High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! A wing is a surface used to produce lift for flight through the air or another gaseous or fluid medium. The wing shape is usually an airfoil. The word originally referred only to the foremost limbs of birds, but has been extended to include the wings of insects, bats, pterosaurs, and aircraft. A wing's aerodynamic quality is expressed as a Lift-to-drag ratio. The lift generated by a wing at a given speed and angle of attack can be 1-2 orders of magnitude greater than the drag. This means that a significantly smaller thrust force can be applied to propel the wing through the air in order to obtain a specified lift. Данное издание не является оригинальным....

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! In aerodynamics, wing loading is the loaded weight of the aircraft divided by the area of the wing. The faster an aircraft flies, the more lift is produced by each unit area of wing, so a smaller wing can carry the same weight in level flight, operating at a higher wing loading. Correspondingly, the landing and take-off speeds will be higher. The high wing loading also decreases maneuverability. The same constraints apply to winged biological organisms.

A considerable portion of the mass of aircraft and spacecraft is made up of wiring. Reducing the number of wires can reduce payload mass, decrease fuel consumption, and simplify construction and maintenance; this goal can be achieved by exploiting wiring for multiple purposes. Sending electronic data through aircraft power wiring is a new research area which this text aims to advance. In the highly critical field of avionics, the development of aircraft electronics such as flight control and navigation equipment forms a multi-billion dollar industry, taking a key role in the aerospace sector. In contrast, power line communication (PLC) is conventionally thought of as a technology for domestic applications, such as home networking over...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The term wireless telegraphy is a historic term used today to apply to early radio telegraph communications techniques and practices, particularly those used before 1920 when the term radio came into use. Wireless telegraphy originated as a term to describe electrical signaling without the electric wires to connect the end points. The intent was to distinguish it from the conventional electric telegraph signaling of the day that required wire connection between the end points. The term was initially applied to a variety of competing technologies to communicate messages encoded as symbols, without wires, around the turn of the twentieth century, but radio emerged as the most significant....

These networks are having many interesting applications in different fields of life discussed in this book. These networks are made up of a basic building block called node which is battery operated, in general and power awareness becomes very important. Each node senses the environment for example temperature, pressure etc., and sends the sensed information through its antenna to other nodes present in the network. The data from a distant node can be sent either directly to another node or by using a multi-hop routing algorithm. Thus Power Aware Network Design is one of the major research issues...

A wireless mesh network (WMN) is a communications network made up of radio nodes organized in a mesh topology. Wireless mesh networks often consist of mesh clients, mesh routers and gateways. The mesh clients are often laptops, cell phones and other wireless devices while the mesh routers forward traffic to and from the gateways which may but need not connect to the Internet. The coverage area of the radio nodes working as a single network is sometimes called a mesh cloud. Access to this mesh cloud is dependent on the radio nodes working in harmony with each other to create a radio network. A mesh network is reliable and offers redundancy. When one node can no longer operate, the rest of the nodes can still communicate with each other,...

This differs from other methods like simple induction, microwaves, or air ionization. The system consists of transmitters and receivers that contain magnetic loop antennas critically tuned to the same frequency. Due to operating in the electromagnetic near field, the receiving devices must be no more than about a quarter wavelength from the transmitter (which is a few meters at the frequency used by the example system). In their first paper, the group also simulated GHz dielectric resonators. Данное издание не является оригинальным....
