Problems with airplane flight
Thread Content
Lift is generated due to velocity, but what causes velocity? Is it the thrust reverse of the turbine engine? When transporting a substance of the same weight, which requires more energy: overcoming air resistance or overcoming the resistance of the highway surface?
1. Speed is generated by acceleration. 2. Overcoming the resistance of the highway surface requires more energy, as there is always rolling friction between the vehicle and the surface.
It should be that overcoming air resistance requires more energy; an airplane moving through the air operates in a similar way to a ship sailing on water. When an airplane is flying at high speeds, air resistance is very high.
Discussing these is too complex; it seems like we’re straying from the topic.
