The rear wing was said to greatly reduce aerodynamic lift at speed, and unique bonnet vents were placed in a low pressure area to help engine cooling.
32.
Both designs had the same maximum weight of 590, 000 lb ( 267, 600 kg ), and the aerodynamic lift-to-drag ratio was increased to 8 : 1.
33.
Instead, there was a single long finger-like bone extending from a wrist that stretched a thin membrane that provided the aerodynamic lift to give the animal flight.
34.
The most comfortable and convenient method would be to fly the plane upside-down so that its normal aerodynamic lift supplements gravity and presses the plane towards the earth.
35.
EOS XI is a hybrid airship having a large, gas-filled delta wing which provides both aerostatic and aerodynamic lift, referred to by the manufacturer as a " metaplane ".
36.
A pitch " angle to the airflow, which may be fixed or variable, such that spinning the propeller creates aerodynamic lift, or " thrust ", in a forward direction.
37.
For a takeoff from the surface of the earth using thrust and no aerodynamic lift, the thrust-to-weight ratio for the whole vehicle must be more than " one ".
38.
Midway between the nose and the windshield, the louvers create a low-pressure zone to help draw air through the radiator, as well as reducing aerodynamic lift in the front end.
39.
Another related technique is that of aerogravity assist, in which the spacecraft flies through the upper atmosphere and utilises aerodynamic lift instead of drag at the point of closest approach.
40.
McCorkle said investigators have concluded that the crash was caused by a loss of aerodynamic lift that forced the aircraft into a fatal nose dive as it was about to land.
