*1983 Launch of BOR-5, Russian space vehicle, 1 : 8 Buran model designed to test the main aerodynamic characteristics, thermal and acoustic loads and stability for the Shuttle Buran program.

The objective of these standards is to ensure acceptable aerodynamic characteristics of the deicing / anti-icing fluids as they flow off aircraft lifting and control surfaces during the takeoff ground acceleration and climb.
23.
Also, the aerodynamic characteristics of the Concorde's triangle-shaped delta wing make it unstable at slow speeds _ especially in a situation like the Paris crash, when one or more engines apparently failed on takeoff.
24.
"' Bumper canards "'( also "'dive planes "') are small wings attached to the front spoiler of a car for the purposes of modifying the aerodynamic characteristics of the car in a modest way.
25.
The L-39 Albatros within DCS possesses many of the characteristics that make its real life counterpart so desirable as a jet trainer including favorable aerodynamic characteristics, low wing loading and a decent thrust to weight ratio.
26.
A wind turbine blade is really more like an airplane wing, with a similar cross-section and the same aerodynamic characteristics ( although the lift it produces is used to turn a rotor, not raise an aircraft ).
27.
"' Standard wind tunnel models "', also known as reference models, calibration models ( ) or test check-standards are objects of relatively simple and precisely defined shapes, having known aerodynamic characteristics, that are tested in wind tunnels.
28.
Engineers found that subtle changes in the curvatures and planes of the craft could drastically affect lift and other aerodynamic characteristics, often requiring the addition of fins and control surfaces, like flaps and ailerons, to maintain stability.
29.
Reports of CAT are subjective in nature and, therefore, uncalibrated since they depend upon the pilot's perception of the degree of turbulence, which in turn depends upon the weight, speed, and aerodynamic characteristics of the aircraft being flown.
30.
Because golf balls have a dimpled surface to improve their aerodynamic properties, increasing both distance and control, and are used primarily on grassy surfaces, they tend to collect dirt and grass easily, which can adversely affect their aerodynamic characteristics.
