That's because warmer air particles are more spread out, generating
less lift under a plane's wings as it goes down the runway.
This results
in less lift for an airplane, requiring a longer runway to achieve takeoff and a reduction in climb performance.
Less lift means an aircraft can carry less weight, but it also means an airplane — especially a weighty one — needs a longer runway in hot weather, a restriction that can lead to flight delays or cancellations like those caused by record - breaking heat in Phoenix last month.
As the air thins, wings generate
less lift as the plane accelerates along the runway.
These
offer less lift and support, and will make creating cleavage more difficult.
Along with a new rear diffuser and spoiler, the new bodywork gives the M2 35
percent less lift and five percent less aerodynamic drag than a standard 2 Series coupe.
MINI claims the aero qualities of the car are improved, too, but makes no specific claims about downforce, so take it as read that there is a little
bit less lift than before, but not much more than that.
The mouse is similarly optimized, with its size and touch calibration set to
require less lifting of fingers for smooth tracking across the display, and separate right and left buttons with firm feedback.
This generates
less lift under a plane's wings as it barrels down a runway.
«We've never seen a time when the customer has asked for
less lift — that's kind of why we took this strategy,» Bruno said, adding that flying the entire booster back could become increasingly difficult.
The application of NISMO racing technology to the car's body results in enhanced aerodynamic performance and
less lift, without sacrificing the LEAF's excellent drag coefficient.
These are not your average fender lip extensions, they are an accessory that allows you to use 2 - 3»
less lift to run the larger tire diameter you desire.
You're looking at better cooling,
less lift, and less drag as a consequence of all the changes.
