2. Houston Airport System - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Houston_Airport_System

   Houston Airport System (HAS) is a department of the City of Houston, Texas, United States that manages city airports. Its administrative offices are on the property of George Bush Intercontinental Airport. [1] [2] It operates Bush, William P. Hobby Airport, and Ellington Airport in Houston. The city of Houston acquired Hobby Airport in 1937. [3]

3. Aerodynamic center - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerodynamic_center

   = where is the aircraft lift coefficient. The lift and drag forces can be applied at a single point, the center of pressure. However, the location of the center of pressure moves significantly with a change in angle of attack and is thus impractical for aerodynamic analysis.

4. Lift coefficient - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lift_coefficient

   A lifting body is a foil or a complete foil-bearing body such as a fixed-wing aircraft. C L is a function of the angle of the body to the flow, its Reynolds number and its Mach number. The section lift coefficient c l refers to the dynamic lift characteristics of a two-dimensional foil section, with the reference area replaced by the foil chord ...

6. Lift (force) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lift_(force)

   Lift is proportional to the density of the air and approximately proportional to the square of the flow speed. Lift also depends on the size of the wing, being generally proportional to the wing's area projected in the lift direction. In calculations it is convenient to quantify lift in terms of a lift coefficient based on these factors.

7. Aspect ratio (aeronautics) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aspect_ratio_(aeronautics)

   An ASH 31 glider with very high aspect ratio (AR=33.5) and lift-to-drag ratio (L/D=56) In aeronautics, the aspect ratio of a wing is the ratio of its span to its mean chord. It is equal to the square of the wingspan divided by the wing area. Thus, a long, narrow wing has a high aspect ratio, whereas a short, wide wing has a low aspect ratio. [1]

8. Air Transport Services Group - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_Transport_Services_Group

   Air Transport Services Group Inc. (ATSG) is an American aviation holding company which provides air cargo transportation and related services to domestic and foreign air carriers and other companies that outsource their air cargo lift requirements. ATSG, is the world's largest lessor of converted Boeing 767 freighter aircraft through its ...

9. Lift-to-drag ratio - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lift-to-drag_ratio

   The lift then increases as the square of the airspeed. Whenever an aerodynamic body generates lift, this also creates lift-induced drag or induced drag. At low speeds an aircraft has to generate lift with a higher angle of attack, which results in a greater induced drag. This term dominates the low-speed side of the graph of lift versus velocity.
