Technically, but unlikely.
For instance, a slow airplane is capable of staying in the air at about 30 knots/34 mph. 34 mph is a pretty strong wind, but in hurricanes, winds can be as fast as 150 mph. If a plane is flying directly into the wind at 30 knots, and the wind is blowing at 30 knots, the plane will not be moving relative to the ground. (Ground speed zero). The planes airspeed will still be 30 knots.
NASA has a plane that goes very slow (slower than a bicycle). In a stiff wind, it will go backwards relative to the ground.
Most pilots wouldn't fly in a wind that was blowing at a speed capable of holding them in one place. Not because of any danger in the air, because there wouldn't be, but because landing (on the runway) would be extremely difficult to impossible.
What else can I help you with?
What is the force that counteracts the weight of an airplane?
The force that counteracts the weight of an airplane is called lift. Lift is generated by the wings of the airplane as it moves through the air. The amount of lift produced needs to be equal to or greater than the weight of the airplane to keep it in the air.
Which force acts against the motion of an airplane as it flies through the air?
Drag is the force that acts against the motion of an airplane as it flies through the air. It is caused by the resistance of the air to the forward motion of the airplane, and it slows the airplane down. Pilots must account for drag to maintain optimal speed and efficiency during flight.
How is an airplane flying an example of fluid friction?
When an airplane is flying, it experiences fluid friction with the air around it. This friction is caused by the resistance of the air to the movement of the airplane. The airplane's design and engine power are optimized to overcome this friction and maintain flight.
What happens when your airplane takes off from an airstrip on the ground and rises 30000 feet into the sky what happens to the air pressure on the outside of the airplane?
As the airplane ascends to 30,000 feet, the air pressure outside the airplane decreases. This is because air pressure decreases with altitude due to less air molecules exerting pressure on the aircraft. The difference in pressure between the inside and outside of the airplane is managed by the aircraft's pressurization system to ensure a comfortable environment for passengers and crew.
What flies farther a airplane or hot air balloon?
the airplane will fly farther. This is due to the fact that both the airplane and the hot air balloon use fuel. Also because the hot air balloon only means of movement is wind, While an airplane use jet propulsion. This allows the airplane to travel in any direction
Is it possible to turn off airplane mode while in the air?
No, it is not possible to turn off airplane mode while in the air as it is a safety regulation to prevent interference with aircraft communication systems.
What was the need in creating the first powered airplane?
To prove that heavier-than-air flight was possible.
Does the air above the airplane move faster than the air below the airplane?
That's true for the airplane's wings, when the airplane is flying upright.
Why is the surface on the top of an airplane wing curved?
The top surface of an airplane wing is curved to create lift. Because of the curve, air has to travel farther across the top of the wing than across the bottom; this creates a low-pressure condition that pulls the airplane into it.
Your air condition unit does not blow any air at all hot or cold what is the problem?
Possible blown fuse
What is the worth of buck air rifle?
It all depends on the condition of the air rifle. Without more information it is not possible to answer you.
Do commercial airlines stop in the air?
No. It is not aerodynamically possible for a regular passenger airplane to do that If the airplane even just slows down, past what is called it's "stall speed", it will fall from the sky. Some military airplanes can hover in the air, but it uses a lot of fuel.
How many seconds did the first airplane last in the air?
The First Airplane Lasted 12 seconds in the air.
Can a airplane stand still in mid air?
how much time stand still with air still airplane
Who invented air transportation?
The Wright brothers invented the airplane. The Wright brothers proved that air travel was possible and integrated it into modern lifestyle.
What was the biggest airplane in the world?
The Biggest Airplane Is... Air France A380
