VOLPLANE Meaning and
Definition
-
Volplane is a term primarily used in aviation to describe the act of gliding or descending smoothly through the air without the use of engine power. It refers to the intentional or controlled flight of an aircraft in a downward trajectory, typically employed during specific maneuvers or as a technique used in certain aircraft types, such as sailplanes or gliders.
During a volplane, the aircraft utilizes its aerodynamic properties to generate lift and maintain stability as it descends through the air. It involves reducing the angle of attack, lowering the aircraft's nose, and maintaining a controlled descent by adjusting airspeed and flight controls. This technique allows the aircraft to extend its glide and cover greater distances than in a standard descent.
Volplaning can be applied during various scenarios, such as when the aircraft needs to extend its glide to reach a desired landing spot or when it needs to lose altitude rapidly in emergency situations. Pilots use their knowledge of the aircraft's performance characteristics and aerodynamics to execute volplanes effectively and safely.
In a broader context, volplane can also be used metaphorically to describe any smooth and graceful descent or glide, not limited to the aviation domain. It can refer to a smooth movement or descent of any object or living being, embodying elegance, control, and a sense of fluidity as it glides downward.
Common Misspellings for VOLPLANE
Etymology of VOLPLANE
The word volplane has its roots in the Latin language. It is formed from two Latin words: volare, meaning to fly, and planus, meaning flat or level. Volare is derived from the Proto-Indo-European root word wel, which means to turn or to wind. Combining these elements, volplane can be understood as to fly flat or to glide smoothly.
