aerodynamic flight

A tracer's outer casing is shaped like a spider, with legs for aerodynamic flight.

The same is true of Soviet astronauts, whose capsules have no aerodynamic flight surfaces and simply plunge to earth in an uncontrolled fall.

There's too much damage for aerodynamic flight."

Within minutes the aerodynamic flight symbol fluttered on and held steady, the atmosphere finally biting hard enough to make the lander an airplane.

Tifflor had slowed down his re-entry speed and the Gazelle moved in aerodynamic flight along the shore of the small ocean.

Low-g condition is a phase of aerodynamic flight where the airframe is temporarily unloaded.

A helicopter pilot manipulates the helicopter flight controls in order to achieve controlled aerodynamic flight.

The notable novelty is that the system does not use aerodynamic flight control (e.g. tail fins), but impulse steering with mini-thrusters.

If the freighter had handled like a live bantha in convulsion during reentry, in normal aerodynamic flight it handled like a dead one.

BFM combines the fundamentals of aerodynamic flight and the geometry of pursuit with the physics of managing the aircraft's energy-to-weight ratio, called its specific energy.

Recalled to active service with the RAF in 1939, Wilson was the Commanding Officer of the Aerodynamic Flight of the RAE at RAF Farnborough.

Other American experts said, however, tht the separate programs could make sense because the shuttle was very different from other spacecraft, requiring experience in aerodynamic flight that would be concentrated at a facility like the Zhukovsky Institute.

The brains behind the guidance system are the shuttle's on-board computers, which gather data from sensors and radios, mix that with data from inertial guidance units and control the shuttle's aerodynamic flight surfaces to guide the craft toward the earth.

In May 2013, The Dream Chaser Engineering Test Article (ETA) was shipped to the Dryden Flight Research Center in California for a series of of ground tests and aerodynamic flight tests.

If it was possible at all to find a place for landing, it would have to have a dense atmosphere for aerodynamic flight or a surface gravity of less than one G. In any case, the best they could expect was a crash-landing without any guarantee that they would be spared from injury.

Flight testing is a branch of aeronautical engineering that develops and gathers data during flight of an aircraft, or atmospheric testing of launch vehicles and reusable spacecraft, and then analyzes the data to evaluate the aerodynamic flight characteristics of the vehicle in order to validate the design, including safety aspects.
