52Kite (Styrofoam-only) — Some kites are made of Styrofoam only. Styrofoam is a tradename for expanded polystyrene thermal insulation material (often referred to as EPS), manufactured by Dow Chemical Company; it is bluish in color. Popular abuse of names has EPS foam cups …
53High-speed flight — In high speed flight the assumptions of incompressibility of the air used in low speed aerodynamics no longer apply. In subsonic aerodynamics, the theory of lift is based upon the forces generated on a body and a moving gas (air) in which it is… …

58Ground 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… …
59Kutta condition — The Kutta condition is a principle in steady flow fluid dynamics, especially aerodynamics, that is applicable to solid bodies which have sharp corners such as the trailing edges of airfoils. It is named for German mathematician and aerodynamicist …
60Drag coefficient — In fluid dynamics, the drag coefficient (commonly denoted as: cd, cx or cw) is a dimensionless quantity that is used to quantify the drag or resistance of an object in a fluid environment such as air or water. It is used in the drag equation,… …
