Collection of control yokes at Boeing Future of Flight Museum: 747, 707, B-29, Trimotor.The former two yokes are W-shaped, while the latter two are circular. The cockpit of Concorde, which has an M-shaped yoke mounted on a control column The cockpit of an Embraer ERJ with an M-shaped yoke "W"/"U" style yoke in a Cessna 152 light aircraft, mounted on a horizontal tube protruding from the ...
In hyperbolic geometry, the order-4 dodecahedral honeycomb is one of four compact regular space-filling tessellations (or honeycombs) of hyperbolic 3-space. With Schläfli symbol {5,3,4}, it has four dodecahedra around each edge , and 8 dodecahedra around each vertex in an octahedral arrangement.
The alternated cubic honeycomb is one of 28 space-filling uniform tessellations in Euclidean 3-space, composed of alternating yellow tetrahedra and red octahedra.. In geometry, a convex uniform honeycomb is a uniform tessellation which fills three-dimensional Euclidean space with non-overlapping convex uniform polyhedral cells.
The SOCATA TBM (now Daher TBM) is a family of high-performance single-engine turboprop business and utility light aircraft manufactured by Daher.It was originally collaboratively developed between the American Mooney Airplane Company and French light aircraft manufacturer SOCATA.
The landing gear represents 2.5 to 5% of the maximum takeoff weight (MTOW) and 1.5 to 1.75% of the aircraft cost, but 20% of the airframe direct maintenance cost. A suitably-designed wheel can support 30 t (66,000 lb), tolerate a ground speed of 300 km/h and roll a distance of 500,000 km (310,000 mi) ; it has a 20,000 hours time between overhaul and a 60,000 hours or 20 year life time.
The Scotch yoke (also known as slotted link mechanism [1]) is a reciprocating motion mechanism, converting the linear motion of a slider into rotational motion, or vice versa. The piston or other reciprocating part is directly coupled to a sliding yoke with a slot that engages a pin on the rotating part.
The first record of the conjecture dates back to 36 BC, from Marcus Terentius Varro, but is often attributed to Pappus of Alexandria (c. 290 – c. 350). [2] In the 17th century, Jan Brożek used a similar theorem to argue why bees create hexagonal honeycombs.
Yoke lutes, commonly called lyres, are a class of string instruments, subfamily of lutes, indicated with the codes 321.21 and 321.22 in the Hornbostel–Sachs classification. Description [ edit ]
