An elevator on a airplane are tabs on the tail that control its up and down motion in the air
The arrow opposite the direction of travel is the air resistance or drag.
Air speed or ground speed?
Only one requires air molecules to generate lift.
An airplane flying through the air, a swimmer diving into a pool etc.
yh if it has enough petrol
I am going to assume that aeroplane=airplane when I answer this. An airplane stays in the air by generating lift on its wings. As long as an airplane can generate sufficent lift it can stay in the air. However once the lift being generated falls below what is required for the plane to stay up... uh oh.
While the airplane moves, the air pushes up against the wings. This has to do with the special shape of the wing, and, to a great part, to Bernoulli's principle.
The wind pushes the airplane helping it to stay in the air and fly.
Bernoulli's Principlethe statement that an increase in the speed of a fluid produces a decrease in pressure and a decrease in the speed produces an increase in pressureWind has nothing to do with how an airplane stays in the air. In actuality, an airplane flies better on calm days than on windy ones! It is the act of lift, weight, thrust and Bernoulli's principle (though this principle isn't all that true, since airplanes are able to fly upside down and a model airplane with non-airfoil shaped wings can stay in the air just fine) that determines how an airplane is able to stay in the air.an airplane stays up in the air by the pressure above and below the wings...There is actually more than one force that enables an airplane to stay in the air: that is lift, weight and thrust. Weight has to be less than the force of lift and thrust combined to both get the airplane into the air and keep it in the air.
12 seconds
Planes stay up in the air due to the lift generated by their wings as they move through the air. The shape of the wings creates a pressure difference between the top and bottom surfaces, causing the plane to be pushed upward. This lift force counteracts the force of gravity, allowing the plane to stay airborne.
we are having a science fair at my school and I've been trying to figure out if an aluminum airplane stays in the air the longest.if so why?
The force that pushes an airplane wing up is called lift. Lift is generated by the difference in air pressure above and below the wing, created by the wing's shape and angle of attack. This force allows the airplane to overcome gravity and stay airborne.
through aerodynamics. The shape of the wing is built so that air passing underneath the wing has more pressure than that above it pushing the plane up.
No , a crumpled up airplane will have problems with the air not flowing smoothly across the wings .
about 12 seconds, if the paper airplane can fly it would stay up longer
