  3. Pound (force) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pound_(force)

    The pound-force is the product of one avoirdupois pound (exactly 0.45359237 kg) and the standard acceleration due to gravity, approximately 32.174049 ft/s 2 (9.80665 m/s 2). [ 5 ] [ 6 ] [ 7 ] The standard values of acceleration of the standard gravitational field ( g n ) and the international avoirdupois pound (lb) result in a pound-force equal ...

  4. Slug (unit) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slug_(unit)

    One slug is a mass equal to 32.17405 lb (14.59390 kg) based on standard gravity, the international foot, and the avoirdupois pound. [3] In other words, at the Earth's surface (in standard gravity), an object with a mass of 1 slug weighs approximately 32.17405 lbf or 143.1173 N. [ 4 ] [ 5 ]

  6. Wing loading - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wing_loading

    With a wing loading of 100 lb/sq ft (490 kg/m 2) the load factor is twice smaller and barely reaches 1g at 40,000 ft (12,000 m). [ 15 ] Aircraft with low wing loadings tend to have superior sustained turn performance because they can generate more lift for a given quantity of engine thrust.

  7. Fanning friction factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fanning_friction_factor

    It is defined as the ratio between the local shear stress and the local flow kinetic energy density: [1] [2] = where f is the local Fanning friction factor (dimensionless); τ is the local shear stress (units of pascals (Pa) = kg/m 2, or pounds per square foot (psf) = lbm/ft 2);

  8. Argentavis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argentavis

    As a rule of thumb, a wing loading of 25 kg/m 2 is considered the limit for avian flight. [18] A number of estimates related to wing loading have been produced for Argentavis, most notably the wing area, estimated at 8.11 m 2 (87.3 sq ft), and the wing loading, estimated at 84.6 N/m 2 (1.77 lb/ft 2), or about 8.64 kg/m 2.

  9. Ballistic coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ballistic_coefficient

    Very-low-drag bullets with C b ≥ 1.10 lb/in 2 (over 773 kg/m 2) can be designed and produced on CNC precision lathes out of mono-metal rods, but they often have to be fired from custom made full bore rifles with special barrels. [68] Ammunition makers often offer several bullet weights and types for a given cartridge.
