What is a mast?
Those tall poles on sailing ships that are responsible for holding the sails aloft.
When the term light and variable'''' is used in reference to a Winds Aloft Forecast the coded group and windspeed is?
9900 and less than 5 knots.
Is rectangle a kite?
Not usually. Rectangles don't fly well at all. Several modifications would have to be made to a rectangle (tails, bows, etc.) in order for it to stay aloft as a kite. The necessary changes would make it look a lot like a triangle or diamond shape. A rectangle and a kite are both 4 sided quadrilaterals
What Bible verses mention the sun?
There are far too many biblical references to the sun to list them all. The following are some significant ones:Genesis 1:14-18 - God created a great light in the skyGenesis 32:31 - After Jacob wrestled all night with a stranger at a place he called Peniel because he had seen God face to face, the sun rose upon him.Genesis 37:9 - Jacob dreamed that the sun, moon and stars made obeisance to him.Exodus 17:12 - The Israelites could only prevail over the Amelek as long as Moses held up his hand, so Aaron and Hur helped him hold his hand aloft until the sun went down.Joshua 10:12-13 - Joshua commanded the sun and moon to stand still until the battle was over.Ezekiel 8:16 - which condemns those among the Jews who worshipped the sun god from the Jerusalem Temple.Malachi 4:2 - which talks of the Sun of righteousness who will arise with healing in his wings.
What was the record for distance and time aloft for a manned glider in 1900?
over 1300 feet and it lasted 12 to 15 seconds
How does weight affect a glider?
Weight affects a glider by influencing its performance in terms of lift and glide ratio. The heavier the glider, the faster it will sink and the more lift it will need to stay aloft. Maintaining an optimal weight allows for better control and maneuverability during flight.
How does a plane fly with no engine?
A plane with no engine is a glider. They use the air currents to stay aloft.
What is a gliders?
A glider is a light engineless aircraft designed to glide after being towed aloft or launched from a catapult. A glider is also a species of small possum, native to Australia. As its name suggests, it is capable of gliding through the air.
What is the record of most paper airplanes made in one hour?
There have been many attempts over the years to break the barriers of throwing a paper plane for the longest time aloft. Ken Blackburn held this Guinness World Record for 13 years (1983-1996) and had regained the record on October 1998 by keeping his paper plane aloft for 27.6 seconds (indoors). This was confirmed by Guinness officials and a CNN report.[2] The paper plane that Blackburn used in this record breaking attempt was a "glider".
What is the best wing design for a long distance glider?
If you are speaking of a paper glider, obviously you want wings that are large for maximum lift. Many record setting paper planes are made using a square shaped wing that allows the wing to have maximum surface area to maintain lift but which is not flimsy, so as the plane's stability in flight is maintained. There are two sites below worth your consideration. The first is a brief instructional on making a highly effective paper glider. The second is the homepage of Dr. Ken Blackburn who holds the world record for time aloft by a paper airplane. He offers several patterns for public use.
Soaring birds and glider pilots can remain aloft for hours without expending power How do they do it?
They ride in "thermals," updrafts of air.
What is the name of an aircraft that flies without an engine?
A glider is an aircraft with no engine. They are usually launched by being towed aloft by airplanes and are then released.
What is the single most important factor in tow plane performance?
It is thrust that is the number one concern regarding the tow plane. In an aerotow of a glider, the towing aircraft must drag both itself and the glider aloft. Both ships have "nominal" lift, but it will be the thrust of the towplane that will be critical. Should an advertising sign be wanted aloft, then the towplane will simply have to "muscle" it into the sky. And it takes thrust to do that.
What is a gliders best shape?
A glider's best shape is typically long and narrow with a curved wing design to generate lift and reduce drag. This shape helps the glider stay aloft for longer periods and allows it to glide efficiently through the air. Smooth, aerodynamic contours also contribute to the glider's performance.
Can an airplane fly without an engine?
If an airplanes engines fail in flight, the plane can glide for a distance ( depending on it's altitude ), but gravity will eventually bring it down.While most manned airplanes have engines,there are a variety of airplanes that are designed to fly without an engine:sailplane, hang glider, paraglider.Such aircraft can theoretically stay aloft indefinitely in several ways:* towed by a ground vehicle or a powered aircraft* tethered to the ground, with wind (like a kite)* taking advantage of updrafts and ridge lift to gain altitude
What is the distance between Aloft Montreal Airport hotel and Montreal airport?
Less than a mile.
