• Compressibility — This article is about thermodynamics and fluid mechanics. For other uses, see Compression (disambiguation). Incompressibility redirects here. For the property of vector fields, see Solenoidal vector field. Thermodynamics …   Wikipedia

• compressibility — A general term covering the effects resulting from the fact that the density of air, and gases in general, varies with pressure and hence with wind speed. The effects become apparent in the changes in the values of lift and drag coefficients of a …   Aviation dictionary

• compressibility drag — A parasite drag caused by the extraordinary compression of air ahead of an aircraft at high speeds. An aircraft not designed for sonic flights is especially prone to encounter this phenomenon as it approaches the speed of flight. The effects are… …   Aviation dictionary

• compressibility effect — noun : any of the effects (as abrupt changes in control characteristics) that result from changes in the flow field about an airplane when the velocity at some point in the field reaches the local speed of sound and the air ceases to behave as an …   Useful english dictionary

• Gas — This article is about the physical properties of gas as a state of matter. For the uses of gases, and other meanings, see Gas (disambiguation). Ga …   Wikipedia

• Aerodynamics — is a branch of dynamics concerned with studying the motion of air, particularly when it interacts with a moving object. Aerodynamics is closely related to fluid dynamics and gas dynamics, with much theory shared between them. Aerodynamics is… …   Wikipedia

• Compressible flow — is the area of fluid mechanics that deals with fluids in which the fluid density varies significantly in response to a change in pressure. Compressibility effects are typically considered significant if the Mach number (the ratio of the flow… …   Wikipedia

• High-speed flight — In high speed flight the assumptions of incompressibility of the air used in low speed aerodynamics no longer apply. In subsonic aerodynamics, the theory of lift is based upon the forces generated on a body and a moving gas (air) in which it is… …   Wikipedia

• Lift (force) — For other uses, see Lift. Boeing 747 8F landing A fluid flowing past the surface of a body exerts a surface force on it. Lift is the component of this force that is perpendicular to the …   Wikipedia

• Swept wing — A swept wing is a wing planform common on high speed aircraft, with the wing swept back instead of being set at right angles to the fuselage. This is a useful drag reducing measure for aircraft flying just below the speed of sound. Forward sweep… …   Wikipedia
