The Kline–Fogleman airfoil, sometimes known as the KF airfoil, is a basic airfoil with one or more steps along the length of the wing. In the early 1960s, a series of KF airfoils were constructed and used in paper planes for the first time. Because of their simple design, high climb and wind resistance, they are now widely used in remotely ...
The result of the move request was: moved to Kline–Fogleman airfoil. The en dash is preferred in combinations such as this one. Favonian 12:00, 25 October 2011 (UTC) Kline Fogleman airfoil → – The new title shows that is was created by Kline AND Fogleman, not by someone named Kline Fogleman.
1910-1924. Designer. James A. Kline. Chronology. Predecessor. Pullman automobile. 1917 Kline Kar Touring 6-38. The Kline Kar was an American automobile built first in York, Pennsylvania, (1910–1912), and then in Richmond, Virginia, (1912–1923). The car was often just referred to as a Kline.
Sunshine Special. (automobile) The Sunshine Special is a modified 1939 Lincoln Model K limousine that was used as the official state car by United States presidents Franklin D. Roosevelt and Harry Truman. Said to have been the "First Presidential car to acquire its own personality", and most closely associated with FDR, [1] the V12 powered four ...
Gurney flap. The Gurney flap (or wickerbill) is a small tab projecting from the trailing edge of a wing. Typically it is set at a right angle to the pressure-side surface of the airfoil [2] and projects 1% to 2% of the wing chord. [3] This trailing edge device can improve the performance of a simple airfoil to nearly the same level as a complex ...
The ball that made Shohei Ohtani the inaugural member of the 50-50 club and placed him firmly in the history books (again) is up for sale – and could be yours for a mere $4.5 million.
A Kammback —also known as a Kamm tail or K-tail —is an automotive styling feature wherein the rear of the car slopes downwards before being abruptly cut off with a vertical or near-vertical surface. A Kammback reduces aerodynamic drag, thus improving efficiency and reducing fuel consumption, [1] while maintaining a practical shape for a ...
An airfoil (American English) or aerofoil (British English) is a streamlined body that is capable of generating significantly more lift than drag. [1] Wings, sails and propeller blades are examples of airfoils. Foils of similar function designed with water as the working fluid are called hydrofoils.
