  4. Each engine produces 84,200lbs of thrust.
  5. To name a few things, It has six displays in the panel, optional head-up displays, left and right side-sticks (which don’t provide tactile or visual feedback of the other pilot’s inputs). It has centrally located thrust levers and keyboard and cursor control devices.
  6. The plane was at 75% of its maximum takeoff weight so they used reduced thrust to save engine wear.
  7. It’s going to give Boeing’s best planes some tough competition.

How do planes fly answers

Here are the answers to last Friday’s video, enjoy!

Suggested ICAO level for video: 4+

  1. Lift, gravity, thrust and drag are the primary forces that act on a plane.
  2. When the force of lift created is equal to the force of gravity pulling the plane down, the plane will stay in the air.
  3. It helps it to smash into more air molecules and create lift, which if greater than the force of gravity, help to plane to fly.
  4. The engines overpower the force of drag and move the plane forward.
  5. They’re similar because an engine contains lots of little wings (fan blades) which generate horizontal lift, or more commonly called, thrust.
