2. High-lift device - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-lift_device

   High-lift devices compensate for this design trade-off by adding lift at takeoff and landing, reducing the speed and distance required to safely land the aircraft, and allowing the use of a more efficient wing in flight. The high-lift devices on the Boeing 747-400, for example, increase the wing area by 21% and increase the lift generated by 90 ...

   Houston Airport System (HAS) is a department of the City of Houston, Texas, United States that manages city airports. Its administrative offices are on the property of George Bush Intercontinental Airport. [1] [2] It operates Bush, William P. Hobby Airport, and Ellington Airport in Houston. The city of Houston acquired Hobby Airport in 1937. [3]

5. Aerodynamic center - Wikipedia

   = where is the aircraft lift coefficient. The lift and drag forces can be applied at a single point, the center of pressure. However, the location of the center of pressure moves significantly with a change in angle of attack and is thus impractical for aerodynamic analysis.

6. Ellington Airport (Texas) - Wikipedia

   Ellington Airport [1] [2] (IATA: EFD, ICAO: KEFD, FAA LID: EFD) is a public and military use airport in Harris County, Texas, United States. [1] It is owned by the City of Houston's department of aviation, Houston Airport System and located 15 nmi (17 mi; 28 km) southeast of downtown Houston. [1]

7. Lift (force) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lift_(force)

   Lift is proportional to the density of the air and approximately proportional to the square of the flow speed. Lift also depends on the size of the wing, being generally proportional to the wing's area projected in the lift direction. In calculations it is convenient to quantify lift in terms of a lift coefficient based on these factors.
