to minimize the air drag. But at high speeds‚ cars developed lift forces‚ which affected their stability. In order to improve their stability and handling‚ engineers mounted inverted wings profiles1 generating negative lift. First such cars were Opel’s rocket powered RAK1 and RAK2 in 1928. However‚ in Formula‚ wings were not used for another 30 years. Racing in this era 1930’s to 1960’s occured on tracks where the maximum speed could be attained over significant distance‚ so development aimed on

PERFORMANCE THROUGH SHAPE OPTIMISATION OF THE WING KENNEDY KAIRU MBUGUA 0803460 SUPERVISOR: RAY KIRBY ME3309 Overview of the Project The Skyranger along with other ultra-light home build plane are designed and constructed to be extremely cost effective due to the low price at which they are marketed. In this report the aerodynamic performance of the Skyranger’s wing is analysed and particular modifications such as the implementation of wing twist and the introduction of wingtip devices

(Landsberg). A stall occurs when airflow separates from all or part of the upper surface of a wing‚ resulting in sudden loss of lift. This is caused by exceeding the critical angle of attack (angle of attack is the angle between the relative wind and the chord line of the airfoil). Below the critical angle‚ airflow over the wing surface is relatively smooth. Above the critical angle‚ the thin layer of air above the wing‚ or "boundary layer‚" becomes turbulent and separates from the airfoil (Dole and Lewis

An ultralight trike‚ also known as a flex-wing trike‚ weight-shift control aircraft‚ microlight trike‚ deltatrike[1] or motorized deltaplane‚[2] is a type of powered hang glider using a high performance Rogallo wing coupled to a propeller-powered three-wheeled undercarriage. While many powered aircraft have three-wheeled landing gear‚ the term "trike" refers specifically to the form of aircraft described here. The principles of this page can generally be applied to the single place ultralight trike

A busy street’s crosswalk. Many people cross each other’s paths‚ some pass by oblivious to the other‚ but all similarly following their predetermined path. In Chicken Wings‚ two men‚ a father and son are eating dinner and have a spirited discussion. In Holey Moley‚ a woman and man are talking‚ she is preoccupied with her fear and he is trying to support her and calm those fears. These situations are very common yet are very individual. I chose these pieces as they represent everyday situations.

Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s short story “A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings” and Ovid’s “Daedalus en Icarus” use magical realism to teach true-to-life narrative in a magical‚ often symbolic‚ fantasy described in a matter-of-fact tone. These true-to-life narratives cover things like: an “Icarus Complex‚” fraudulence‚ “Disobedience and consequences‚” and unnoticed miracles. Magical-realist fiction consists of mostly true-to-life narrative punctuated by moments of whimsical‚ often symbolic‚ fantasy

A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings The short story A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings‚ represents a very interesting society and highlights key elements of the human nature. It is surprising how humans act the way they do. One wonders if it is selfishness or if indeed it is a fact that the greatest goal of any individual on this planet is to make himself happy‚ and to satisfy his or her own personal needs that he is a times rendered insensitive to the needs of other people‚ and does anything so

Finding Faith in “A very Old Man with Enormous Wings” It may be safe to say that everyone at one time or another has seen something out of the ordinary. Some would even call these rare occurrences “miracles.” What qualifies as a miracle differs from person to person based on their own beliefs. Some believe in fate‚ and predetermined destiny‚ and some would write off extraordinary and seemingly supernatural events as merely coincidence. Many find solace in religion‚ and believe that many happenings
