As a pilot and aviation nut, my understanding is that due to the relative speed differences between the tip and root of the blade, to produce an even amount of thrust/compression across the face of the disc, requires a lower angle of attack on the tip vs the root.same reason a propeller is...

As i said, I am no aerospace engineer, just a pilot and aviation enthusiast, but, If i recall correctly, one of the big advances with the P-51 mustang was the reduced drag due to a laminar flow airfoil, which to me implies that unless a wing is specifically designed for laminar flow, the air...

You ate correct about high speed stalling, in effect the g load increases the weight of the plane, thus reducing the critical aoa. I'm no aero engineer nor physicist, this id just my understanding based on my flight training, including aerobatic flying. Full scale aerobatic planes can be snap...

As a pilot,we are taught that lift is provided by both the pressure difference and the angle of attack of the wing, (angle between the chord line of the wing and the direction of motion) lift and drag both increase as aoa increases, up to the critical aoa, which is when the airflow separates...

Yep, NiMH and NiCD will both peak, then drop voltage very slightly, the charger should cut off when that drop occurs.

And if this is a lithium polymer pack, be very careful, as improper charging can cause a serious fire.. just google lipo fire.. we use lipos in the rc aircraft hobby, i use them to power the ecu on my rc jets, and in electric planes they are the primary source of power.. all lipo chargers are c...

Hey guys, Long term lurker here in PF, first time posting though, so here goes :) I am working to help with a bid from an RFP for a Virtualized CAD Workstation environment on VMware Horizon (view). I am on the architectural side of things, not sales. One of the requirements is the ability...
