The E6B flight computer, either mechanical or electronic, is used for various flight calculations, including groundspeed, time, airspeed, distance, fuel burn, wind correction angles, and unit ...

For high-performance single-engine aircraft, departing at Vx or Vy may not be optimal due to reduced safety margin in case of engine failure. Climbing near Vcc (cruise climb speed) provides better ...

This series of short explainer films with Professor Brian Cox comprises six clips focused on forces, speed and motion. Each ...

<br> -- Q U E S T I O N: How does an aircraft measure its speed? Does it measure wind flow over the wings? If so, how do instruments compensate for cross winds? And how does an attitude indicator ...

Power management often becomes even more important in high-speed, high-power systems. To begin with, the worst-case power consumption basically sets board layout requirements for dissipating heat. But ...
