Tree taper is the degree to which a tree's stem or bole decreases in diameter as a function of height above ground. Within Forestry and for the purposes of timber production, trees with a high degree of taper are said to have poor form, while those with low taper have good form. The opposite is the case for open-grown amenity trees.
CAD: computer-aided design, computer-aided drafting; cadmium [plating]: CAGE: Commercial and Government Entity [code]: A CAGE code is a unique identifier to label an entity (that is, a specific government agency or corporation at a specific site) that is a CDA, ODA, or MFR of the part defined by the drawing.
The aspect ratio is the span divided by the mean or average chord. [10] It is a measure of how long and slender the wing appears when seen from above or below. Low aspect ratio: short and stubby wing. Structurally efficient, high instantaneous roll rate, low supersonic drag.
The natural outcome of this requirement is a wing design that is thin and wide, which has a low thickness-to-chord ratio. At lower speeds, undesirable parasitic drag is largely a function of the total surface area, which suggests using a wing with minimum chord, leading to the high aspect ratios seen on light aircraft and regional airliners ...
As of Jan. 15, Ninja claims he now has a low taper fade — but whether the haircut is an accurate low taper fade seems to be up for debate in the comments.
The so-called "Planck-taper" window is a bump function that has been widely used [53] in the theory of partitions of unity in manifolds. It is smooth (a C ∞ {\displaystyle C^{\infty }} function) everywhere, but is exactly zero outside of a compact region, exactly one over an interval within that region, and varies smoothly and monotonically ...
Mean aerodynamic chord (MAC) is defined as: [6] = (), where y is the coordinate along the wing span and c is the chord at the coordinate y.Other terms are as for SMC. The MAC is a two-dimensional representation of the whole wing. The pressure distribution over the entire wing can be reduced to a single lift force
Spindle nose on a lathe headstock. The small female taper is a Morse taper to take a lathe center or a tool such as a twist drill. The large male taper takes a lathe chuck, which is retained by the large nut. A machine taper is a system for securing cutting tools or toolholders in the spindle of a machine tool or power tool.
