A condition where the tail of the airplane follows a path outside the path of the nose during a turn.
Industry:Aviation
An intentional maneuver to decrease airspeed or increase rate of descent, and to compensate for a crosswind on landing. A slip can also be unintentional when the pilot fails to maintain the aircraft in coordinated flight.
Industry:Aviation
Number of pounds of fuel consumed in 1 hour to produce 1 HP.
Industry:Aviation
A control system that extends from the airplane structure into the airstream to produce drag and slow the airplane.
Industry:Aviation
A condition in the region of reverse command where a disturbance that causes the airspeed to decrease causes total drag to increase, which in turn, causes the airspeed to decrease further.
Industry:Aviation
The ability to sense instantly and react to any reasonable variation of airspeed.
