Aeroplane (magazine)

Aeroplane (formerly Aeroplane Monthly) is a British magazine devoted to aviation, with a focus on aviation history and preservation.

Air racing

Air racing is a type of motorsport that involves airplanes or other types of aircraft that compete over a fixed course, with the winner either returning the shortest time, the one to complete it with the most points, or to come closest to a previously estimated time.

See Napier-Heston Racer and Air racing

Airfoil

An airfoil (American English) or aerofoil (British English) is a streamlined body that is capable of generating significantly more lift than drag.

See Napier-Heston Racer and Airfoil

Arthur Ernest Hagg

Arthur Ernest Hagg (1888 – 21 January 1985) was a British aircraft and boat designer.

Bonding in solids

Solids can be classified according to the nature of the bonding between their atomic or molecular components.

See Napier-Heston Racer and Bonding in solids

Cantilever

A cantilever is a rigid structural element that extends horizontally and is unsupported at one end.

Drafter

A drafter (also draughtsman / draughtswoman in British and Commonwealth English, draftsman / draftswoman, drafting technician, or CAD technician in American and Canadian English) is an engineering technician who makes detailed technical drawings or CAD designs for machinery, buildings, electronics, infrastructure, sections, etc.

See Napier-Heston Racer and Drafter

Elevator (aeronautics)

Elevators are flight control surfaces, usually at the rear of an aircraft, which control the aircraft's pitch, and therefore the angle of attack and the lift of the wing.

Fédération Aéronautique Internationale

The (FAI; World Air Sports Federation) is the world governing body for air sports, and also stewards definitions regarding human spaceflight.

Flight airspeed record

An air speed record is the highest airspeed attained by an aircraft of a particular class.

Lacquer

Lacquer is a type of hard and usually shiny coating or finish applied to materials such as wood or metal.

See Napier-Heston Racer and Lacquer

Lamination

μCT scanning) through the length of a knitting needle that consists of laminated wooden layers: the layers can be differentiated by the change of direction of the wood's vessels Shattered windshield lamination keeps shards in place Laminate flooring A flexible thin-film solar cell for aerospace use (2007) Lamination is the technique/process of manufacturing a material in multiple layers, so that the composite material achieves improved strength, stability, sound insulation, appearance, or other properties from the use of the differing materials, such as plastic.

See Napier-Heston Racer and Lamination

Maiden flight

The maiden flight, also known as first flight, of an aircraft is the first occasion on which it leaves the ground under its own power.

See Napier-Heston Racer and Maiden flight

Messerschmitt Me 209

The first Messerschmitt Me 209 was a single-engine racing aircraft which was designed for and succeeded at breaking speed records.

Monoplane

A monoplane is a fixed-wing aircraft configuration with a single mainplane, in contrast to a biplane or other types of multiplanes, which have multiple planes.

See Napier-Heston Racer and Monoplane

Napier Sabre

The Napier Sabre is a British H-24-cylinder, liquid-cooled, sleeve valve, piston aero engine, designed by Major Frank Halford and built by D. Napier & Son during World War II.

Spar (aeronautics)

In a fixed-wing aircraft, the spar is often the main structural member of the wing, running spanwise at right angles (or thereabouts depending on wing sweep) to the fuselage.
