  2. Advance ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advance_ratio

    When the vehicle is moving at low speed or the propeller is rotating at high speed, the advance ratio is a low number. The advance ratio is a useful non-dimensional quantity in helicopter and propeller theory, since propellers and rotors will experience the same angle of attack on every blade airfoil section at the same advance ratio regardless ...

  3. Wilks coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilks_Coefficient

    The formula can also be used in team and handicap competitions where the team includes lifters of significantly varying bodyweights. The Wilks formula, like its predecessors (the O'Carroll [ 3 ] and Schwartz [ 4 ] formulas), was set up to address the imbalances whereby lighter lifters tend to have a greater Power-to-weight ratio , with lighter ...

    Also isometric graphics. Graphic rendering technique of three-dimensional objects set in a two-dimensional plane of movement. Often includes games where some objects are still rendered as sprites. 360 no-scope A 360 no-scope usually refers to a trick shot in a first or third-person shooter video game in which one player kills another with a sniper rifle by first spinning a full circle and then ...

  5. Blade solidity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blade_solidity

    If an impeller has only a few blades (i.e a large pitch), it will result in less lift force and in a similar manner for more blades (i.e. very low pitch), there will be high drag force. Blade solidity should not be confused with rotor solidity , which is the ratio of the total area of the rotor blades to the swept area of the rotor.

  7. Compositional data - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compositional_data

    In high throughput sequencing, data obtained are typically transformed to relative abundances, rendering them compositional. In probability and statistics, a partition of the sampling space into disjoint events is described by the probabilities assigned to such events. The vector of D probabilities can be considered as a composition of D parts ...

  8. Thickness-to-chord ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thickness-to-chord_ratio

    The natural outcome of this requirement is a wing design that is thin and wide, which has a low thickness-to-chord ratio. At lower speeds, undesirable parasitic drag is largely a function of the total surface area, which suggests using a wing with minimum chord, leading to the high aspect ratios seen on light aircraft and regional airliners ...

  9. Geometric progression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometric_progression

    A geometric progression, also known as a geometric sequence, is a mathematical sequence of non-zero numbers where each term after the first is found by multiplying the previous one by a fixed number called the common ratio. For example, the sequence 2, 6, 18, 54, ... is a geometric progression with a common ratio of 3.
