about 180 mph at touchdown then the speed decreases very rapidly, first to maybe 50 then 10 and 0. but it mainly depends on the type of plane. the one i said above is basic for a 747

What is the role of wind in flying an airplane?

Wind plays a crucial role in flying an airplane by affecting its speed, direction, and lift. Pilots need to account for wind speed and direction when planning flight routes, takeoff, and landing to ensure safe and efficient flying. Wind can either help or hinder an aircraft's performance depending on whether it is a headwind, tailwind, or crosswind.


Why are airplane flaps not used at cruising speeds?

Airplane flaps are used during takeoff and landing to increase lift and drag, which helps the plane to reduce speed for landing and take off. At cruising speeds, the airplane is already flying efficiently and has no need for the extra lift and drag provided by the flaps.


What is the speed limt of aplane?

The speed limit of an airplane varies depending on the type of aircraft and the phase of flight. Typically, commercial airplanes have a maximum cruising speed of around 500-600 miles per hour. However, during takeoff and landing, the speed is much lower, usually around 150-200 miles per hour.


Minimum speed of an airoplane in air?

Depends on the airplane. A small Cessna might have a minimum speed of 40 mph, while a large passenger aircraft might have a minimum speed of 150mph or more. The actual speed for a given airplane will vary based on weight and flap configuration.


What helps an airplane achieve flight by causing the airplane to move faster through the air?

Thrust generated by the airplane's engines helps it achieve flight by propelling it forward and increasing its speed through the air. This increased speed allows the wings to generate lift, which raises the airplane off the ground.

How do you calculate landing approach speed on an airplane Is their a Formula?

Approach speed depends on the plane, the load, and the wind. You can go full flaps on a Cessna 150 and land at about 50 mph (stall speed). If you are landing into a 30 mph headwind, you land at about 20 mph.


What is the landing speed of fighter jet on an aircraft carrier?

"The landing system on an aircraft carrier can stop a 54,000 pound airplane traveling at 150 mph in two seconds." Also, the aircraft carrier is often moving away from the landing aircraft (allowing a greater true air speed for the landing airplane.) Suppose the aircraft carrier is going 15 mph, then the 54,000 pound aircraft can land at a true airspeed of 165 mph.
