2Lift-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… …
3blade 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… …
4Dissymmetry of lift — in rotorcraft aerodynamics refers to an uneven amount of lift on opposite sides of the rotor disc. It is a phenomenon that affects single rotor helicopters in lateral flight, whether the direction of flight be forwards, sideways or in reverse.… …
5Sail twist — is a phenomenon in sailing where the head of the sail is at a different angle of attack from the foot of the sail in order to change the lift distribution with height. Twist is measured by comparing the angle of a straight line between the… …
6Asymmetry of lift — is the term used to describe the nature of aerodynamic lift generation by the rotor blades of a helicopter.The phenomenon is best analysed when a helicopter is in the hover condition (i.e., maintaining a fixed altitude above ground level, with no …
7Inline-Twist — Achterbahn mit den meisten Inversionen: „Colossus“ im Thorpe Park Als Inversion bezeichnet man die Überschlags bzw. Überkopfelemente bei Achterbahnen. Im Volksmund werden die Elemente – ungeachtet ihres Typs – oft allgemein als Looping bezeichnet …

10geometric twist — The variation along the span of the airfoil of the angle between the chord and a fixed datum. Propeller blades are designed with a twist (i.e., a higher angle at the hub than at the tip) to equalize the lift (thrust) distribution along the blade… …
