aerodynamic effect
1Aerodynamic drag — Note This article is currently under renovation, and may, at times, appear disjoint. Please see the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Aerodynamic drag Discussion Page] . Introduction Aerodynamic drag refers to the retarding force on moving… …
2aerodynamic damping — Whenever in flight maneuvers result in rotation of an aircraft about or near its center of gravity, a restoring moment is created by the changed relative airflow. This restoring moment opposes the control demands, and it arrests maneuvers as and… …
3aerodynamic lift — noun the component of the aerodynamic forces acting on an airfoil that opposes gravity • Syn: ↑lift • Hypernyms: ↑aerodynamic force • Hyponyms: ↑ground effect …
4Transverse flow effect — is an aerodynamic effect encountered when the helicopter moves (typically forward) through the air.In a hover, the air above the rotor disk is being pulled down from above and is equally distributed around the rotor disk. The air is descending… …
5Ground effect in cars — For another similarly named effect relating to aircraft, see Ground effect in aircraft. Ground effect is term applied to a series of aerodynamic effects used in car design, which has been exploited to create downforce, particularly in racing cars …
6Magnus effect — The Magnus effect, demonstrated on a ball. v represents the wind velocity, the arrow F the resulting force towards the side of lower pressure. The Magnus effect is the phenomenon whereby a spinning object flying in a fluid creates a whirlpool of… …
7Ground effect in aircraft — Aircraft may be affected by a number of ground effects, aerodynamic effects due to a flying body s proximity to the ground.One of the most important of these effects is the Wing In Ground effect, which refers to the reduction in drag experienced… …
8Coandă effect — Venturi and Coandă effect The Coandă effect  / …
9Ground effect vehicle — A ground effect vehicle, wing in ground effect vehicle (WIG), flarecraft, sea skimmer, ekranoplan, or wing in surface effect ship (WISE) is a vehicle that attains level flight near the surface of the Earth, made possible by a cushion of high… …
10Slip (aerodynamic) — A slip is an aerodynamic state where an aircraft is moving sideways as well as forward relative to the oncoming airflow. In other words, for a conventional aircraft, the nose will not be pointing directly into the relative wind . Flying in a slip …
