Great TALON Talk Matthias. It was clear, visually appealing, and the script was performed very well. I especially enjoyed the diagrams you put in there, as they made the content very easy to follow. The images you inserted in were also relevant and complimented your talking points perfectly. One question I have for you is: do weather or wind affect the stalling point of a plane’s wings? Do they affect the amount of lift that can be generated?
Hi Josh,
In answer to your question, yes wind can affect the stalling point of a plane’s wings because if its a head wind it will slow the plane down so you would have to apply more throttle to make up for the lost speed. If there is too much head wind you could potentially not be able to take off because you wouldn’t be able to get enough speed to get lift.
Matthias
Your Talon Talk was really nicely done. You had covered and explained all your points really well, which made following your project and ideas simple and easy. You clearly knew your material.
My question for you is, would a plane with longer wings or a plane with a sharper angle of attack travel a longer distance?
As you had said, both wing length and the angle of attack had a sweet spot, and a handicap that occurred if they were too long/sharp. So taking that into consideration, would one of them still allow a plane to travel a longer distance?
Hi Sarah,
If the wings were longer than the plane would be able to travel the longest distance possible, however, as I said in my talk, the weight would eventually be too much to achieve good speed.
Matthias
Amazing job Matthias. You explained each of your points in great detail. All of this information was new to me, and thanks to your explanations, as well as the diagrams and images you put, it was very easy to understand.
Does the humidity or heat of the air affect the sweet spot or stalling point of a plane?
Hi Braeden,
No, the heat of the air will not affect the stall point of a plane and humidity doesn’t affect it either.

Hi Matthias, I really enjoyed your TALON talk. It was intriguing and you spoke in a clear voice the whole time. I have one question for you: how long do you think the wingspan of a glider could be without seeing any consequences?
Hi (Robert or Arik)
The wings could be extended quite a ways before the weight would make them less efficient as you would need more thrust to over come the weight.
Matthias
Great job Matthias.
I like how you spoke in a clear voice the entire time; you talon talk was very easy to understand. I really lik how you didn’t use many words on your slides, it made it visually appealing and very organized. I like how you showed diamgrams to further prove you point.
A question I have is: Are stalls at all useful in a any situation, prehaps they could be use in certain emergencies?
Hi (Arik or Robert)
In answer to your question, no, stalls cause the plane to loose speed and the plane could go into an uncontrolable spin that can be devastating.
Matthias
Great Job Matthias!
I enjoyed how you spoke in a clear voice throughout your entire presentation. It was evident that you knew what you were saying. I also liked the diagrams you put in your TALON talk, as they made the presentation easier to understand. I have one question for you: what is the purpose of the small piece sticking up at the outside edge of a wing and how does it affect a plane’s lift.
Hi Ben,
The small piece is called a “Winglet” and it helps to improve efficiency and give the pilot more control over the plane.
Matthias
Good job Matthias,
I like how you clearly presented the information in an easy to understand manner. One question I have is – does the temperature of air affect the lift generated by the plane?
Hi Kaiwen,
The temperature doesn’t really affect the lift generated by a wing because lift is based off of airspeed.
