  2. Schlieren photography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schlieren_photography

    Background-oriented schlieren technique (BOS [7]) relies on measuring or visualizing shifts in focused images. In these techniques, the background and the schlieren object (the distortion to be visualized) are both in focus and the distortion is detected because it moves part of the background image relative to its original position.

  3. McDonnell Douglas F/A-18 Hornet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McDonnell_Douglas_F/A-18...

    The F/A-18 was designed to be a highly versatile aircraft due to its avionics, cockpit displays, and excellent aerodynamic characteristics, with the ability to carry a wide variety of weapons. The aircraft can perform fighter escort, fleet air defense, suppression of enemy air defenses, air interdiction, close air support, and aerial reconnaissance

  4. McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McDonnell_Douglas_F-4...

    The McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II [N 1] is an American tandem two-seat, twin-engine, all-weather, long-range supersonic jet interceptor and fighter-bomber that was developed by McDonnell Aircraft for the United States Navy. [4]

  5. Aircraft flight dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aircraft_flight_dynamics

    The wind frame is a convenient frame to express the aerodynamic forces and moments acting on an aircraft. In particular, the net aerodynamic force can be divided into components along the wind frame axes, with the drag force in the −x w direction and the lift force in the −z w direction. Mnemonics to remember angle names

  6. Aerodynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerodynamics

    Internal aerodynamics is the study of flow through passages in solid objects. For instance, internal aerodynamics encompasses the study of the airflow through a jet engine or through an air conditioning pipe. Aerodynamic problems can also be classified according to whether the flow speed is below, near or above the speed of sound.

    Microsoft said they wanted not just to license the image for use as Windows XP's default wallpaper, but to buy all the rights to it. [10]: 3:37 [24] They offered O'Rear what he says is the second-largest payment ever made to a photographer for a single image; however, he signed a confidentiality agreement and cannot disclose the exact amount.

  8. Wunibald Kamm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wunibald_Kamm

    Wunibald Kamm (26 April 1893 – 11 October 1966) was an automobile designer, engineer, and aerodynamicist.He is best known for his breakthrough in reducing car turbulence at high speeds; the style of car bodywork based on his research has come to be known as a Kammback or a Kamm-tail.

  9. Wingtip vortices - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wingtip_vortices

    When a wing generates aerodynamic lift, it results in a region of downwash between the two vortices. [3] [2]: 8.1.1 [4] Three-dimensional lift and the occurrence of wingtip vortices can be approached with the concept of horseshoe vortex and described accurately with the Lanchester–Prandtl theory.
