3Ground 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… …
4Extractor hood — An extractor hood (U.K.) or range hood (U.S.), also known as a kitchen hood, stove hood, exhaust hood, cooker hood, extraction hood, cooking canopy, ventilation hood, extractor fan or electric chimney, is a device containing a fan that hangs… …
5Dynamic stall — is a non linear unsteady aerodynamic effect that occurs when aerofoils rapidly change the angle of attack. The rapid change can cause a strong vortex to be shed from the leading edge of the aerofoil, and travel backwards above the wing. The… …

9Supermaneuverability — is quality of aircraft defined as a threshold of attitude control exceeding that which is possible by pure aerodynamic maneuverability. It is a trait of some advanced fourth generation and 4.5 generation fighter aircraft and is generally a… …
10airplane — /air playn /, n. 1. a heavier than air aircraft kept aloft by the upward thrust exerted by the passing air on its fixed wings and driven by propellers, jet propulsion, etc. 2. any similar heavier than air aircraft, as a glider or helicopter. Also …
