A slipstream is a region behind a moving object in which a wake of fluid (typically air or water) is moving at velocities comparable to that of the moving object, relative to the ambient fluid through which the object is moving. [1] The term slipstream also applies to the similar region adjacent to an object with a fluid moving around it.
Drafting or slipstreaming is an aerodynamic technique where two moving objects are aligning in a close group to exploit the lead object's slipstream and thus reduce the overall effect of drag. Especially when high speeds are involved, as in motor racing and cycling, drafting can significantly reduce the paceline 's average energy expenditure ...
Slipstream is a literary genre or category of speculative fiction that blends together science fiction, fantasy, and literary fiction [1] or does not remain in conventional boundaries of genre and narrative.
Deflected slipstream is an approach to creating an aircraft that can take off and land vertically (), or at least with a very short runway ().The basic principle is to deflect the slipstream from one or more propellers approximately 90 degrees, to create an upward thrust for vertical takeoff and a downward air cushion for landing.
A stall does not mean that the engine(s) have stopped working, or that the aircraft has stopped moving—the effect is the same even in an unpowered glider aircraft. Vectored thrust in aircraft is used to maintain altitude or controlled flight with wings stalled by replacing lost wing lift with engine or propeller thrust , thereby giving rise ...
Slipstream (computer science), the technique of running a shortened program concurrently and ahead of the execution of the full program Slipstream (computing), a slang term for merging patches or updates into the original installation sources of a program
The author delves into the traditions and superstitions of these items, and also provides guidance on building a Sicilian pantry, measuring by the eye and the hand (as my own Italian American ...
A slipstream processor is an architecture designed to reduce the length of a running program by removing the non-essential instructions. It is a form of speculative computing . Non-essential instructions include such things as results that are not written to memory, or compare operations that will always return true.
