  2. Prevertebral space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prevertebral_space

    On plain radiography, prevertebral space should be less than 6 mm at C3 vertebral level in children; while in adults, the space should be less than 6 mm at C2 level and less than 22 mm at C6 level. Causes of enlarged prevertebral space could be edema, hematoma, abscess, tumors, and post surgical changes. [5]

  3. V speeds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V_speeds

    Stall speed or minimum steady flight speed for which the aircraft is still controllable. [7] [8] [9] V S 0: Stall speed or minimum flight speed in landing configuration. [7] [8] [9] V S 1: Stall speed or minimum steady flight speed for which the aircraft is still controllable in a specific configuration. [7] [8] V S R: Reference stall speed. [7 ...

    In addition, indirect signs of injury by the vertebral column are incongruities of the vertebral lines, [11] and/or increased thickness of the prevertebral space: [12] X-ray of normal congruous vertebral lines

  5. Danger space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danger_space

    The danger space or alar space, is a region of the neck. [1] The common name originates from the risk that an infection in this space can spread directly to the thorax , and, due to being a space continuous on the left and right, can furthermore allow infection to spread easily to either side.

  6. Escape velocity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Escape_velocity

    Escape speed at a distance d from the center of a spherically symmetric primary body (such as a star or a planet) with mass M is given by the formula [2] [3] = = where: G is the universal gravitational constant (G ≈ 6.67 × 10 −11 m 3 ⋅kg −1 ⋅s −2 ‍ [4])

  7. Speed and rate of climb - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rate_of_climb

    In aeronautics, the rate of climb (RoC) is an aircraft's vertical speed, that is the positive or negative rate of altitude change with respect to time. [1] In most ICAO member countries, even in otherwise metric countries, this is usually expressed in feet per minute (ft/min); elsewhere, it is commonly expressed in metres per second (m/s).

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-15_Flight_188

    During landing, the scramjet broke off due to heat damage. Flight 188 landed on Rogers Dry Lake in California after a flight time of 8 minutes and 17.0 seconds. [2] Flight 188 was the 53rd flight for X-15 Number 2 and the 5th flight as the modified X-15A-2.

  9. Airspeed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airspeed

    An airspeed indicator is a flight instrument that displays airspeed. This airspeed indicator has standardized markings for a multiengine airplane. Aircraft have pitot tubes for measuring airspeed. In aviation, airspeed is the speed of an aircraft relative to the air it is flying through (which itself is usually moving relative to the ground due ...
