  2. Turn (angle) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turn_(angle)

    The above definition is part of the ISQ, formalized in the international standard ISO 80000-3 (Space and time), [87] and adopted in the International System of Units (SI). [88] [89] Rotation count or number of revolutions is a quantity of dimension one, resulting from a ratio of angular displacement. It can be negative and also greater than 1 ...

  3. Counter-rotating propellers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counter-rotating_propellers

    In designing the Lockheed P-38 Lightning, the decision was made to reverse the counter-rotation such that the tops of the propeller arcs move outwards (counterclockwise on the left and clockwise on the right), away from each other. Tests on the initial XP-38 prototype demonstrated greater accuracy in gunnery with the unusual configuration.

  4. Contra-rotating propellers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contra-rotating_propellers

    Contra-rotating propellers Contra-rotating propellers on the Rolls-Royce Griffon-powered P-51XR Mustang Precious Metal at the 2014 Reno Air Races. Aircraft equipped with contra-rotating propellers (CRP) [1] coaxial contra-rotating propellers, or high-speed propellers, apply the maximum power of usually a single piston engine or turboprop engine to drive a pair of coaxial propellers in contra ...

  5. Conrotatory and disrotatory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conrotatory_and_disrotatory

    In organic chemistry, an electrocyclic reaction can either be classified as conrotatory or disrotatory based on the rotation at each end of the molecule. In conrotatory mode, both atomic orbitals of the end groups turn in the same direction (such as both atomic orbitals rotating clockwise or counter-clockwise). In disrotatory mode, the atomic ...

  6. List of Lycoming O-360 variants - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Lycoming_O-360...

    Same as the HIO-360-F1AD but with counter-clockwise (reverse) rotation. Eligible for turbosupercharging. When equipped with modified Enstrom turbocharger Kit No. SK-28-121000, this engine is capable of delivering 225 hp (168 kW) at 3050 rpm at a manifold pressure of 39 inches Hg to a critical altitude of 12,000 ft (3,658 m).

  7. Active and passive transformation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_and_passive...

    In the passive transformation (right), point P stays fixed, while the coordinate system rotates counterclockwise by an angle θ about its origin. The coordinates of P ′ after the active transformation relative to the original coordinate system are the same as the coordinates of P relative to the rotated coordinate system.

  8. Balancing of rotating masses - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balancing_of_rotating_masses

    When an unbalanced system is rotating, periodic linear and/or torsional forces are generated which are perpendicular to the axis of rotation. The periodic nature of these forces is commonly experienced as vibration. These off-axis vibration forces may exceed the design limits of individual machine elements, reducing the service life of these parts.

  9. Contra-rotating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contra-rotating

    Contra-rotating, also referred to as coaxial contra-rotating, is a technique whereby parts of a mechanism rotate in opposite directions about a common axis, usually to minimise the effect of torque. Examples include some aircraft propellers , resulting in the maximum power of a single piston or turboprop engine to drive two propellers in ...
