12Sailing — is the art of controlling a sailing vessel. By changing the rigging, rudder and dagger or centre board, a sailor manages the force of the wind on the sails in order to change the direction and speed of a boat. Mastery of the skill requires… …
13Oswald efficiency number — The Oswald efficiency, similar to the span efficiency, is a correction factor that represents the change in drag with lift of a three dimensional wing or airplane, as compared with an ideal wing having the same aspect ratio and an elliptical lift …
14blade twist — i. The undesirable variation in pitch from root to tip caused by aerodynamic loading. ii. The twist built into a propeller or rotor blade. In the case of a propeller, it is to ensure that the pitch angle at the root is greater than the tip. In… …
15Vorticity — is a mathematical concept used in fluid dynamics. It can be related to the amount of circulation or rotation (or more strictly, the local angular rate of rotation) in a fluid.Clancy, L.J., Aerodynamics , Section 7.11] The average vorticity zeta… …
16Elliptical wing — An elliptical wing is a wing planform shape, first seen on aircraft in the 1930s, which minimizes induced drag. Elliptical taper shortens the chord near the wingtips in such a way that all parts of the wing experience equivalent downwash, and… …
