The feature that distinguishes benefit-cost analysis from cost-effectiveness analysis is the attempt benefit-cost analysis makes to go as far as possible in quantifying benefits and costs in money terms. ...

On voit le plus souvent l’expression «coût-efficacité» avec un trait d’union, mais cette graphie est discutable. En effet, le trait d’union sert à créer une apposition (mot composé) dans un rapport de coordination (avion-citerne) ou de subordination (auto-école), alors qu’en fait il s’agit ici d’une mise en relation : coût par rapport à l'efficacité. On peut réduire l’ambiguïté que crée le trait d’union en le remplaçant par une barre oblique, qui marque une relation ou une opposition entre deux éléments. 1, record 1, French, - analyse%20co%C3%BBt%2Fefficacit%C3%A9

El análisis de la eficacia en función de los costos se utiliza en dos formas: 1) el método de "efectos constantes", que emplea el análisis del costo mínimo a fin de determinar la opción del costo mínimo para alcanzar un nivel determinado de beneficios, incluidos los beneficios intangibles, y 2) el método del "costo constante" que calcula el costo por unidad de beneficio, o la "relación eficacia en función de los costos", y exige que haya medios para poder cuantificar los beneficios (pero no necesariamente para asignar un precio monetario o un valor económico a los beneficios). 1, record 1, Spanish, - an%C3%A1lisis%20de%20la%20eficacia%20en%20funci%C3%B3n%20de%20los%20costos

The fenestron, [like] a conventional tail rotor, [features] spinning blades that generate a thrust force to cancel out the tendency of a helicopter fuselage to rotate. However, the fenestron rotor differs from a conventional rotor by adding several more blades. ... Compared to conventional tail rotor blades, the fenestron blades are also much smaller and spin at higher speeds. Furthermore, these blades are mounted within a shroud that forms part of the vertical tail fin of the helicopter. This configuration turns the rotor into a ducted fan whose blade tips are protected from the external air. 3, record 6, English, - fantail

Un fenestron est une cavité carénée hébergeant le rotor anticouple de queue d'un hélicoptère. Les rotors de queue conventionnels ont de 2 à 4 pales. Les rotors de queue dans des fenestrons ont de 8 à 18 pales de taille plus réduite. Elles ont des angles d'incidence différents qui font que le bruit est réparti sur différentes fréquences et de ce fait est moins intense. Le fenestron permet une vitesse de rotation supérieure. 2, record 6, French, - fenestron

Comme sur tous les hélicoptères qui en sont équipés, le fenestron est avant tout un équipement qui participe à l'amélioration de la sécurité de l’appareil et de ses opérateurs. En carénant le rotor anticouple, on le protège des risques de collision au sol tout en évitant les accidents qui peuvent concerner les personnels au sol. [...] Même en cas de destruction ou de panne du rotor anticouple lui-même pendant le vol, les propriétés aérodynamiques du carénage du fenestron apporteraient une sécurité additionnelle. 3, record 6, French, - fenestron
