    James provides an overview of passenger airplanes by discussing pilots, airlines, how airplanes fly, and the biggest and fastest airplanes. Pilots need to focus on take-off, taxiing, and landing, monitoring gauges like thrust, lift, drag, and weight. Major airlines include United, American, and Delta in the US and airlines often partner in alliances like Star Alliance. An airplane's four forces - thrust, lift, drag, and weight - allow it to fly. The largest passenger plane is the Airbus A380 while the fastest was the retired Concorde, though the spy plane SR-71 Blackbird could reach over mach 3.

    INTRODUCTION

    Hi, my name is
    James, and I am an
    expert on passenger
    airplanes. I will be telling
    you about pilots,
    airlines, how an airplane
    flies, and the biggest
    and fastest airplanes.

    PILOTS

    Pilots of airplanes need to
    concentrate mostly on three
    parts of flying, take-off, taxi, and
    landing. When pilots take off,
    they need to look at many
    indicators and gauges. The four
    most important gauges are
    thrust, lift, drag, and weight.
    Thrust and lift have to beat
    drag and weight or the plane
    will not take-off. Most pilots
    train in militaries before they
    can fly for an airline.

    AIRLINES


    There are many airlines in the world. Each
    country has a few airlines that are sometimes
    named after them or sponsor them. Poland has
    LOT Polish Airlines, Ireland has AerLingus, and
    RyanAir, the U.S. has United Airlines, American
    Airlines, Delta, and many more. Sports teams
    often have airlines that they sponsor. Airlines
    also form in big groups and make alliances.



    One well known alliance is Star Alliance. In
    Star Alliance, there a program called Miles and
    More, in which they record how many miles
    you flew in a flight. If you get enough miles, you
    could get a free flight anywhere you want.

    How Airplanes Fly


    Diagrams of 4 forces


    An airplane can fly just because of 4
    forces, thrust, lift, drag, and weight. Thrust
    and lift are the forces that push the plane up
    and forward in the sky, and drag and weight
    are the other two forces that try to pull the
    plane down and out of the air.

    The Biggest, and Fastest Airplanes



    The biggest airplane in the world is the Airbus A380. It can carry
    up to 853 passengers, and its cruising speed is 900 km/h (or 500
    mph). Its cabin is 478 square meters (5,145.1 square feet). The
    fastest airplane in the world is the SR-71 Blackbird. It is a spy plane
    that is no longer used in the world. It could go from Los Angeles to
    London in three hours! Its cruising speed is mach 3.2! (Three times
    the speed of sound!) The fastest passenger airplane was the
    Concorde. It retired in 2003 due to a terrible crash in 2000. Its top
    speed is 2,179 km/h (1,353 mph).
