area rule

The area rule was immediately applied to a number of development efforts.

A minimum area rule is just what the name implies.

Later designs started with the area rule in mind, and came to look much more pleasing.

The calculation, known as the area rule, was reflected in the design of many future aircraft.

The swept wing is already an indirect application of the area rule.

The F-102 was the first aircraft in the world to utilize area rule in its design.

This is known as the area rule.

Fuselage shaping was similarly changed with the introduction of the Whitcomb area rule.

This is known as the area rule, and is the operating principle behind the design of anti-shock bodies.

The equal area rule can be expressed as:

One interesting outcome of the area rule is the shaping of the Boeing 747's upper deck.

The area rule has been applied to almost every U.S. supersonic aircraft designed since then.

In the 1950s, Whitcomb proposed his area rule as regards the drag produced by aircraft on themselves when flying near the speed of sound.

Rarely, an airport will have Mandatory Frequency Area rules, but no ground station.

Among these were the introduction of swept wings, the area rule, and engines of ever-increasing performance.

The '30' in the model name also refers to the Skerry Cruiser sail area rules.

The wind tunnel was used for critical tests that validated the area rule for the design of supersonic aircraft.

By Whitcomb's area rule, the derivative of the cross-sectional area gives the wave drag.

Comparing this yield to the observed damage produced a rule of thumb called the 5 psi lethal area rule.

Application of the area rule can also be seen in the use of anti-shock bodies on transonic aircraft, including some jet airliners.

Convair and GE aerodynamicists designed these modifications using a local area rule to delay the high-speed drag rise.

If the area rule was Whitcomb's major accomplishment of the 1950s, his supercritical wing revolutionized the design of jet liners in the 1960s.

Drag turned out to be higher than expected, but NACA was able to suggest the application of the recently-developed area rule to combat this problem.

Many amateur telescope makers use cells which are designed via equal area rule calculation, using programs such as David Chandler's public domain program, Cell.

Relatively early in his career, in 1952, the aeronautics engineer discovered and experimentally verified a revolutionary aircraft design principle that became known as the area rule.
