93Flight — is the process by which an object achieves sustained movement either through the air (or movement beyond earth s atmosphere, in the case of spaceflight) by aerodynamically generating lift, propulsive thrust or aerostatically using… …
94Ice protection system — Ice protection systems are designed to keep atmospheric ice from accumulating on aircraft flight surfaces while in flight. The effects of ice accretion on an aircraft can cause the shape of airfoils and flight control surfaces to change, which… …
95Longitudinal static stability — is important in determining whether an aircraft will be able to fly as intended. Static stability As any vehicle moves it will be subjected to minor changes in the forces that act on it, and in its speed. * If such a change causes further changes …
96Dihedral (aircraft) — For other uses, see Dihedral. The upward tilt of the wings and tailplane of an aircraft, as seen on this Boeing 737, is called dihedral angle Dihedral angle is the upward angle from horizontal of the wings or tailplane of a fixed wing aircraft.… …
