What else can I help you with?
Is lift an unbalanced force?
Yes, lift is an unbalanced force. It acts in opposition to the weight of an aircraft, allowing it to rise or remain in the air. When the lift generated by the wings exceeds the gravitational force acting on the aircraft, the result is an upward acceleration. Conversely, if lift is less than weight, the aircraft will descend.
What makes an airplane move faster?
An airplane can move faster by increasing the power from its engines, adjusting its angle of attack to reduce air resistance, and by flying at a higher altitude where the air is thinner and provides less drag. Upgrading to more aerodynamic designs and reducing the weight of the aircraft can also help it move faster.
What is the difference between takeoff weight and landing weight of aircrafts and how it calculated?
Takeoff weight is the total weight of an aircraft at the moment it lifts off the ground, which includes fuel, payload, and the aircraft itself. Landing weight is the weight of the aircraft at the moment it touches down on the runway, which is typically lower than the takeoff weight due to fuel burn during the flight. These weights are calculated based on the initial weight of the aircraft, fuel consumption, and payload changes during the flight.
How will the background radiation a person receives change when they fly in a jet?
When flying in a jet, a person will receive higher levels of cosmic radiation due to being at higher altitudes where the Earth's atmosphere provides less shielding. As a result, the person will be exposed to increased levels of background radiation compared to being on the ground. However, the increase is typically small and not considered a significant health risk for occasional flying.
What is stick force gradients?
Stick force gradients refer to how much force is required to move the control stick in an aircraft. A shallow stick force gradient means small changes in force result in large changes in aircraft response, making it more sensitive. A steep stick force gradient means larger changes in force are needed for the same response, making it less sensitive. Pilots use stick force gradients to control the aircraft's maneuverability.
Why can flying from Seattle to Tennessee take less time less time flying from Tennessee to Seattle in the same aircraft?
Part of it would be the rotation of the earth, but the biggest reason is Nashville's airport is a lot less crowded than Seattle's so it's quicker to get on the ground once you're in their pattern.
Is use of corrective flying spectacles safe during fighter aircraft flying?
Apparently not--the US Air Force doesn't accept anyone with less than 20/20 vision into its flying program.
The flying-time from Boston to Dublin?
07hr 50min Boston Logan (BOS) - Dublin (DUB) by a nonstop flight operated by Aer Lingus Flt EI132 i think its bit less
What are some Spanish sports?
Soccer is very popular in Spain, professional Basketball less so. They also like hang gliding and flying ultralight aircraft.
Define weight and balance in an aircraft?
The design process has to take into account weight, lift, drag and thrust. For example smaller engines require larger flying surfaces. Fighter aircraft have less wing square area and have stronger thrust jet engines. Such are the tolerances in modern aircraft that they are generally designed to carry twice there recommended loadings.
Why passenger flights fly at an attitude of 30000 feet. is it energy saving than flying at lower attitude?
At 30 000 ft, the air is less dense than it is closer to the ground. Less dense air means less drag on the aircraft, and less drag means you need less thrust in order to overcome it and still maintain the desired speed.
How many hours would be 164 miles?
Depends on your mode of transport. If you are walking, well over a day. If you are flying in a commercial jet, around 15 minutes. In a combat aircraft, less than 10 minutes.
What year did Seattle coffee open?
Seattle's Best Coffee is a less expensive subsidiary of Starbucks. It opened in 1970 in Seattle, Washington, and is available in 20 states.
Does a commercial airline fly easier at 10000 ft or 50000 feet?
Usually the higher the altitude the easier the flight as there is less air drag. However, apart from Concorde most commercial aircraft are not capable of flying at 50,000 feet.
Is flying in winter safe?
Yes, de-icing operations, advanced navigation, and seasoned pilots make winter flying safe. But expect delays, turbulence, and low visibility. Take early morning flights and ask about airline policies on cancellations.
Why high altitude for aircraft and not 1000ft?
The higher an aircraft is the less air in the atmosphere. this means less air resistance which means you can go faster with less effort. also less air means less fuel burnt for same power. this saves fuel. for this reason most aircraft will operate at high altitudesThere are also fewer obstructions at high altitude than there are at 1000 feet.
Why do fighter pilots wear oxygen mask?
There are several reasons why jet aircraft fly at high altitude, The main reason is that the air is much thinner, hence the aircraft needs to run the turbines at less power in order to maintain a speed, The less power you run the engines at, the less fuel you use. The other reasons include noise abatement and keeping out of the way of smaller air traffic such as helicopters and piston engined aircraft who are limited to the altitude they are capable of flying at.
