  2. Spoileron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spoileron

    Spoilerons roll an aircraft by reducing the lift of the downward-going wing.Unlike ailerons, spoilers do not increase the lift and drag of the upward-going wing. A raised spoileron increases the drag on the down-going wing where it is deployed, causing the aircraft to yaw in the direction of the turn.

  3. Spoiler (car) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spoiler_(car)

    The term "spoiler" is often mistakenly used interchangeably with "wing". An automotive wing is a device designed to generate downforce as air passes around it, not simply disrupt existing airflow patterns. [1] [2] Rather than decreasing drag, automotive wings actually increase drag.

  4. Spoiler (aeronautics) - Wikipedia

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

    In aeronautics, a spoiler (sometimes called a lift spoiler or lift dumper) is a device which increases the drag and decreases the lift of an airfoil in a controlled way. Most often, spoilers are hinged plates on the top surface of a wing that can be extended upward into the airflow to spoil the streamline flow.

  5. Adverse yaw - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adverse_yaw

    Adverse yaw is the natural and undesirable tendency for an aircraft to yaw in the opposite direction of a roll.It is caused by the difference in lift and drag of each wing. The effect can be greatly minimized with ailerons deliberately designed to create drag when deflected upward and/or mechanisms which automatically apply some amount of coordinated rudde

    The FAA publicly identified an “unsafe condition” that could result in a “loss of control” of certain Boeing 737 Max jets because of “nonconforming” installation of spoiler control wires.

    Python. The use of the triple-quotes to comment-out lines of source, does not actually form a comment. [19] The enclosed text becomes a string literal, which Python usually ignores (except when it is the first statement in the body of a module, class or function; see docstring). Elixir

  8. Surrogate model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surrogate_model

    For example, in order to find the optimal airfoil shape for an aircraft wing, an engineer simulates the airflow around the wing for different shape variables (e.g., length, curvature, material, etc.). For many real-world problems, however, a single simulation can take many minutes, hours, or even days to complete.

  9. Pythons 2 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pythons_2

    The python briefly loosens its coils around Larson, who manages to scream out one more plea for Dwight to save him. Before Dwight can move, the python devours Larson whole. The snake is killed when a brick of C4 is hurled into its mouth by Dwight, while the other snake chases Dwight and Nalia outside where it is destroyed by a bombing run ...
