  2. Spoiler (aeronautics) - Wikipedia

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

    In aeronautics, a spoiler (sometimes called a lift spoiler or lift dumper) is a device which increases the drag and decreases the lift of an airfoil in a controlled way. Most often, spoilers are hinged plates on the top surface of a wing that can be extended upward into the airflow to spoil the streamline flow.

    Buffalo wing: United States: A chicken wing section (wingette or drumette) that is generally deep-fried, unbreaded, and coated in a sauce of vinegar-based cayenne pepper, hot sauce, and butter in the kitchen. [1] Canapé: France: A small, prepared and usually decorative food, held in the fingers and often eaten in one bite Carpaccio: Italy

  4. Flap (aeronautics) - Wikipedia

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

    Extending the wing flaps increases the camber or curvature of the wing, raising the maximum lift coefficient or the upper limit to the lift a wing can generate. This allows the aircraft to generate the required lift at a lower speed, reducing the minimum speed (known as stall speed) at which the aircraft will safely maintain flight.

  5. Canard (aeronautics) - Wikipedia

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

    A lifting canard generates an upload, in contrast to a conventional aft-tail which sometimes generates negative lift that must be counteracted by extra lift on the main wing. As the canard lift adds to the overall lift capability of the aircraft, this may appear to favour the canard layout. In particular, at takeoff the wing is most heavily ...

  6. Lift fan - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lift_fan

    The Verticraft Verticar of 1961 was a similar single-fan, directed-thrust, all-wing (or lifting body) aircraft, of conventional but very low-aspect-ratio wing planform. It failed to fly. A tandem-fan version was proposed but never built. [5] By contrast the Ryan XV-5 Vertifan of 1964 was an otherwise conventional delta-wing jet. It had a large ...

  7. Lift-induced drag - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lift-induced_drag

    Lift-induced drag, induced drag, vortex drag, or sometimes drag due to lift, in aerodynamics, is an aerodynamic drag force that occurs whenever a moving object redirects the airflow coming at it. This drag force occurs in airplanes due to wings or a lifting body redirecting air to cause lift and also in cars with airfoil wings that redirect air ...
