    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flight

    Flight dynamics is the science of air and space vehicle orientation and control in three dimensions. The three critical flight dynamics parameters are the angles of rotation in three dimensions about the vehicle's center of mass, known as pitch, roll and yaw (See Tait-Bryan rotations for an explanation).

    This is a list of notable conspiracy theories.Many conspiracy theories relate to supposed clandestine government plans and elaborate murder plots. [3] They usually deny consensus opinion and cannot be proven using historical or scientific methods, and are not to be confused with research concerning verified conspiracies, such as Germany's pretense for invading Poland in World War II.

    Hence, Archaeopteryx would have a very short and ineffective flight. In contrast to Ostrom's theory regarding flight as a hunting mechanism, physics again does not support this model. In order to effectively trap insects with the wings, Archaeopteryx would require a mechanism such as holes in the wings to reduce air resistance. Without this ...

  7. Aerodynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerodynamics

    According to the theory of aerodynamics, a flow is considered to be compressible if the density changes along a streamline. This means that – unlike incompressible flow – changes in density are considered. In general, this is the case where the Mach number in part or all of the flow exceeds 0.3. The Mach 0.3 value is rather arbitrary, but ...

    Energy–maneuverability theory is a model of aircraft performance. It was developed by Col. John Boyd , a fighter pilot, and Thomas P. Christie , a mathematician with the United States Air Force , [ 1 ] and is useful in describing an aircraft's performance as the total of kinetic and potential energies or aircraft specific energy .
