  2. Aspect ratio (aeronautics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aspect_ratio_(aeronautics)

    Aspect ratio (aeronautics) An ASH 31 glider with very high aspect ratio (AR=33.5) and lift-to-drag ratio (L/D=56) In aeronautics, the aspect ratio of a wing is the ratio of its span to its mean chord. It is equal to the square of the wingspan divided by the wing area. Thus, a long, narrow wing has a high aspect ratio, whereas a short, wide wing ...

    On May 6, she was patrolling the coast off Rhode Island. The SS Black Point (originally named SS Fairmont) was built in 1918 by the New York Shipbuilding Corporation in Camden, New Jersey. The 5,353 ton collier ship was 112.35 meters long, with a beam of 16.82 meters and a draft of 9.3 meters.

  4. Heading indicator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heading_indicator

    Some more expensive heading indicators are "slaved" to a magnetic sensor, called a flux gate.The flux gate continuously senses the Earth's magnetic field, and a servo mechanism constantly corrects the heading indicator. [4]

  5. Aircraft dynamic modes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aircraft_dynamic_modes

    The motion is a rapid pitching of the aircraft about the center of gravity, essentially an angle-of-attack variation. The short-period mode is an oscillation with a period of only a few seconds that is usually heavily damped by the existence of lifting surfaces far from the aircraft’s center of gravity, such as a horizontal tail or canard.

    Zone 5 uses eight 2-digit codes (51–58) and two sets of 3-digit codes (50x, 59x) to serve South and Central America. Zone 6 uses seven 2-digit codes (60–66) and three sets of 3-digit codes (67x–69x) to serve Southeast Asia and Oceania. Zone 7 uses an integrated numbering plan; two digits (7x) determine the area served: Russia or Kazakhstan.

    Diagram of a cyclone in the early stages of occlusion in the Northern Hemisphere. In meteorology, an occluded front is a type of weather front formed during cyclogenesis.The classical and usual view of an occluded front is that it starts when a cold front overtakes a warm front near a cyclone, such that the warm air is separated (occluded) from the cyclone center at the surface.

  9. Leading-edge cuff - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leading-edge_cuff

    Leading-edge cuff. A leading-edge cuff is a fixed aerodynamic wing device employed on fixed-wing aircraft to improve the stall and spin characteristics. Cuffs may be either factory-designed or an after-market add-on modification. [1] A leading-edge cuff is a wing leading-edge modification, usually a lightly drooped outboard leading-edge extension.
