What is the flight path of a landing aircraft in the direction of the runway on center line called?
It's called 'flaring to a landing,' where the nose of the aircraft is brought up, raising angle of attack, lowering airspeed, until the main gear gently touch down on the runway. When speaking exclusively of that portion of the landing path, an aircraft is said to be 'flaring' or 'in the flair.'
Why did the crew drop ropes from the aircraft when it was landing?
The crew dropped ropes from the aircraft when it was landing because they were doing a routine landing.
What is belly landing?
A belly landing is a landing of an aircraft without the landing gear being deployed.
What is a belly landing?
A belly landing is a landing of an aircraft without the landing gear being deployed.
What is the angle of the discus landing sector?
the angle for the discus landing sector is 0.4532
Where is landing gear actuator located in aircraft?
On the Landing gear
When must landing gear be deployed?
Prior to the LANDING of the aircraft to which it is attached.
Which one is higher landing speed or take off speed of an aircraft?
landing
What is the landing speed of fighter jet on an aircraft carrier?
"The landing system on an aircraft carrier can stop a 54,000 pound airplane traveling at 150 mph in two seconds." Also, the aircraft carrier is often moving away from the landing aircraft (allowing a greater true air speed for the landing airplane.) Suppose the aircraft carrier is going 15 mph, then the 54,000 pound aircraft can land at a true airspeed of 165 mph.
What is the purpose of retracting landing gear's pivot?
When the landing gear retracts, it is very important for aerodynamics that they retract into the body of the aircraft as much as possible. However, placement of the landing gear depends ultimately on factors such as the aircraft's center of gravity, its weight, its possible fuel load and much more, there may not be a good locaction in the aircraft for the wheels to rectract fully without some kind of articulation. As a result, aircraft designers often must come up with some pretty interesting solutions to enable to landing gear to be retracted fully into a space that is otherwise unused in the aircraft. Often in order for the landing gear to retract into its well, the wheel trucks may have to be rotated or pivoted. Large aircraft in particular often have multiple wheels for each of the landing gear. It is particularly difficult to design a retraction system for these as the wheel trucks may be very large and ungainly. Some large aircraft have the ability to pivot the landing gear to one direction or another for landing. This is done to increase the aircraft's capacity to land in cross-winds. In a strong cross-wind the aircraft may not be able to land gracefully pointed straight down the runway, and so the landing gear may be off-set one direction or another to allow the aircraft to land with a slight crab-angle.
Where can one buy an aircraft landing lights?
Aircraft landing lights are key to takeoff and landing, and should always be working and checked prior to takeoff. Replacement lights can be purchased from Amglo and XEVision.
