body of minimum drag
1Drag Me to Hell — Theatrical poster Directed by Sam Raimi Produced by Gr …
2Drag (physics) — Shape and flow Form drag Skin friction 0% 100% 10% 90% …
3Lift-induced drag — In aerodynamics, lift induced drag, induced drag, vortex drag, or sometimes drag due to lift, is a drag force that occurs whenever a moving object redirects the airflow coming at it. This drag force occurs in airplanes due to wings or a lifting… …
4Sears-Haack body — The Sears Haack body is, generally speaking, the body least susceptible to wave drag. By Whitcomb s Area Rule, the derivative of cross sectional area gives wave drag. Thus, the Sears Haack body is pointed at two ends and grows to a maximum and… …
5Parasitic drag — (also called parasite drag) is drag caused by moving a solid object through a fluid. Parasitic drag is made up of many components, the most prominent being form drag. Skin friction and interference drag are also major components of parasitic drag …
6form drag — Physics. the portion of the resisting force encountered by a body moving through a fluid that is due to the irregularity of shape of the body, reducible to a minimum by streamlining. [1930 35] * * * n. Aeronautics that part of the drag on an… …
7form drag — Physics. the portion of the resisting force encountered by a body moving through a fluid that is due to the irregularity of shape of the body, reducible to a minimum by streamlining. [1930 35] * * * …
8area rule — A prescribed method of design for obtaining minimum zero lift drag for a given aerodynamic configuration, such as a wing body configuration, at a given speed. For a transonic body, the area rule is applied by subtracting from, or adding to, its… …
9Nose cone design — Given the problem of the aerodynamic design of the nose cone section of any vehicle or body meant to travel through a compressible fluid medium (such as a rocket or aircraft, missile or bullet), an important problem is the determination of the… …
10Breaststroke — is a swimming style swum on the breast. It is the most popular recreational style due to its stability and the ability to keep the head out of the water a large portion of the time. In most swimming classes, beginners learn either the… …
