  2. Aileron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aileron

    To achieve this, lead weights may be added to the front of the aileron. In some aircraft the aileron construction may be too heavy to allow this system to work without an excessive increase in the weight of the aileron. In this case, the weight may be added to a lever arm to move the weight well out in front to the aileron body. These balance ...

  3. Flight control surfaces - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flight_control_surfaces

    A raised aileron reduces lift on that wing and a lowered one increases lift, so moving the aileron control in this way causes the left wing to drop and the right wing to rise. This causes the aircraft to roll to the left and begin to turn to the left. Centering the control returns the ailerons to the neutral position, maintaining the bank angle ...

  6. Pitts Special - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pitts_Special

    Four-aileron, single-seat, factory-built, symmetrical wing, symmetrical ailerons, constant speed two- or three-blade Hartzell propeller. The top wing was moved forward compared to the S-1S for weight and balance. This model was in production in 2008 from Aviat Aircraft as an "on-demand" manufacture product. [4] [8] S-1-11B

  7. Balanced rudder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balanced_rudder

    A balanced rudder is a rudder in which the axis of rotation of the rudder is behind its front edge. This means that when the rudder is turned, the pressure of water caused by the ship's movement through the water acts upon the forward part to exert a force which increases the angle of deflection, so counteracting the pressure acting on the after part, which acts to reduce the angle of deflection.

    10. You're taking medications that cause weight gain "Certain medications can induce weight gain or hinder weight loss by altering hormones, changing appetite, or causing water retention," says Costa.

  9. Aircraft flight mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aircraft_flight_mechanics

    Aircraft flight mechanics are relevant to fixed wing (gliders, aeroplanes) and rotary wing (helicopters) aircraft.An aeroplane (airplane in US usage), is defined in ICAO Document 9110 as, "a power-driven heavier than air aircraft, deriving its lift chiefly from aerodynamic reactions on surface which remain fixed under given conditions of flight".
