What else can I help you with?
What are the two basic control surfaces on airplane wings?
Ailerons and flaps
What do flaps help an airplane do?
An airplanes having the flaps in wings as it helps the plane to give or to produce a additional lift.
How can the shape of wings be changed during flight?
The shape of airplane wings can be changed during flight by adding ailerons and flaps.
How do you make a airplane?
You will need 1 paper and fold it hotdog then do to flaps then seal it then make wings!!
Are the flaps on a big airplane extended by jackscrews in those pods on the bottom rear of the wings?
No, by hydraulic rams.
What are the parts of an airplane and what are their functions?
jet engine, thrust reverser,ruder,elevators,flaps,
What is the function of a flaps of an airplane?
Flaps add more curvature to the wings and therefore add lots of lift, useful when the aircraft is flying slowly to land, or accelarating to take off.
Which airplane can land on the smallest area?
STOL aircraft land on the smallest area. They have specially shaped wings and very large flaps.
Are airplane wings hydraulic or pneumatic?
Airplane wings primarily utilize hydraulic systems for various functions, such as controlling flaps and slats. Hydraulic systems are preferred because they can exert greater force and control with precision, which is crucial for maneuvering the aircraft. Pneumatic systems, while used in some applications, are generally less common in wing operations. Therefore, the main systems involved in wing functions are hydraulic rather than pneumatic.
What are the parts of an airplane?
fuselage wings ailerons flaps landing gear tail vertical stabilizer horizontal stabilizer rudder elevators engine
What are the purposes of the slats and flaps of an airplane's wings?
Slats and flaps increase drag and also increaselift. The increase in drag slows the aircraft down, and the increase in lift lowers the stall speed, which slows the landing speed of the aircraft.
Why do planes have flaps on the wings?
Airplane wings are designed to be most efficient when at high altitudes, traveling fast, while providing as little drag as possible. Unfortunately this design inst the best for takeoff and landing. Flaps are used to change the shape of the wing to accommodate takeoff and landing requirements. Most planes have flaps on the front of the wings (leading edge flaps) and at the back of the wings. During takeoff flaps increase lift so a plane can take off with limited runway length and lower speeds. As the plane gains speed the flaps are retracted. On approach and landing you want to fly as slow as possible so the flaps are deployed in increments till landing speed is achieved. Landing slower means less runway needed to stop.
