  2. Aircraft flight dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aircraft_flight_dynamics

    Side force due to side slip (in absence of yaw). Sideslip generates a sideforce from the fin and the fuselage. In addition, if the wing has dihedral, side slip at a positive roll angle increases incidence on the starboard wing and reduces it on the port side, resulting in a net force component directly opposite to the sideslip direction.

  3. Parallel curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_curve

    In computer-aided design the preferred term for a parallel curve is offset curve. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] [ 4 ] (In other geometric contexts, the term offset can also refer to translation . [ 5 ] ) Offset curves are important, for example, in numerically controlled machining , where they describe, for example, the shape of the cut made by a round cutting ...

  4. Angle of incidence (aerodynamics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angle_of_incidence...

    Angle of incidence of an airplane wing on an airplane. On fixed-wing aircraft, the angle of incidence (sometimes referred to as the mounting angle [1] or setting angle) is the angle between the chord line of the wing where the wing is mounted to the fuselage, and a reference axis along the fuselage (often the direction of minimum drag, or where applicable, the longitudinal axis).

  5. Rotation around a fixed axis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotation_around_a_fixed_axis

    Rotation around a fixed axis or axial rotation is a special case of rotational motion around an axis of rotation fixed, stationary, or static in three-dimensional space. This type of motion excludes the possibility of the instantaneous axis of rotation changing its orientation and cannot describe such phenomena as wobbling or precession .

    A fixed asset, often referred to as a tangible asset or property, plant, and equipment (PP&E), is a long-term asset that holds value over time and can be used to generate income.

    A fixed budget, as the name implies, is when income and expenses are both fixed and, typically, predicted for the year. It’s simple to create since it is always static.

  9. Multiplane (aeronautics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiplane_(aeronautics)

    Standard triplane arrangement of fixed wings with a fourth uppermost wing comprising left and right hand articulated surfaces which acted as full-span ailerons. [6] Friedrichshafen FF54: Germany: 4 planes: Fighter: 1917: Prototype: Narrow-chord second and third wings, with struts connecting only the upper pair and lower pair of planes.
