Fixed wing aircraft use propellers for thrust only. A helicopter uses it's rotors for lift, thrust, and directional control. The tail rotor uses blade pitch to control yaw.
it is a simulated bird that is a machineIt's an aircraft that flies like a bird - by flapping its wings, as opposed to using rotors - as helicopters do - or fixed wings and engines providing thrust as aeroplanes do.
The function of a mechanical switch is to open or close a circuit by hand as opposed to an electronic switch which works electronically.
A magneto generates the electricity that fires the cylinders in the engine. It also distributes that spark. Without it, most airplanes that use opposed internal combustion engines wouldn't fly.
Sequential style, or function-oriented. Which is opposed to object-oriented, as in C++.
A motorcycle engine can be converted to power an airplane if the aircraft is registered and placarded as an experimental aircraft. They can't be installed in a certified plane without FAA inspection and approval. Engines such as a 2-cylinder, horizontally opposed BMW motor need a PSRU, or propeller speed reduction unit, to reduce the engine's RPM to match the propeller's RPM.
You can use the clipboard in Excel. It is a facility as opposed to a traditional function, like the SUM function or AVERAGE or MAX and other functions that are built in to Excel.
A company whose primary function is to perform labor tasks for customers; as opposed to a PRODUCT-ORIENTED BUSINESS.
Any fixed-wing aircraft with an engine is an airplane. There are different kinds: piston-engine airplanes have piston engines driving propellers, (airplane engines are horizontally-opposed, like the engine in an old Volkswagen), turboprop airplanes have turbine engines with gearboxes that drive propellers, and jet airplanes have turbine engines that move the plane directly. So, factually, a jet is a type of engine on an airplane. However, over time, aircraft with jet engines have often been referred to as "jets."
Airplanes fly under their own power which means they can have a sustained flight until they deplete their power source - as opposed to gliders that maintain flight by an initial exterior power source and airships that fly by being buoyant in the air, or floating like a ship on water. also planes fly by producing lift on wings or a lift producing body (a lifting body) - as opposed to a missile that flies entirely by its power source being greater than gravity, friction and other forces acting against the flight or by being "pushed" by external forces like a glider to overcome the same forces. Helicopters are airplanes as the rotor is a spinning wing so they fly under their own power and produce lift - if you have ever seen one of the small aerobatic aircraft that can "hover" in vertical position it is still acting as an airplane since the prop is now acting as a spinning wing - but one of the new fighter jets doing the same thing would then become a powered missile rather than an airplane since it is no longer producing any lift. The term aircraft can refer to any of these types that operate in an air environment: airplane, glider, airship or missile.
Most helicopters have a tail boom and tail rotor. This tail rotor is present to counteract the torque produced by a helicopters main rotor. If there was no tail rotor, the helicopter would tend to rotate in a direction opposite to that which the main rotor blade spins which would make flying difficult or even impossible. The Chinook doesn't have a tail rotor, instead it has twin main rotors. If they both span in the same direction then this would act to cause the helicopter to twist. However as they rotate in opposite directions the two twisting forces cancel each other out. This has other advantages as it means that the full power of the engines goes towards generating lift and thrust as opposed to driving the vertical stabilising rotor on other helicopters.
You return it so they can recycle the head. They will inspect it and recondition the head for resale as a rebuilt head if possible.
A static function, not part of a class, is visible only to other code within the same compilation unit, i.e. the same source file. A static function, part of a class, can only operate on static class data, which is per class data as opposed to per instance data.
