How do planes stay in the air?
As an aircraft's wing moves through the air at speed the air on top of the wing is forced to follow a longer path than the air moving underneath the wing [due to the spahe of the wing] This reduces air pressure on the upper surface of the wing and creates lift.
What type of chart or graph would be best for showing the relationship between bird wing length and average flight distance?
a line graph
Does the shape of a plane wing affect the flight?
Yes, wing shape is important for several reasons: If the shape is wrong, then the air flow will peel loose from the wing's upper surface. If this happens, then the air flow becomes turbulent, and the wing can no longer deflect the air. This is called "STALL." So the shape of the wing is important in preventing stall. If a wing was flat like a board, it would work fine as long as it wasn't tilted. If tilted, the air flow peels loose from the leading edge, and Stall is created. But it MUST be tilted in order to create lift. The solution is simple: make the leading edge round, and the trailing edge sharp. An airfoil must be shaped like a streamlined teardrop. That way it can be tilted, and the air still flows smoothly around the leading edge. Stall is prevented. To deflect air and provide lift, the trailing edge of the wing must tilt down. We could tilt the whole wing. But if the wing angle is too steep, the air flow will not follow the wing surface. The wing will "stall." But when flying slowly, less air gets deflected, so the wing must be tilted more. Doesn't this mean that large heavy airplanes can't fly? Would their wings tilt too much, then stall? No, because wings can have an arch shape or cup shape. If a wing is humped up in the center, then it will smoothly deflect air, and stalls are prevented. This shape is called "airfoil camber." A heavy slow plane needs a highly cambered wing. A fast small plane needs a wing which is almost flat. The side view of airplane wings looks like a bent teardrop shape, with a round front and a sharp back. WARNING: some people will tell you that a wing must be curved on top and flat on the bottom. This is wrong. The curves don't matter at all. Instead, the front edge of a wing must be round, and the wing must be cambered (curved.) Some high-lift wings are so cambered that the bottom is not flat at all, instead it arches inwards.
How does an airplane stay up in the air?
Winglift.Lift is pressure on the wing due differential air pressure below and above wing. This difference results from the difference in curvature of the wing top and bottom..
Can a bede bd-5j do a barrel row from ten feet off the ground?
the length of the wing would probably cause it to hit the ground as the aircraft rolls - it may be possible to quicly climb a few feet to clear the wing but a barrel roll that close to the ground would be suicidal as even the slightest error could cause it to hit the ground - in fact flying level that close to the ground would be dangerous
Which type of paper airplane can glide for the longest and with what speed?
The wing that has a longer wing cause it could fly longer.
Why do wing length and plane weight matter with paper airplanes?
The combination of wing area and plane weight affect a paper airplane's glide ratio and range.
How does the wing of an aircraft and runway length related. if we reduce the wing size of any Airbus or Boeing and increase the runway length then what will happen?
If you reduce wing size the aircraft will take longer distance and will have to attain higher ground speed before lift-off.
How does wing length affect the flight time of a paper helicopter?
well i dnt really know bob can i have a cookie now
How does the design of a paper airplane affect the distance it flies?
The more aerodynamic it is, the more air underneath the wings, the longer it will stay aloft. The longer it is airborne, the better chances it will fly further.
Do paper planes fly longer with a wide wingspan?
Sort of a wider wing span creates more lift but also creates more drag the shape of the wing is also a factor
What does wing length have to do with helicopter flight?
the longer the wings, the higher the surface area. therefore, the more airresistance and more flight time
What wing design for a paper airplane will soar the farthest?
What wing design for a paper airplane will soar the farthest
What is the wing span of an airplane?
It's the length of the wing. Depends on make.
Can the length of a paper airplanes wingspan make it fly frther?
Not necessarily. It's all down to the aerodynamic shape of the wing - and the amount of force used to propel the plane.
What is the wing length of a hawk in centimeters?
yes
What type of wing design makes a paper plane stay in the air longest?
The large wing usually works depending on what type of paper plane you want.
