  2. 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 ...

    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. 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

    Mariko Nash (1969 – August 2016 [2]), better known by his stage name Reek Daddy, and also Instigator or Freak da Babbi was an American rapper from Vallejo, California. He was the owner of NOYB Records, a subdivision late Mac Dre 's label Thizz Entertainment .

  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-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 ...

  8. Yan Lift - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yan_Lift

    Yan Lift, incorporated as Lift Engineering & Mfg. Co., was a major ski lift manufacturer in North America. Founded in 1965 and based in Carson City , Nevada, the company built at least 200 fixed-grip chairlifts, [ citation needed ] as well as 31 high-speed quads. [ 1 ]

  9. Spoiler (aeronautics) - Wikipedia

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

    In aeronautics, a spoiler (sometimes called a lift spoiler or lift dumper) is a device which intentionally reduces the lift component of an airfoil in a controlled way. Most often, spoilers are plates on the top surface of a wing that can be extended upward into the airflow to spoil the streamline flow.
