  2. Ceiling (aeronautics) - Wikipedia

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

    The service ceiling is the maximum altitude of an aircraft during normal operations. Specifically, it is the density altitude at which flying in a clean configuration , at the best rate of climb airspeed for that altitude and with all engines operating and producing maximum continuous power, will produce a given rate of climb.

  3. Flight envelope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flight_envelope

    This maximum altitude is known as the service ceiling (top limit line in the diagram), and is often quoted for aircraft performance. The area where the altitude for a given speed can no longer be increased at level flight is known as zero rate of climb and is caused by the lift of the aircraft getting smaller at higher altitudes, until it no ...

  4. Floor and ceiling functions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floor_and_ceiling_functions

    In mathematics, the floor function is the function that takes as input a real number x, and gives as output the greatest integer less than or equal to x, denoted ⌊x⌋ or floor(x). Similarly, the ceiling function maps x to the least integer greater than or equal to x, denoted ⌈x⌉ or ceil(x). [1]

  5. Rate of climb - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rate_of_climb

    V x increases with altitude and V Y decreases with altitude until they converge at the airplane's absolute ceiling, the altitude above which the airplane cannot climb in steady flight. The Cessna 172 is a four-seat aircraft. At maximum weight it has a V Y of 75 kn (139 km/h) indicated airspeed [4] providing a rate of climb of 721 ft/min (3.66 m/s).

  6. Ceiling (disambiguation) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceiling_(disambiguation)

    A ceiling is the upper surface of a room. Ceiling may also refer to: Ceiling function in mathematics; Glass ceiling, a barrier to advancement of a qualified person; Ceiling (aeronautics), the maximum density altitude an aircraft can reach under a set of conditions; Price ceiling, an imposed limit on the price of a product

  7. Idempotence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idempotence

    the floor, ceiling and fractional part functions are idempotent; the real part function () of a complex number, is idempotent. the subgroup generated function from the power set of a group to itself is idempotent; the convex hull function from the power set of an affine space over the reals to itself is idempotent;

    The last image we have of Patrick Cagey is of his first moments as a free man. He has just walked out of a 30-day drug treatment center in Georgetown, Kentucky, dressed in gym clothes and carrying a Nike duffel bag.

    For example, 1.4 rounded is 1, the floor of 1.4 is 1, the ceiling of 1.4 is 2. 1.6 rounded is 2, the floor of 1.6 is 1, the ceiling of 1.6 is 2. So the floor of a fraction is always down; the ceiling of a fraction is always up; rounding can be up or down depending upon
