(ORDO NEWS) — In many countries of the world, passenger planes cannot take off because of the heat. And that’s why there is such a problem at all.
The main reason planes have difficulty taking off in hot weather is the change in air density. This is because as air temperature increases, its density decreases. Because of this, the lift force of the wing of the aircraft also decreases. In addition, hot weather can cause jet engines to overheat and one of them to fail.
To compensate for the negative factors associated with the heat, a longer runway or a reduction in aircraft weight is needed. The former may be technically impossible, while the latter may not be economically viable.
That is why in the heat, airlines simply postpone flights to more favorable times.
In 2018 London Airport had a strong strong. Then, in order for the plane to take off safely, it was allowed to leave a maximum of 20 passengers on board.
