2 reliable engines and lots of fuel tanks. - The first true long distance aircraft was the Vickers Vimy bomber that British aviators Alcock and Brown flew across the north Atlantic in 1919.

Why do long distance aircraft choose to fly in the lower part of the stratosphere?

Because it doesn't have a bad weather and the air move horizontally


How long is the flight from Gatwick to Redhill?

Redhill Aerodrome is roughly 7 kilometers, or a bit over 4 miles, as the crow flies from Gatwick. There are obviously no commercial flights between the two. If you are talking about moving a light aircraft between the two sites you can use the distance and the speed of the aircraft to work it out how long it will take as the time clearly depends on how fast the aircraft can travel. But bear in mind that by taking the proper departure and approach paths you would be talking about a much longer distance than the straight line distance.

How does the shape of the wing of an airplane affect the distance a plane travels?

Airfoil – the curvature of a wing of an airplane determines how far a plane can travel control how aerodynamically efficient the plane is, in other words its fuel efficiency. Here’s how: 1. Lift and Drag: The concave upper part of a wing and its convex lower part work with a principle where air moves faster over the curved top and thus experience lesser pressure. By the same token, the wings‘ shape reduces the drag power that hinders forward movement through the air. 2. Aspect Ratio: Wider and thinner wings called low aspect ratio wings are useful at take off and landing while narrow and long wings or high aspect ratio wings are efficient for long distance flying, this is the reason that commercial airplanes have high aspect ratio wings. 3. Wing Design Features: Examples of what can be found in the wings of contemporary aircraft incorporate Wings – these may be winglets or a swept shape in a bid to minimize turbulence as well as minimizing drag so that the plane may travel a farther distance using less fuel. 4. Fuel Consumption: Consequently, planes with efficient wings designs have lesser drag and therefore although using similar fuel the plane is able to travel more distance. For all intent and purpose, the Wing Design dictates how well the plane will utilise Lifting Force and Fuel to counter Drag Forces, and thus, how far it will travel.


How long is the flight time from Glasgow to Toronto Ontario?

Lean to use this website, it estimates 6h hours assuming an aircraft cruising at 850km/h (550mph)You can also get the same result be taking the distance between the places, and dividing it be the cruise speed of your chosen aircraft

An aircraft can accelerate at a rate of 11m per s2 and can decelerate at a rate of 9m per s2 If the aircraft has a take-off velocity of 100m per s how long must the runway be?

The runway must be long enough for the aircraft to reach take-off velocity and then stop. We have to find out how much distance it takes the aircraft to reach 100 m/s and then stop. For this we can use the equation v2 = v02 + 2ax.To reach 100 m/s: 1002 = 2(11)x. Solving for x gives x = 454.5 so it takes 454.5 meters for the aircraft to reach 100m/s.To slow back down: 02 = 1002 + (2)(-9)x. Solving for x gives x = 555.5, so it takes the aircraft 555.5 m to stop.The total distance of the runway needs to be 454.5 + 555.5 = 1,010 m.
