As well as military and ROC use of aircraft recognition, the civilian population in Great Britain, in particular, have also used aircraft recognition for entertainment. Competitions have been run, notably by Air-Britain , for all-comers to take part in, where images of aircraft are displayed for a limited amount of time for competitors to ...
The 10 different classes represent airplanes, cars, birds, cats, deer, dogs, frogs, horses, ships, and trucks. There are 6,000 images of each class. [4] Computer algorithms for recognizing objects in photos often learn by example. CIFAR-10 is a set of images that can be used to teach a computer how to recognize objects.
In general aviation, the loiter phase generally occurs at the end of the flight, when the plane is waiting for clearance to land. [citation needed] In military flights, such as aerial reconnaissance or ground-attack aircraft, the loiter phase is the time that the aircraft has over a target.
V 1 is the critical engine failure recognition speed or takeoff decision speed. It is the speed above which the takeoff will continue even if an engine fails or another problem occurs, such as a blown tire. [9]
Aircraft wing showing the KFm2 Step Aircraft wing showing the KFm3 Step. The Kline–Fogleman airfoil or KF airfoil is a simple airfoil design with single or multiple steps along the length of the wing. The purpose of the step, it is claimed, is to allow some of the displaced air to fall into a pocket behind the step and become part of the ...
A traffic alert and collision avoidance system (TCAS), pronounced / ˈ t iː k æ s / TEE-kas), also known as an Airborne Collision Avoidance System (ACAS), [1] is an aircraft collision avoidance system designed to reduce the incidence of mid-air collision (MAC) between aircraft.
Flight plans mix metric and non-metric units of measurement. The particular units used may vary by aircraft, airline, and location across a flight. Since 1979, [4] the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) has recommended a unification of units of measurement within aviation based on the International System of Units (SI). [5]
Yaw string used in front of the cockpit of an F-14D Tomcat. In flight, pilots are instructed to step on the head of the yaw string; the head is the front of the string, where the string is attached to the aircraft.
