Steam engines are too heavy to power aircraft.
An aircraft designer of today would likely find the idea of using a steak engine to power an airplane completely impractical and unfeasible. Steak is a food product and not a viable energy source for powering aircraft. Aircraft require highly efficient and reliable propulsion systems such as jet engines or electric motors to generate the necessary thrust for flight. The use of a steak engine would not meet the stringent performance, safety, and sustainability requirements of modern aviation.
An aircraft designer today would likely view the idea of using a steam engine to power an airplane as impractical and outdated. Modern aviation relies on engines that provide high power-to-weight ratios and efficiency, features that steam engines struggle to achieve due to their bulk and weight. Additionally, advancements in materials and aerodynamics have led to designs optimized for jet or turboprop engines, making steam technology less viable for contemporary aircraft. Overall, while steam engines played a significant role in early aviation, they are not aligned with today's performance and efficiency standards.
They would think it's good because people who drive airplanes use it to generate the plane. +++ Allegedly, 6 people found that rhubarb "useful"..... I hope they were not plagiarists! I cannot imagine why a modern aircraft designer would think of using a steam engine to power an aeroplane, because the power/weight ratio is far poorer than that of an equivalently-powerful internal-combustion (inc. gas-turbine) engine, and the overall system is more complicated.
The weight of an airplane engine can vary significantly depending on the type and size of the aircraft. A small general aviation engine might weigh around 200 to 400 pounds (90 to 180 kg), while larger jet engines used in commercial aircraft can weigh several thousand pounds, often ranging from 3,000 to 15,000 pounds (1,400 to 6,800 kg) or more. For instance, a typical turbofan engine for a large airliner can weigh between 5,000 and 10,000 pounds (2,300 to 4,500 kg).
The airplane can mailfunction its engine and you will crash and about 100ft to the ground and die like a toothpick in half.Easy as that.But hey there might be a miracle.
Simply put, the minimum speed for all aircraft is Vs, the speed below which the wings cannot produce sufficient lift for level flight. You can further refine the answer by discussing Vmcg and Vmca which relate to multi-engine aircraft. These are the minimum controllable speeds on the ground and in the air (respectively) with an engine out and the other engines at maximum power. As for average speed, I'm not sure what you're after here, but one might say that the "average" speed of an aircraft would be the best speed at which it cruises. Cruise speeds are a function not only of aerodynamics, but of cost efficiencies as well and are determined by each operator according to its needs.
You can get a job as an aeronautical engineer or as an aeronautical designer with a bachelor's degree in professional aeronautics. You might also be able to manage an aircraft fleet.
A car designer might work with a car manufacturing facility or with an engineer. A car designer might also work with a marketing firm.
Well, first off, if the engine stalls in a small airplane, the airplane can still glide, and pilots are taught to respond immediately to an engine failure by troubleshooting what might be wrong, going through a checklist, and then preparing for an emergency landing. ("Stall", by the way, refers to the wings of the airplane, not the engine... but that's a whole 'nother question.) In any case, pilots of the vast majority of small aircraft don't wear parachutes (except when doing aerobatics). The primary reason you'd want to leave an airplane in an emergency is because the airframe is damaged and the airplane is uncontrollable--which is an exceedingly, exceedingly rare occurrence, although for this reason, pilots performing aerobatics are indeed required to wear parachutes, in case they exceed the limits of the airplane's structure to the point where it's damaged and unflyable. It's pretty darn hard to do. But if she were to parachute out in this case, she'd land on whatever she happened to be over when she jumped. DCE
A fashion designer might work with an assistant or help out other fashion designers.
The first airplane flight was that of the Wright Brothers at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, on December 17, 1903. History did not record whether a newspaper was taken on any flight, but it is highly unlikely, even if it was kept under their coats, as it might have flown out and damaged the aircraft or otherwise distracted the pilot (n.b., Wilbur and Orville took turns flying their aircraft).
No. they are two different engine types. A car engine might be used to propel a small airplane with a prop if you could solve cooling issues and keep the carburetor from icing but a jet engine is totally and completely different.
