More air molecules in engine cylinders allow the engine to produce more power; more air molecules moving across the propellor blades and wings means more efficient thrust and lift. As altitude increases, air molecules spread out, resulting in less power and lift. The approach and taxi are time compressed; the landing is normal speed.

Exceeding the maximum takeoff weight (MTOW) will risk the aircraft not generating sufficient lift to get off the ground. If every child asked Santa for the Stitch plush this Christmas, the payload carried would be around 2.4 While we dont know the MTOW of Santas sleigh, we can hazard a guess at the weight of the toys on board.

Lift is the force that aircraft use to counter gravity. Newton’s Third Law is one of the key laws of physics that explains lift. Lets see what Newtons Third Law is, and why we need it to understand lift. This principle is fundamental in generating lift, thrust, and maneuverability, allowing aircraft to fly.

The stark reality is that these vital heavy-lift fleets are ageing, and the absence of direct replacements is becoming a serious strategic concern. Its payload capacity – 80 tonnes. The C-5 Galaxy, the C-17 Globemaster, and the Antonov An-124 have carried the burden – literally and figuratively – for decades.

With the two aircraft rapidly approaching 40 years old, theyre becoming less cost-effective to operate. The pilot would bank the 747 away from the rocket, and after five seconds, it would ignite and take the payload the rest of the distance into orbit. As such, the USAF is in the process of replacing them with newer Boeing 747-8s.

Whisper said multiple eQ250 engines will each provide 80 pounds-force of thrust while achieving coefficients of lift as high as 14, enabling short takeoff and landing (STOL). The CLA Light is a Group 3 UAS with a dash speed of 175 knots and ferry range of 2,000 nm, shortening to 200 nm at full 500-pound payload.

And the finest example of a Cirrus SR22 is not going to want to lift a full load out of a backcountry strip on a warm afternoon with a density altitude reading five digits. Can you fly a zero-thrust, single-engine approach to minimums today? That optimistic outlook doesn’t apply to pilots with rusty skills.

But it was apparent the smallest Grumman flying boat was too small and full of quirks—the cabin door won’t open if the flaps are down, for example—to justify something approaching a direct copy. 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.
