From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. A fixed-wing aircraft, typically called an airplane, aeroplane or plane, is an aircraft capable of flight using forward motion that generates lift as the wing moves through the air. Planes include jet engine and propeller driven vehicles propelled forward by thrust, as well as unpowered aircraft (such as gliders). Fixed-wing aircraft are distinct from ornithopters in which lift is generated by flapping wings and rotary-wing aircraft in which wings rotate about a fixed mast. In Britain and most of the Commonwealth the term "aeroplane" is used. The word derives from the Greek αέρας (aéras-) ("air") and -plane., while in the United States and Canada the term "airplane" is applied to these aircraft. The form "aeroplane" is the older of the two, dating back to the mid-late 19th century. The spelling "airplane" was first recorded in 1907. Most fixed-wing aircraft are flown by a pilot on board the aircraft, but some are designed to be remotely or computer controlled. From Wikipedia under the

From Google News Search: "aeroplane" i want a website so i can fly aeroplane? Q. is there any website that can teache me to fly aeroplane, i mean to try it? Asked by sup-dudes? - Fri Apr 11 14:31:55 2008 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments A. There's more to learn in flying an aircraft than any website alone could teach you. I agree with the others; it is impossible to learn without instruction from a certified instructor. There is no way to describe it other than you have to learn the "feel" of an airplane; not possible to do with just a computer.

Asked by Aiq - Fri May 9 02:41:00 2008 - - 9 Answers - 0 Comments A. For the first few decades of flight, aircraft engines used the same kind of gasoline as automobiles. As airplane engines became more powerful, however, gasoline wasn't the best choice. Most gas in the early 1900s had octane ratings of 87 or less. While that was enough for a car to work, airplane engines needed a higher octane grade. Fuel is rated according to its level of octane. The octane rating of gasoline tells how much the fuel can be compressed by the cylinders before it ignites. The higher the octane, the more compression it can handle before igniting. Higher octane levels allow engines to burn fuel more efficiently, rather than "knock," which indicates engine strain and potential damage. Merely increasing the octane wasn't enough… [cont.] Answered by Kay. - Fri May 9 03:06:56 2008 Why are aeroplane vapour trails in the sky so common in London, yet we don't see them in Australia?
Q. This question is asked from the perspective of a person standing on the ground, looking up. Asked by Nikita (Australian) - Wed May 7 19:08:05 2008 - - 10 Answers - 0 Comments A. Contrails are long "trails" water condensation (con-trails), caused by the relatively warm air coming from the jets of large aircraft. How much condensation results from an aircraft depend on a few factors, but chiefly air temperature and humidity. Note that earlier I mentioned "relatively warm air". While contrails are indeed common throughout australia, they may be a little less pronounced due to Austrlalian atmospheric conditions, but they will be there if you're in the right spot. The temperature at 30,000 feet is generally cold enough to produce contrails. Also, London is in the flight path between Europe and the United States, so while aircraft departing heathrow will have insufficient altitude to produce the effect, those… [cont.] Answered by Fluffy - Wed May 7 21:54:01 2008 From Yahoo Answer Search: "aeroplane" |
