  2. Wing twist - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wing_twist

    Wing twist is an aerodynamic feature added to aircraft wings to adjust lift distribution along the wing.. Often, the purpose of lift redistribution is to ensure that the wing tip is the last part of the wing surface to stall, for example when executing a roll or steep climb; it involves twisting the wingtip a small amount downwards in relation to the rest of the wing.

  3. Exercise ball - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exercise_ball

    An exercise ball is a ball constructed of soft elastic, typically in 5 diameters of 10 cm increments, from 35 to 85 cm (14 to 33 in), and filled with air. The air pressure is changed by removing a valve stem and either filling with air or letting the ball deflate.

  4. Washout (aeronautics) - Wikipedia

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

    On aircraft with swept wings, wing tip stall also produces an undesirable nose-up pitching moment which hampers recovery from the stall. Washout may be accomplished by other means e.g. modified aerofoil section, vortex generators, leading edge wing fences, notches, or stall strips. This is referred to as aerodynamic washout.

  7. Aeroelasticity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aeroelasticity

    divergence where the aerodynamic forces increase the twist of a wing which further increases forces; control reversal where control activation produces an opposite aerodynamic moment that reduces, or in extreme cases reverses, the control effectiveness; and; flutter which is uncontained vibration that can lead to the destruction of an aircraft.

  8. Leading-edge extension - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leading-edge_extension

    A leading-edge slat is an aerodynamic surface running spanwise just ahead of the wing leading edge. It creates a leading edge slot between the slat and wing which directs air over the wing surface, helping to maintain smooth airflow at low speeds and high angles of attack. This delays the stall, allowing the aircraft to fly at a higher angle of ...

  9. Exercise equipment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exercise_equipment

    A selection of home exercise equipment: yoga blocks, yoga mat, dumbbells, pull-up/chin-up bar, push-up handles and gloves. Exercise equipment is any apparatus or device used during physical activity to enhance the strength or conditioning effects of that exercise by providing either fixed or adjustable amounts of resistance, or to otherwise enhance the experience or outcome of an exercise routine.
