Wing — A wing is a surface used to produce lift for flight through the air or another gaseous medium. The wing shape is usually an airfoil. The word originally referred only to the foremost limbs of birds, but has been extended to include the wings of… … Wikipedia
Circulation control wing — A circulation control wing (CCW) is a form of high lift device for use on the main wing of an aircraft to increase the lift coefficient. CCW technology has been in the research and development phase for over sixty years, and the early models were … Wikipedia
Swept wing — A swept wing is a wing planform common on high speed aircraft, with the wing swept back instead of being set at right angles to the fuselage. This is a useful drag reducing measure for aircraft flying just below the speed of sound. Forward sweep… … Wikipedia
Variable-sweep wing — A Variable sweep wing is an aeroplane wing that may be swept back and then returned to its original position during flight. It allows the aircraft s planform to be modified in flight, and is therefore an example of variable geometry.Typically, a… … Wikipedia
Supercritical airfoil — it has since been mainly applied to increase the fuel efficiency of many high subsonic aircraft. Research in 1940 by DVL s K. A. Kawalki led to subsonic profiles very similar to the supercritical profiles, which was the basis for the objection in … Wikipedia
Flying wing — For the Canadian football position, see Flying wing (football). Flying wing Graphic rendering A flying wing is a tailless fixed wing aircraft which has no definite fuselage, with most of the crew, payload and equipment being housed inside the… … Wikipedia
Canard Rotor/Wing — The Canard Rotor Wing (CRW) is a class of VTOL aircraft capable of both fixed wing and rotary wing flight. For vertical take off, hovering, low speed flight, and vertical landing, the main airfoil is spun like a helicopter s rotor by directing… … Wikipedia
Blended wing body — Blended Wing Body, or BWB, designates an alternative airframe design which incorporates design features from both a traditional tube and wing design into a hybrid flying wing configuration. The claimed advantages (see Potential advantages below)… … Wikipedia
helicopter — /hel i kop teuhr, hee li /, n. 1. any of a class of heavier than air craft that are lifted and sustained in the air horizontally by rotating wings or blades turning on vertical axes through power supplied by an engine. v.i. 2. to fly in a… … Universalium
Tailless aircraft — A tailless aircraft (often tail less) traditionally has all its horizontal control surfaces on its main wing surface. It has no horizontal stabilizer either tailplane or canard foreplane (nor does it have a second wing in tandem arrangement). A… … Wikipedia
