Wing shapes take flight Birds can dynamically alter the shape of their wings during flight. Variable feather overlap enables birds to morph their wings. How flight feathers stick together to form a continuous morphing wing https://lnkd.in/g4j_G2JA

Take a tip for greener trips when you upgrade to Split Scimitar Winglets. The combined aerodynamic elements of the retrofit to the existing Blended Winglet — ventral strakes, scimitar tips, and trailing edge wedges — provide a drag reduction, and corresponding range increase, of 2 percent or more for long-range missions.

Redefine Cruising by Setting Sails : Chapter 4. The ship with hydrodynamic levelling The ship, as designed according to the invention, can be adapted to suit a variety of functions, including those as a cargo, passenger, military or work ship. In the operation of these ships, hydrodynamic levelling is achieved through the utilisation of outboard wings, situated on either side of the vessel and positioned in opposition to one another. The wings can be extended or swivelled out and are equipped with a variable, three-part wing profile that is aligned with the underwater hull in a plane parallel to the longitudinal and transverse axes of the ship. This configuration serves to counteract the heeling tendency of the ship when sailing. The leading edge segment and the trailing edge segment of the three-part wing profile can be synchronously adjusted via a hydraulically or electrically operated gearbox integrated into a central wing segment. It is proposed that torque compensation be implemented at the centre of gravity of the ship for the purpose of facilitating sailing operations. A primary torque, resulting from the transverse force generated by the sailing device, is counterbalanced by a secondary torque. This second torque is the result of a hydrodynamic force generated by the outboard wings, which create lift and downforce. The aforementioned wings are arranged in pairs, situated in opposition to one another in the region of the underwater hull. Furthermore, the shifting of the water ballast from one side of the ship to the other, either from the forecastle to the stern or vice versa, allows for the levelling of the plane spanned by the longitudinal and transverse axes. This allows the telescopic axes of the telescopic masts to be aligned parallel to the vertical axis, with the centre of buoyancy, the centre of gravity and the metacentre of the ship on the vertical axis perpendicular to each other. #ResSS4 #resoceanwind #ResSS1 to #ResSS8 #reslevelcontrol #resail #resship #rescruiseship #restelescopicmast #excellence from #theländ Res-institue.com

🦅 Falcon: The Ultimate Master of Aerodynamics! ✈️ Did you know that the peregrine falcon is the fastest bird in the world, diving at speeds of over 240 mph (386 km/h)? 🌪️ How do they achieve such breathtaking speeds? The secret lies in their mastery of aerodynamics and nature’s physics. ✅ Streamlined Body: Falcons have evolved with a sleek, teardrop-shaped body, minimizing air resistance—just like an airplane’s fuselage. This allows them to cut through the air with minimal drag. ✅ Wing Shape: Their long, pointed wings create optimal lift while reducing drag, similar to modern aircraft wings, which are designed for both lift and efficiency. 🛫 ✅ Controlled Dive (Gravity’s Aid): When hunting, a falcon tucks its wings tightly to its body, reducing drag further. This streamlined dive is akin to how an aircraft utilizes gravity and controlled descent to increase speed. ✅ Feather Flexibility: Falcons adjust their feathers to control airflow, stabilizing their dive. Likewise, airplane wing flaps are carefully manipulated to maintain balance, speed, and altitude during flight. 🔧 When engineers design modern airplanes, they look to nature for inspiration—and falcons have perfected the laws of aerodynamics long before we took to the skies. 🌍 The next time you see a plane or a falcon soaring overhead, remember that nature and technology are deeply intertwined—pushing the boundaries of speed and innovation. 🌟 #Aerospace #Aviation #Aerodynamics #NatureInspires #Innovation #Engineering #Physics

🚤 Navigating the Future: Meet our Mighty Volume Boat! 🌊🛥️ Did you know? Our small but powerful boat plays a crucial role in measuring product volume in the 13 Cooling Ponds at Bethune! 📏🌐 📍 Auto-Navigation Magic: This boat rocks an Auto-Navigation system, allowing for precise pre-programmed missions. It follows the same path every time, ensuring reliable results. 🗺️ GPS + Sonar Combo: Equipped with GPS and sonar, our boat gauges positions above the water and their corresponding depths. This helps us figure out the product volume in each pond. 🕹️ Remote-Piloted Brilliance: The boat is remotely piloted, minimizing safety risks, especially in freezing temperatures (hello -17°C in January!). Less pilot time means reduced fatigue and enhanced safety. 🌬️ Speedy Travels: Cruising at 1.5m/s or 5.4 km/hr, our boat covers an impressive 1500km annually – equivalent to a trip from Bethune to Tofino, BC by air! ✈️🚤 👏 Hats off to our amazing boat, making waves in efficiency and safety! Stay tuned for more updates as we navigate the future! 🌊🌐 #Innovation #Tech #BoatDrone #InsideKPlusS #KPlusS #SolutionMining #PotashMining
