Examples in Context

  2. When one row on one side blows air at a higher pressure than the other it causes the airflow over the trailing edge on that side to bend up or down, in exactly the way that an aileron would, and the plane rolls accordingly.
  3. A hinged moveable part on the trailing edge of each wing for airplane roll ( wing up and wing down ) control.
  4. The trailing-edge loss of radial inflow turbine stator was discussed based on the loss models of NASA, showing that the loss increases linearly with the trailing edge thickness. Thus, an efficient method of reducing trailing-edge loss is to cut down the trailing edge thickness.
