| The pilot gets into a small bit of leftover wake turbulence, the rental aircraft wobbles just before touchdown and a wingtip catches the runway. |
|
| Wingbeat frequency was determined by counting wingbeats from the mid point of the downstroke when the wingtip passed below the beak. |
|
| I brought the aircraft to a stop, but not until after the wingtip and the prop contacted the ground. |
|
| I watched, in mute fascination, as the black wingtip shoe sliced through the air. |
|
| But between the way he dressed and carried himself and those wingtip shoes, I thought he was the biggest man in the world. |
|
| In fast spirals it might be necessary to apply a bit of brake on the outside as well to prevent the outer wingtip from collapsing. |
|
| Open the dump valve on the wingtip of the leading edge and empty all the struts. |
|
| A series of impact marks and aircraft parts extended horizontally across the hillside between the wingtip pieces and the main wreckage. |
|
| Had the aircraft entered the water inverted at an acute angle, the vane wingtip might now be displaying dihedral. |
|
| For example, USAF CAP flights are spread 2.5 miles from wingtip to wingtip. |
|
| The biplanes came in waves of nine-across formations, wingtip to wingtip, each carrying six 22-pound fragmentation bombs and dropping them simultaneously. |
|
| The crew chief for the parked aircraft was also observing the wingtip clearance and continued to signal to the marshaller that all was clear, giving a thumbs-up. |
|
| Your kite lines are also color coordinated to match the kite pigtail attachments, ensuring that you connect the lines to the correct wingtip. |
|
| The wingtip, which may have freezer burn, can be removed and discarded when you carve the cooked turkey. |
|
| A cravat occurs after a severe deflation when the wingtip becomes trapped in the glider lines. |
|
| During the second turn, the floatplane descended into the lake, striking the water first with the right float and the right wingtip. |
|
| The aircraft was a braced biplane featuring wingtip ailerons, a canard, or forward elevator, a rear rudder, and horizontal surfaces. |
|
| A scraped wingtip can appear to be minor but is deserving of a close inspection before the next flight. |
|
| That can happen from something that at first appears somewhat innocuoussuch as a scraped wingtip during a previous flight. |
|
| Pieces of the left wingtip and navigation light were found embedded in the ground 130 feet west of the main wreckage and at approximately the same elevation. |
|
|
|
| The wingtip fences also reduce wake turbulence, which endangers following aircraft and could, theoretically, damage house roofs. |
|
| They can be recovered with nets, parachutes, vertically strung cords that snag a wingtip hook or a simple drop on the ground after a stall a metre or two in the air. |
|
| Its pioneering effort, an aircraft called Demon, is a remote-controlled, delta-winged drone, 2.7 metres from wingtip to wingtip, that is powered by a small jet engine. |
|
| A real Southern gentleman, from owlish glasses to black wingtip shoes, who would hold the door for any woman and thank you, with a nod and a smile, for smoking North Carolinian tobacco in his office. |
|
| What goes for an airport or a bay can be scaled up to an ocean, or the air above it, and down to the flow off an aircraft's wingtip, or a ship's hull. |
|
| The upturned wingtips of modern airliners, there to provide additional lift, resemble the curled wingtip feathers of eagles as they soar towards the sky. |
|
| The first attempted missile interceptions took place during the Second World War, when V-1 cruise missiles were countered with anti-aircraft guns, and by British Spitfires nudging them offcourse with the touch of a wingtip. |
|
| The blue and white Cessna 337 was flying with only its anticollision lights on, which included three strobe lights, one on the right vertical tail fin and one on each wingtip. |
|
| When using Runway 20, BSC pilots estimate the wind by observing a signalling flag held by a person positioned in the area of the left wingtip, or by observing a piece of plastic tape attached to a nearby radio antenna. |
|
| Passive receivers were connected to specially designed antennae in the wingtip pod and experiments were conducted to measure characteristics of intra-pulse radar signals in a marine environment. |
|
| One wingtip is discolored like a freezer burn discoloration. |
|
| The angle of attack vane then streamlines under the water-exerted force, moving the vane arm to a positive angle-of-attack position and bending the vane wingtip down into anhedral. |
|
| Begin rolling the kite from the wingtip opposite to the dump valve. |
|
| Place a weight, e.g. sand, gear bag etc. on one wingtip of the canopy. |
|
| Investigators found a freshly ground-off surface on the bottom side of the aircraft wingtip that was typical of damage resulting from a wingtip contacting the ground during a ground loop or severe swerve to the left. |
|
| One of the AEA's inventions, a practical wingtip form of the aileron, was to become a standard component on all aircraft. |
|
| Three or four of these huge cartilaginous fish, ten feet from wingtip to wingtip, hovered in swift currents to feed, slightly flapping their wings to remain in place. |
|
| Wingtip pontoons were attached directly below the lower wings near their tips. |
