what are formers on a plane?
607274
A former is a structural member of an aircraft fuselage, of which a typical fuselage has a series from the nose to the empennage, typically perpendicular to the roll axis of the aircraft. The formers establish the shape of the fuselage. Formers are typically attached to longerons, which support the skin of the aircraft. The Former-and-Longeron technique was adopted from boat construction, and was typical of light aircraft built until the advent of structural skins such as fiberglass and other composite materials. Many of today's light aircraft, and homebuilt aircraft in particular, are still designed in this way.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nthe thing with wires is another definition of "former" and here it is:\n\nIt is also the core of a Potentiometer in which the resistive material is wrapped round.

You don't go across, you go around.\n\nAnd, it depends on the type of plane.  The space shuttle can do it a couple times in a day.

Flying almost always means that you are feeling satisfaction and confidence in your real life.\n\nWhatever's going on right now--good on ya'!

airplanes use the CG every time it gets on the runway.  Maybe something along those lines.  THere are a lot of info on it if you do google on it.

there was a book i had once...i think called "worlds worst aircraft" and it was full of fun planes, many made by germany during ww2.  my favorate was their vertical take off and landing plane that had the gear mounted on the tail so one had to pull the plane up to 90 degrees, then slowly "back" it down. (looking over the shoulder and everything)  the test pilot reports all said it was a good plane, but they suggested not trying to land it.

Oddly, I never had one prior to 9-11.  Now flying creeps me out.  I got a script for aniexty, which helps, but basically makes me sleep in long flights.  Outside of that, I found traveling with someone I trust (my husband) who could talk me through the scariest bits helps.  I still get a bit wonky on flights, but I've studied the safety of flying, and still take my trusted partner with me to talk me through it.\n\nIt's really scary, but it is one of those things that you have to face from time to time.  If it's really out of control, get some anti-anxiety meds.

B.\n\nHowever, on a plane you have very little ability to turn a criminal in to authorities.

Lift. The shape of airplane wings (curved on top, flat on bottom) allows air to pass over them at different speeds, creating a pressure gradient. Higher pressure is built up underneath the wing, allowing for lift to carry it off the ground. For this to work, the airplane must maintain a minimum rotation speed to get off the ground (in a Cessna 150, that speed is about 90mph). Once in the air, the plane can reduce its speed and often glide, however when an aircraft looses too much speed, it looses lift and stalls out.

A plane is defined as having at least 3 points. \n4 points mean there is an extra location to rest on causing possibility of inbalance.

Yes it has. Saw it or slept thru parts of "Airplane" and "Ghost" on an international flight in the 1990s. I can't remember which airline that was, but it was great seeing the first movie inflight - Even tho I'd seen both movies several times and I still was trying to stay awake to see it.

Unfortuantely, there is now way to find out from the airline due to security issues.  I believe you will need to keep your fingers crossed and hope your paths cross again.

Here is a list I found:\n\nFive, A340-300 wide bodied long-haul aircraft; Four, A330-200 wide bodied medium/long-haul aircraft, and five A320-200 narrow bodied short-haul aircraft.
