aerodynamic lift
11Aerodynamic center — The aerodynamic center of an airfoil moving through a fluid is the point at which the pitching moment coefficient for the airfoil does not vary with lift coefficient i.e. angle of attackcite web last = Benson first = Tom coauthors = year = 2006… …
12Aerodynamic force — Forces on an aerofoil. Aerodynamic force is exerted on a body by the air (or some other gas) in which the body is immersed, and is due to the relative motion between the body and the gas. Aerodynamic force arises from two causes: [1] [2] …
13Aerodynamic 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… …
14aerodynamic efficiency — A measure that assesses a design to generate aerodynamic forces for efficient flight parameters. The most common measure of aerodynamic efficiency is the lift/drag ratio. See also lift/drag ratio …
15lift — liftable, adj. lifter, n. /lift/, v.t. 1. to move or bring (something) upward from the ground or other support to a higher position; hoist. 2. to raise or direct upward: He lifted his arm in a gesture of farewell; to lift one s head. 3. to remove …
16lift-to-drag ratio — noun a) The instantaneous ratio of lift to drag of an aerodynamic article such as an a wing, entire aircraft or bird. b) The maximum ratio of lift to drag of an …
17lift — [1] The action of the rear end of the vehicle to rise during braking. [2] The amount by which a poppet valve rises when opened. See valve lift. [3] The aerodynamic force caused by greater pressure above the car than below it and having the effect …
18lift — I. noun Etymology: Middle English, from Old English lyft Date: before 12th century chiefly Scottish heavens, sky II. verb Etymology: Middle English, from Old Norse lypta; akin to Old English lyft air more at loft Date: 14th century …
19lift — i. That component of the aerodynamic forces acting on the wing or airfoil section that opposes gravity. It is perpendicular to the flight path or free stream flow. Simply put, it is the difference between the static pressure on the airfoil lower… …
20aerodynamic 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… …
