Hey chitchat...message me personally and I shall clear your doubts on flight engineering. There are a lot of funny comments here and i'd prefer not to involve. But why the hell do you wanna know this in the first place??
i dunno if the a/c can stop ie just float in the air but i certainly do kno this. It flies most of the time by itself - auto pilot. Its qatar, after all anything goes.
I laughed so much...the comments are so funny.. mind you the question was funny to say the least. Lol dont you just love it when someone asks the most obscure question! what was the relevance? lol
I thought it was a 3 year old asking the question!
Technically, a commercial jet can stay still in the air provided we cause the wind to blow at it from the opposite direction at over 600Kmph. This wind must blow towards the nose and through its wings to cause it to get lift force and thus not make any displacement relative to the ground. This wud means it has zero ground speed. An aircraft has two speeds namely groundspeed and airspeed. Airspeed is measured by the amount of air rushing thro' its sensors placed at various points on its outer body. This mechanism and physical aspect of flight is beyond the scope of this discussion and many of you won't even be able grasp the idea.
Not only can an Airbus (or any other commercial aircraft) not "stand still" in the air, it must be going at least 155 knots (or approx 175 miles per hour) in order to stay in the air, relative to the wind speed. If it falls below that relative speed it will simply fall out of the air. I remember in the middle of one flight, a passenger called the flight attendant and asked, "Why have we stopped?" Uhhh, ...?!
Certain Fighter aircraft can "stop" while in flight if the pilot does certain maneuvers but during landing? Of course not. On a passenger aircraft? Of course not.
I am not asking about helicopters. I know they can. I am asking about Airbus. I had a feeling that they can't be still, as helicopters do. Sorry If you feel my question as childish. But it has to be cleared my doubt, better than keeping in my kind.
Hahahaha...i feel like talking to a 3 yr old kid!!! Yes, it does stay STILL in the AIR before landing because it has to wait for approval. If they are not approved, the pilot can just turn the plane 360 degrees without moving forward and go back to it's destination. nyahahahahah!!!! Did you notice the propeller on top of every aeroplane? That's what keeps it still before landing. Some plane have propellers on their tail as well, but those are only special types of plane developped by aliens.

YES IT CAN
for a split second before it crashes :)

hmmm, i think i seen venks on MasterMind a a week or so ago. His Specialist Subject was VTOL also...
hmmmmmm
Commercial aircraft: No
Fighter aircraft: Yes. The VTOL enabled planes can do that. VTOL= vertical take off and landing. The Harrier Jump jet is one such aircraft.
Google VTOL and you will find a lot of info as well as some youtube videos.
