  2. Swashplate (aeronautics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swashplate_(aeronautics)

    In aeronautics, a swashplate is a mechanical device that translates input via the helicopter flight controls into motion of the main rotor blades. Because the main rotor blades are spinning, the swashplate is used to transmit three of the pilot's commands from the non-rotating fuselage to the rotating rotor hub and mainblades.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swashplate

    The axial piston pump drives a series of pistons aligned parallel with a shaft through a swashplate to pump a fluid. [4] A common example of a swashplate application in a fluid pump is the compressor of a present-day automobile air conditioning system. By varying the angle of the swashplate, the pistons' stroke (and, therefore, the compressor's ...

  4. Radar chart - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radar_chart

    The radar chart is a chart and/or plot that consists of a sequence of equi-angular spokes, called radii, with each spoke representing one of the variables. The data length of a spoke is proportional to the magnitude of the variable for the data point relative to the maximum magnitude of the variable across all data points.

  5. Radar angels - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radar_angels

    Radar angels are an effect seen on radar displays when there is a periodic structure in the view of the radar that is roughly the same length as the signal's wavelength.The angel appears to be a physically huge object on the display, often miles across, that can obscure real targets.

  6. Side looking airborne radar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Side_looking_airborne_radar

    The radar "looks" with the looking angle θ (or so called off-nadir angle). The angle α between x-axis and the line of sight (LOS) is called cone angle, the angle φ between the x-axis and the projection of the line of sight to the (x; y)-plane is called azimuth angle. Cone- and azimuth angle are related by cosα = cosφ ∙ cosε.

  7. Axial engine - Wikipedia

    The Cylindrical Energy Module (CEM) is a sine-wave swashplate engine that can also be used as a standalone pump, powered by an external source. The rotating swashplate rotor assembly is moved back and forth with the help of piston drive pins, which follow a stationary sinusoidal cam track that encircles the rotor assembly. [citation needed]

    Here, the angles and indicate a dependence on direction from the antenna, and stands for the power the transmitter would deliver into a matched load. The gain G {\displaystyle G} may be broken down into three factors; the antenna gain (the directional redistribution of the power), the radiation efficiency (accounting for ohmic losses in the ...
