Can different wing designs have more lift? Flying is one of the things that can terrify most people, but there is nothing really to be afraid of while flying. In a car, you have a lower chance of death or injury on an airplane, than in a car. Airplanes need something called lift to stay in the air, air is also needed because without air there would be no air resistance, or drag to hold the airplane in the air. Lift is a very important part for an airplane, lift on the airplane is generated by every part on the outside of the airplane. Lift is a force, that is mechanical, anything that flies must have aerodynamics to fly. An airplane must be going a certain amount of speed to stay in the air, an airplane must generate continuous power, to keep the airplane moving above its required speed. …show more content…

Today airplanes have engines that can keep it up to its needed speed. Airplanes started showing up around World War I, and had a significant use on the battle field, but they were made from week materials like; wood, rope, metal wire, and canvas. Today airliners, fighter jets, cargo carriers, and a large majority of airplanes today are made from hardened aluminum, because aluminum is a lightweight metal, titanium, a strong light weight metal. Aluminum is the outer skin of an airplane, it has a large electrical protection to the

Germany kept advancing its technology until it matched Britain, who was able to consistently match and fend off Germany’s shiny new weapons.

    The process of the jet engine is very similar to the car engines. They use a liquid fuel which combines with air to produce a chemical reaction that leads into the production of another kind of energy-force that pushes forward the vehicle. The difference between the jet engine and the car engine is that in the former the energy from the fuel is converted into thrust, while in the latter the energy coming from the fuel converts into kinetics energy or rotational energy to move the tires of the car.

  • Aerodynamic Principles Of Flapping Wing

    1324 Words  | 6 Pages

    Aerodynamic Principles of Flapping Wings The aerodynamic principles of the aircraft with flapping wings or the ornithopters are different from the principles of the normal aircraft (in which the wings are fixed). For the normal aircraft, there is only one component or one source of the airflow passing through the aerofoil which is the airflow that caused by the forward motion of the aircraft. It acts in the direction that is parallel to the flight path but in the opposite direction. In this case, the force that acts perpendicular to the airflow will be equal to the lift force.
