Ballute-equipped Mark 82 bombs, Mk-82AIRs, being dropped by an American F-111 attack aircraft. The ballute (a portmanteau of balloon and parachute) is a parachute-like braking device optimized for use at high altitudes and supersonic velocities.
The quince (/ ˈ k w ɪ n s /; Cydonia oblonga) is the sole member of the genus Cydonia in the Malinae subtribe (which contains apples, pears, and other fruits) of the Rosaceae family. It is a deciduous tree that bears hard, aromatic bright golden-yellow pome fruit, similar in appearance to a pear.
Quince adds a light floral sweetness to savory dishes too. Use a tablespoon or or two of quince-poaching liquid in a vinaigrette , or add chunks of poached quince to a salad or roast.
Quince wove 100 percent long-staple cotton into a 270-thread-count material that feels breezy and breathable—yes, even during those warm summer nights. ... While Parachute's Percale Sheet does ...
A parachute is a device used to slow the motion of an object through an atmosphere by creating drag or aerodynamic lift. A major application is to support people, for recreation or as a safety device for aviators, who can exit from an aircraft at height and descend safely to earth. A parachute is usually made of a light, strong fabric.
And while the Naadam knit did edge out Quince for a higher overall score, if you have only $50 to spend, Quince’s cashmere is still a great investment for your money.
The gores of Waldseemüller's 1507 globe of the world, the first to use the name "America" (at right). A gore is a sector of a curved surface [1] or the curved surface that lies between two close lines of longitude on a globe and may be flattened to a plane surface with little distortion.
The high ratio of surface area to weight reduces the rate of descent of the parachute, allowing it to stay airborne for longer periods. The aerodynamic surface may also allow a small amount of forward motion, but a parachute always falls faster than it can travel forwards. The airflow around a parachute is typically turbulent.
