  2. Lift coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lift_coefficient

    The choice of the reference surface should be specified since it is arbitrary. For example, for cylindric profiles (the 3D extrusion of an airfoil in the spanwise direction), the first axis generating the surface is always in the spanwise direction. In aerodynamics and thin airfoil theory, the second axis is commonly in the chordwise direction:

    Consequently, they are usually the products of various technological and engineering disciplines including aerodynamics, air propulsion, avionics, materials science, structural analysis and manufacturing. The interaction between these technologies is known as aerospace engineering.

    Air superiority is "that degree of dominance in the air battle of one force over another which permits the conduct of operations by the former and its related land, sea, air, and special operations forces at a given time and place without prohibitive interference by the opposing force" (JP 1-02).

    Units that were allegedly severely affected included the British Special Air Service, [11] [12] the US Special Operations Forces [13] and the Canadian Joint Task Force 2. [ 14 ] The Center for Public Integrity reported that since 1994, the Defense Department entered into 3,601 contracts worth $300 billion with twelve US-based PMCs, specifically ...

  8. Fish locomotion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fish_locomotion

    Larger organisms use a larger proportion of inertial forces, like pressure, to swim, at a higher Reynolds number. [31] The larvae of ray finned fishes, the Actinopterygii, swim at a quite large range of Reynolds number (Re ≈10 to 900). This puts them in an intermediate flow regime where both inertial and viscous forces play an important role.
