What type of air is above an airplane wing when it is flying?
The air above an airplane wing in flight is at lower pressure than the air below the wing. Hope this helps.
Does the air above the airplane move faster than the air below the airplane?
That's true for the airplane's wings, when the airplane is flying upright.
Why does a fountain pen leak in an airplane?
there is less pressure above the ground so the ink inside it burlge outside and flow in airplane......
What layer of the earth are you in while flying in an airplane?
Planes fly in the atmosphere above the surface of the earth called the stratosphere.
Why does the air pressure above an airplane wing diff from the pressure below it?
The air pressure above the wing is lower because the air traveling faster over the curved top surface creates lower pressure compared to the slower-moving air below the wing. This pressure difference generates lift, allowing the airplane to fly.
What happens when air above an airplane wing is moving faster than air below an airplane wing?
When the air above an airplane wing moves faster than the air below it, a pressure difference is created. This pressure difference generates lift, as the higher pressure below the wing pushes the aircraft upward. This is known as Bernoulli's principle, where increased air speed above the wing results in decreased pressure and lift.
When an airplane is flying 40000 feet above sea level how many miles high is it?
40000 feet = 7.6 miles
How much lift is exerted on the wings of an airplane that have a total surface area of 108 m when the difference in air pressure below and above the wings is 5 percent of atmospheric pressure?
What type of airplane, how much does it weigh, and how fast is it traveling. Is it flying level to the horizon, or is it increasing/decreasing elevation. You have to take in to account these factors before you can answer that question.
How does Bernoulli's principle work in explaining the lift generated by an airplane wing?
Bernoulli's principle explains how the faster-moving air above an airplane wing creates lower pressure, while slower-moving air below the wing creates higher pressure. This pressure difference generates lift, allowing the airplane to fly.
Why does the lift on an airplane wing increase as the speed of the airplane increases?
The lift on an airplane wing increases as the speed of the airplane increases due to the Bernoulli's principle. Faster airspeed over the wing creates lower pressure, and higher pressure underneath the wing generates lift. This relationship creates more lift force as airspeed increases.
What happens when your airplane takes off from an airstrip on the ground and rises 30000 feet into the sky what happens to the air pressure on the outside of the airplane?
As the airplane ascends to 30,000 feet, the air pressure outside the airplane decreases. This is because air pressure decreases with altitude due to less air molecules exerting pressure on the aircraft. The difference in pressure between the inside and outside of the airplane is managed by the aircraft's pressurization system to ensure a comfortable environment for passengers and crew.
When a pilot mentions that a plane is at an altitude of 34000 feet is that above sea level or above the ground for example 44000 ft above sea level if flying over a mountain range 10000 feet high?
Most likely, neither. When an airplane is flying above FL 180 (18,000 feet above sea level, or 18,000 MSL) in the United States, the altimeter readings are read out based on 'pressure altitude'.Normally altitude is determined by an instrument (altimeter) that utilizes the barometric readings reported at ground reporting stations over which you are flying. However, when cruising at or above FL180, pilots use 'pressure altitude', where the altimeter is set to use 29.92 inches Hg as the barometric pressure for readings. This helps to prevent having to change the instrument settings continuously to match the ground stations, and ensures that pilots flying at these higher altitudes all have the same reference setting for height.
