  2. Spin (aerodynamics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spin_(aerodynamics)

    A pilot can induce a flat spin once the spin is established by applying full opposite aileron to the direction of rotation—hence, the requirement to neutralize ailerons in the normal spin recovery technique. The aileron application creates a differential induced drag that raises the nose toward a level pitch attitude.

    The British pilot F. P. Raynham had already made a successful recovery from a spin, but the event was unobserved. [ 9 ] In spite of the discovery of "Parke's technique," also known as the "Parke Dive", [ 10 ] pilots were not taught spin-recovery procedures until the beginning of World War I.

  4. Flat spin - Wikipedia

  6. Fluid-attenuated inversion recovery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluid-attenuated_inversion...

    Fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) is a magnetic resonance imaging sequence with an inversion recovery set to null fluids. For example, it can be used in brain imaging to suppress cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) effects on the image, so as to bring out the periventricular hyperintense lesions, such as multiple sclerosis (MS) plaques. [ 1 ]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freeskiing

    Flat Spin; An off-axis flip that is thrown over the shoulder. It is in-between a backflip and a lincoln loop. Cork; Backwards thrown off-axis spin, at no point should the feet be over the head. A short video of Cork. D-Spin; Backwards thrown off-axis spin, similar to a cork except the feet will be more at-level with head, or even slightly above ...

  8. Joseph Kittinger - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Kittinger

    The automatic parachute opener in his equipment saved his life. He went into a flat spin at a rotational velocity of about 120 rpm, the g-forces at his extremities having been calculated to be over 22 times the force of gravity, setting another record. [9] Excelsior II: On December 11, 1959, Kittinger jumped again from about 74,700 feet (22,800 m).

  9. Euler's Disk - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler's_Disk

    Any disk, spun on a reasonably flat surface (such as a coin spun on a table), will exhibit essentially the same type of motion as an Euler Disk, but for a much shorter time. Commercial disks provide a more effective demonstration of the phenomenon, having an optimized aspect ratio and a precision polished, slightly rounded edge to maximize the ...
