... of action. Many pilots get a weather briefing and have little or no idea how to determine where icing may occur. However, pilots can learn enough basic meteorology to understand where ice will probably be waiting after they get their weather briefing. The pilot can then formulate an ice-avoidance f ...

... As an aircraft moves through the air, molecules stick to its surface. This layer of air near a plane’s surface is the boundary layer. It actually changes the shape of the airflow over the aircraft. So now as the plane flies, the air flows not only around the aircraft body, but it flows around this n ...

Fixed-wing aircraft



A fixed-wing aircraft is an aircraft, such as an aeroplane, which is capable of flight using wings that generate lift caused by the vehicle's forward airspeed and the shape of the wings. Fixed-wing aircraft are distinct from rotary-wing aircraft, in which the wings form a rotor mounted on a spinning shaft, and ornithopters, in which the wings flap in similar manner to a bird.Glider fixed-wing aircraft, including free-flying gliders of various kinds and tethered kites, can use moving air to gain height.Powered fixed-wing aircraft that gain forward thrust from an engine (aeroplanes) include powered paragliders, powered hang gliders and some ground effect vehicles.The wings of a fixed-wing aircraft are not necessarily rigid; kites, hang-gliders, variable-sweep wing aircraft and aeroplanes using wing-warping are all fixed-wing aircraft.Most fixed-wing aircraft are flown by a pilot on board the aircraft, but some are designed to be remotely or computer-controlled.
