Aircraft — An aircraft is a vehicle which is able to fly through the Earth s atmosphere or through any other atmosphere. Rocket vehicles are not aircraft if they are not supported by the surrounding air. All the human activity which surrounds aircraft is… … Wikipedia
Military disc-shaped aircraft — The development of military disc shaped aircraft apparently dates back to World War II. A number of disc shaped aircraft have been proposed over the years, a few being built. Contents 1 Nemeth Umbrella Plane 2 Sack AS.6 3 Vought Flying Flapjack … Wikipedia
Flap (aircraft) — Flaps are hinged surfaces on the trailing edge of the wings of a fixed wing aircraft. As flaps are extended, the stalling speed of the aircraft is reduced. Flaps are also used on the leading edge of the wings of some high speed jet aircraft,… … Wikipedia
List of NASA aircraft — Throughout its history NASA has used several different types of aircraft on a permanent, semi permanent, or short term basis. These aircraft are usually surplus, but in a few cases are newly built, military aircraft. Contents 1 NASA 515 2 F5D… … Wikipedia
Ground effect in aircraft — Aircraft may be affected by a number of ground effects, aerodynamic effects due to a flying body s proximity to the ground.One of the most important of these effects is the Wing In Ground effect, which refers to the reduction in drag experienced… … Wikipedia
Wing configuration — For aircraft configurations in general, including fuselage, tail and powerplant configuration, see Aircraft. For rotary winged aircraft types, see Rotorcraft. For direct lift and compound or hybrid types, see Powered lift. Fixed wing aircraft,… … Wikipedia
airplane — /air playn /, n. 1. a heavier than air aircraft kept aloft by the upward thrust exerted by the passing air on its fixed wings and driven by propellers, jet propulsion, etc. 2. any similar heavier than air aircraft, as a glider or helicopter. Also … Universalium
Stall (flight) — For other uses, see stall. In fluid dynamics, a stall is a reduction in the lift coefficient generated by a foil as angle of attack increases. This occurs when the critical angle of attack of the foil is exceeded. The critical angle of attack is… … Wikipedia
Biplane — A biplane is a fixed wing aircraft with two main wings. The first powered heavier than air aircraft, the Wright brothers Wright Flyer, used a biplane design, as did most aircraft in the early years of aviation. While a biplane wing structure has… … Wikipedia
Aviation history — deals with the development of mechanical flight, from the earliest attempts in kite powered and gliding flight, to powered heavier than air flight, and beyond. Humanity s desire to fly possibly first found expression in China, where people flying … Wikipedia
Angle of attack — In this diagram, the black lines represent the flow of a fluid around a two dimensional airfoil shape. The angle α is the angle of attack. Angle of attack (AOA, α, Greek letter alpha) is a term used in fluid dynamics to describe the angle between … Wikipedia
