    Studies on theropod dinosaurs do suggest multiple (at least 3) independent acquisitions of powered flight however, [1] [2] and a recent study proposes independent acquisitions amidst the different bat clades as well. [3] Powered flight uses muscles to generate aerodynamic force, which allows the animal to produce lift and thrust. The animal may ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_flight

    A direct flight in the aviation industry is any flight between two points by an airline with no change in flight numbers, which may include one or more stops at an intermediate point(s). [1] A stop may either be to get new passengers (or allow some to disembark) or a technical stop over (i.e., for refuelling).

    Communications connect the flight deck to the ground and the flight deck to the passengers. On‑board communications are provided by public-address systems and aircraft intercoms. The VHF aviation communication system works on the airband of 118.000 MHz to 136.975 MHz. Each channel is spaced from the adjacent ones by 8.33 kHz in Europe, 25 kHz ...

    The Reynolds number is a measure of turbulence; flow is laminar (smooth) when the Reynolds number is low, and turbulent when it is high. [11] The Wagner effect was ignored, consciously, in at least one model. [9] One of the most important phenomena that occurs during insect flight is leading edge suction.

  9. Flight zone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flight_zone

    The flight zone can be thought of as the animal's personal space. The size of the flight zone is determined by the tameness of the animal; the more domesticated an animal, the smaller the zone. Fully tame animals have no flight zone. [25] The flight zones in cattle vary depending on the situation they are experiencing. [26]
