On a 2001 episode of That 70's Show, Leo recalls seeing what he thought was a UFO at a football game, which displayed a message that he interpreted as a prediction of a "good year." [47] The blimp appears in Cars. The blimp is mentioned in the song "It Was A Good Day" by Ice Cube.
In aerodynamics, compression lift refers to the increased pressure under an aircraft that uses shock waves generated by its own supersonic flight to generate lift. This can lead to dramatic improvements in lift for supersonic / hypersonic aircraft.
The first XB-70 carried out its maiden flight in September 1964 and many more test flights followed. [71] The data from the XB-70 test flights and aerospace materials development were used in the later B-1 bomber program, the American supersonic transport (SST) program, and via espionage, the Soviet Union's Tupolev Tu-144 SST program.

A horseshoe vortex caused by a (purely theoretical) uniform lift distribution over an aircraft’s wing. The starting vortex is also shown. Any spanwise change in lift distribution sheds a trailing vortex, according to the lifting-line theory.
This regime of aerodynamics is called low-density flow. For a given aerodynamic condition low-density effects depends on the value of a nondimensional parameter called the Knudsen number K n {\displaystyle \mathrm {Kn} } , defined as K n = λ l {\displaystyle \mathrm {Kn} ={\frac {\lambda }{l}}} where l {\displaystyle l} is the typical length ...
In car design, ground effect is a series of effects which have been exploited in automotive aerodynamics to create downforce, particularly in racing cars.This has been the successor to the earlier dominant aerodynamic focus on streamlining.
Max Taitz (1904–1980) – scientist in aerodynamics and flight testing of aircraft, one of the founders of Gromov Flight Research Institute; Kurt Tank (1898–1983) – designer of aircraft in Germany, Argentina, and India; Clarence Gilbert Taylor (1898–1988) – designer of the Piper Cub; Moulton Taylor (1912–1965) – experimental ...
Ford had also planned to introduce 1971 versions of their Aero Warriors, named the King Cobra and Mercury Cyclone Spoiler II, based upon their new for 1971 body-styles, but with a long aerodynamic nose (similar to the Daytona and the Superbird). As with Chrysler, due to the NASCAR rule changes, the project was abandoned.
