Question

Which of the following statements are true and which are false?
i. Air transport is the fastest mode of transport.
ii. Air transport is not affected by adverse weather conditions.
iii. Air transport is not suitable for short distances.
iv. Helicopters are generally used for international flights.
v. Air transport does not provide any support to national security.

Answer 1

1) It is true that air transport is the fastest mode of transport as there is no other mode of transport which can make long distances appear short. Travelling long distances in a few hours is very convenient.

2) False. It is completely wrong that air transport is not affected by adverse conditions. Adverse conditions affect air transport as aeroplanes cannot take flight in bad weather conditions.

3) True. For short distances, air transport might seem to be a non-economical choice. It is recommended and suitable for long distances.

4) False. Helicopters are not suitable for long distances, aeroplanes are suitable instead.

5) False. Air transport does provide support to national security.
