What else can I help you with?
What is the instrument that indicates engine power for an aircraft with a fixed-pitch propeller?
That would be the RPM gauge. On an aircraft with variable pitch prop it would be the manifold pressure gauge.
What causes an airplane except a T-tail to pitch nose down when power is reduced and controls are not adjusted?
Less airflow going over the wings of the aircraft
What is an utility aircraft?
The perfect aircraft to use as a 'Utility Aircraft', would be any type of the Hercules Range of Aircraft.
What is the name of pilotless aircraft?
A pilotless aircraft is called a drone.
What is the angle of attack on an airplane?
The angle of attack is an aerodynamic term which refers to the angle between the mean wing chord of the airfoil and the direction of airflow. This is different from the pitch angle of the aircraft in that the pitch angle refers to the aircrafts position in relation to the horizon, whereas angle of attack refers to the aircrafts angle in relation to airflow.
What is an aircraft blade paddle?
It is a tool used to manualy change the pitch of an variable pitch aircraft propeller.
What control surface controls pitch?
The control surface that controls pitch is the elevator. It is located on the horizontal stabilizer of an aircraft and is used to control the aircraft's pitch attitude by adjusting the angle of the stabilizer.
What is used to control pitch of an aircraft?
elevator
What does the elevator do for an airplane?
controls aircraft pitch
What is pitch in aircraft?
Pitch is a rotating movement of the body of the aircraft about the axis of the wings. Pitch is represented by rotating to tilt the aircraft up or down. Yaw is a rotation left and right, similar to turning your head to the left and right. Roll is a rotation of the aircraft about the front to rear axis. An aircraft would roll if the pilot wanted to turn it to fly upside down.
What does pitch control in an airplane?
Pitch controls the angle up or down of the aircraft.
Does the rudder control the pitch?
No, the rudder does not control the pitch of an aircraft. The rudder is primarily used for controlling yaw, which is the side-to-side movement of the aircraft's nose. Pitch is controlled by the elevator, which is located on the tail of the aircraft and adjusts the angle of the plane's nose up or down.
How does a aeroplane move?
Elevators control the pitch (up and down) of the aircraft. Ailerons control the roll of the aircraft. And rudders control the yaw of the aircraft.
What is the instrument that indicates engine power for an aircraft with a fixed-pitch propeller?
That would be the RPM gauge. On an aircraft with variable pitch prop it would be the manifold pressure gauge.
What is the pitch rate in an aircraft?
It is simply the rate at which the aircraft can pitch - ie. rotate around the lateral axis, which is roughly the wings. The faster an aircraft can pitch, the greater the "g" limit required, and achieved. Otherwise it would become overstressed. Most aircraft can exceed their 'G' Limits, but pilots prevent this through "seat of the pants" indications of wing loading.
How can you slow a plane down?
there are a couple of ways to slow a plane down. the first is to throttle down, this will help decrease speed. the second is pitch, if you increase the pitch, or raise the nose, you can decrease speed too. most aircraft have a pitch control wheel that raises or lowers the pitch (Nose) of the aircraft. By raising the pitch alittle and throttling down, you will slow the aircraft down really quick.
What is the function of the elevator in a plane?
Elevators are flight control surfaces, usually at the rear of an aircraft, which control the aircraft's pitch
