What keeps an air plane up in the air?
An airplane stays up in the air due to a combination of factors. The main factor is the shape of the wings, which creates lift as air flows over and under them. The engines also provide thrust to move the plane forward, and the overall design of the plane helps maintain stability and control during flight.
What is a pair of numbers used to locate a point on a coordinate plane?
Why are two numbers necessary to locate points on a coordinate plane?
What parts of a plane help to maintain its lift?
Bernoulli's Principal is as the speed of a fluid (liquid or gad) increases the pressure of the fluid decreases. The shape of an airplane wing causes the air to move faster over the top of the wing, thus lifting the wing up.
What is the top of a rectangular prism called?
It is simply called its top.
What kind of inclined plane does your car take to the top of a mountain?
uphill grade
How does the speed on an airplane help it fly?
The flow of air over the top surface of the wings provides the lift that holds the plane aloft. The greater the velocity of the flow of air over the wings, the greater the lift. If the plane slows down sufficiently, and the flow of air is reduced enough, there will not be enough lift to hold the plane aloft, and it will begin to fall. When that occurs, it is called a "stall."
Why does a plane stay up in the air?
The top is rounded in a way and the bottom is flat. This makes lift. That is how a plane stays up in the air.
How do planes work?
Airplanes use the principals of aerodynamics. Flight requires two things, thrust and lift. Thrust is the forward motion provided by a propeller or jet engine. Lift is when air meets the wing. The air splits into two streams, the top and the bottom. This forces the plane to fly.
What is the mechanism called for lift top coffee tables?
cantilever hinge
Why does a plane have a nose?
it's called areodynamics. When you throw it, the nose evens out the air on the top and bottom of the plane.
What does a plane need to make it fly?
A plane needs lift, which is generated by airflow over the wings, to fly. This lift must overcome the force of gravity acting on the plane. Additionally, thrust from the engines provides the forward motion needed for the plane to stay in the air. Finally, control surfaces such as ailerons, rudders, and elevators are used to maneuver the plane in the air.
What is a plane with two wings one above the other is a?
A plane with two wings, one on top of each other is called a BI-PLANE.
How does the shape of the airfoil change the way planes fly?
The top is curved, so the wind moves faster on top. therefore, there is a lower pressure on top, and he plane is sucked upwards. this lift counters gravity/weight. The amount of curve also changes the lift, as does the amount of wing space.
Why are airplanes wings not flat?
Airplane wings are designed with a curved shape, called an airfoil, to help generate lift. The curved shape allows air to flow faster over the top of the wing, creating lower pressure above the wing compared to below, which results in lift. If the wings were flat, they would not be as efficient at generating lift.
What is the device called that takes you onto the top of a mountain when you're about to ski?
Ski lift....?
Im building an RC plane and I was wondering about the following Is it possible to have too much lift in an RC plane Does it matter how long the wings are and thinckness etc What is thebestwingshape?
It is possible to have too much lift. If you have too much lift and not enough forward momentum then it wont fly. Depending on the motor size the length of the wing has to be about as long as the main body of the plane itself. best wing shape is flat on the bottom and a hump on top.
What features does a plane need to take off?
A plane requires something which will create a force called lift.Lift is a force which overcomes the weight (due to gravity) of the plane and allows it to fly.To keep things simple, as a plane accelerates down the runway air passes over its wings. The wings are shaped so that the air that passes over the top of the wing has to travel a slightly further distance in the same amount of time as that which passes under the wing. This means that the air above the wing travels faster and due to the laws of physics this creates lower pressure above than below the wing. This creates lift and makes the plane want to rise into the air.When the plane is travelling at sufficient speed so that enough lift is generated, the pilot pulls back on the yoke (the control), which is known as "rotating", and the nose raises off of the ground and the plane climbs into the air.So the fundamental answer to your question is that a plane needs something which will cause lift (wings) and something which will allow it to travel fast enough so that the needed amount of lift can be generated (engines which produce thrust).
