  2. Basic airway management - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_airway_management

    Visual demonstration of jaw thrust. The jaw-thrust maneuver is an effective airway technique, particularly in patients in whom cervical spine injury is a concern. The jaw thrust is a technique used on patients with a suspected or possible cervical spinal cord injury and is used on a supine patient. The practitioner uses their index and middle ...

  3. Airway management - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airway_management

    The jaw-thrust maneuver is an effective airway technique, particularly in the patient in whom cervical spine injury is a concern. It is easiest when the patient is positioned supine . The practitioner places their index and middle fingers behind the angle of the mandible to physically push the posterior aspects of the mandible upwards while ...

  4. Basic fighter maneuvers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_fighter_maneuvers

    The maneuver is performed by rolling up and away from the turn, then, when the aircraft's lift vector is aligned with the defender, pulling back on the stick, bringing the fighter back into the turn. This maneuver helps prevent an overshoot caused by the high AOT of lead pursuit, and can also be used to increase the distance between aircraft ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rockwell-MBB_X-31

    The Rockwell-Messerschmitt-Bölkow-Blohm X-31 is an experimental jet aircraft designed to test fighter thrust vectoring technology. It was designed and built by Rockwell and Messerschmitt-Bölkow-Blohm (MBB), as part of a joint United States and German Enhanced Fighter Maneuverability program to provide additional control authority in pitch and yaw, for significantly more maneuverability than ...

  6. Jaw-thrust maneuver - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaw-thrust_maneuver

    The jaw-thrust maneuver is a first aid and medical procedure used to prevent the tongue from obstructing the upper airways. This maneuver and the head-tilt/chin-lift maneuver are two of the main tools of basic airway management, and they are often used in conjunction with other basic airway techniques including bag-valve-mask ventilation. The ...

  7. Tailslide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tailslide

    When the aircraft's speed reaches zero and it stops climbing, the pilot maintains the aircraft in a stand-still position as long as possible (this is greatly helped by thrust vectoring on newer fighter aircraft), and as it starts to fall to the ground backward, tail first, the nose drops through the horizon to a vertical down position and the ...

  8. Head tilt/Chin lift - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Head_tilt/Chin_lift

    This maneuver and the jaw-thrust maneuver are two of the main tools of basic airway management. If cervical spine injury is a concern and/or the patient is immobilized on a long spine board and/or with a cervical collar ; the jaw-thrust maneuver can be used instead .

  9. Maneuvering thruster - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maneuvering_thruster

    A ship equipped with tunnel thrusters, indicated by the circled "X" markings above the water line. Manoeuvering thrusters (bow thrusters and stern thrusters) are transversal propulsion devices built into or mounted to either the bow or stern (front or back, respectively) of a ship or boat to make it more manoeuvrable.
