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 ...
How much force does a jet engine produce? How are fan blades an inclined plane? You are traveling on an airplane. The velocity of the plane with respect to the air is 160 m/s due east. The velocity of the air with respect to the ground is 40 m/s at an angle of 30 degrees west...
Broadcast: the aircraft is broadcasting the data to all receivers What does Flightradar24 do with that data? The ADS-Btranspondertransmits a signal containing the position of the aircraft (and much more) ADS-B signal is picked up by areceiverconnected to Flightradar24’s network ...
When flying, having a well constructed flight plan is the key to flying safely and effectively. This video will teach you how to calculate the perfect flight plan, research flight paths, traffic, and calculating fuel flow and flight time. There's so much in this video it'll make your ...
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...
just applying the finishing touches to my Valenta Espresso and am a little concerned about the amount of slop in the linkages ... It's only on the wings, but each flap and aileron has about 1mm of slop when they are pulled up and down Is that acceptable or way too much? If it's ...
You need to do it and you’ll learn how much wind is too much for you. 0 Votes Danny D. Creech on Nov 16, 2010 Always use your best judgment. I will start my answer is that begins not with the plane but with the pilot. As a former Airline Captain there were several times I...
When an object is thrown upward, how much speed does it lose each second (ignoring air resistance)? A short while after jumping out the plane the skydiver is still accelerating, but not at -9.8 m/s%%(vertical-align:super)2%%. At this instant, air resistance equal to 21.7% of the sky...
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...
With those caveats out of the way, the audio prep is an extremely effective complementary mode to help familiarize you with questions and answers which you can listen to, for example, in your car. We regularly get feedback from people who love the audio mode and tell us how much time it...
