gross weight is reduced. 2: A stall occurs when the smooth airflow over the unmanned airplane’s wing is disrupted and the lift degenerates rapidly. the maximum allowable operating weight. CG is shifted rearward to the aft CG limit. airplane is subjected to maneuvers other than straight-and-level flight.

A smaller bank angle will result in more lift, while an increased bank angle will reduce the lift. As an aircraft banks, lift is divided into horizontal and vertical components. The horizontal component of lift causes the aircraft to turn. Combining both components of lift, the total lift required increases.

Lift : The aerodynamic force generated due to airflow over the wings. Weight : The force gravity exerts on the aircraft. The aircraft’s deceleration reduces the airflow over the wings, which reduces lift. When the lift force is less than the force of gravity, the aircraft descends. Why does this happen?

Aircraft Weight and Limitations An aircraft’s weight affects inertia and stopping distance. The POH lists landing distances for specific gross weights. Smaller aircraft may only have short field landing distances for maximum gross weight. Reducing lift puts more weight on the wheels.

Horizon Aircraft During the take-off and landing phases of flight, the wing surfaces can transform from a smooth horizontal flying surface into a stabilizer, housing 14 fans that provide the lift for vertical flight – five embedded on either side of the main wing, plus a further two mounted either side within the forward canard wings.

This transition of lifting off is called rotation. The flight data recorder shows the following: Directly before take-off, the gross weight was 328.2 The Pilot Flying gently applies back pressure on the control column, pitching the aircraft nose up to transition from rolling on the ground to flying in the air.

On July 30, 1939, it achieved a significant milestone by lifting a 31,205 lbs payload to an altitude of 8,200 feet. These record-setting flights demonstrated the bomber’s capabilities despite its underpowered engines, highlighting the value of its large airframe for heavy-lift missions.

Meaningful weight conservation comes from the elimination of a spar overlap a two-piece wing would require plus the one-piece design is easier to build accurately. The airfoil is a Harry Riblett shape, giving modernized flow separation on the leading edge for a soft stall yet with good lift and drag performance.
