No, not really. The closer you can get to that is with a Vtol aeroplane (like the harrier) which can stand like a helicopter on engine power alone (without lift from the wings). However, these are few, and can't usually remain like that for long. As an example, the harrier can only remain hovering for one and a half minute, as in that position the engine refrigeration is assured by water cooling (as there is no airflow) and the water tanks only carry enough water for that time period.

Why aeroplanes and cars have streamline shape?

Aeroplanes and cars have a streamlined shape because it reduces the amount of air drag / air resistance, thus allowing less amounts of energy to be wasted. For example, it cars were to be designed like trucks, this would increase friction, slowing the object down. Take the example of sports cars. They are streamlined so that when it flows through the air, the car can travel smoothly, not clumsly-like movements. Trying experimenting this with a parachute and you'll see why.


Which layer of atmosphere is ideal for flying aeroplanes?

The stratosphere is the ideal layer of the atmosphere for flying airplanes due to its stability and smooth air currents, which minimize turbulence and provide more efficient fuel consumption. In the stratosphere, the jet stream can also help increase the speed of the aircraft.


Why do volcanoes stop aeroplanes from flying?

Volcanic activity can cause aircraft to be grounded. There are a number of reasons, mostly related to the high ash content in the air:Visibility and the effect on radar tracking.The abrasive affect on the mechanical parts of the planeAshes blocking air filters and air flowHealth issues for those in the plane


Why is stratosphere considered most ideal for flying aeroplanes?

You avoide all the weather conditions and the turbulence


Can zinc transported by airplanes?

Where aeroplanes park?

Aeroplanes have a special place to park. It's called aircraft hanger. It is usually situated in an airport...be it public or private. The hanger is just like your garage...but a lot bigger in size. We have to pay a lot to keep our private plane in the hanger.. But it's the most covineant way to park an airplane as its so near the runway.
