In aeronautics, downwash is the change in direction of air deflected by the aerodynamic action of an airfoil, wing, or helicopter rotor blade in motion...

Downwash Ditch is a 1.4-kilometre (0.87 mi) long river (brook) and drainage ditch of the Pevensey Levels in the civil parish of Hailsham, Wealden District...

movement of the centre of pressure of the wing, and a decrease in wing downwash velocity at the tailplane, both of which cause a nose down pitching moment...

Induced drag is related to the angle of the induced downwash in the vicinity of the wing. The grey vertical line labeled "L" is the force required to counteract...

Prix, a major upgrade was introduce changing to sidepods to incorporate a downwash ramp design similar to Red Bull. As the year progressed Ferrari gain a...

planform. Wingtip vortices are associated with induced drag, the imparting of downwash, and are a fundamental consequence of three-dimensional lift generation...

directly behind another, it will reverse the flapping pattern to counter the downwash force. Through an experiment with ibises, researchers found that flying...

Model Enhancements) which is an algorithm for modeling the effects of downwash created by the pollution plume flowing over nearby buildings. AERMOD was...

located in the flow field of the main wing, and consequently experiences downwash, reducing its angle of attack. In a statically stable aircraft of conventional...

or water obstructing the creation of wingtip vortices and interrupting downwash behind the wing. A wing generates lift by deflecting the oncoming airmass...

birds flying in V patterns, so as to avoid the detrimental effects of the downwash due to the leading bird's flight. The most obvious adaptation to flight...

Fugitive dust clouds (brownouts) stirred up by downwash from military helicopters....

speeds are typically 16 to 19 kn (30 to 35 km/h; 18 to 22 mph). Rotor downwash limits helicopter hover-taxiing near parked light aircraft. The use of...

would be tilted to 85 degrees to minimize interference with the rotor downwash. The BV-347 made its first flight in Phase I configuration on May 27, 1970...

One danger that its crews had to maintain awareness of was the strong downwash generated by the rotors; nearby tents were particularly at risk of being...

new topological state of the surrounding flow field, induced by its own downwash, and suddenly loses lift. Since vortex rings are a surprisingly stable...

timeframe. In particular, there were concerns that the high levels of downwash produced by the XC-142A would render shipborne operations impractical....

This allows a smaller main wing. However, the foreplane also creates a downwash, which may affect the wing lift distribution favourably or unfavourably...
