111Davis wing — The Davis wing is an aircraft wing planform that was used for some time on a variety of World War II aircraft, most notably a number of designs from Consolidated Aircraft, including the Consolidated B 24 Liberator. Use of the Davis wing ended… …
112Pressure coefficient — The pressure coefficient is a dimensionless number which describes the relative pressures throughout a flow field in fluid dynamics. The pressure coefficient is used in aerodynamics and hydrodynamics. Every point in a fluid flow field has its own …
113Delayed stall — The existence of the delayed stall can be related to the a prolonged attachment of the leading edge vortex on an insect s wing. Insects fly at high angles of attack, and through their motion, a leading edge vortex (LEV) and a trailing edge vortex …
114Lifting body — The lifting body is an aircraft configuration where the body itself produces lift. It is related to flying wing which is a wing without a conventional fuselage. A lifting body is a fuselage that generates lift without the shape of a typical thin… …
115USAF Digital DATCOM — The United States Air Force Stability and Control Digital DATCOM is a computer program that implements the methods contained in the USAF Stability and Control DATCOM to calculate the static stability, control and dynamic derivative… …
116Aero Ae 50 — The Aero Ae 50 was a prototype propeller driven military reconnaissance aircraft built in Czechoslovakia.Designed with the artillery spotting role in mind, the Ae 50 was a high wing monoplane of unusual design, with a fuselage that terminated… …
117Kiceniuk Icarus V — The Kiceniuk Icarus V was the fifth designed and third built in a series of hang gliders designed by Taras Kiceniuk, Jr..Kiceniuk s Icarus I and Icarus II were revolutionary hang gliders. These were rigid biplane flying wings, with hand… …
118NACA-Profil — Geometrie eines Profils – 1: Nullauftriebslinie (zero lift line); 2: Flügelnase (leading edge); 3: Krümmungsradius der Flügelnase (nose circle); 4: Skelettlinie (camber); 5: maximale Profildicke (max. thickness); 6: obere Profilseite (upper… …
119NACA-Profile — Geometrie eines Profils – 1: Nullauftriebslinie (zero lift line); 2: Flügelnase (leading edge); 3: Krümmungsradius der Flügelnase (nose circle); 4: Wölbung (camber); 5: maximale Profildicke (max. thickness); 6: obere Profilseite (upper surface);… …
120History of hang gliding — Hang gliding is an air sport employing a foot launchable aircraft known as a hang glider. Typically, hang gliders are composed of an aluminium or composite framed fabric wing. The pilot is ensconced in a harness depending from the airframe, and… …
