How many passengers can ride in a Boeing 747 airplane?
A 747-400 with 3 classes of service holds about 416 passengers. With 2 classes of service it can hold 524 passengers.
How did the wright brothers work in their bicycle shop?
They built bicycles. This is why their airplane used bicycle parts (sprockets and chains) in the drive train between the engine and the propellor shafts.
What is the Difference between engine powered airplane and jet airplane?
A basic aircraft engine is a reciprocating engine of different shapes (radial, inline, opposing or V shaped) that operate similarly to an automotive engine. (The internal pistons push on a drive shaft) The drive shaft turns a propeller instead of wheels. These engines utilize a gasoline fuel very similar to auto fuel but at higher octane. Jet engines are utilized by jet aircraft and turboprop aircraft. Jet engines compress outside air, mix it with fuel (essentially kerosene) and ignite the fuel, whereby, the expanding gases flow out the exhaust with sufficient velocity to push the aircraft forward or to drive a propeller shaft. The jet engine air intake has one or more series of spinning compressor vanes that draw in and highly compress the outside air. This compressed air is mixed with fuel and ignited in the combustion chamber. The expanding gases flow out the exhaust with great velocity that produces sufficient thrust to move the aircraft forward. A turboprop jet engine adds 1 or more series of vanes into the path of the exhaust that absorb most of the energy from the exhaust. These spinning vanes within the exhaust or "turbine" section drive a shaft that drives a propellor. Pure jets are more efficient at higher altitudes whereas turboprops can be more efficient at lower altitudes and shorter distances.
What year did orvill and wilber wright fly their first airplane?
They successfully flew their 'Wright Flyer ' in December 1903.
What type of fabric did the first airplane use?
Most of the first aircraft used light fabric like muslin. This was stretched over spars and longerons and then varnished to make it tight and windproof.
Although there is no way of really knowing, I believe there is strong evidence tosupport the ideathat he was on the mild high-functioning end of the spectrum, sometimes referred to asAsperger's Syndrome. I've researched the Wright brothers over a number of years (as an enthusiast, not as a scholar) and only after having an autistic child myself did Inotice similar behavior patterns between my son andbothOrville and WilburWright. These patterns include an intense fixation on a special interest, self-focus, lack of social "filters," inability to differentiate between social contexts, social anxieties and an affinity for machines, science and engineering. Biographers have also dubbed them as "woman-shy," and as writer John Elder Robison suggests, Aspies tend to have a fear of rejection by the opposite sex. Robison's memoir"Look Me in the Eye: My Life with Asperger's"offers excellent insight from the point of view of someone with Asperger's and heseemed (to me)to havemany of the same personal qualities that defined the Wrights.
The difference is 3 Meters and 21 Centimeters
The wright brothers became interested in flying when their father gave them a?
A toy heliocopter
Lol!!
Well, no Robin did not wrote die it must have been somebody else
When did the Wright brothers fly their first airplane - the Wright Flyer?
On 17 December 1903, Wilbur and Orville Wright made the first recorded controlled flight in a powered aircraft, for a distance of 120 feet. Orville was the pilot. The flight lasted for twelve seconds.
It was the first official "engine-powered, controlled fixed wing, heavier-than-air" flight and was completed at Kill Devil Hill, Kitty Hawk in North Carolina.
The Wright Brothers first flew a controlled and sustained powered airplane flight on December 17, 1903 at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina.
December 17, 1903
On December 17, 1903, Orville Wright piloted the first powered airplane 20 feet above a wind-swept beach in North Carolina. The flight lasted 12 seconds and covered 120 feet.
What was Orville Wright's favourite food?
i know this is irelivent and that im being a dick but...
for gods sake the guy helped to invent modern aviation! who cares about his eating habits!?
its just irelivent!
its like asking how long jesus's penis was
grow up and ask a decent question
Your the dick you crap head
Short Answer: January 30, 1948
Longer answer: Orville Wright died at age 76 on January 30, 1948, over 35 years after his brother, following his second heart attack, having lived from the horse-and-buggy age to the dawn of supersonic flight. Both brothers are buried in the family plot at Woodland Cemetery, Dayton, Ohio.
Bonus Fact!: John T. Daniels, the Coast Guardsman who took their famous first flight photo, died the day after Orville.
Thanks for the question, and hope you and your family are healthy during the pandemic!!
What did Wilbur Wright's voice sound like?
--All of the footage I've seen of Orville and Wilbur Wright has been in "silent" film format.
--Unless there was something remarkable about his voice, there is little likelihood there would be any mention of it in news coverage or other documents written at the time.

Orville and Wilbur Wright (The Wright Brothers) built the first airplane, and the first flight was at Kitty Hawk, NC.
Why a person selected the Wright brothers?
Nobody selected the Wright brothers. They were independent business men and inventors.
What machines did the Wright brothers make before they were interested in flying?
They made bicycles for a living before aircraft.
