  2. Propeller walk - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propeller_walk

    Propeller walk (also known as propeller effect, wheeling effect, paddle wheel effect, asymmetric thrust, asymmetric blade effect, transverse thrust, prop walk) is the term for a propeller's tendency to rotate about a vertical axis (also known as yaw motion). The rotation is in addition to the forward or backward acceleration.

    Bank angle μ: represents a rotation of the lift force around the velocity vector, which may indicate whether the airplane is turning. When performing the rotations described above to obtain the body frame from the Earth frame, there is this analogy between angles: σ, ψ (heading vs yaw) γ, θ (Flight path vs pitch) μ, φ (Bank vs Roll)

  4. Jaw-thrust maneuver - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaw-thrust_maneuver

    The jaw-thrust maneuver is a first aid and medical procedure used to prevent the tongue from obstructing the upper airways.This maneuver and the head-tilt/chin-lift maneuver are two of the main tools of basic airway management, and they are often used in conjunction with other basic airway techniques including bag-valve-mask ventilation.

  5. Aerodynamic force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerodynamic_force

    The aerodynamic force is the resultant vector from adding the lift vector, perpendicular to the flow direction, and the drag vector, parallel to the flow direction. Forces on an aerofoil . In fluid mechanics , an aerodynamic force is a force exerted on a body by the air (or other gas ) in which the body is immersed, and is due to the relative ...

  6. Airway management - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airway_management

    The jaw-thrust maneuver is an effective airway technique, particularly in the patient in whom cervical spine injury is a concern. It is easiest when the patient is positioned supine. The practitioner places their index and middle fingers behind the angle of the mandible to physically push the posterior aspects of the mandible upwards while ...

    Meteor F8 WK935 at Royal Air Force Museum Cosford. Following some 55 hours of flight testing over 99 flights, the results were inconclusive; although the prone position concept was feasible, the development of special aviation clothing offered a simpler solution to the problem of counteracting inertial forces, and the prone position Meteor was no longer needed.

  8. ABC (medicine) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ABC_(medicine)

    At a basic level, opening of the airway is achieved through manual movement of the head using various techniques, with the most widely taught and used being the "head tilt — chin lift", although other methods such as the "modified jaw thrust" can be used, especially where spinal injury is suspected, [12] although in some countries, its use is ...

  9. Advanced airway management - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_airway_management

    Advanced airway management is the subset of airway management that involves advanced training, skill, and invasiveness.It encompasses various techniques performed to create an open or patent airway – a clear path between a patient's lungs and the outside world.
