  2. Wing wall - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wing_wall

    Return wing walls: used where banks are high and hard or firm. Their top width is 1.5 m and face is vertical and back battered 1 in 4. [ 2 ] Scour can be a problem for wing walls and abutments both, as the water in the stream erodes the supporting soil.

  3. Sandstone Railway Culvert, North Ipswich - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandstone_Railway_Culvert...

    The portals of the culvert are fashioned from dressed sandstone, cut to form an arch; the brick roof of the culvert is not visible externally. At the eastern end of the culvert, the arched sandstone portal intersects with a wing wall made from rusticated sandstone blocks. Both portals are obscured by vegetation at the foot of the gully.

  4. Dihedral (aeronautics) - Wikipedia

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

    Dihedral angle is the upward angle from horizontal of the wings or tailplane of a fixed-wing aircraft. "Anhedral angle" is the name given to negative dihedral angle, that is, when there is a downward angle from horizontal of the wings or tailplane of a fixed-wing aircraft. Dihedral angle has a strong influence on dihedral effect, which is named ...

  5. Washout (aeronautics) - Wikipedia

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

    The wing is designed so that the angle of incidence is greater at the wing roots and decreases across the span, becoming lowest at the wing tip. This is usually to ensure that at stall speed the wing root stalls before the wing tips , providing the aircraft with continued aileron control and some resistance to spinning .

  6. Aircraft flight dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aircraft_flight_dynamics

    A fixed-wing aircraft increases or decreases the lift generated by the wings when it pitches nose up or down by increasing or decreasing the angle of attack (AOA). The roll angle is also known as bank angle on a fixed-wing aircraft, which usually "banks" to change the horizontal direction of flight.

  7. Wing fence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wing_fence

    As a swept-wing aircraft slows toward the stall speed of the wing, the angle of the leading edge forces some of the airflow sidewise, toward the wing tip. This process is progressive: airflow near the middle of the wing is affected not only by the leading edge angle, but also the spanwise airflow from the wing root.

  9. Gurney flap - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gurney_flap

    The Gurney flap (or wickerbill) is a small tab projecting from the trailing edge of a wing. Typically it is set at a right angle to the pressure-side surface of the airfoil [2] and projects 1% to 2% of the wing chord. [3] This trailing edge device can improve the performance of a simple airfoil to nearly the same level as a complex high ...
