  2. Spin (aerodynamics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spin_(aerodynamics)

    Agricultural airplanes are typically certificated in the normal category at a moderate weight. For single-engine airplanes this requires successful demonstration of the one-turn spin. However, with the agriculture hopper full these airplanes are not intended to be spun, and recovery is unlikely.

  3. Aircraft flight dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aircraft_flight_dynamics

    For an aircraft that is symmetric from right-to-left, the frames can be defined as: Body frame Origin - airplane center of gravity; x b axis - positive out the nose of the aircraft in the plane of symmetry of the aircraft; z b axis - perpendicular to the x b axis, in the plane of symmetry of the aircraft, positive below the aircraft

  4. Aircraft flight mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aircraft_flight_mechanics

    Aircraft flight mechanics are relevant to fixed wing (gliders, aeroplanes) and rotary wing (helicopters) aircraft.An aeroplane (airplane in US usage), is defined in ICAO Document 9110 as, "a power-driven heavier than air aircraft, deriving its lift chiefly from aerodynamic reactions on surface which remain fixed under given conditions of flight".

  5. Why airlines are all-in on new single-aisle planes for ... - AOL

    These planes are popular with airlines because they can connect profitable cities that previously required a high-capacity wide-body plane like the Boeing 767 or Airbus A330.

  6. Flight control surfaces - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flight_control_surfaces

    A raised aileron reduces lift on that wing and a lowered one increases lift, so moving the aileron control in this way causes the left wing to drop and the right wing to rise. This causes the aircraft to roll to the left and begin to turn to the left. Centering the control returns the ailerons to the neutral position, maintaining the bank angle ...

    Planes can withstand the weather. Next time you’re flying through turbulence, look out the window at the wing. You’ll notice it flexing. It’s supposed to do that.

  8. Why some airlines' planes fly slower than others - AOL

    This would make the Spirit plane slower to climb with a slower cruising speed, he said. Spirit Airlines aircrafts are shown at the George Bush Intercontinental Airport on August 05, 2021 in ...

  9. Go-around - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Go-around

    When the pilot is instructed or decides to go around, the pilot applies full thrust or a predetermined TOGA (Takeoff and Go Around) thrust to the engine(s), adopts an appropriate climb attitude and airspeed, raises the landing gear when the airplane has achieved a positive climb rate, retracts the flaps as necessary, follows the instructions of the control tower (in controlled airspace), and ...
