How do planes maneuver?
the wing flaps go up and down
What does the planes tail of the plane do?
It helps the plane balance. And on the planes tail it has two flaps on each side, and when these flaps go up it lifts the tail and the plane goes down, and when the flaps go down then then plane goes up.
Do aircraft carriers launch off planes?
The planes take-off with a catipulte but they have to be light planes nothing to heavy. Then the plane goes into full throtle flaps up then takes-off
Why have you got big flaps?
coz its luke harris's bday
What is the difference between planes and insects?
planes are bigger than insects. insects are smaller than planes.
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.
What moves flaps in an airplane?
Usually hydraulic rams in larger planes, but in model aircraft, it is electronic servo motors connected to push rods.
If planes flaps down does plane ascecnd?
Not necessarily, flaps are used to increase surface area of the wing thus producing more lift and slowing it down but at low speeds of about 135 knots/240MPH it's effect is very minor on the speed.
WType of engine in aircraft?
Smaller planes have piston engines, but bigger planes like the Boeing 717-777 and other planes have turbine engines
Why are plane crashes more common on private planes?
they are smaller and have less power and a smaller engine.
How pearl harbor got attacked?
by planes
Do airplane need flaps to fly?
They don't really need them to fly. However they are very useful for keeping a plane flying when you slow it down on landing and using flaps on take of means that you reach flying speed at a lower speed. The runways would have to be a lot longer if planes had to land and take of without flaps because they would have to land flat out at air speed.
