Hello, I have a question that I can't answer myself or with Google.
When an airplane theoretically orbits the earth, does it have to constantly steer minimally downwards?
Wouldn't it keep flying upwards if it didn't steer downwards?
Maybe I'm just lost and forgetting some physical principle.
But I hope you understand my question.
Thanks!

Loading...Last night, I waited at the airport for half an hour, only to find out that my suitcases hadn't arrived. How could something like that even happen? It's really not that difficult: load the suitcase onto the plane, take off, and you're done! Instead, I'm standing here without my things. I barely have anything to…
In a) I have Yes b) No c) Yes But can someone explain c) to me? Thank you in advance!! 😉
Would you go on holiday to Australia? Gladly with reasons 😉 If so, how long should you plan for it? Where would you like to go there or maybe even take a tour?
As shown in this picture.
How does a U-tube manometer work and what is the principle behind it?
Gravity acts downward, while the lift force of the wings acts upward. A neutral angle of attack ensures that the aircraft remains balanced, and speed may change or, in the case of motorized aircraft, require adjustment by adjusting the power.
An aircraft maintains a constant altitude (i.e., a constant distance from the Earth's center) through the balance between gravity and lift. This is a stable flow condition that is additionally controlled by the pilot or autopilot.
No, gravity takes care of that. Normally, an airplane would stay at a constant altitude without any intervention.
No, because of gravity pulling the plane towards the earth.
No.
