Question:
Ok, imagine a jumbo jet cargo plane carrying 10 tons of birds (crows, parrots..whatever ) all at once,the birds start to flap their wings and lift themselves off the jumbo's floor..
Question; does the aircraft lose 10 tons in weight ?
who invented the first rocket?
why and how?

Wind Storm Not Safe For Flying??
Strange answers.The weight would still be there.
For example, in order to fly a 5 pound bird must have more than 5 pounds of upward motion. The wings flap against the air causing the downward motion which pushes down at 5 pounds or more.
The experiment is proven with a toy helicopter over a scale.
Once in open air and the second time in a box.
In open air once the downward wash of air moves the helicopter higher the air is dispersed and no weight is shown.
In a closed box the downwash has no where to go but down so at the same height as the open air the weight reflects the weight of the helicopter.
So in answering your question it takes the equal force to lift the bird up and even a greater force to pick up speed or keep going up.
The weight of the aircraft would stay the same due to being enclosed.
Simple science.
For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
There is a sea plane on our lake thats too loud?
?what's the fastest plane on earth?
I don't think so. The birds' wings are still exerting force on the air inside the jet and that air is carried by the jet.what is cost of one helicoptor?
err..... no? cuz, well, they're still in the planesorta like if someone weighing 100 pounds jumps up on a plane, the plane doesnt really "lose" 100 pounds
I'd say yes - because their weight isn't pulling down on the bottom of the plane.
Has anyone heard of Silver State Helicopters?
I would say no because of inertia of motion. Even though airborne themselves they remain part of the cargo?why the HELL did the UK give up its space program?
No, it would still weigh the same. The force of the air pushed down by the wings flapping adds weight.What does the term PSA means and what is it related to?
No it wouldn't lose weight because the birds still occupy the same space within the cargo plane.How long is the Air Hogs Aero Ace charge time?

Although I could be wrong............................ Thanks! This is going to keep me awake tonight now lol
Any Ideas for an Aircraft Design?
No because, in simple physics terms, for every action, there is a reaction. Therefore, the force exerted on the floorspace of the aircraft would equal the weight of the birds.need to know how far apart departure of us airways & American West is for senior travler?
noNo, cos all the birds are still in their cages & not flying about in the plane (hopefully!).
Can someone tell me the principles behind helicopter flight?
That brief second when they all stop flapping at once,and before they touch the floor is when the plane would try to rise quickly.Which WW2 Plane was made from Balsa Wood?
yes i think so \because all the wieght is lifted. i was thinking of the same thingWhere can I find information on ultralight aircraft - what is a good website to buy from?
if you are measuring the weight on a set of scales, then yes, the plane would lose weightDo you know of any airline in which female flight attendants wear pantsuits?
This answer is not linear:is the aircraft in a climb, level flight, or dive. And where is the weight located. Center of gravity has a lot to do with the answer.
aero commander info parts data manuals?
if all the birds move at once, then the aircraft has lost the mass... however the mass is still moving at the same rate. The aircraft would become lighter... and assend... however sinse the aircraft lost weight (like when someone paracutes out) the aircraft center of gravity would change..... and the pilot would have to correct for tthis. It is no different from when an aircraft does a tank drop...
What is the Principle of aerodynamics?
To answer your question (and stop typing) yes it would lose the weight, as weight is mass times gravity... so the lack of mass would change the weight as there is no longer a downward force of 10 tons.
How do people become airline pilots?
Lindbergh asked the same question. I agree with him. Yes, weights gone. My reasoning is, they are not supported by the aircraft's structure when there in flight so what would be the difference if say it was a C-141 with the back door open and they flew out! As soon as they took flight the weight was gone, it does not matter if they can get out or not. The air inside the 74 is moving with aircraft. Ask the bird I bet he would say H___ yes I am supporting my own weight.has co pilot james polehinke made a sttement regarding the crash?
no... it would lose only 5 tons, cause it about the density of the air... is like when u try to lift someone that is 300 lbs but you're feeling that u are lifting only 150 lbs... physics is kinda difficult though...That is a great question! I believe no because the craft is still holding everything that is inside of it. If it lost the weight, it would be like inertia and the birds will all splat on the back of the plane.
If the concord hadn't of been decomissioned in 2003, would it have been a space plane in the future?
I don't know, fun question to think about! Thanks!
I'll assume you meant that they all took off and landed at the same instant. When they take off, they would push the plane down. As the birds get to the top of their flight path inside the airplane, they momentarily become weightless and could stop flapping their wings for an instant. Also the birds become weightless as they descend to the floor of the airplane. If the birds hover in sustained flight inside the airplane, the plane will weigh the same, not because of the mere fact that they are in the airplane (unless they float like balloons), but because of the downwash of the wings pushing on the floor of the plane.
why do passenger airplanes have a red light on the left wing and a green light on the right wing?
So, quick summary:
Has turbulence ever been the cause of a plane crash?
Birds take off- plane feels heavier.
how much kilometer on the airport runway?
Birds reach the top, or descend- plane feels lighter.
why did the flying tigers paint a shark on their plane?
Birds in sustained flight- plane feels the same.
does anyone else operate a hughes 300 helocopter and having problems with getting parts?
It all depends on the motion of the birds relative to the airplane, not what is directly supporting them. It could be the floor, or their perches, or the air, or the flight attendant or whatever; doesn't matter.
No
Besause they all pooped on the floor
Is it easy for a commercial pilot to enroll in a government airlines ?
No i dont belive it will. if you take a remote control heliocopter and hover it over a scale the scale will read the same weight as if it was parked on the scale due to the force of air pressure down ward. now this can change once the birds were to high then it may not apply.Can today modern airplanes land manually or by the pilot?
No.Jet engine question and power supply ?.?
Because the weight is still there.
