The glider has a much larger aspect ratio than a conventional plane. Why don't all planes have wings with high aspect ratios? There are two reasons for this. The first is that not all aircraft are designed for efficient flight. Military fighters, for example, are designed with speed and ...
As with soarplane gliders, the balance of these three forces (lift, drag, gravity) determines how high the hang glider can go, how far it can travel and how long it can stay aloft. The performance of a hang glider and the distance it can travel is determined by its glide ratio (lift...

Remember that the shuttle was to fly like a plane, more like a glider, when it landed. A working orbiter was built to test the aerodynamic design, but not to go into outer space. The orbiter was called the Enterprise after the "Star Trek" starship. The Enterprise flew numerous flight an...
Milly: And then how long or short a wing is can change from bird to bird or plane to plane! Kid 3: I know that some flap and some just glide Milly: That's it. See my plane? Well, she's more of a powered hang-glider – her wings are copied from a seagull! Nij: Wow a seag...
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...
That flight set a new glider altitude record. Fossett and Enevoldson say they could have ridden the stratospheric waves even higher—they only turned back because the low air pressure caused their pressure suits to inflate so much that they couldn’t operate the controls. If you want to ...
If you fall from a plane without a parachute, your relatively compact body zooms through the air like a stone; open your parachute and you create more air resistance, drifting to the ground more slowly and safely—much more like a feather. Simply speaking, then, a parachute works by ...
