What else can I help you with?
Do glider planes have engines?
No, that's what makes them gliders.
What aircraft has no engines?
A Glider or sailplane. Schweitzer has a virtual monopoly on these in the Us at present, there were other makes such as Bowlus in War II and earlier.
When the space shuttle prepares to land its engines are turn off how does the shuttle land without its engines?
It is the shuttle land like a normal glider?
What the diference between an glider and an airplane?
A glider is an aircraft that does not have an engine and relies on natural forces like wind and gravity for flight. It typically launches from a high point and glides through the air. An airplane, on the other hand, is powered by engines that generate thrust to propel it through the air.
Do gliders have engines?
Yes and no... Pretty much every glider does not have an engine. A tow plane is used to take the glider up, then it detaches and uses thermals which come from the ground to lift its self up. Just like what a bird does. When a bird flies in circles, it has found a thermal and you will notice it is rising up... On the other hand, Germany has invented a glider with an engine that comes out for take off, and as soon as the glider is in the air, the engine goes back in.
How much does a glider weigh?
It depends if it is a model glider or a manned glider.
Are sugar gliders the only type of gliders?
No: There are actually six different species of glider found in Australia. They include:Yellow-bellied Glider - Petaurus australisSugar Glider - Petaurus brevicepsSquirrel Glider - Petaurus phalangerGreater Glider - Petaurioides volansFeathertail Glider - Acrobates pygmaeusMahogany Glider - Petaurus gracilis
How many engines in one airplane?
You have to have at least one. (If you don't have an engine, your are classified as a glider.) The largest planes typically run 4 or 6 jet engines. Most planes have 1,2,3,4 or 6 engines. Very large aircraft sometimes have more. There are propeller planes, turbo prop and jet engines. There are also VTOL Vertical TakeOff and Landing planes, such as the Harrier and Osprey
What are the gliding marsupials?
The gliding marsupials are the gliders, and they are all members of the possum family. There are six different species of glider found in Australia. They include:Yellow-bellied Glider - Petaurus australisSugar Glider - Petaurus brevicepsSquirrel Glider - Petaurus phalangerGreater Glider - Petaurioides volansFeathertail Glider - Acrobates pygmaeusMahogany Glider - Petaurus gracilis
What is the independent variable of a glider?
The independent variable of a glider, if it is an air glider, would be the thermal updrafts available at any flight. Without effective thermals, it makes it difficult for a glider to maintain lift and develop elevation for sustained glides.
How is the yawing in a glider detected?
How is the yawing in a glider detected?
What is the name of the aircraft that has no engine?
A glider or hang-glider
