I'm more familiar with boat propellers but I don't think this can be answered as it stands. You would need to know various factors, such as aircraft resistance, which would be influenced by factors such as aircraft shape and attitude (and hence drag), air temperature, and air pressure. Colder air and lower air pressure would lower air viscosity, which would in turn lower aircraft drag. But the propeller requires a certain air viscosity to function at its greatest efficiency, so you'd need to take that into account. You would also need to know the propeller pitch - the forward movement the propeller travels during a revolution

What is the impacts to society of the aircraft carriers?

Aircraft can strike any city anywhere anytime, thanks to the aircraft carrier. Stated another way: Prior to the carrier, airplanes NEEDED a land base to operate from. So if a country or city was too far away from any land, it would be virtually safe from air attack because NO AIRPLANE could reach it. Thanks to the carrier; no land (island) is needed.


What is the diameter of a spherical protein if the protein is spherical and has a density of 1gcm3?

To answer this question, the mass of the spherical protein is needed. the fact that the protein is a sphere and that it has a density of 1gcm3 is not enough information to determine the diameter.


Blades do not turn and motor hums?

If the blades of a device do not turn and the motor is humming, it may indicate a mechanical blockage or a failure in the drive mechanism. The motor could be receiving power but is unable to rotate the blades due to an obstruction or a faulty coupling. It's advisable to check for any debris or obstructions around the blades and ensure that the motor's bearings and gears are functioning properly. If the issue persists, further inspection or professional assistance may be needed.

How do you calculate propeller distance?

To calculate propeller distance, you typically need to know the diameter of the propeller and the number of revolutions per minute (RPM). The distance covered per revolution can be approximated by the propeller's pitch, which is the distance the propeller would move forward in one complete turn. The formula is: Distance = Pitch × RPM × Time (in hours), giving you the total distance traveled over a specified time period. Adjustments may also be needed for factors like water resistance and efficiency.

What is needed to make the blades of a turbine spin?

To make the blades of a turbine spin, you need a power source, such as wind, water, or steam, to generate the force needed to turn the blades. This force is converted into rotational energy which drives the turbine blades, connected to a shaft that then drives the generator to produce electricity.


How do propellers slow things down?

The propeller on an outboard engine, depending on size and boat application, can either "slow things down", or "speed things up". The determining factor here is prop diameter, and blade pitch, mainly the latter. A 10"x 21" prop for example, has a diameter of 10" ( from blade tip to tip ), and a pitch ( angle of blade opposed to the hub ), of 21 degrees. In theory, the above example would propel the craft 21" each revolution of the propeller. A prop of a higher pitch, 20in and up, would be used in a lighter boat or speed hull application. Also, in higher pitch props, you generally see more cupping in the blades, causing the prop to move more water and thereby causing more resistance. This higher pitch, together with additional cupping, has the effect of causing the engine to work harder in order to achieve and hold a specific speed, or rpm range. On the other end of the equasion, a lower pitch prop, say 10 x 15, would theoretically move the craft only 15in every prop revolution. The blades on a lower pitch propeller are not swept back on the hub, ( when viewed from a side angle ) as they are on the higher pitch props. On some props the blades look to be standing straight up off the hub, offering less resistance as they rotate in the water. These lower pitch propellers are a good choice on heavy and work boat applications. The lower pitch with less cup allows the engine to turn up much easier, and to higher rpm ranges. The important point to keep in mind here is that all engines are designed to run within a specified rpm range. Install the correct size prop that will allow your engine to run within the parameters of this range. ==Another stab at it...== Since the question was put in the Airplanes and Aircraft category, we might look specifically at aircraft propellers. There are two ways an aircraft propeller can slow things down; one is by changing the pitch (angle of the blade) thereby causing the engine to spin faster or slower, and the other is by reducing or eliminating power from the engine, thereby causing the propeller to act as a windmill. In both of these examples (assuming a constant power setting or loss of engine power altogether), the energy needed to spin the powerless (or reduced power) propeller comes from the energy of the moving aircraft and therefore translates to slower airspeed. Hope that helps.


What would happen if a pilot tried to escape a damaged fighter with only a parachute?

With modern jet powered fighter aircraft survival would be practically impossible as he would be struck by parts of the aircraft. An ejection seat is needed to ensure that he completely cleared the aircraft and was at a safe distance before deploying the parachute. Older propeller driven fighter aircraft as used in WW2 and earlier escape was usually possible with just a parachute because of lower speeds, but pilots still had to be careful to avoid hitting the tail structures on some fighter aircraft.


How are the rotor blades of a helicopter tilted when rotating?

The rotor blades of a helicopter are tilted backwards when rotating to generate lift and control the direction of the aircraft. This tilt is called "pitch" and is controlled by the pilot using the cyclic control stick to adjust the blade angle as needed during flight. The pitch of the rotor blades can be changed to move the helicopter forward, backward, left, or right.


What is Attrition Reserve?

an airforce term for aircraft over the amount needed for primary and backup use that are held in reserve to repalce aircraft that are lost - backup aircraft are over the amount needed for primary use to be used while primary aircraft are maintened or otherwise out of service


What does the weight of the airplane have to do with the lift of it?

The weight of an aircraft counteracts the lift produced by an aircraft. The heavier an aircraft weighs the greater the lift needed to get off the ground.


What pushes an aircraft?

The type of "push" most commonly of interest in aircraft are from reaction-based engines which create needed forward thrust to produce lift. The reaction that creates the thrust is implicit in the name "aircraft"; a common illustration would be the blade of a propeller pushing against air; the force of the reaction against the blade pulls on the aircraft by virtue of the fixed connection to the engine; the consequent motion of air across the lift surfaces (typically, wings) generate the lift. Other devices which create this reaction include jet engines, turboprops, rocket engines (rarely), and the like.


Is a balanced force needed for an aircraft to take off?

true


Why empty weight is needed in aircraft?

It's not so much "needed" as it is a physical consequence. The empty weight is the weight of the aircraft itself - without fuel, crew, passengers, cargo or weapons.
