During landing, the purpose is to slow down the aircraft's ground speed as slow as you can without it stalling. You want to maintain Lift, not necessarily get more lift. At higher speeds, the aircraft has plenty of Lift. However during landing, the speed is slower and the angle of attack is increased to provide more Lift at lower speeds.

What function do the wing play when an aeroplane is landing?

The wings give the aircraft 'lift' especially when it is at a slower speed such as landing


What are the flaps of an airplane used for?

They help produce more lift by the wing. Lift is dependant on the formula L=CL x1/2densityx speed (squared) xsurface area So the greater the surface area the more lift produced. Flaps can extend from the front of the back of the wing. They also change the curvature of the wing thus producing more lift as well. They are used for takeoff and landing because they allow the wing to produce more lift at a slower speed.

Why does the Concorde have small wings?

They give extra lift on take-off and landing.


Airplanes need a longer runway at high altitudes to develop the required lift Please explain?

The airplane develops lift through the process of moving a mass of air over the wings at a sufficient rate ... the more mass per second, the more lift. The density of air is less at high altitudes, meaning any given volume has less mass than the same volume would have at lower altitude. In order to blow the required amount of mass (per second) over the wings and develop the required lift, more speed is required, hence a longer runway over which to accelerate.


What is the relationship between the amount of effort required to lift the load and the distance the load is from the fulcrum?

The amount of effort required to lift a load is inversely proportional to the distance the load is from the fulcrum. This means that the closer the load is to the fulcrum, the more effort is needed to lift it, and vice versa when the load is farther from the fulcrum.


Is more force usually required to pull or lift an object?

More force is typically required to lift an object than to pull it. When lifting an object, you are working against gravity in addition to any other forces present, making it typically more difficult compared to pulling an object where you are often just overcoming friction.


When is a landing required for an exterior door?

There shall be a floor or landing on each side of each exterior door. Exception: Where a stairway of two or fewer risers is located on the exterior side of a door, other than the required exit door, a landing is not required for the exterior side of the door. The floor or landing at a door shall not be more than 1 1/2 inches (38 mm) lower than that top of the threshold. Exception: Provided that the exterior doorway is not for the exit door required by Section R311, the step between the landing at an exterior doorway and the top of the threshold shall have a rise not greater than permitted in Section R314.2. The door, other than an exterior storm or screen door, shall not swing over the landing.

When are the flaps on an airplane most useful?

They are useful for takeoff to get lift and at landing for slowing down the plane.
