Question: How do I figure out which plane flew over my house? Posted: 16 Oct 2014 05:44 PM PDT Recently a plane flew over my house and I recorded it on video. Then I found out it was NetJets Flight 697, But I want to know what its tail number is. How can I figure out what its tail number is? PS: If anyone can help with it I can give more info. It was a Cessna Citation Excel, And again it was NetJets Flight 697, And it flew today, which is 10/16/2014. |
Question: How do I become the pilot of an helicopter in the military? Posted: 16 Oct 2014 04:44 PM PDT the best place to ask is at your local recruiting office. they'll know of all the up-to-date programs. to be a pilot in the military (i'm assuming american, but i may be wrong), you must go through a commissioning program to become an officer. the navy and army have the best helicopter programs, as far as i know, but with the navy, you're going to end up on a boat. with the army, you're going to end up getting shot at. that said, they'll help you as much as possible. you'll get the GI bill, and military benefits, and a job starting out doing what it takes years of experience in the civilian sector to do. |
Posted: 16 Oct 2014 11:47 AM PDT Yes, any time anything changes direction it experiences G force. Skipper is probably right that they have better g limits than airplanes, the laws of scale would suggest that their skeletons are proportionately far stronger than ours. Of course, given that there is a relationship between mass and rate of acceleration, the loads which they feel will not amount to much. Structurally there is not much difference in weight between a 1 gramme insect in level flight or the same insect in a 4G max rate turn! The G loading is not exactly going to "squash it like a bug" |
Question: How long to get to cruizing altitude? Posted: 16 Oct 2014 10:09 AM PDT For an airliner jet, it varies - It depends how high it climbs to, and how heavily loaded it is - Yes, a 737 might climb (initially) at 1,800 to 2,000 ft per minute - With a 747 it took generally 35 minutes when very heavy - Long range jets (747 or 777) climb initially to a lower level, 30,000 ft or so - Simple answer, say 15-20 minutes climb for a 737 - |
