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.
Why more lift is required when landing?
During landing, the purpose is to slow down the aircraft's ground speed as slow as you can without it stalling. You want to maintain Lift, not necessarily get more lift. At higher speeds, the aircraft has plenty of Lift. However during landing, the speed is slower and the angle of attack is increased to provide more Lift at lower speeds.
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.
Can aircraft goods be offloaded in mid air?
In many cases military aircraft with a stern ramp can off-load goods in mid air. Some have parachutes and others have special landing sleds. During the 1960's British and American air forces learned to drop vehicles and large cargo pallettes while the aircraft skimmed over the 'drop zone' without landing.
What is landing gear and why does this important in aircraft maintenance?
The landing gear are the black things under an airplane that normal people call wheels. They let the plane roll to a stop without having to make a belly landing and damage the rest of the plane. In maintenance, it is important because of its critical function and the high stresses exerted on the landing gear.
What two Apollo missions objective was to orbit the moon without landing?
Apollo 8, the mission that went to the Moon without a Lunar Module to test its capabilities in Lunar orbit. Apollo 10, the mission that took the Lunar Module and had to test the mission abort procedure as the astronauts were flying the first stages of the descent, with no intentions of landing.
What is an aircraft without fixed wings?
A helicopter is an aircraft without fixed wings. Helicopters can also be known as rotorcraft.
Is there an emergency vehicle used if a plane is in trouble in the air?
Not exactly. On occasion another aircraft may rendezvous with an aircraft having problems, for example, to see if landing gear are properly extended and locked. Generally speaking, however, other aircraft are kept away from the one in trouble so that the pilot can concentrate on emergency procedures without having to worry about about avoiding someone flying nearby.
India's first combat aircraft without Indian pilot?
HAL Tejas is the first combat aircraft without indian pilot.
Are the brakes used while landing a plane?
Yes. While it's certainly possible to roll to a stop eventually without braking, the amounts of land and concrete pavement required for runways has been reduced significantly by the use of aircraft brakes.
Procedure of watch glass?
