42Propeller — A propeller is essentially a type of fan which transmits power by converting rotational motion into thrust for propulsion of a vehicle such as an aircraft, ship, or submarine through a mass such as water or air, by rotating two or more twisted… …
43Supercritical airfoil — it has since been mainly applied to increase the fuel efficiency of many high subsonic aircraft. Research in 1940 by DVL s K. A. Kawalki led to subsonic profiles very similar to the supercritical profiles, which was the basis for the objection in …
441954 interceptor — The 1954 interceptor, formally WS 201A, was a US Air Force project to develop a dedicated interceptor aircraft that would enter service in 1954. Several aircraft were developed as part of the project, leading to the F 102 Delta Dagger, F 106… …
