As we explored on the last two pages, flaps and slats enable a pilot to move an aircraft through three-dimensional space. In other words, the pilot alters the plane's orientation around its own center of gravity, producing torque. Imagine this center of gravity as a fixed point in the mi...
A manual transmission car doesn't have a gear called "park" like an automatic does. That means you must but the parking brake on when you park the car. To park a manual, turn the engine off and keep holding the brake pedal in. If you're on a hill, put the clutch in and move ...

The general idea is that an airfoil moves over a layer of air in much the same way a stone can move over the surface of a pond and skip rather than sink. While this idea does get one thing correct: namely that lift can be described as a reaction force to the deflection of air, ...
The purpose of a gasoline car engine is to convert gasoline into motion so that your car can move. Currently the easiest way to create motion from gasoline is to burn the gasoline inside an engine. Therefore, a car engine is an internal combustion engine— combustion takes place internally. ...
Suppose you're on the roof of a building and you want to lift your 1000 newton weight. You lower a rope down, attach it to the weight, and pull up. To move the weight 1m off the ground, you have to pull the rope 1m at the top with a force of 1000 newtons. ...
Once the need to move a load using a mobile crane has been established, the employing organisation needs to determine if they have the necessary competent staff in-house to plan a safe system of work for the lift. If so, it can opt for the crane hire contract conditions from the UK’s...
We will therefore try to shed light on the DJI Mini 2 max altitude, its consequences on the engine and power supply, and the precautions to be taken to fly safely in these rather extreme conditions for a drone. Also, this article will give you a broad view of altitude flying, what the...
You may also see the duty cycle written as a value between 0 and 1024. This is based on the fact that the technology was developed around 8-bit controllers. 2 options (on / off) with an 8 bit system → 2¹⁰ → 1024. This system can also be used to determine the ESC’s outp...
an initial force to make it make its initial move. This beginning force is called 'breakout'. If this required force were not there it would be impossible to fly smoothly while holding a control. With 'breakout' force required a plane's controls will only move when intentionally forced past...
