How does math relate do avation?

Question

I know it does, but I can't think of how it would apply except for finding the distance between place to place.

Answer 1

It counts TONS!! Theres calculating your center of gravity, fuel loading formulas, vertical speed calculations, barometric pressure differences, altitudes, and so on.

Example: (CG)
Weight A =120 Lbs. 15 inches aft of datum
Weight B= 200 Lbs. 117 inches aft of datum
Weight C= 75 Lbs. 196 inches aft of datum

Multiplying the weight by the arm we get
A=1,800 inch-pounds
B=23,400 inch-pounds
c=14,625 inch-pounds
Total movements= 39,825 divided by total weight (395) to get CG position: 100.8 inches

As you can see, math plays a critical role in aviation

Answer 2

As you can see in the above answer, math plays a role in weight and balance as well as aircraft design formulas. It also has a lot to do with time and distance equations. Math helps you to work out performance calculations as well. As a flight engineer I spend the first two hours of any flight getting the airplane ready to go. One hour I spend doing the pre-flight inspection. The second hour is spent doing take off climb cruise landing and emergency data calculations. Math is involved in every aspect of every flight

Answer 3

Listing
Weight & Balance
Fuel calculations
Speed & distance with time calculations
Density
Altitude
Diversions
Headings, bearings (wind corrections)
There are a lot more but these are just for genaral aviation.
Engineering and flight dynamics breath math.

Answer 4

HERE'S A SAMPLE.,,

You are flying an airplane from Miami to Philadelphia., It is a 2 hour flight, about1000 miles, so you set your course and speed,
Ther is a 50 mile an hour wind blowing in from the west. If you make no allowance for this, how far will your plane be blown off course before you get to Philadelphia.

Answer 5

Johnny think a little deeply here....
Just the basic physics of flight is full of math. With out it, we could not make a airplane fly. Naviagtion, again considerable math in a 3d envioronment. I think you need to study this a bit?

Answer 6

info (2005) w/ Gwyneth Paltrow and Anthony Hopkins. impressive. In Chicago, on the day of her twenty-seventh birthday, Catherine gets her sister Claire from long island for the funeral of their father Robert, who kicked the bucket a pair of days earlier. Robert grow to be an impressive mathematician that grew to become bughouse, and Catherine had lived with him for the final 5 years, inclusive quitting her analyze contained in the college, and he or she is in touch approximately having inherited his insanity. The mathematician of the college of Chicago, Hal, is making a analyze in Robert's notebooks, attempting to discover any incredible info that Robert might have produced in one 2d of lucidity. whilst Hal has one nightstand with Catherine, she provides a workstation to him with the form of a diverse arithmetic theory that Catherine claims that she stepped forward. Hal and Claire have not got self belief on her, till the actuality is disclosed.

Answer 7

It simply plays spoilsport to such a wonderful field.

I wish there was only the joy of flying and none of that hopeless number crunching...the auto-pilot does it anyway ;)

Answer 8

numbers,,numbers relate to every thing we do today and in the past.all i can say is try and build a building without math and see how it turns out.think deep and you will find the answer for yourself.good brain exercise

Answer 9

weight to fuel ratio wind resistance all the wires in the plane rate of acceleration rate of descent length of runway for landing /takeoff speed of landing angle of descent . man it is all math everything it would be easy to tell you what it does not concern

Answer 10

* a whole damn a lot !!!!!!!! ;)
* without math u can't build and or fly an airplane , or wholly depends on your guts and or instincts to build and or fly an airplane
