2. Spoon lure - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spoon_lure

   The design of the spoon lure is simple: the oblong, concave blade shape of the spoon will cause it to wabble randomly when towed or sinking through water, creating sparkles of light reflection that resemble those of a swimming bait fish's scales when looking from afar. The spoon wabbling also stirs up turbulences that can entice the fish to ...

3. Spinnerbait - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinnerbait

   An In-Line Spinnerbait. A spinnerbait or spinner is any one of a family of hybrid fishing lures that combines the designs of a swimbait with one or more spoon lure blades. . Spinnerbaits get the name from the action of the metallic blades, which passively revolve around the attachment point like a spinning propeller when the lure is in motion, creating varying degrees of vibration and flashing ...

4. Spin fishing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spin_fishing

   The rod tip is held higher in the air than normal and the speed of retrieval is faster. This method is commonly used when float fishing from an inflatable dingy. The spinner is cast directly behind the boat until it settles on the bottom. After the spinner has settled it bounces on the bottom, naturally attracting fish of all species.

5. Coaxial-rotor aircraft - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coaxial-rotor_aircraft

   A rotor blade produces more lift in the advancing half. As a blade moves toward the direction of flight, the forward motion of the aircraft increases the speed of the air flowing around the blade until it reaches a maximum when the blade is perpendicular to the relative wind. At the same time, a rotor blade in the retreating half produces less ...

6. Spinner (aeronautics) - Wikipedia

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

   A fan from a Rolls-Royce RB211 turbofan engine, with its spinner visible at the centre of the fan blades.. The first spinners were fitted to aircraft in the early 1910s, originally to reduce drag caused by the large-diameter rotary engines of that era, and also were prominent on World War I-era aircraft, like the Morane-Saulnier N French monoplane fighter, and for the Central Powers, Robert ...

7. Propeller - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propeller

   The blades are the foil section plates that develop thrust when the propeller is rotated The hub is the central part of the propeller, which connects the blades together and fixes the propeller to the shaft. This is called the boss in the UK. Rake is the angle of the blade to a radius perpendicular to the shaft.
