91Air France Flight 447 — F GZCP, the aircraft involved in the accident Accident summary Date 1 June 2009 …
92Kitesurfing — Kitesurfing, kiteboarding, uses wind power to pull a rider through the water on a small surfboard or a kiteboard (which is like a wakeboard). Generally kiteboarding refers to a style of riding known as free style or wakestyle where as kitesurfing …
93Leading edge slot — The leading edge slot is an aerodynamic feature of the wing of some airplanes to reduce the stall speed and promote good low speed handling qualities. A leading edge slot is a span wise gap in each wing, allowing air to flow from below the wing… …
94Flight control modes (electronic) — New aircraft designs like this Boeing 777 rely on sophisticated flight computers to aid and protect the aircraft in flight. These are governed by computational laws which assign flight control modes during flight Aircraft with fly by wire flight… …
95Atmospheric 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… …
96Delta wing — HAL Tejas has a tailless delta wing configuration …
97Gurney flap — The Gurney Flap (or wickerbill) is a small flat tab projecting from the trailing edge of a wing. Typically it is set at a right angle to the pressure side surface of the airfoil,cite journal author = Van Dam, C.P. coauthors = Yen, D.T.; Vijgen, P …
98P-factor — P factor, also known as asymmetric blade effect and asymmetric disc effect, is an aerodynamic phenomenon experienced by a moving propeller,[1] that is responsible for asymmetrical relocation of the propeller s center of thrust when aircraft is at …
99Static margin — is a concept used to characterize the static stability and controllability of aircraft and missiles.*In aircraft analysis, static margin is defined as the distance between the center of gravity and the neutral point of the aircraft. *In missile… …
100Supermaneuverability — 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… …
