Does a design of a air plane make it go father?

Question

i hope i get alot of answer

Answer 1

In two words - it depends.  Range is a factor of fuel on board, groundspeed, and fuel consumption.  So, design can affect it.  To a degree.

Answer 2

Yes.

I don't know if you meant farther or faster, but the design of a plane technically makes it do both.

There's a whole entire science called aerodynamics that is all about how air flows. If an airplane is designed to accommodate the air flowing around it, than it has less resistance, and vice versa.

Think about riding in a car and you stick your hand out, if you face your palm into the wind then your hand will move back a lot quicker than if you hold your hand flat.

Since the a good design allows a plane to go faster it will also allow it to go further in the same time.

I know that's a bad explanation but I hope you understood. Good luck!

Answer 3

Yes, the less energy it takes to move the plane the further ti can potentially go with the same amount of fuel.  Meaning that making a plave lighter and reducing its drag coefficient will allow it to go further.

Answer 4

An aeroplane design is a series of trade-offs.

You can design for speed, or endurance, or lifting

capacity, or high altitude or low, or maneuverablity,

or stability or range.

Going for any one thing effects all the others.

Answer 5

Yes the design of an aircraft fuselage is on factor that dictates the aircraft's role and capabilities. Others will be the airfoil profile of the wings, The engine efficiency and fuel consumption rate will dictate both the aircraft's capabilities as well as its limitations.

Answer 6

There are a lot of variables in aircraft design that will affect its performance.  A slick, low-drag design will definitely fly farther that a draggy one, everything else being equal.  Other factors include how fast it burns fuel and how much fuel it can carry, how  much payload it holds, etc.

Answer 7

Range is one of the target considerations in the design of an airplane.  The range of a given design can be increased by increasing fuel capacity or using a more fuel-efficient engine.

Range may also be increased by adding detail changes that make the airplane more streamlined.

Answer 8

Fuel on board, ground speed, and fuel consumption are all based on the design of the aircraft so design not only effects how fare it goes...it dictates it.
