  2. Flight envelope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flight_envelope

    The outer edges of the diagram, the envelope, show the possible conditions that the aircraft can reach in straight and level flight. For instance, the aircraft described by the black altitude envelope on the right can fly at altitudes up to about 52,000 feet (16,000 m), at which point the thinner air means it can no longer climb.

  3. Aircraft seat map - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aircraft_seat_map

    An aircraft seat map or seating chart is a diagram of the seat layout ... and their seat maps for A320 aircraft show a row 13. Delta Air Lines also includes row 13 in ...

  4. Coffin corner (aerodynamics) - Wikipedia

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

    At speeds close to the stall speed the aircraft's wings are at a high angle of attack. At higher altitudes, the air density is lower than at sea level. Because of the progressive reduction in air density, as the aircraft's altitude increases, its true airspeed is progressively greater than its indicated airspeed. For example, the indicated ...

    English: An overlay diagram showing five of the largest airplanes ever built, the Hughes H-4 Spruce Goose (airplane with the greatest height), the Antonov An-225 Mriya (the largest airplane), the Boeing 747-8 Intercontinental (the largest version of the Boeing 747 Jumbojet), the Airbus A380-800 (the largest passenger airplane), and the Scaled Composites Stratolaunch (airplane with the greatest ...

  6. Flight control surfaces - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flight_control_surfaces

    Basic aircraft control surfaces and motion. A)aileron B)control stick C)elevator D)rudder. Aircraft flight control surfaces are aerodynamic devices allowing a pilot to adjust and control the aircraft's flight attitude. Development of an effective set of flight control surfaces was a critical advance in the development of aircraft.

  7. Flight instruments - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flight_instruments

    The cockpit of a Slingsby T-67 Firefly two-seat light airplane.The flight instruments are visible on the left of the instrument panel. Flight instruments are the instruments in the cockpit of an aircraft that provide the pilot with data about the flight situation of that aircraft, such as altitude, airspeed, vertical speed, heading and much more other crucial information in flight.

  8. 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

  9. Wing configuration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wing_configuration

    A fixed-wing aircraft may have more than one wing plane, stacked one above another: Biplane: two wing planes of similar size, stacked one above the other.The biplane is inherently lighter and stronger than a monoplane and was the most common configuration until the 1930s.
