  2. Bell X-5 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell_X-5

    A composite photograph showing the Bell X-5’s variable-sweep wing. The Bell X-5 was the first aircraft capable of changing the sweep of its wings in flight. It was inspired by the untested wartime P.1101 design of the German Messerschmitt company. In a further development of the German design, which could only have its wing sweepback angle ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotary_mower

    An American rotary lawnmower mechanic (b. 1927) when queried as to the first rotary mower he knew of - produced a picture of a machine mass produced around 1939 which originally used a Ford Model A or B electric starter motor turned vertically with a steel disc attached to the output shaft having common sickle bar trapezoidal blades riveted upon it.

  4. Variable-sweep wing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable-sweep_wing

    A variable-sweep wing, colloquially known as a "swing wing", is an airplane wing, or set of wings, that may be modified during flight, swept back and then returned to its previous straight position. Because it allows the aircraft's shape to be changed, it is a feature of a variable-geometry aircraft.

  6. Rake angle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rake_angle

    In machining, the rake angle is a parameter used in various cutting processes, describing the angle of the cutting face relative to the workpiece. There are three types of rake angles: positive, zero or neutral, and negative. Positive rake: A tool has a positive rake when the face of the cutting tool slopes away from the cutting edge at inner side.

  7. Rockwell B-1 Lancer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rockwell_B-1_Lancer

    The wings can sweep from 15 degrees to 67.5 degrees (full forward to full sweep). Forward-swept wing settings are used for takeoff, landings and high-altitude economical cruise. Aft-swept wing settings are used in high subsonic and supersonic flight. [74] The B-1's variable-sweep wings and thrust-to-weight ratio provide it with improved takeoff ...

  8. BERP rotor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BERP_rotor

    The maximum sweep employed on the large part of the BERP blade is 30 degrees and the tip starts at a non-dimensional radius r/R=cos 30 = 86% radius. The area distribution of this tip region is configured to ensure that the mean tip centre of pressure is located on the elastic axis of the blade.

  9. Washout (aeronautics) - Wikipedia

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

    The Hornet has approximately 4 degrees of washout. Washout is a characteristic of aircraft wing design which deliberately changes the lift distribution across the span of an aircraft’s wing. 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.
