HTOL and VTOL

Did yu know about terms HTOL and VTOL in relation with aircrafts?

-horizontal take off and landing.
normal aircraft which require some space to land and take off.

-vertical take off and landing.
It doesn't require any space to promote take off as well as landing, helicopter is a good example for this type.

Is it safe to land an aeroplane on water, in case of an emergency ?

--It's not safe under all circumstances.

--.A procedure called ditching is possible under some conditions.

--It's safe to land the crippled plane on water surface.

Which of these statements were correct ?







well the second one is the correct answer, there is a procedure called ditching is readily available in the cockpit in form of an emergency manual to instruct the pilots what to do in an emergency situation, its really a  tough and dangerous  procedure in reality,  keep in mind that always ditch the plane near land surface or near large sea vessels , do not try to ditch the plane against the rough surface of the water such as against waves , the technique is we have to srteamline our aircraft and try to hit the water as slow as possible with all ur possible sources , just like an ordinary landing. for more information and other technical aspects, just ask me.

Principles involving lift of an aircraft

Did you knw which of these principles were applied in relation with lift of an airworthiness aircraft?
--Newtons third law.

--Archimedes buoyancy principle.

Which of these statements were correct ?


Ok, both of these principles were essential for any airplane to stay fit to fly. For a steady flight  we have to equal the four aerodynamic forces exerted on aircraft, say thrust, drag , lift and weight of an aircraft.
that's how archimedes principle helps us to equal the weight and lift, and of course we all know the newtons third law, consider the remaining two aerodynamic forces, ACTION= THRUST therefore REACTION=DRAG, simple isin't it  ?
The second image shows a special aerofoil shape gives us the required pressure difference around the wings to achieve more lift.

Am i wrong, well i've completed aeronautics back in 2010, so may be i've forgotten somethings, i too a learner, your suggestions were always welcome friends, happy learning !

Is there any safest seat available on aircraft ?

Did you knw which was the safest seat on aircraft ?
--On wings near emergency exit
--Aile seat of fin region near rear exit.
--There isn't such safest seats so far.
Which of these satements were correct ?



Ok, you might think that the second one was the answer, but in reality isn't , the third one is the correct answer, there isn't a safest seat on any aircraft, but the chance of survival may vary depending upon seats we chose , technically seats on mid section of airplanes were strong in construction, where bulkheads were reinforced more strong enogh to withstand the weight of wings and its huge turbo engines, but it also contains large quantity of jet grade fuels, which eventually diminishes the rate of survival during crash.
Ok for me i'll chose the aile seat of fin region near rear exit, because the pilot tries his best to keep the nose up to generte some lift even if it goes wrong and crash, the seats and things before me sustains the impact leaving myself less injured than others, i hope i 'll covered my head like u all know the brace impact position, then also it gives me the confidence that i was near the exit, and also away from the burning jet fuel, also for any air crash, the least damage portion is the fin region ,thats why black boxes were always located in that area because of this fact.

Anyhow keep in mind that do not panic, whatever happens
Try to locate the distance between nearest exit and your seat by means of counting 
Once you got out of plane, never ever attempt to reenter again for any reason

RAT - RAM AIR TURBINE

Did you know the term RAT in relation with large airliners ?

-- 2 out of 10 Food poisons incident reported due to RAT contamination in large airliners.

--An emergency tertiary equipment used to generate some power to vital equipments also to get some thrust (forward force).

Which of these statements were correct ?


Ok the second one was the correct answer, RAT- Ram Air Turbine - a tertiary emergency fan deployed from beneath the belly of aircraft  in between two large wings , used to generate some power, in case if all  engines flame out occurs , it also generates some forward force and it also gives some lift and control based on atmospheric air speed, temperature etc.,

Every pilot's nightmare , When an emergency escalates

Did you know a triple pan call PAN- PAN- PAN

Did you know a mayday call MAY DAY - MAY DAY

These are calls made by the crew during emergency situation, a triple pan call is a first degree emergency call, eg,a single engine flameout in a dual engine aircraft, the controller gives priority to that a/c in order to ground that safely as soon as possible.

On the other hand, a may day call is a real threat for all, eg, all engine flameout or an aircraft is losing hydraulics which makes it uncrollable , burbling or stall situations, etc.,


Aircraft with an additional landing gear

Did you know which aircraft has an extra special landing gear apart from the conventional tandem landing gear,

--mcdonnell douglas dc series.

--Concorde.

The interesting fact is both aircrafts have killed more number of air passengers than other carriers.

Ok, the answer is none other but the first and last ever supersonic passenger airline the concorde, it has an additional special landing gear under his fin region just to prevent skidding .
Am i wrong , well i'm just a learner, suggestions were always welcome, happy learning !

Do airplanes have a reverse gear ?

Did you knw why airplanes are push back to runways using a towing equipment ,

--because they didnt have a reverse gear mechanism.

--because they didnt have a rear view mirror.

which of these statements were correct ?
ok, the answer looks weird, the second one is the correct answer, most of the jet airliners can move backwards without any equipment, by means of a thrust reversal mechanism, dont go deep on that ok, 
Because of the large body of aircraft, there may be intrusions, collisions takes place, so inorder to avoid that each and every aircrafts on apron were totally under the control of that particulat ATC's ground control unit.

Am i wrong, may be i'm just a learner, suggestions were always welcome, via Facebook -https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100005288525518
