Fixed-wing aircraft - Propeller aircraft: Encyclopedia - Fixed-wing aircraft

Fixed-wing aircraft is a term used to refer to what are more commonly known as airplanes in North American English and aeroplanes in Commonwealth English. An airplane is a heavier-than-air aircraft where movement of the wings in relation to the aircraft is not used to generate lift. All aircraft wings flex, and some aircraft have wings that can tilt, sweep back or fold, but if none of these movements are used to g ...

Fixed-wing aircraft - Propeller aircraft: Encyclopedia II - Fixed-wing aircraft - Conventional airplanes Conventional airplanes -- from small planes such as the Bumble Bee II and Cessna 140 to a gigantic Antonov 225 -- consist of a longitudinal fuselage, one or more wings to provide the majority of lift, a tailplane for stability, and a one or more vertical surfaces at the tail for stability. Fixed-wing aircraft - Fixed parts. Each wing is a single wing structure integrated into the fuselage of the aircraft. Sometimes, the half of a wing on either side of the fuselage is referred to as a wing, e.g. left ...

Fixed-wing aircraft - Propeller aircraft: Encyclopedia - Rocket

A rocket is a vehicle, missile or aircraft which obtains thrust by the reaction to the ejection of fast moving exhaust gas from within a rocket engine. Often the term rocket is also used to mean a rocket engine. In military terminology, a rocket generally uses solid propellant and is unguided. These rockets can be fired by ground-attack aircraft at fixed targets such as buildings, or can be launched by ground forces at other ground targets. During the Vietnam era, there were also air launched unguided rockets that ...

Fixed-wing aircraft - Propeller aircraft: Encyclopedia - Rotation

Rotation of a planar body is the movement when points of the body travel in circular trajectories around a fixed point called the center of rotation. For a three-dimensional body, the rotation is around an axis — it amounts to rotation in each plane perpendicular to the axis around the intersection of the plane and the axis. An example of rotation of a planar figure around a point is the movement of the propeller of an aircraft. A door attached to the wall by two or more hinges ro ...

Fixed-wing aircraft - Propeller aircraft: Encyclopedia - Autogyro

An autogyro (only an autogiro™ when produced by the Cierva Autogiro Company or one of its licensees (see below), sometimes called a gyroplane, gyrocopter™, or rotaplane) is an aircraft supported in flight by an unpowered rotor. Though the autogyro resembles a helicopter, it is driven in flight by an engine-powered propeller similar to that of an airplane. Often mistakenly characterized as a hybrid between an airplane and helicopter, the autogyro is a distinct type of aircraft that made its first success ...

Fixed-wing aircraft - Propeller aircraft: Encyclopedia - Aircraft carrier

An aircraft carrier is a warship whose main role is to deploy and recover aircraft—in effect acting as a sea-going airbase. Aircraft carriers thus allow a naval force to project air power great distances without having to depend on local bases for land-based aircraft. Modern navies, who operate such ships, treat aircraft carriers as the centerpiece of the fleet, a role previously played by the battleship. The change, part of the growth of air power as a significant part of warfare, took place during World War II. Unescorted carriers ...

Fixed-wing aircraft - Propeller aircraft: Encyclopedia - Wing

A wing is a surface used to produce an aerodynamic force normal to the direction of motion by travelling in air or another gaseous medium, facilitating flight. It is a specific form of airfoil. The first use of the word was for the foremost limbs of birds, but has been extended to include the wings of Insects, bats and pterosaurs; also man-made devices. A wing is an extremely efficient device for generating lift. Its aerodynamic quality, expressed as a Lift-to-drag ratio, can be up to 60 on some gliders and even more. Th ...

Fixed-wing aircraft - Propeller aircraft: Encyclopedia - Airliner

An airliner is a large fixed-wing aircraft (an aeroplane/airplane) initially designed for the transport of paying passengers, and usually operated by an airline company (which owns or leases the aircraft). There may be variants developed for freight or (luxury) corporate use. The definition of an airliner can vary from country to country, but typically, 20 or more passenger seats or an empty weight above 50,000 lb (22,680 kg) qualifies an aircraft as an airliner. Passenger aircraft with fewer than 20 passenger seats are called ...

The Mitsubishi A6M Zero was a light-weight carrier-based fighter aircraft employed by the Imperial Japanese Navy from 1940 to 1945. While the official Allied code name was Zeke (or Hamp for the A6M3 model 32 variant), it is universally known as Zero from its Japanese Navy designation, Type 0 Carrier Fighter (零式艦上戦闘機), taken from the Imperial year 2600 (1940). A combination of excellent maneuverability and very long range made it one of the best fighters of its era and gained it a legend ...

The 14-bis, also known as Oiseau de proie (French for "bird of prey"), was an early airplane designed and built by Brazilian inventor Alberto Santos-Dumont. In November 12 1906, in Bagatelle, France, it performed the first unaided flight by a heavier-than-air aircraft. Earlier flights, such as that made by the Wright Brothers had required favourable wind directions, catapults or other such devises to take off.

Fixed-wing aircraft - Propeller aircraft: Encyclopedia - Aviation history

Humanity's desire to fly probably dates to the first time prehistoric man observed birds, an observation illustrated in the legendary story of Daedalus and Icarus. Daedalus was trapped on the island of Minos, and so built wings out of feathers and wax for himself and his son. His son Icarus flew too close to the sun and the wax melted -- the wings were destroyed and he fell to the sea, and to his death. The legend was designed to be a cautionary tale about attempting to reach heaven, similar to the Tower of Babel story in The B ...
