aerodynamics of aircraft
101Coandă effect — Venturi and Coandă effect The Coandă effect  / …
102Magnus 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… …
103Autorotation — In aviation, the word autorotation is applied to operation of fixed wing aircraft and rotary wing aircraft. The word has significantly different meanings in each of these two applications.In the operation of fixed wing aircraft, autorotation is… …

105Pitching moment — In aerodynamics, the pitching moment on an airfoil is the moment produced by the aerodynamic force on the airfoil if that aerodynamic force is considered to be applied, not at the center of pressure, but at the aerodynamic center of the airfoil.… …
106Configuration d'aile — Réplique du Fokker Dr.I, triplan piloté par le Baron rouge lors de la Première Guerre mondiale. Depuis les débuts de l aviation, de nombreuses configurations d aile ont été imaginées pour permettre aux « plus lourds que l air » – d… …
107Atmospheric reentry — refers to the movement of human made or natural objects as they enter the atmosphere of a planet from outer space, in the case of Earth from an altitude above the edge of space. This article primarily addresses the process of controlled reentry… …
108Airfoil — An airfoil (in American English) or aerofoil (in British English) is the shape of a wing or blade (of a propeller, rotor or turbine) or sail as seen in cross section. An airfoil shaped body moved through a fluid produces a force perpendicular to… …
109A. M. O. Smith — Apollo Milton Olin Smith (usually referred to as A.M.O. Smith) (July 2, 1911 – February 2, 1997) was an important figure in the aerodynamics field at Douglas Aircraft from 1938 to 1975 and an early pioneer in the area of Computational Fluid… …
110Wright Brothers Medal — Established in 1927, this award recognizes individuals who have made notable contributions in the engineering design, development, or operation of air and space vehicles. It is administered by the SAE and is based on contributed research… …
