  2. Angle of attack - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angle_of_attack

    Below the critical angle of attack, as the angle of attack decreases, the lift coefficient decreases. Conversely, above the critical angle of attack, as the angle of attack increases, the air begins to flow less smoothly over the upper surface of the airfoil and begins to separate from the upper surface. On most airfoil shapes, as the angle of ...

  3. Port of Escape - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Port_of_Escape

    Missouri has amnesia and is prone to explosions of anger. They get involved in a fight outside a dockside pub that leads to a man's death. They go on the run and hide on a barge that belongs to three women. The two men plan to travel to Missouri, Dinty's home state, but not all goes to plan.

  4. Stall (fluid dynamics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stall_(fluid_dynamics)

    Beyond the critical angle of attack, separated flow is so dominant that additional increases in angle of attack cause the lift to fall from its peak value. Piston-engined and early jet transports had very good stall behaviour with pre-stall buffet warning and, if ignored, a straight nose-drop for a natural recovery.

  5. U.S. critical infrastructure protection - Wikipedia

    Tier 1 assets are assets that could cause mission failure if they are compromised or damaged. The methodology UAPACOM adopted and modified is Mission Area Analysis, or MAA. The MAA links combatant command missions to infrastructure assets that are critical to a given Operations Plan, or OPLAN, Contingency Plan, or CONPLAN, or Crisis Action Plan.

  7. Casualty lifting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casualty_lifting

    Casualty lifting: roll-and-lift method with a long spine board alternative for the position of the rescuers; note the arms that cross on the hips roll-and-lift with a flexible stretcher manual roll-and-lift method, or "spoon lifting", with three team members. The rolling methods can only be used on a casualty who does not have an unstable trauma.

  8. Tradeoffs for locomotion in air and water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tradeoffs_for_locomotion...

    In the Exocoetus or monoplane body plan, only the pectoral fins are enlarged to provide lift. Fish with this body plan tend to have a more streamlined body, higher aspect ratios (long, narrow wings), and higher wing loading than fish with the biplane body plan, making these fish well adapted for higher flying speeds. Flying fish with a ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safety-critical_system

    A safety-critical system [2] or life-critical system is a system whose failure or malfunction may result in one (or more) of the following outcomes: [3] [4] death or serious injury to people loss or severe damage to equipment/property
