  2. Patagium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patagium

    Wing of a desert red bat (Lasiurus blossevillii) In bats, the skin forming the surface of the wing is an extension of the skin of the abdomen that runs to the tip of each digit, uniting the forelimb with the body. The patagium of a bat has four distinct parts: Propatagium: the patagium present from the neck to the first digit.

  3. Flight spare - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flight_spare

    As such, spare parts may be swapped onto a craft before launch, or completed spare spacecraft may be launched if the flight model is lost. NASA has two basic types of spares, development spares and operational spares. NASA makes a determination about which parts need spares based on whether parts are custom built, and the lead-time for procurement.

  4. Spar (aeronautics) - Wikipedia

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

    The wing spar provides the majority of the weight support and dynamic load integrity of cantilever monoplanes, often coupled with the strength of the wing 'D' box itself. . Together, these two structural components collectively provide the wing rigidity needed to enable the aircraft to fly saf

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

    The wings of kites, [1] hang gliders, [2] paragliders, [3] powered kites, [4] powered hang gliders, ultralights, windmills [5] are aircraft that have versions that use ribs to form the wing shape. For full size and flying model aircraft wing structures that are usually made of wood, ribs can either be in one piece (forming the airfoil at that ...

  6. Bat wing development - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bat_wing_development

    Recently, there have been comparative studies of mouse and bat forelimb development to understand the genetic basis of morphological evolution. Consequently, the bat wing is a valuable evo-devo model for studying the evolution of vertebrate limb diversity. Diagram showing homologous skeletal structures of bat and mouse

  7. Bat flight - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bat_flight

    A bat wing, which is a highly modified forelimb. Bats are the only mammal capable of true flight. Bats use flight for capturing prey, breeding, avoiding predators, and long-distance migration. Bat wing morphology is often highly specialized to the needs of the species. This image is displaying the anatomical makeup of a specific bat wing.

    The FAA permits the aircraft owner or operator to produce replacement parts from scratch (using the original as a template and using the same dimensions and materials), and document it in the logbooks as an "owner-produced part" in accordance with FAR §21.9(a)(5). [7]
