What material used in aircraft wing construction?
Depending on the aircraft, the wings can be made of Steel (Only older planes), Wood (REALLY old planes), Aluminum (Common today), Or Carbon Fiber (used in Military jets)
How can a wings lift be increased?
Lift can be increased by curving the wing downward. Most aircraft have 'flaps' at the rear inner edge of the wing to achieve this. Some aircraft even have 'slats' at the front of the wing to increase lift even more. - If you google 'aircraft slats', you will see a great picture of slats and flaps on an Airbus A310
How do you use the word fuselage in a sentence?
The "fuselage" is the main part of an aircraft, to which the wings and tail are attached. So, for example, you might write: "The fuselage of the jet was painted bright blue."
What is the difference between the flight of a plane and a helicopter?
Both use the pressure difference caused by air moving over the wings at different speeds to generate lift; a plane by moving those wings in the direction of travel, a helicopter by spinning the "wings" around at high speed. This requies that the plane be in constant forward motion in order for the wings to make lift. Thus airplanes must roll along the runaway to take-off. A helicopter cant take off at zero forward speed and hover at zero forward speed. The helicopter can land and take off vertically. Thus, they are good for landing in unimproved spots such as done by air ambulances.
What is decalage on a bi-plane?
Decalage on a fixed wing Biplane aircraft is the angle difference between the upper and lower wings of a fixed wing Biplane aircraft, i.e. the acute angle contained between the chords of the wings in question.The decalage is said to be positive when the upper wing has a higher total angle-of incidence than the lower wing, and negative when its total angle of incidence is lower. Positive decalage results in greater lift from the upper wing than the lower wing, the difference increasing with the amount of decalage.Uncle Fudd
How do aircraft propellers keep the aircraft airborne?
For an aircraft to stay aloft, the an air current has to move over the wings in a specific way. The propellers generate the air current and direct it in the proper way to keep the aircraft airborne.
What is an aircraft without fixed wings?
A helicopter is an aircraft without fixed wings. Helicopters can also be known as rotorcraft.
Can a plane fly without wings?
While there have been some wingless "lifting body" experimental aircraft. All conventional airplanes get the the majority of their lift from their wings and cannot fly without them. No. By definition, A PLANE is a fixed-wing aircraft. The wings are absolutely necessary for lift.
Can aircraft fly without wings?
If it didn't have wings, it'd be a rocket.
Why do SR-71 have wings?
All type of aircraft need wings. They are the parts that make an airplane fly. Without wings it is not even an aircraft.
What is a large aircraft without wings?
An airplane with the wings chopped off then fired from a giant slingshot.
Do All Airplanes Fly?
Any aircraft can fly as long as it can produce enough lift from the wings to overcome the weight. Additional to that the aircraft needs to be of airworthy status
Why is lift important in flight?
Because the plane has to overcome the force of gravity and it has wings to create lift to make the aircraft fly.
What is the use of wings on a aircraft?
An aircrafts wings create lift and drag. Without wings, the craft would have difficulty even getting airborne.
How can an engine stall in an aircraft?
when you hear "stalling an aircraft", that means that they are reducing the amount of airflow over the wings, until the plane cant fly anymore. to overcome this, you push the nose forwards again.
Can a airplane fly without wings?
No, airplanes need wings for lift. - Now having said that, aircraft can fly without wings, as they include helicopters, dirigibles and balloons which have alternate ways of gaining lift.
What parts of a plane help it fly?
wings, propellers ,engine , gravity
