He demonstrated and implemented the theory of a pilot manually flying the Saturn booster into orbit and the translunar injection maneuver.

Because of the pioneering and the expertise they demonstrated in successfully flying military aircraft, the WASP records showed that women pilots, when given the same training as men pilots, were as capable as men in non-combat flying.

He demonstrated that the woeful performance of existing turbines was due to a flaw in their design which meant the blades were " flying stalled ", and proposed a modern airfoil shape for the blades that would dramatically improve their performance.

Once a student has completed a number of solo flights and demonstrated safe tows and landings solo then they are awarded their Club Pilot Certificate ( aerotow ) and can progress to flying in a club rather than a school environment.

One final example is a one-off prototype and technology demonstration item that was developed by Seiko Epson and demonstrated at the International Robot Exhibition in Tokyo is the Seiko Epson Micro flying robot.

There is no distinction made in Scotland between assault and battery ( which is not a term used in Scots law ), although, as in England and Wales, assault can be occasioned without a physical attack on another's person, as demonstrated in Atkinson v. HM Advocate wherein the accused was found guilty of assaulting a shop assistant by simply jumping over a counter wearing a ski mask.

A recent report demonstrated that 50 mg of β-carotene every other day prevented cognitive decline in a study of over 4000 physicians at a mean treatment duration of 18 years.

General equilibrium theory has demonstrated, with varying degrees of mathematical rigor over time, that under certain conditions of competition, the law of supply and demand predominates in this ideal free and competitive market, influencing prices toward an equilibrium that balances the demands for the products against the supplies.

As the Moresby Treaty demonstrated, whilst Oman sought sovereignty over its waters, Seyyid Said saw no reason to intervene in the slave trade, as the main customers for the slaves were Europeans.

Repeated stimuli over a period of about 10 seconds eventually lead to sufficient delivery of calcium, and an increase in muscle contraction to normal levels, which can be demonstrated on electromyography by increasing amplitude of repeated compound muscle action potentials.

They demonstrated that a theory of 9 very large matrices, evolving in time, could reproduce the supergravity description at low energy, but take over for it as it breaks down at high energy.

In a statement published on a pro-rebel Web site, the FARC-EP said the unilateral release demonstrated the group's willingness to engage the Colombian government in talks over the release of as many as 800 people who are still being held.

The notability of Sraffa's critique is also demonstrated by Paul A. Samuelson's comments and engagements with it over many years, for example:

" Torpedoes " ( mines ) could also be detonated electrically by an operator on shore ( as demonstrated also by Fulton ), so friendly vessels or low-value enemy vessels could be ignored while waiting for the capital ships to sail over them.

By World War II torpedo boats were seriously hampered by higher fleet speeds ; although they still had a speed advantage, they could only catch the larger ships by running at very high speeds over very short distances, as demonstrated in the Channel Dash.
