What is drag on a plane?
drag is minimized by aerofoil shape. drag is a force acts on aircraft to minimize speed
What would happen if the earth was plane?
we would all obviously die
What is the drag force caused by on a plane?
The drag force on a plane is caused by air resistance as the plane moves through the air. This resistance is due to the friction between the air molecules and the surface of the plane, which opposes the plane's forward motion.
What would happen if a plane did not have a wing?
If the plane was in air, it will tip over and most likely crash.
A streamline plane is one that has little what?
Drag
Does the elevator on a plane create drag?
Yes, the elevator on a plane creates drag when it is deflected up or down to change the aircraft's pitch. This drag results from the increased air resistance due to the elevator's angle of attack.
Do the flaps on a plane affect how fast the plane flies?
yes. the flaps increase drag which slows the plane down.
What would happen to an plane at 7 miles?
it would taxi. (drive like a car.)
What forces are acting on the plane?
The main forces acting on a plane in flight are lift, weight, thrust, and drag. Lift is produced by the wings, opposing the weight of the plane. Thrust is provided by the engines, moving the plane forward and countering drag, which is the aerodynamic force slowing the plane down.
What is the flape on the plane and how do they help the plane?
the flaps on a plane increase drag and they create lift so the piolt can fly the plane at a lower speed.
What causes drag on an airplane?
Two things: first, friction between the outside of the plane and the air it's passing through. Second, turbulence in the air will drag on the plane.
What would happen if you were on a plane and had no weight to you?
If you were on a plane and had no weight to you you would float in the plane like there was no gravity, even though there is but if the plane was angled precisely you can float in the plane as if gravity was turned off. But this only lasts a few minutes as you come closer to land.
