Consequently, rotation creates an equalling of such turbulence, which, overall, maintains the intended direction of flight i. e. accuracy.

These variations included barrel wear, propellant temperature, different projectiles weights that all affected the muzzle velocity, and air temperature, density, wind speed & direction and rotation of the earth that affect the shell in flight.

25 minutes — sub-orbital spaceflight in an elliptic flightpath ; the flightpath is part of an ellipse with a vertical major axis ; the apogee ( halfway through the midcourse phase ) is at an altitude of approximately 1, 200 km ; the semi-major axis is between 3, 186 km and 6, 372 km ; the projection of the flightpath on the Earth's surface is close to a great circle, slightly displaced due to earth rotation during the time of flight ; the missile may release several independent warheads, and penetration aids such as metallic-coated balloons, aluminum chaff, and full-scale warhead decoys.

Nutation ( from Latin: nūtāre, to nod ) is a rocking, swaying, or nodding motion in the axis of rotation of a largely axially symmetric object, such as a gyroscope, planet, or bullet in flight, or as an intended behavior of a mechanism.

By the usual procedure of crew rotation in the Gemini program, White would have been in line for a second flight as the Command Pilot of Gemini 10 in July 1966, which would have made him the first of his group to fly twice.

They are flapped rapidly and function as gyroscopes, informing the insect about rotation of the body during flight.

For vertical flight, the rotors are angled so the plane of rotation is horizontal, lifting the way a helicopter rotor does.

Even a ball thrown without rotation will " flutter " somewhat, due to the ' apparent wind ' it feels as its trajectory changes throughout its flight path.

The three critical flight dynamics parameters are the angles of rotation in three dimensions about the vehicle's center of mass, known as pitch, roll and yaw ( See Tait-Bryan rotations for an explanation ).

The term rotation is used because the aircraft pivots around the axis of its main landing gear while still on the ground, usually because of manipulation of the flight controls to make this change in aircraft attitude.

Monopolizing on most of the conventions of farce's canon, it concerns a Parisian playboy bachelor with three international stewardess fiancées he secretly keeps in careful rotation until their flight schedules change and he, along with his provincial friend and sassy maid, must keep them from finding out about each other.

The three critical flight dynamics parameters are the angles of rotation in three dimensions about the vehicle's center of mass, known as pitch, roll and yaw ( quite different from their use as Tait-Bryan angles ).

In a very simple case where we ignore various complicating factors, the Magnus force from the crosswind would cause an upward or downward force to act on the spinning bullet ( depending on the left or right wind and rotation ), causing an observable deflection in the bullet's flight path up or down, thus changing the point of impact.

The controls ( stick and rudder ) for rotary wing aircraft ( helicopter or autogyro ) accomplish the same motions about the three axes of rotation, but manipulate the rotating flight controls ( main rotor disk and tail rotor disk ) in a completely different manner.

The result is the exact opposite pitch of the four-seam fastball's backspin, but with all four seams rotating in the direction of the flight path with forward-spin, with the axis of rotation perpendicular to the intended flight path much like a reel-type mower or a bowling ball.

The axis of rotation of a 12 – 6 curve is parallel with the level ground and perpendicular to its flight path.

The axis of rotation on a slurve will still be more or less perpendicular to the flight path of the ball, however it will not be parallel to the ground.

A standalone show, Chopper Rescue, a documentary about flight paramedics in Los Angeles, California, was added to the rotation under the " Critical Hour " umbrella title in 2005.

The main purpose of STS-105 was the rotation of the International Space Station crew and the delivery of supplies utilizing the Italian-built Multi Purpose Logistics Module ( MPLM ) Leonardo on its second flight ( STS-102, STS-105 ).

* Yaw, rotation around the vertical axis in aircraft, an aspect of flight dynamics and some other related elements:

But when Shepard was removed from the flight rotation due to an inner ear problem, Stafford was reassigned to back up pilot for that mission.

The ANT-18 featured rotation through all three axes, effectively simulated all flight instruments, and modeled common conditions such as pre-stall buffet, overspeed of the retractable undercarriage, and spinning.

The mission saw a crew rotation, two spacewalks, and another flight of the MPLM.

It is derived from the washing of the bell with holy water by the bishop, before he anoints it with the oil of the infirm without and with chrism within ; a fuming censer is placed under it and the bishop prays that these sacramentals of the Church may, at the sound of the bell, put the demons to flight, protect from storms, and call the faithful to prayer.

Aside from a ritualistic chant in " The Sontaran Strategem "/" The Poison Sky ", they are never seen to engage in any activity that would be considered recreation, though a few offhand comments by Commander Skorr in " The Poison Sky " suggest they do consider hunting a sport ( according to their creator Robert Holmes, Sontarans do have a highly developed artistic culture, but have put it on hold for the duration of the war, while the opening chapter of the novelisation of The Time Warrior, based on Holmes ' incomplete draft, refers to Linx listening to the Sontaran anthem while his spaceship is in flight ).
