  2. Longitudinal stability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longitudinal_stability

    For a tailless aircraft, the neutral point coincides with the aerodynamic center, and so for such aircraft to have longitudinal static stability, the center of gravity must lie ahead of the aerodynamic center. [13] For missiles with symmetric airfoils, the neutral point and the center of pressure are coincident and the term neutral point is not ...

  3. Angles between flats - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angles_between_flats

    The angle > will be the angle between the subspaces and in the orthogonal complement to . Imagining the angle between two planes in 3D, one intuitively thinks of the largest angle, θ 2 > 0 {\displaystyle \theta _{2}>0} .

  4. Aircraft flight dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aircraft_flight_dynamics

    angle of attack α: angle between the x w,y w-plane and the aircraft longitudinal axis and, among other things, is an important variable in determining the magnitude of the force of lift; When performing the rotations described earlier to obtain the body frame from the Earth frame, there is this analogy between angles: β, ψ (sideslip vs yaw)

  5. Iron (golf) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_(golf)

    Most club manufacturers offer customized lie angles between 2° flat and 2° upright. If an iron lie is too upright it can cause a shot to miss to the left for a right handed golfer (or right for a left handed golfer) and if the lie angle is too flat, it can cause a shot to miss to the right for a right handed golfer (or left for a left handed ...

  6. Metacentric height - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metacentric_height

    Similarly, the downflooding angle is the angle at which water will be able to flood deeper into the vessel. Finally, the point of vanishing stability is a point of unstable equilibrium. Any heel lesser than this angle will allow the vessel to right itself, while any heel greater than this angle will cause a negative righting moment (or heeling ...

  7. Angle of incidence (aerodynamics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angle_of_incidence...

    Angle of incidence of an airplane wing on an airplane. On fixed-wing aircraft, the angle of incidence (sometimes referred to as the mounting angle [1] or setting angle) is the angle between the chord line of the wing where the wing is mounted to the fuselage, and a reference axis along the fuselage (often the direction of minimum drag, or where applicable, the longitudinal axis).

  8. This is why you should know your foot arch type - AOL

    www.aol.com/news/why-know-foot-arch-type...

    There are three arch types: neutral, high and flat. Each is defined by how much of your midfoot touches the ground. Flat arch. If you have flat arches, also called flat feet or low arches, the ...

  9. Absolute geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absolute_geometry

    In Euclid's Elements, the first 28 Propositions and Proposition 31 avoid using the parallel postulate, and therefore are valid in absolute geometry.One can also prove in absolute geometry the exterior angle theorem (an exterior angle of a triangle is larger than either of the remote angles), as well as the Saccheri–Legendre theorem, which states that the sum of the measures of the angles in ...
