What is an airplane radar?
Radar on an airplane is used to detect and avoid severe weather, namely thunderstorms.it is also used to detect enemy or friendly air crafts surrounding the area of flight.It keeps an aircraft present on other aircraft radars and also on the ground radars. Transport aircraft do NOT detect other aircrafts. It MAY on military airplanes but again NOT on transport aircraft.
What is a f-18?
US Military fighter aircraft
What is the difference between a aircraft and a satellite?
A satellite is generally something that orbits another, such as the moon, and an aircraft is, for the most part, used in the lower parts of the atmosphere, and usually contain one or more passengers.
Why does an airplane have to have a pointing nose?
An airplane doesnt HAVE to have a pointy nose. But aircraft designers are constantly looking for ways to reduce aerodynamic drag, and so aircraft are designed to be as streamlined as possible. Indeed many older aircraft dont have a pointy nose at all. Look up the Boeing stearman, the P-47 thunderbolt or the "super guppy" for examples.
What is GDMSS?
It is the registration of an aircraft. G-DMSS is an ex RAF Gazelle Helicopter.
What are 4 forces acting in an airplane during flight?
Forces acting on an aircraft in flight are:gravityliftdrag
What are the 4 forces acting of aircraft?
The total net force on an aircraft in flight is usually studied in terms of four perpendicular componentsreferred to as lift, weight, thrust, and drag.

Was the Battle of Midway fought on land or sea?
The Battle of Midway was fought entirely at sea by aircraft from Japan's aircraft carrier forces, the United States Navy aircraft carrier forces, and land-based aircraft from Midway.
What are the forces on an airplane taking off?
The forces acting on an aircraft at any given point in time are lift, drag, thrust and weight. I would add that there are Friction forces if the aircraft is still touching the runway.
What was the enemy aircraft?
Any aircraft flown by opposition forces was the enemy aircraft. Without knowing which country you are refering to, it is not possible to list the airplanes.
What is gravity meter used in aircraft?
Aircraft are equipped with instruments that measure the G-forces. That doesn't mean it detects gravity. Instead, these measure the forces on the aircraft, where 1 G Down is the normal weight of the aircraft. This information is recorded and stored on the aircraft and Flight Data Recorder so mechanics can determine if the aircraft experienced a hard landing or other heavy load.
Which of the forces in the aircraft are desired?
Lift is desired. Drag is undesirable
What are the forces will be acting on the aircraft?
lift,thrust,weight,drag,
When an airplane is flying straight and level what can be said about the forces on an airplane?
the forces are equal to balance the aircraft in flight
What are the name of the forces that act on aircraft?
Hi The forces that act on an aircraft were identified by Sir George Cayley (27th December 1773 to 15th December 1857. He became identified as the father of Aerodynamics he lad down the force the universal forces that we recognise today as 1) weight 2) lift 3) drag 4) thrust. You can find out more about him and the history of flight online. I hope this helped you.
What are the forces on an airplane landing?
The forces acting on an aircraft during any phase of flight: thrust, drag, lift, and weight.
