What else can I help you with?
How do you control drag from increasing on helicopter?
Drag cannot be eliminated because drag always acts parallel to the relative wind. We can control by purchasing or using the right airfoil on the aircraft. An airfoil with smooth surface produces more lift than one with a rough surface. A rough surface creates turbulence, which reduced lft and increases drag.
Is profile drag of an aircraft also known as skin drag?
no, its part of profile drag. due to roughness, skin friction increases which affects the drag. drag can also be increased by changing the shape or by introduction of active/passiv flow control devices like vortex generators.
How do you alter drag in flying devices?
Drag is comes from the resistance created by objects to the flow of a medium. In this case the drag of an aircraft can be increased by better aerodynamics and flight surfaces. Drag can be increasing surfaces that impede the smooth flow of air.
What does drag do for an aircraft?
Drag slows down aircraft, which is why designers of aircraft that are supposed to be fast pointy and waisted, because a pointy shape has less drag, and waisted because of the area rule, which also helps an aircraft to go faster.
What is drag in an aircraft?
In aircraft aerodynamics, drag is the force that opposes forward motion, caused by air resistance as the aircraft is pushed forward by it's engines.
How does drag affect an aircraft's speed?
Drag is resistance. It lowers it.
What does the vertical stabelizer generate on an aircraft?
The vertical stabilizer generates stability and helps maintain directional control during flight by preventing the aircraft from yawing or swaying off course. It also houses components such as the rudder, which is used to control the aircraft's yaw movements.
What is thrust for an airplane?
Thrust is the produced force of the aircraft that propels the aircraft forward in order to overcome drag. Drag is the natural force of the air that resists the motion of the aircraft.
What is drag on a plane?
drag is minimized by aerofoil shape. drag is a force acts on aircraft to minimize speed
How do birds control their yaw?
Birds control their Yaw by changing pitch in their main and tail wings, increasing or decreasing drag and lift from one side of their body to the other.
What is the purpose of increasing or decreasing the angle of incidence of a particular wing?
An airplane wing flys by Newton's third law--by thrusting large volumes of air downward (regardless of what you may have heard). This upward force is called lift. The downward force is gravity, the engine causes forward thrust and there is plenty of drag caused by the airplane moving through the air (from several sources). Increasing the angle of incidence slightly causes the lift to increase but also the drag. Thus the airplane may go up but also slow down. Lowering the angle of incidence causes the lift to decrease, the drag to decrease and the speed to increase. How these things balance and the resulting lift/drag is up to the designer of the wing.
Why drag slows the forward movement of an aircraft?
Drag is a force that acts opposite to the direction of motion of an aircraft as it moves through the air. This force is caused by air resistance and friction against the aircraft's surface. Drag slows down the forward movement of the aircraft by requiring additional thrust from the engines to overcome it.
