Pier Giuseppe Gurgo-Salice (1894–1974), generally credited as Pierre Gurgo-Salice, was an Italian film producer. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] He was a senior figure at Lux Film , an Italian film production company that specialised in co-productions with France where Lux had a subsidiary. [ 3 ]
Concealed hinge drilling jig with embedded Forstner bit. A concealed hinge drilling jig is a type of support jig, designed for drilling 3 cm holes to fit concealed hinges into modern wardrobe doors. As many of the complementary tools used in woodworking, it uses an electric hand-drill for its operation, making a Forstner bit to turn.
The main control surfaces of a fixed-wing aircraft are attached to the airframe on hinges or tracks so they may move and thus deflect the air stream passing over them. This redirection of the air stream generates an unbalanced force to rotate the plane about the associated axis. Flight control surfaces of Boeing 727
On some aircraft, a complex hinge design allows half the door to open inward like a plug door, and the other half to open outward. Initially the door can be rotated to fit through the opening for the non-plug half so the whole door then opens outward; this is called a semi-plug door. Alternatively, the door may have locking hinged panels at the ...
The horizontal hinge, called the flapping hinge, allows the blade to move up and down. This movement is called flapping and is designed to compensate for dissymmetry of lift . The flapping hinge may be located at varying distances from the rotor hub, and there may be more than one hinge.
A floating hinge is a hinge that, while able to behave as a normal hinge, enables one of the objects to move away from the other - hence "float". In effect, the hinge allows for two parallel axes of rotation – one for each object joined by the hinge – and each axis can be moved relative to the position of the other.
Spring hinge uses a spring mounted in a hinge and is integral to its design. The spring can be either visible or hidden within a tube and can be found more commonly on interior doors. When used on doors that open both ways they are known as double action spring hinges. Self-closing hinges are an alternative to using a door closer.
Aircraft flight mechanics are relevant to fixed wing (gliders, aeroplanes) and rotary wing (helicopters) aircraft.An aeroplane (airplane in US usage), is defined in ICAO Document 9110 as, "a power-driven heavier than air aircraft, deriving its lift chiefly from aerodynamic reactions on surface which remain fixed under given conditions of flight".
