Minutes before landing I saw what I believed to be a tail end of a plane that was too close for comfort so I wanted to know how close planes can get while in the air. Asked by TOBM - Tue Apr 18 17:00:46 2006 - - 7 Answers - 0 Comments A. Aircraft can be as close as the pilots deem safe. Some aircraft, usually smaller ones, take off in formation, and continue on in formation flight. The second plane in the flight (the following plane) sets up upwind and slightly behind the lead plane and follows him down and will try to land slightly before the lead to avoid wake turbulence. If you were on a jet liner, likely the tailcone you saw was landing on a parallel runway. Aircraft going into a controlled airport are not allowed closer than three miles and particularly under IFR (when the pilots are referring to instruments and the controllers to guide them). Most airports though have parallel runways and allow aircraft to land on two different runways at one time.

No car is necessary to reach the other side of the city. You can look into anyone's window, no matter what floor a person lives on. There will be new traffic rules, fewer cars, fewer traffic accidents. How close are we to developing a personal flying device? Asked by Nick K - Fri Oct 26 02:11:12 2007 - - 11 Answers - 0 Comments A. Currently, that technology is still far away. We have created jetpacks, but the amount of fuel that they can carry limits flying time to about 30 seconds, and are VERY expensive. However, a new scientific breakthrough will be needed to provide sufficient power to lift a person, as well as sustain the person in the air for an acceptable amount of time. It will come, one day. Perhaps in 100 years, or even in 20 years. The first plane the Wright Brothers flew was only in the air for 12 seconds, but now, 100 years later, airplanes cross the globe effortlessly carrying hundreds of passengers and flying at high speeds for many hours. The same case happened with trains, phones, computers, and soon, space travel.

Q. How close can the average person get to the text in a book without it getting blurry? When I get to about 4-5 inches from a screen or book its blurry is that normal? Asked by Tom S - Wed Dec 24 18:50:26 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. Yes, that is normal. When you age, it becomes harder to see up close. There is an old saying that when you get older, your arms are not long enough... to get the book far enough away from your eyes for them to focus.
