	Plane sailing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Plane sailing is an approximate method of navigation over small ranges of latitude and longitude.
		Plane sailing is based on the assumption that the meridian through the point of departure, the parallel through the destination, and the course line form a right triangle in a plane, called the "plane sailing triangle".
		The expression "plane sailing" has, by analogy, taken on a more general meaning of any activity that is relatively straightforward.

	Planing (sailing) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The characteristics of a planing hull are that it is narrow at the prow, with a broader beam towards the rear.
		The shape of the underneath of the rear of a larger, planing, powerboat is often V shaped.
		It is also not a sustainable state, as sailing (or kite flying) involves the extraction of energy from the shear force between the wind and the water.

		Plane Sailing’s Catalina was built by Canadian Vickers at Cartierville, Quebec, for the Royal Canadian Air Force and remained in the RCAF until the late 1950s.
		“Plane Sailing was looking for a distinctive color scheme in which to display their Catalina at air shows,” said David Legg, the archivist for the group and editor of the magazine The Catalina News, published for the group’s supporters.

	Zetetic Astronomy, Earth Not A Globe: Chapter XIV. Examination of the So-Called ''Proofs'' of the Earth's Rotundity: ...
		Nearly all the above systems necessitated the sailing by, or in relation to, Rhumb-lines, or lines at right angles to the meridian lines; and whether the earth is a plane or a globe, these are not geometrically at right angles to lines of latitude, except at the equator.
		It is not absolutely the shortest route; as the earth is a plane, the degrees of longitude in the south must diverge or expand, and spread out as the latitude increases; and the parallels or lines of latitude must be circles concentric with the northern centre.
		Thus we have seen that great circle sailing is not the shortest route possible, but merely shorter than several other routes, which have been theoretically suggested and adopted; and to affirm that the results are confirmatory or demonstrative of the earth's rotundity, is in the highest degree illogical.

	[ICA-map-projections] Plane chart & etc.
		Since the "carta plana" were not based on any well-formed projection at all, and since we must distinguish between them and the modern projection usually known as "plate carrée", it seems we are obliged to recommend some other name for the modern "plate carrée".
		Names I've found in the literature thus far: plane chart plate carrée geographic projection unprojected simple cylindrical cylindrical equidistant cylindrical equal-spaced projection "Plane chart" and "plate carrée" are synonymous and apparently misapplied.

	Plane sailing - 03 April 1999 - New Scientist
		So a company in the US has decided that it's time for stricken planes to be lowered to the ground safely, using a large parachute attached to the fuselage.
		Cirrus Design of Duluth, Minnesota makes the SR20 light aircraft—the first plane to have a built-in parachute system to be licensed for sale by the Federal Aviation Administration.
		It will allow the plane to land the right way up—but as it comes to earth at 17 miles per hour, it uses the landing gear as an elaborate shock absorber.

	Plane crash - Sailing Anarchy Forums
		The plane was an experimental ultralight aircraft with a small, gasoline-powered engine and wings wrapped in fabric similar to heavy-duty sail cloth, officials said.
		Yup...my Dad owns an ultra-light, and I am pretty sure his wings are mylar film...much heavier than anything used for sails with yarn in them, but maybe similar to some of the windsurfing sails we are seeing out there.
		I've thought about buying a plane at some point, and was always worried about crashing the thing.

	Creative Sailing Corp Exumas
		There will be no big cruise boats or charter companies in the Exumas and the only way to access these wonderful islands are by small plane, sailing- or motor yachts.
		It will be an offshore sailing yacht "Wauquiez 47" of 47 feet length with 2 double cabins and separate heads and shower.
		Going to the Exumas from Florida and back by a sailing yacht requires at least 2 weeks, because of the long distance and that night sailing is not allowed.

	It's not exactly plane sailing \| Special reports \| Guardian Unlimited
		The first priority is to renew and expand the current 114-strong long-haul fleet: BA will start replacing 20 of its 57 747s, and its entire 14-strong 767 fleet, from late 2008 and start building up from 2009 onwards, although these plans could be delayed if the market goes into steep decline.
		Where he has noticed a contrast is in BA's profile and its propensity to become the centre of media storms.
		Two recent examples took him by surprise - the 'cross' affair, where a BA employee wanted to wear a crucifix over her uniform, and the Litvinenko poisoning, where he had to reassure the public after traces of the deadly isotope polonium 210 were found on BA planes.

		And then, as the Star says, the plane’s unnamed pilot stood on a chair before the fed-up and frightened passengers and asked the holidaymakers if they wanted to give it another go.
		The one condition was that those who stayed – and 14 did – would have to make their own way home.

		The answer lies not in the wind, as with the comparable sport of sailing, but in the thermal lift, the rising air caused by the sun's heating action on the ground.
		Sailplanes circle in this rising air and although they must fly 'downwards' at a shallow angle, the net effect of flying in rising air is a height gain.
