OThe Physics of Airplanes Background: At any given moment‚ roughly 5‚000 airplanes crisscross the skies above the United States alone‚ amounting to an estimated 64 million commercial and private takeoffs every year (source: NATCA). Considering the rest of the world ’s flight activity‚ the grand total is almost incalculable. In order to understand how airplanes fly‚ we must break down the parts of an airplane and understand the physics behind the airplanes most important components: the engine/propeller

Controlled Assessment – Helicopters You need to research information (using the internet) that includes answers for the following questions: 1. How the turning rotor makes a helicopter move upwards 2. How the rotor is made to turn in a helicopter and in an autogyro 3. How autorotation is used to help land a helicopter safely if the engine fails 4. Why a helicopter; falling during autorotation‚ could reach a terminal speed without the pilot changing any controls 5. The effect of the weight of

This is caused by exceeding the critical angle of attack (angle of attack is the angle between the relative wind and the chord line of the airfoil). Below the critical angle‚ airflow over the wing surface is relatively smooth. Above the critical angle‚ the thin layer of air above the wing‚ or "boundary layer‚" becomes turbulent and separates from the airfoil (Dole and Lewis‚ 53). Lift is destroyed and drag increases‚ causing the aircraft to rapidly lose altitude. Pilots are trained to recover from

Jebakumar Centre for Military Airworthiness and Certification‚ Marathalli Colony‚ Bangaluru- 560 037 ABSTRACT An aircraft is designed based on various wind tunnel testing‚ computational analysis‚ previous design experience etc. In most of the aircraft programs the design objective could not be met with the first prototype design itself. Before the

Aerodynamics General aerodynamics Paper aircraft are a class of model plane‚ and so do not experience aerodynamic forces differently from other types of flying model. However‚ their construction material produces a number of dissimilar effects on flight performance in comparison with aircraft built from different materials. In general‚ there are four aerodynamic forces that act on the paper aircraft while it is in flight: • Thrust‚ which keeps the plane moving forward; • Aerodynamic lift

6.3.1 Fabrication of Wing Structure: The wing the main components of RC as it is the part that is responsible for the lift and all the aerodynamic forces‚ angle of attack‚ Lift etc. are the depended on the Wing. For better lift‚ the wing structure should be better. 6.3.2 Structural Design The large Wingspan means aero elasticity influences on aerodynamics and especially on dynamic stability and control. In order to minimize such interferences and movements in the solar array‚ the wing should have

Blade Element Theory Prof. Dr. Mustafa Cavcar Anadolu University‚ School of Civil Aviation Eskisehir‚ Turkey mcavcar@anadolu.edu.tr The simple momentum theory provides an initial idea regarding the performance of a propeller but not sufficient information for the detailed design. Detailed information can be obtained through analysis of the forces acting on a blade element like it is a wing section. The forces acting on a small section of the blade are determined and then integrated over

Aircraft Design Project Introduction You have designed a launch vehicle to insert a satellite into orbit . You now need a means to transport that satellite from your factory to the launch site. A cargo jet aircraft is the most likely candidate‚ though it may have to be unusual in size and shape because of the weight and shape envelope of the satellite design. Speed is not critically important but range is. Since the aerospace industry has become truly an international business it would be advisable

How The Turning Rotor Makes A Helicopter Move Upwards How Does A Helicopter Work? In order to fly‚ an object must have "lift." Lift is what pushes something up. Lift is made by wings. Wings have a curved shape on top and are flatter on the bottom. That shape makes air flow over the top faster than under the bottom. The faster air on top of the wing makes suction on the top of the wing and the wing moves up. Airplanes get lift from their wings. A helicopter’s rotor blades are spinning wings. A helicopter
