The top speed of an airplane can vary by the model of the plane. The highest speed ever reached was 2,193 miles per hour by an SR-71 Blackbird in 1976.

Why is an airplane able to fly because of bernoullis principal?

That's "principle", not "principal". The idea is that the airplane's wings are shaped in such a way that the air moves faster on the top than on the bottom. As a result - and applying Bernoulli's principle - there is less pressure on the top of the wings.


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 does bernoulli's principle affect lift?

Bernoulli's principle states that as the speed of a fluid increases, its pressure decreases. In the context of lift, air flowing over the curved top surface of an airplane wing travels faster than the air below the wing, creating lower pressure on the top surface. This pressure difference generates lift, allowing the airplane to stay airborne.


How does the Bernoulli's plane principle work?

Bernoulli's principle states that as the speed of a fluid (such as air) increases, its pressure decreases. In the context of an airplane wing, the shape of the wing causes air to travel faster over the top surface, creating lower pressure than the air underneath the wing. This pressure difference results in lift, which helps the airplane to fly.

Describe how an airplane stays in the air include the speed pf air above and below the airplane?

Airplanes stay in the air by having a curved blunt shaped wing at the front of the wing and a skinny end. By doing this the airplane has more air going over the top of the wing than the bottom, thus creates lift with a vacuum effect. Answer Actually the same amount of air flows over and under the wing. It is the SPEED of the air that produces the lift. When the air speeds up, the pressure drops, thus creating lift from the under-side of the wing. The Speed of the air flow will vary, depending on the type of wing. However, some distance away from the wing and the speed of the air is the same on both sides of the wing.

Why airplane float in air?

Because the speed of the air over the wing generates 'lift' to make it fly.
