    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bearhawk_5

    The wings are identical to the Bearhawk 4-Place Model B, employing the same Riblett 30-413.5 airfoil [5] and mounting flaps. [4] The aircraft's recommended engine power range is 250 to 315 hp (186 to 235 kW) and standard engines used include the 250 hp (186 kW) Lycoming O-540 , although the recommended engine is the 315 hp (235 kW) Lycoming IO ...

    A section of the rear fuselage from a Vickers Warwick showing the geodetic construction in duralumin. On exhibit at the Armstrong & Aviation Museum at Bamburgh Castle.. A geodetic airframe is a type of construction for the airframes of aircraft developed by British aeronautical engineer Barnes Wallis in the 1930s (who sometimes spelt it "geodesic").

  4. Barrows Bearhawk - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barrows_Bearhawk

    The Bearhawk was designed in the early 1990s [5] as a personal project by Barrows to carry aircraft engines for delivery as freight. It features a strut-braced high-wing, a four-seat enclosed cabin that is 42.5 in (108 cm) wide and accessed by doors, fixed conventional landing gear and a single engine in tractor configuration.

    The wing root fairing of an American Aviation AA-1 Yankee. An aircraft fairing is a structure whose primary function is to produce a smooth outline and reduce drag. [1]These structures are covers for gaps and spaces between parts of an aircraft to reduce form drag and interference drag, and to improve appearance.

  7. T-tail - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-tail

    The fuselage must be made stiffer to counteract this. Many large aircraft can have the fin and rudder fold to reduce height in hangars, however this generally isn't feasible or useful if there is a T-tail. [citation needed] Gulfstream G650 with a T-tail and rear-engines. The T-tail configuration can also cause maintenance problems.

  8. Lifting-line theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lifting-line_theory

    Lifting line theory supposes wings that are long and thin with negligible fuselage, akin to a thin bar (the eponymous "lifting line") of span 2s driven through the fluid. . From the Kutta–Joukowski theorem, the lift L(y) on a 2-dimensional segment of the wing at distance y from the fuselage is proportional to the circulation Γ(y) about the bar a
