Airbus A321

The Airbus A321 is a member of the Airbus A320 family of short to medium range, narrow-body, commercial passenger twin engine jet airliners; it carries 185 to 236 passengers.

Aircraft

An aircraft (aircraft) is a vehicle that is able to fly by gaining support from the air.

Airspace

Airspace is the portion of the atmosphere controlled by a country above its territory, including its territorial waters or, more generally, any specific three-dimensional portion of the atmosphere.

See Climb (aeronautics) and Airspace

In the United States, airways or air routes are defined by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in two ways: "VOR Federal airways and Low/Medium Frequency (L/MF) (Colored) Federal airways" These are designated routes which aeroplanes fly to aid in navigation and help with separation to avoid accidents.

Altitude

Altitude is a distance measurement, usually in the vertical or "up" direction, between a reference datum and a point or object.

See Climb (aeronautics) and Altitude

Angle of climb

In aerodynamics, climb gradient is the ratio between distance travelled over the ground and altitude gained, and is expressed as a percentage.

See Climb (aeronautics) and Angle of climb

Aviation

Aviation includes the activities surrounding mechanical flight and the aircraft industry.

Cruise (aeronautics)

Cruise is the phase of aircraft flight that starts when the aircraft levels off after a climb, until it begins to descend for landing. Climb (aeronautics) and Cruise (aeronautics) are aircraft aerodynamics and flight phases.

Descent (aeronautics)

In aeronautics, a descent is any time period during air travel where an aircraft decreases altitude, and is the opposite of an ascent or climb. Climb (aeronautics) and descent (aeronautics) are flight phases.

Federal Aviation Administration

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is a U.S. federal government agency within the U.S. Department of Transportation which regulates civil aviation in the United States and surrounding international waters.

Gliding

Gliding is a recreational activity and competitive air sport in which pilots fly unpowered aircraft known as gliders or sailplanes using naturally occurring currents of rising air in the atmosphere to remain airborne.

Heathrow Airport

Heathrow Airport, called London Airport until 1966, is the main international airport serving London, the capital and most populous city of England and the United Kingdom.

Instrument flight rules

In aviation, instrument flight rules (IFR) is one of two sets of regulations governing all aspects of civil aviation aircraft operations; the other is visual flight rules (VFR).

Laurence Clancy

Laurence Joseph Clancy (15 March 1929 - 16 October 2014) was an Education Officer in aerodynamics at Royal Air Force College Cranwell where his textbook Aerodynamics became standard.

Rate of climb

In aeronautics, the rate of climb (RoC) is an aircraft's vertical speed, that is the positive or negative rate of altitude change with respect to time. Climb (aeronautics) and rate of climb are aircraft aerodynamics.

See Climb (aeronautics) and Rate of climb

Step climb

A step climb in aviation is a series of altitude gains that improve fuel economy by moving into thinner air as an aircraft becomes lighter and becomes capable of flying in the thinner air at a higher altitude. Climb (aeronautics) and step climb are flight phases.

See Climb (aeronautics) and Step climb

Takeoff

Takeoff is the phase of flight in which an aerospace vehicle leaves the ground and becomes airborne. Climb (aeronautics) and Takeoff are flight phases.

See Climb (aeronautics) and Takeoff

Thrust

Thrust is a reaction force described quantitatively by Newton's third law. Climb (aeronautics) and Thrust are aircraft aerodynamics.
