The speed to fly is the optimum speed through sinking or rising air mass to achieve either the furthest glide, or fastest average cross-country speed. [1] Most speed to fly setups use units of either airspeed in kilometers per hour (km/h) and climb rate in meters per second (m/s), or airspeed in knots (kn) and climb rate in feet per minute (ft ...
If above ideal autorotation speed, a pilot can avoid the deadman's curve by flaring, converting airspeed into height, and increasing rotor RPM through coning. [ 4 ] [ 1 ] Likewise, an increase in height without a corresponding increase in airspeed is dangerous, as a crash from this height may not be survivable.
Velodrome. Banking in the turns, called cant, allows riders to keep their bikes relatively perpendicular to the surface while riding at speed.When travelling through the turns at racing speed, which may exceed 85 km/h (52.8 mph), the banking attempts to match the natural lean of a bicycle moving through that curve.
Colton Herta remains a top the speed chart. Katherine Legge trails at 213.790. ∎ Colton Herta has the top lap at 226.222 mph after 15 minutes, with 31 cars at race speed.
Defending Indianapolis 500 winner Marcus Ericsson looked like a double threat in Indianapolis 500 practice Thursday. Ericsson's teammate, Scott Dixon, had the second-fastest overall lap for the ...
As of May 15, 2017, 41 states have maximum speed limits of 70 mph (113 km/h) or higher. 18 of those states have 75 miles per hour (121 km/h) speed limits or higher, while 7 states of that same portion have 80 mph (129 km/h) speed limits, with Texas even having an 85 miles per hour (137 km/h) speed limit on one of its toll roads.
Seven people have been arrested and charged in connection to an alleged social media drug ring at Rutgers University, New Jersey officials announced this week.
High Speed Test Track: 7.5-mile (12.1-km) oval test track contains four asphalt lanes on the front straightaway and curves and five asphalt lanes on the back straightaway. The 7.5-mile test track's parabolic banking allows neutral speeds up to 140 mph (225 km/h). The test track features level 2-mile (3.2 km) straightaways.
