 Why professional bicyclists have recently been descending hills at greater speeds.

Pedaling is a compound sport, which involves competitors, who must compete with a diversity of approaches, numerous environmental factors, and roughness on the ground. The operation on high grounds is an essential ascertaining victory factor in the leading international cycling tournaments. The main forces that a bicyclist must prevail over are; the gravity and air resistance. Air resistance rises exponentially with momentum. When pedaling from a smooth road to an ascending hill, the reduced speed lessens the air resistance to a level where leading other riders offers little benefit. Smaller bicyclists, who prefer to have a higher authority to ...

This project aims at integrating modern engineering concepts and principles in the design of AERO-2016-WPAP-1111. The underlying concepts for this design involve the advancement of the traditional design processes to modern architecture to enhance the performance of the aircraft. The three most important operational precepts of this design include lightweight structures, incorporation of advanced engineering practices, and escalated aerodynamic performance of the plane. Therefore, the realization of the capability of this plane is inherent to its varying take-off weights. Principally, this essay explains various approaches that are applied in the design and operation of the AERO-2016-WPAP-111 aircraft, and how ...

Aircraft control surfaces are components of an aircraft used to control an aircraft. Normally, the control surfaces are movable parts in the plane wings and the tail. The surfaces help the pilot adjust attitude or plane orientation by creating differential pressure on different parts of the aircraft. The difference is pressure produces a force which then acts on the plane to produce the desired effect. Control surfaces employ the principle of lift just like the wings but in different directions. The lift forces produced by a control surface can act independently or in combination with a force from another ...
