Wing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The most common use of wings is to fly by deflecting air downwards to produce lift, but upside-down wings are also commonly used as a way to produce downforce and hold objects to the ground (for example racing cars). A wing is a surface used to produce an aerodynamic force normal to the direction of motion by travelling in air or another gaseous medium, facilitating flight. Rogallo wings are two hollow half-cones of fabric, one of the simplest wings to construct. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Wing   (1108 words)

USAF Imagery Confirms Columbia Wing Damaged Another key factor is that the leading edge of the shuttle wing, where the jagged shape was photographed, transitions from black thermal protection tiles to a much different mechanical system made of reinforced carbon-carbon material that is bolted on, rather than glued on as the tiles are. The U-shaped RCC sections are attached to the wing "with a series of floating joints to reduce loading on the panels due to wing deflections," according to Boeing data on the attachment mechanism. The RCC leading-edge structures are bolted to the wing using Inconel fittings that attach to aluminum flanges on the front of the wing. www.aviationnow.com /avnow/news/channel_awst_story.jsp?id=news/shuttle2_news.xml   (1880 words)

SPACE SHUTTLE COORDINATE SYSTEM The wing is attached to the midfuselage and aft fuselage primarily by shear ties, except in the area of the wing carry-through, where the upper panels are attached with tension bolts. The wing is attached to the fuselage with a tension bolt splice along the upper surface. The wing, elevon and main landing gear door contractor is Grumman Corp., Bethpage, N.Y. The midfuselage structure interfaces with the forward fuselage, aft fuselage and wings. science.ksc.nasa.gov /shuttle/technology/sts-newsref/sts_coord.html   (12853 words)

How to Build a Wing for a Flying Model Airplane The wing span will be roughly 50" and the chord is 12" giving the wing 600 square inches of area and approximately a 4:1 aspect ratio. The construction is simpler than many wings in that it is constructed in one piece with no dihedral or joiners of any type. The wing is fully sheeted and will have built up ailerons rather than tapered aileron stock which is heavier and more flexible. www.airfieldmodels.com /information_source/how_to_articles_for_model_builders/construction/wing_construction   (689 words)

Drosophila tissue and organ development: Wing The wing is derived from the wing imaginal disc, formed from the embryonic ectoderm by an invagination at the intersection of a dorsal/ventral stripe of Wingless with an anterior-posterior stripe of Decapentaplegic. The wing disc comprises three cell layers: the squamous epithelium of the peripodial membrane; the columnar epithelium that becomes the adult epidermis, and the adepithelial layer that includes myoblast cells that give rise to adult thoracic muscles and tracheal cells that form air passages. Pupal wings from such animals were examined and wings were found that were wider and shorter than normal and regions were found with a loss of hairs. www.sdbonline.org /fly/aimorph/wing.htm   (5323 words)

Wing Wing really hit her stride on this release, with way-out interpretations of Andrew Lloyd Webber hits like "Don't Cry For Me Argentina" and "Memory." Five other Webber songs are repeated from Wing's debut (I don't know whether they're re-recordings), making me wonder if the original concept was to make a full Webber tribute album. Wing does her best to disrupt the predictability of the band's pop-disco treacle, doing her rubato, quavering routine to full effect on the title track, and performing startling renovations on "Chiquitita." Unfortunately, there are a lot of numbers she can't do anything to save ("Knowing Me Knowing You"; "Mama Mia"). There are a few tracks where Wing really cuts loose, though, and they're incredible: "So Long, Farewell," with an indescribable coda of prolonged high notes, and "My Favorite Things," which she reinvents every bit as radically as John Coltrane had. www.warr.org /wing.html   (1169 words)

X-wing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia It is currently on long-term loan to the Wings Over the Rockies Air and Space Museum in Denver, Colorado. The T-65AC3 improved the avionics, shields and sensors; the T-65AC4 was primarily another engine upgrade, which made it nearly the equal of the A-wing in maneuverability. The only "official" X-Wing, according to Lucasfilm, is a 3/4 scale replica built in 1996 to promote the re-release of the original trilogy. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/X-Wing   (1053 words)

Wing The wing shape is formed from two surfaces, an extruded airfoil and a wingtip cap on the end; these two surfaces are then mirrored across the y=0 plane to form the right half of the wing. The wing is constructed by first extruding the airfoil in the spanwise direction to a half-span length. An example of the wing section difference between the original airfoil and the airfoil modified with a flap cusp for a 60-point NACA 64A410 airfoil is shown in Figure hpcc.engin.umich.edu /CFD/users/charlton/Thesis/html/node20.html   (623 words)

Wing The smaller wings are more flexible because they will operate a greater percentage of multirole aircraft, thus increasing the average number of precision strike-capable aircraft from 36 to about 50. The Type Wing commanders are responsible for material readiness which includes aircraft configuration management and material condition, operating target accounting, training, and special programs for activities under their command. The structure of the basic carrier air wing evolved throughout the 1990s as A-6s were phased out of the force in favor of a mix of F/A-18 C/Ds and modified versions of F-14 fighters. www.fas.org /man/dod-101/navy/unit/wing.htm   (1150 words)

Slater Museum :: Wing Image Collection The wings are scanned or photographed at more than one scale because of size differences and because the images were captured at many different times and by different people. Some of the wings are in molt (indicated by "MOLTING"), and a survey of all of these wings should provide a primer on bird molting patterns. Many of the gull wings were photographed just to show their tips, so no tags are visible. www.ups.edu /x5662.xml   (376 words)

BBC NEWS Science/Nature Spy craft take gull flight lesson Its craft, said Dr Lind, would have wing spans of 20 to 30ft (6m to 9m), however, which are not suitable for urban environments. By watching how seagulls alter their wing shape, and using morphing techniques, the agile craft can squeeze through confined spaces, such as alleyways, and change direction rapidly. The F-14 is the most well-known example of a shape-changing craft which can shift its wing shape for different manoeuvres mid-air, said Dr Lind. news.bbc.co.uk /2/hi/science/nature/4185648.stm   (976 words)
