	MSN Encarta - Airplane
		Airplanes also differ from other heavier-than-air craft, such as helicopters, because they have rigid wings; control surfaces, such as movable parts of the wings and tail, which make it possible to guide their flight; and power plants, or special engines that permit level or climbing flight.
		The shock wave created by an airplane moving at supersonic and hypersonic speeds represents a rather abrupt change in air pressure and is perceived on the ground as a sonic boom, the exact nature of which varies depending upon how far away the aircraft is and the distance of the observer from the flight path.
		Airplanes are heavier than air, in contrast to vehicles such as balloons and airships, which are lighter than air.

	Fixed-wing aircraft - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A fixed-wing aircraft (more commonly known as an airplane in North American English or aeroplane in Commonwealth English) is a heavier-than-air craft where movement of the wings in relation to the aircraft is not used to generate lift.
		All aircraft wings flex, and some aircraft have wings that can tilt, sweep back, or fold, but if none of these movements are used to generate lift, the wing is considered to be a "fixed-wing".

	Inventions: Airplane
		But through various twists and turns, the airplane was a ble to become a great success in the 1920s and even gaining the rank of being one of the most important inventions of the 1920s.
		During the decade preceding the 20s, airplanes had been used in World War I for reconnassance and attacks, but its high instability and poor control made it less glamorous as other weapons of World War I. So it was tossed aside as an impractical invention.
		Airplane fads even managed to produce an American hero, Charles A. Lindbergh, when he crossed the Atlantic Ocean by himself in an airplane.

	Airplane
		We concentrate on the development of the airplane before World War I, when flying machines were odd contraptions of stick, cloth, and wire; engines were temperamental and untrustworthy; and pilots were never quite sure whether they’d be able to coax their machine into the air or bring it down in one piece.
		This was the fundamental concept of the airplane.
		However, the concept of the airplane has only been around for two centuries.

	Forces on an Airplane
		Lift is generated by the motion of the airplane through the air and is an aerodynamic force.
		The magnitude of the weight depends on the mass of all the airplane parts, plus the amount of fuel, plus any payload on board (people, baggage, freight, etc.).
		During a flight, an airplane's weight constantly changes as the aircraft consumes fuel.

	How Airplanes Fly
		The energy the airplane imparts to an air molecule on impact is proportional to the speed squared.
		If the total weight of the airplane were doubled (say, in a 2g turn) the vertical velocity of the air is doubled to compensate for the increased wing loading.
		Slower airplanes, such as gliders, are designed to minimize induced drag (or induced power), which dominates at lower speeds.

	Wright Brothers History: The Tale of the Airplane
		In addition to the respectability he brought to the field, Lilienthal made two more important contributions to the nascent field of airplane invention: the style of perfecting a glider before attempting powered flight (which Gibbs-Smith refers to as the 'airman' approach), and a table of the lift provided by curved wings.
		More capable airplanes were developed in 1904 and 1905, which culminated in their stunning European and American flights in 1908.
		Up to that point, efforts to invent airplanes were considered to be the province of crackpots and wild-eyed dreamers.

	DVDFILE.COM: AIRPLANE! review
		But with regards to AIRPLANE!, it is very funny and has become a classic in every sense of the word.
		But more often then not, the jokes were huge laughs and therein lies AIRPLANE's biggest on-going asset: the movie is legitimately funny, whether you liked it or not.
		While the early Mel Brooks parodies BLAZING SADDLES and HIGH ANXIETY can be seen as light influences on AIRPLANE!, the film was really quite groundbreaking in its style and genre for the time.
