  2. Wing configuration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wing_configuration

    Structurally and aerodynamically more efficient than a constant chord wing, and easier to make than the elliptical type. Trapezoidal: a tapered wing with straight leading and trailing edges: may be unswept or swept. [13] [14] [15] The straight tapered wing is one of the most common wing planforms, as seen on the Messerschmitt Bf 109. Inverse or ...

  3. Elliptical wing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elliptical_wing

    An elliptical wing is a wing planform whose leading and trailing edges each approximate two segments of an ellipse. It is not to be confused with annular wings , which may be elliptically shaped. Relatively few aircraft have adopted the elliptical wing, an even-smaller number of which attained mass production ; the majority of aircraft that did ...

  4. List of Arkansas area codes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Arkansas_area_codes

    With Arkansas being relatively sparsely populated, this arrangement worked well until 1997, when the phone numbers in area code 501 were in danger of being used up. Area code 870 was created in April 1997 to serve the most rural parts of the state (originally specifically not Little Rock metro, Fort Smith or Northwest Arkansas). In January 2002 ...

  5. Lifting-line theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lifting-line_theory

    Lifting line theory supposes wings that are long and thin with negligible fuselage, akin to a thin bar (the eponymous "lifting line") of span 2s driven through the fluid. . From the Kutta–Joukowski theorem, the lift L(y) on a 2-dimensional segment of the wing at distance y from the fuselage is proportional to the circulation Γ(y) about the bar a

  6. Arkansas Bar Association - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arkansas_Bar_Association

    The Arkansas Bar Association does not control lawyer licensing; that is a function of the Arkansas Board of Law Examiners. [5] It does not enforce the requirement that Arkansas lawyers must complete 12 credits of Continuing Legal Education each year.; [ 6 ] that is the function of the Arkansas Continuing Legal Education Board [ 7 ]

  7. Chord (aeronautics) - Wikipedia

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

    Mean aerodynamic chord (MAC) is defined as: [6] = (), where y is the coordinate along the wing span and c is the chord at the coordinate y.Other terms are as for SMC. The MAC is a two-dimensional representation of the whole wing. The pressure distribution over the entire wing can be reduced to a single lift force

  8. Trapezoidal wing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trapezoidal_wing

    Trapezoidal planform. In aeronautics, a trapezoidal wing is a straight-edged and tapered wing planform.It may have any aspect ratio and may or may not be swept. [1] [2] [3]The thin, unswept, short-span, low-aspect-ratio trapezoidal configuration offers some advantages for high-speed flight and has been used on a small number of aircraft types.

  9. Whippletree (mechanism) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whippletree_(mechanism)

    The centre of the bar is connected to the load, and the traces attach to its ends. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Whippletrees are used especially when pulling a dragged load such as a plough , harrow , log or canal boat or for pulling a vehicle (by the leaders in a team with more than one row of animals).
