    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolls-Royce_LiftSystem

    the rear of the F135 engine (nozzle rotated down) that powers the Rolls-Royce LiftSystem. Instead of using separate lift engines, like the Yakovlev Yak-38, or rotating nozzles for engine bypass air, like the Harrier, the "LiftSystem" has a shaft-driven LiftFan, designed by Lockheed Martin and developed by Rolls-Royce, [3] and a thrust vectoring nozzle for the engine exhaust that provides lift ...

  4. High-lift device - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-lift_device

    High-lift devices compensate for this design trade-off by adding lift at takeoff and landing, reducing the speed and distance required to safely land the aircraft, and allowing the use of a more efficient wing in flight. The high-lift devices on the Boeing 747-400, for example, increase the wing area by 21% and increase the lift generated by 90 ...

  5. Chairlift - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chairlift

    If the lift is a detachable chairlift, it is typically referred to as a "high-speed" or "express" lift, which results in an "express quad" or "high-speed six pack". rope speed the speed in meters per second or feet per minute/second at which the rope moves [load] interval the spacing between carriers, measured either by distance or time capacity

  6. Detachable chairlift - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Detachable_chairlift

    A detachable chairlift or high-speed chairlift is a type of passenger aerial lift, which, like a fixed-grip chairlift, consists of numerous chairs attached to a constantly moving wire rope (called a haul rope) that is strung between two (or more) terminals over intermediate towers. In contrast to the fixed-grip version, the chairs of a ...

  7. Lift hill - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lift_hill

    Lift hills usually propel the train to the top of the ride via one of two methods: a chain lift involving a long, continuous chain which trains hook on to and are carried to the top; or a drive tire system in which multiple motorized tires (known as friction wheels) push the train upwards. A typical chain lift consists of a heavy piece of metal ...

  8. Lift-induced drag - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lift-induced_drag

    Lift-induced drag, induced drag, vortex drag, or sometimes drag due to lift, in aerodynamics, is an aerodynamic drag force that occurs whenever a moving object redirects the airflow coming at it. This drag force occurs in airplanes due to wings or a lifting body redirecting air to cause lift and also in cars with airfoil wings that redirect air ...

  9. Variable valve lift - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable_valve_lift

    Variable valve lift (VVL) is an automotive piston engine technology which varies the height a valve opens in order to improve performance, fuel economy or emissions. There are two main types of VVL: discrete, which employs fixed valve lift amounts, and continuous, which is able to vary the amount of lift.
