How much faster is a plane than a car?
Depends on which 'small' planes you are talking about! Generally light/small aircraft are operated with a piston engine(s) similar to the ones you will find in your car. As they are still fairly fast, an airline aircraft is much more quicker due to its jet engines. Furthermore, military combat aircraft are MUCH MUCH MORE faster than airline aircraft simply because of their lightweight and GI-NORMOUS thrust their jet engines produce. When you see them doing loops etc. they're throwing aerodynamics out the window and letting their over-powered engines do the work! Hope this helped.
What is a thrust lever?
this is a control which allows the pilot of an aircraft to increase or decrease the power of the engines, on take-off pilot was usually push the the thrust lever forward to increase power and pull back to decrease power thrust levers can come in 1-4 levers depending on aircraft
How does flak work?
As a flak round is fired into oncoming aircraft it is detonated at a pre-determined altitude causing shrapnel to tear into anything coming into its path. This shrapnel is devastating to aircraft, particularly the engines, equipment and personnel housing areas, as they are highly fragile and precision pieces of equipment. I hope that answers your query. Dan, 16. Historical Studies Student
Did the airplane lead up to other inventions?
no --- Yes airlons, Flaps and rudders were invented to replace the wing warping method employed by the Wright brothers. Yes. The Germans invented the Pulse jet engine during WWII to power the V2 flying bomb which was a form of aircraft. Hot air balloons not only lead on to more conventional aircraft that we would recognise today, but also the high heat burners were created to lift the balloons. Yes. The Turbojet engine invented by the Englishman Sir Frank Whittle was specifically invented to power an aircraft. Yes. Rockets are a form of craft which travel in air and therefore are aircraft. The rocket engines designed to propel aircraft in WWII were later used to power rockets for the space race during the 60's lead by Werner Von Brown who lead the design team for the NAZI V1 and V2 rocket. Space travel is a derivative of aircraft design. The Japanese and Germans used rocket engines to give boost to lift off heavy bombers. Streamlining to reduce drag caused by wind turbulence which was invented for aircraft was later used to reduce drag on all manner of machines, cars & Motorcycles, for instance. It was even used as a style option in the 50s on cars that had no need for drag reduction.
Why does an spacecraft have larger tanks than an airplane?
Jet engines need oxygen that is pulled from the air outside the aircraft and into the engine to be mixed with fuel and ignited for propulsion. Rocket engines will either use fuel that already contains oxygen in it (such as hydrazine) or pulls in oxygen that is stored onboard the air/spacecraft separate from the fuel.
What is a standard overhaul?
A numbered hourly overhaul of aircraft or engines. Ie 40 hr overhaul, 100 hour overhaul.
What is the aircraft with the most engines?
The Helios is the aircraft with the most engines. This was an unmanned electric aircraft with 14 engines with propellers.
What is VIJA Aircraft Engines's population?
The population of VIJA Aircraft Engines is 2.
When was Walter Aircraft Engines created?
Walter Aircraft Engines was created in 1911.
Is there Mercedes aircraft engines?
No, there are not. However during WW2 there were BMW aircraft engines .
When was VIJA Aircraft Engines created?
VIJA Aircraft Engines was created in 2004.
What is a jet aircraft?
An aircraft propelled by jet engines rather than piston engines.
What current military aircraft has 6 engines?
There are no current military aircraft with 6 engines.
What do aircraft engine manufacturers do?
Aircraft engine manufacturers construct aircraft engines, and maintain the engines when faulty.
What military aircraft in use today has six engines?
There are no aircraft of any kind that currently fly on six engines.
Are jets aircraft?
Aircraft that can break the sound barrier, yes they are jets. Aircraft are jets if they are powered by jet engines, as opposed to piston engines which have propellers.
How are engines in a multiengine aircraft numbered?
From left to right.On a twin engined aircraft, engine one will be on the left wing, engine two on the right. On a four-engined aircraft, engines one and two will be on the left wing, with engine one being the outer engine and engine two being the inner engine. Engine three and four will be on the right wing with engine three being the inner engine and four being the outer.On aircraft which have two engines in-line like the Cessna skymaster. The forward engine is engine one and the aft engine is engine two.
