What is the weight of an airplane during take off?
The total of the plane, cargo and fuel.
How do they know a commercial airplane is overweight?
The weight of an airplane is calculated by the pilots. The pilot takes the empty weight of the aircraft, adds the fuel, adds a standard weight for each passenger and the measured weight of all the baggage. If this weight is over the maximum allowed weight, the airplane is overweight and they will send some luggage on another flight.
Will an airplane be lighter when birds fly inside the airplane than sitting floor?
No, the weight of the airplane will not change when birds fly inside. The weight of the airplane is determined by factors like the total mass of the plane, fuel, cargo, and passengers - the presence of birds inside will not significantly impact this total weight.
Why don't they have parachutes for everyone on a airplane?
The changes of an airplane crashing are relatively low. On an airplane, when you add weight, extra fuel s needs to be burned to keep the extra weight flying. When you add hundreds of parachutes, the fuel burn increase is substantial on each flight which would make it very expensive for airlines to add parachutes for eveyone on an airplane.
What is the weight of airplane fuel?
Aviation gasoline (Avgas) weighs 6 lb. per gallon. Jet fuel (kerosene) weighs 6.84 lb. per gallon.
What forces act on airplane to keep it at a level altitude?
If the aircraft's altitude is constant, that means its vertical speed is zero. That indicates zero vertical component of any acceleration, which in turn implies that vertical force components are balanced. So you can say with assurance that the sum of (lift produced by the wings) PLUS (any vertical component of thrust due to a positive angle of attack) is equal to the airplane's weight (gravitational force on it).
How is math used in career of a pilot?
In many ways such as how much fuel do I need to carry to fly 300 miles. One of the most important things for a pilot to know is how much weight he has on the airplane and, since fuel is figured in weight instead of gallons on a airplane, he probably better know basic algebra and general mathmatics.
What is airplane jet fuel?
it is a type of fuel
What kind of airplane flies the farthest?
the airplane with the most fuel
What is the net force on the model airplane?
The net force on the model airplane is the vector sum of all the forces acting on it, such as lift, weight, thrust, and drag. If the net force is zero, the airplane will remain in a state of constant velocity or at rest, according to Newton's first law of motion.
What 1980 movie was largely a parody of 1957's Zero Hour?
Airplane! (with !)
How is it possible for a jet airplane carrying 110 tons of jet fuel to emit 340 tons of carbon dioxide?
When jet fuel burns, it reacts with oxygen to release carbon dioxide. The total emissions of carbon dioxide produced by burning a certain amount of jet fuel will exceed the weight of the fuel itself, as the carbon in the fuel combines with oxygen from the atmosphere. This results in the emission of more carbon dioxide than the weight of the fuel originally carried by the airplane.
