While this idea does get one thing correct: namely that lift can be described as a reaction force to the deflection of air, it completely ignores the effect of the upper surface, which plays an important role. For more on this theory, see yet another NASA article on the topic. So where...
If your piston engine is powering a plane, that limits how fast it can fly, how much lift it can make, how big it can be, and how much it can carry.Photo: Piston engine: One way to make lots of power, consistently, is to use lots of cylinders. This classic Bristol Jupiter piston...
By over-correcting this way, it lets the missile anticipate the path of the moving plane in the same way that you anticipate the path of a moving object. If you are a quarterback trying to throw a ball to a receiver running across the field, you would not throw the ball toward where ...
A magnifying globe shows a plane and boats over a map of the Bermuda Triangle, the site of many 'mysterious' disappearances. Lightguard/Getty Images You won't find it on any official map, and if you're sailing in the Atlantic, you're likely not to even notice when you cross its vag...
You can also configure Action Sets and Action Layers to enable totally different button bindings and then switch to them on the fly in-game. For example, if you only wanted to use gyro controls while in a plane in GTA, you could create an Action Set for that and trigger it by pressing...
Really? A plane can fly in a purely turbulent state? Perhaps I don't know what turbulence is then. Yes, it absolutely can and they often do. Based on this statement I suspect you don't actually understand turbulence. Many people think about the airline pilot coming on over th...
SAS Scandinavian Airlines/Wikimedia DC-3 Flight NC-16002, 1948 On December 28, 1948, a DC-3 passenger plane, considered to be one of the most reliable aircraft ever built, was flying on a route from San Juan, Puerto Rico to Miami. The weather was good, and when the plane was 50 ...
Getting Around Japan By Plane Flying has become a better option in Japan in recent years as more budget carriers now serve Japan. In general, airfares are on par with bullet train tickets. JAL and ANA are the big players. The main “budget” carriers are Peach and Jetstar Japan. ...
Eject as soon as you possibly can, wait for the plane to fly clear, and then hit your parachute. With luck, you glide safely to the ground and live to fly another day. When it comes to saving lives, parachutes are among the simplest and most effective of inventions. How exactly do ...
The PID Tuning tab offers the ability to tweak your quad’s flight performance and get it to fly the way you want. It might look daunting, but you don’t really have to change anything here as the default Betaflight settings work pretty well on a wide range of FPV drones. When you be...
