wings and had very limited ammunition due to it's weight.


What is a vortex of a water tornado?

A vortex generator is an aerodynamic surface, consisting of a small vane that creates a vortex. Some surfaces on an airplane can result in air flow separating from the surface or skin. A vortex generator creates a tip vortex which draws energetic, rapidly-moving air from outside the slow-moving boundary layer into contact with the aircraft skin. This keeps the flow close to the aircraft surfaces. Vortex generators delay flow separation and aerodynamic stalling; they improve the effectiveness of control surfaces. You may see vortex generators as a row of small vanes that are mounted in a row along a tail surface.


Is a vortex like a tornado?

A tornado is a kind of vortex so yes, in some ways.


What are some other common names for signal generators?

There are a number of alternative names that are commonly used for signal generators. They are often referred to as pitch generators, function generators, and arbitrary waveform generators, for example.


Does a model tornado have a vortex?

Yes. Virtually all means of modeling tornadoes produce a vortex through some means.


Why do some aeroplanes have a bend at the end of the wing?

The small "winglet" at the tips of the wings increases the lift by forcing a vortex to remain at the wingtip. An airplane wing forces air downward. At the same time, air from below the wing leaks around the wingtip and moves to the top, and a rotating "vortex" appears at the wingtip. Sometimes the location of this "leakage" process moves away from the wing tip, and the vortex migrates inboard along the wing toward the fuselage. The vortex then extends from the middle of the wing and not from the tip. When this occurs, negative lift is produced by the part of the wing outside the vortex location. The function of the small winglet is to increase lift by forcing the vortex back to the wingtip. to improve lift at the tip of the wing by redirecting and smoothing airflow - otherwise some wings at the tip have practically no lift, or in other words are nearly stalled - although its easy to see the large upwards pointing winglets on larger aircraft, some smaller aircraft (usually ones with high wings) also have a smaller version that is a slightly down curved wing tip that does the same thing Some aircraft have small winglets at the tip of the wings. This improves the lift of the wing. As the airflow passes over the wing, the flow on top of the wing has to travel a longer distance, so it speeds up and thus reducing pressure. This reduction in pressure on Top of the wing and the increase in pressure of the air flowing along Bottom of the wing produces the lift. However, the airflow wants to travel the path of least resistance. So, it tends to move Outboard away from the fuselage and toward the tip of the wing. The airflow at the tip slides off the end of the wing and produces a Vortex. This vortex can sometimes be seen under certain atmospheric conditions as vapor trails or contrails. This vortex is a lost Lift. The winglets reduce this vortex greatly and thus prevents lost lift.


Do schools have generators?

Some do some don't.


How winglets work in aircraft?

The wingtip vortex, which rotates around from below the wing, strikes the cambered surface of the winglet, generating a force that angles inward and slightly forward,. The winglet converts some of the wasted energy in the wingtip vortex to an apparent thrust.Another potential benefit of winglets is that they reduce the strength of wingtip vortices.For more details visit: www.phoenixaerotech.comor mail me at: dinesh@phoenixaerotech.com


How do you use vortex in a sentence?

A vortex is a whirling, spiralling mass, whether liquid, gas or flames. Example of sentences would be:When you swirl your hand around and around in water, it creates a vortex.Within the huge tornado was a vortex of dust and debris.

Where are water generators sold?

There are many water generators sold at reputable websites across the internet. Water generators are costly and rarely sold at common stores. Water generators can also be found at some home improvement store.
