Can a passenger plane hover?
Not unless it's in a headwind greater than the plane's stall speed.
What speed do planes need to go to stay in the air?
The speed a airplane needs to go to stay in the air, depends on the plane. Each plane has different factors, such as weight, manureverability and the conditions which it is flying in.In general, the speed a plane needs to stay at, is the level of it's "Stall Speed". A "Stall", is when a airplanes engine/propeller stops moving. This gradually slows down the aircraft, which then will bring the plane lower and lower. Also the planes "Flaps", the parts of their wings that can tilt, can change the speed and how long it will travel until it will come to ground level.Google Stall Speed and the plane you are inquiring about to get the exact figures.
How fast can a jet plane travel per hour at slow speed?
It depends on weight, wing span stall speed
What type of plane is jetfire?
SR-71 Blackbird
What is the speed of an airplane in the air?
The top speed of an airplane can vary by the model of the plane. The highest speed ever reached was 2,193 miles per hour by an SR-71 Blackbird in 1976.
What plane built by skunk work broke on march 3?
The Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird, with a cruising speed of Mach 3.2.
A jet plane traveling at a speed of 82 miles per hour is traveling at what speed in meters per second?
Apart from the fact that a jet plane would stall at that low a speed, the speed is equivalent to 36.657 metres per sec
How fast does the fastest plane in the world go?
I believe it is the SR-71 Blackbird, it goes about mach 3.2 or three times the speed of sound.
Can airplanes stop in air?
An airplane can have zero ground speed if the wind is going faster then the stall speed of the plane. Some planes made for the military also have thrust vectoring that is capable of allowing the plane to hover.
Are there planes that can travel faster than the speed of sound?
yes, the fastest plane in the world, the Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird, can reach speeds of up to three times the speed of sound.
How fast can a plane go?
The fastest plane was the Blackbird and it flew at 2500 mph.
What is the fatest plane in the world?
the SR-71 blackbird
