To fly in the lower atmosphere requires a jet engine, but to fly in the upper atmosphere and outer space requires the vehicle to have rocket fuel and a speciallly designed rocket engine.

What would happen if a airplane was on the moon?

Nothing, an Aeroplane require air flowing across the Airfoil Wing to create lift, as there is no air on the moon, there could be no flight. Almost everything about conventional Aeroplanes require air to function. Propeller driven aircraft require air for their engines and the propeller itself could provide no thrust with out to push against. Jet Engines also require air for the combustion process. Though Rocket Engine Aeroplanes would ignite and provide thrust, without air for the wings, they would simply be really fast ground vehicles.


What is the same between aircraft and spacecraft?

Aircraft and spacecraft both operate in the atmosphere, but spacecraft are designed to travel in outer space beyond Earth's atmosphere. They both rely on aerodynamics for flight, but spacecraft must also account for the lack of air resistance in space. Additionally, both vehicles require advanced engineering and technology for navigation, control, and safety.


What are the stages of rocket flight?

The stages of rocket flight include liftoff (launch), ascent (climbing into space), orbital insertion (reaching desired orbit), payload deployment (releasing satellites or spacecraft), and reentry (returning to Earth's atmosphere). Each stage involves specific maneuvers and actions to achieve the rocket's objectives.


Letters that stand for the organization that conducts research into problems of flight within and beyond earth's atmosphere?

NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) is the organization that conducts research into problems of flight within and beyond Earth's atmosphere.


What is the time called in which the space craft leaves the launch pad?

The time when a spacecraft leaves the launch pad is called "lift-off." This marks the moment the rocket engines ignite and the vehicle begins its ascent into the atmosphere. Lift-off is a critical phase in a launch, as it signifies the transition from ground operations to flight.

What statements are true about airplane and rocket flight?

Both airplanes and rockets rely on the principles of aerodynamics and propulsion to achieve flight, but they operate in different environments. Airplanes fly within the Earth's atmosphere, using wings to generate lift and engines to provide thrust, while rockets operate both in the atmosphere and in space, relying on Newton's third law of motion for thrust. Unlike airplanes, rockets do not require air to generate lift and can travel at much higher speeds, making them essential for reaching outer space. Additionally, airplanes typically require runways for takeoff and landing, whereas rockets launch vertically and can land on various surfaces or return to Earth through controlled descent.


What statements describes a difference between the mechanics of airplane flight and rocket flight?

Airplane flight relies on the principles of aerodynamic lift generated by wings interacting with air, utilizing engines that draw in atmospheric oxygen for combustion. In contrast, rocket flight operates on the principle of thrust produced by expelling propellant at high speeds, functioning effectively in a vacuum where there is no air. While airplanes are dependent on atmospheric conditions for both lift and propulsion, rockets can achieve flight beyond Earth's atmosphere, making them suitable for space travel.


What are the forces of flight?

The four forces that act on an airplane in Flight are Lift (upward generated by the wings), weight (Down generated by gravity, Thrust (forward generated by the engines), and drag (essentially backward generated by the resistance of the aircraft to the atmosphere).

What helps an airplane achieve flight by causing the airplane to move faster through the air?

Thrust generated by the airplane's engines helps it achieve flight by propelling it forward and increasing its speed through the air. This increased speed allows the wings to generate lift, which raises the airplane off the ground.


Who was the second person to achieve flight?

Nobody knows for sure who was even the FIRST to achieve flight.

To board a flight you will require a?

You will require a passport for an international flight, and some form of official government identification (with a photograph) for any type of flight.


Can an airplane work without atmosphere?

In short, no.The longer answer is that flight for an airplane works by using various properties of the atmosphere, which is essentially different layers of air, such as:Air densityAir flowAir pressureThe other thing to think of, is that the engines that make airplanes fly all need to burn some kind of fuel, which requires the Oxygen in the atmosphere.So without all these properties of our atmosphere, planes will just sit there, unable to even start their engines.
