What was the purpose of the gimli glider?
The Gimli Glider was a Boeing 767 that became famous for its emergency landing in Gimli, Manitoba, in 1983 due to a fuel miscalculation. The aircraft ran out of fuel mid-flight because it had been mistakenly filled with metric units instead of imperial units, resulting in a significant underestimation of the fuel available. The successful landing by the pilots, without any injuries, demonstrated the importance of accurate communication and procedures in aviation safety. The incident highlighted the need for better training and standardization in fuel measurement practices.
How does the airfoil help a glider?
The airfoil shape of a glider's wings is designed to generate lift by creating a pressure difference between the upper and lower surfaces as air flows over them. This aerodynamic design allows the glider to rise and maintain altitude with minimal drag. The curvature of the airfoil helps to optimize the lift-to-drag ratio, enabling the glider to glide efficiently over long distances without an engine. Ultimately, the airfoil is crucial for enhancing the glider's performance and maneuverability in the air.
How do you make a glider fly in circles?
Is this a trick question? Is it a real glider or a model/toy? It's tough enough flying powered aircraft in actual closed circles in the sky, much less a glider. The best you can regularly expect from a glider is a tight corkscrew up or down. A true, closed circle in the sky by a glider would require some VERY accommodating updrafts. But assuming you have that VERY rare condition...
You roll the ailerons into the turn, stepping on the appropriate rudder at the same time, being careful to maintain the aircraft in a coordinated attitude, reach the angle of turn you desire, center the rudder, check for aircraft coordination. If it is coordinated, great. If not, adjust with judicious use of the rudder. Hold that pose. You are now in a turn, making circles, until such time as you command another control input... or your rare updrafts quit on you and you run out of altitude... whichever comes fist.
sugar gliders breath just like humans do. They have lungs just like us
Do sugar gliders eat at night?
Sugar gliders are nocturnal, so they are awake at night and that is when they eat. Sometimes they might wake up during the day and grab a little snack, but we feed our pet gliders in the evening, so they have something to eat when they wake up.
How does thrust affect a glider?
hey im 7 so im better then da other peeps and im soooooooo kool like ur so ugi hahahaha #imdabestyolognarlydudeeee
Who were the Sugars of Dave and Sugar in 1982 and 1983?
sue Powell bowling from sellersburg, Indiana and I'm drawing a blank on the other sugar
Can a baby female sugar glider be put with a 4 year old sugar glider?
Putting sugar gliders of the same sex and different ages is not a good idea. You should pair sugar gliders when they are young and both the same sex or if male and female they should be neutered otherwise gliders have a tendency to reproduce like crazy.
Can related sugar gliders mate?
Yes, related sugar gliders can make. Sometimes it is unlikely. You can tell if they are mating if the male is trying to mount the female, trying to lick her cloaca, and chasing her around. I am a veterinary student.
They will only do that if you pick them up and hold them as soon as they wake up. You are supposed to put them on top of their SPECIAL CAGE and let them do their business. be patient or if they start playing first then let them play... just watch out.
How does changing the Rudder and Elevons affect the glider?
Changing the rudder and elevons on a glider directly impacts its control and stability. The rudder primarily affects yaw, allowing the glider to turn left or right, while elevons, which act as both elevators and ailerons, control pitch and roll. Adjusting these surfaces alters the glider's aerodynamic balance, affecting its maneuverability and overall flight performance. Properly tuning these controls is essential for achieving optimal flight characteristics and handling.
Can sugar gliders live in zoos?
i would say they could live in zoos people have them as pets i have had mine for over a year now an my little family has grown
Are sugar free gummy bears dangerous?
No. I wouldn't eat a ton of them at once, but they are candy and as dangerous as any other candy.
How much does an albino sugar glider cost?
Albino sugar gliders are hard to breed for. They are still very rare, and pretty inbred, you are looking at $2500+
Do female sugar gliders pee outside of cage?
Yes . Both male and female sugar gliders pee out of the cage . And there is no way to train them to do otherwise .
Does Lazy Boy make rocker gliders?
La-Z-Boy makes a chair called the Reclina-Rocker, but it does not make the traditional gliding rocker style chair. If you wish to purchase a gliding rocker chair, you may want to check out a department store such as Sears.
Is a marriage licence from Turks and Caicos legal in New York?
No and Yes. No, you cannot use a foreign marriage license to get married in New York, However, in case you are asking if a marriage CERTIFICATE from Turks and Caicos is legal in New York, then the answer is YES. New York State recognizes marriages from other jurisdictions as long as the marriage is legal in the place it was performed. The marriage would only be invalid if it violated "public policy", such as if it were incestuous or polygamous.
