1) Can anyone explain the difference between these two plane?


2) Why people who rather use a Propeller-powered aeroplane to drop a military package rather than Jetplane?


3) How fast and how high can a plane travel with its cargo door open?



PLEASE HELP, PRESENTATION, THANK YOU.

If you mean prop powered like a C130, it does it's job better with a prop, including slower stall speeds and more power to get off the ground quicker. It can go slower to do precision drops.

As far as altitude, they can drop from very high altitudes with the doors open, all they do is don oxygen masks and jackets.

The newest pallet dropping systems use GPS to fly the pallet with an airfoil to a predetermined altitude and then deploy chutes.

High Altitude Low Opening (HALO) personnel drops have been done from a very high altitude with doors open. even on C141s.

1) Basic internet research will answer that, other than the obvious.

2) Drops from flight should be done at a reasonably low speed. Propeller-driven aircraft are generally better at that than a jet aircraft. That being said, jet aircraft have been designed to drop packages as well - they work in their own way, we just see more prop. driven aircraft in this role.

3) That depends on the aircraft and will vary greatly.

The internet is a valuable resource for research. Don't mind helping out but you gotta carry your end of the load too!

Good luck

Well, first of all i would suggest doing your own research for a presentation.

However, I will give you a general idea.

The prop uses a propeller to move. it's a large rotating blade a lot like a ceiling fan. props can be driven by internal combustion engines or jets (turbo props) turboprops are much more common now.

jets use jet engines, which are much more complicated. basically igniting fuel to expand the air and use a rotor to force air through the engine. Much faster.

Those are the main differences. I'll let others address the rest, you should be doing this reseach yourself.

Wings have various applications a million. Aesthetic An airplane with out wings could seem somewhat stupid 2. someplace to paint the registration quantity so this is considered from the floor. 3. On intense wing airplane they supply greater beneficial colour for the passengers 4. On low wing airplane they steer away from worrying perspectives of the floor a good distance decrease than. (Early airplane in many circumstances had bigger and decrease wings which supplied colour and blocked worrying floor perspectives yet huge psychological tests confirmed that nicely shaded passengers did no longer difficulty bearing directly to the floor view, and those and not utilising a floor view did no longer want colour.) 5. on the floor, airplane may be parked with the wings above the climate recording equipment, thereby making the rainfall and temperatures on the airport greater reasonable than in nearby areas. it is important on condition that airfields infrequently have sheltering systems or maybe trees interior the midsection of the runways. 6. Wings additionally grant leisure while the airplane is parked while some human beings haplessly bump their heads on them. Propellors, now - - -

1) Do your own research
2) Airdrops require low speed, and speed is slow enough to not leave enough safety margin for most jet transports. Prop transports are more flexible that way.
3) Depends on the pilots having oxygen / enclosed cabin or not.
