What is a plane?
A plane has several quite different meanings. A plane isA tree, otherwise known as a SycamoreA flat surface, more often conceptual than physicalA tool for smoothing a piece of woodOne of the lifting surfaces of an airplane - usually the tail-plane (aka horizontal stabiliser) or the wing (sometimes called main-plane)A level of thought or existenceA short form of airplane (q.v.). Strictly this one should be written 'plane not plane.
What does an elevator on a plane do?
An elevator on a airplane are tabs on the tail that control its up and down motion in the air
Can 4 vectors not in a plane give zero resultant?
Yes if you put them "head to tail" and the head of the fourth one points to the tail of the first one the resultant is zero.
Methods for finding the resultant vector?
You can add vectors graphically, by drawing them head-to-tail. Algebraically, you can separate them into components (for example, in two dimensions, the horizontal and the vertical component), then add those.
What does the elevater do on a plane?
It changes the profile of the wing and so changes the lift. If the same change is applied to both wings the plane will gain or lose height. If opposite changes are applied, one wing will drop, the other will rise and the plane will turn.
Which parts of the plane create lift?
The wings and horizontal tail surfaces create lift.
What do elevators on a plane do?
A hinged horizontal surface on an airplane or the like, used to control the longitudinal inclination and usually placed at the tail end of the fuselage.
What is the horizontal part of an airplane tail called?
It is called the horizontal stabilizer. The elevators are mounted on the tail end of it.
Which body plane divides the body into the cephalad and caudad parts?
The transverse plane divides the body into the cephalad (head) and caudad (tail) parts. This plane runs horizontally and perpendicular to the long axis of the body.
How do you use the word horizontal in a sentence?
A horizontal line runs from side to side, while a vertical line extends up and down. The horizontal stabilizer is mounted on the tail of a plane and provides stability in level flight. In portrait mode, an image or display is narrower in horizontal measurement.
Where are the elevators on a plane?
on the tail of the plane
Do sharks or whales have a horizontal tail?
whales are the ones that have a horizontal tail with all the sea mammals. sharks and every sea creature has a vertical tail for every sea creature that breaths with the gillsilts.
Does a plane have 5 engines?
A plane which has 2engines on their wings 1 is also in the Tail of the Plane same with if a planes wings had 4 engines it also has one in the Tail of the Plane
Is there an airplane tail without a stabeliser?
Most airplanes have fixed tail surfaces known as either a horizontal stabilizer or vertical stabilizer. The horizontal stabilizer has an attached moveable surface called an elevator while the vertical stabilizer has an attached moveable surface called a rudder. On certain airplane models, such as the Piper Cherokee or Cessna Cardinal, the entire horizontal tail is a one-piece surface that rotates and performs the function of both the horizontal stabilizer and elevator. Combining the words stabilizer and elevator, this type of control is known as a stabilator. Elevators, stabilators, and rudders, generally have another small moveable control piece on the trailing edge known as a trim tab. Most trim tabs can be adjusted by the pilot in flight to cause the control surface, to which it is attached, to stay slightly deflected in a particular direction, relieving the pilot of having to apply control forces during stabilized flight. Some trim tabs, such as rudder trim tabs on many small airplanes, must be adjusted on the ground and cannot be adjusted in flight. Some airplane designs do not require any stabilizers or control surfaces on the tail. The canard design places a horizontal stabilizer and elevator, or a stabilator, near the front of the airplane and vertical stabilizers and rudders on the tips of the main wing. The main wing is located near the rear of the airplane. The canard design is more efficient in flight than a conventional airplane design, since both the wing and horizontal stabilizer produce lift in flight. In a conventional airplane design, with stabilizers on the tail, the horizontal stabilizer produces a downward force during flight to provide stability, reducing the overall efficiency.
What is the movable horizontal piece on the tail of the airplane?
radar
Why does the back of a plane have three points?
The tail of the typical airplane is made up of two horizontal wings which are called the horizontal stabilizers. the have flaps in the back of them that will stabilize the attitude of the plane at varying speeds. without it it would never get of the ground or stay in the air. The wing that points upwards is the vertical stabilizer and can be compared to the keel on a boat it will control the direction that the plain is pointed in.
What was sticking out of the lake after the tornado in the hatchet book?
The plane that Brain and the pilot transported with.
