La planche abdominale est un exercice efficace et facile à faire chez soi. Pour ce faire, il suffit de placer une grande serviette au sol et de se coucher à plat ventre. Placez-vous de façon semblable à une pompe, c'est-à-dire, les jambes droites, les pieds légèrement écartés, et appuyez-vous sur vos avant-bras plutôt que sur vos mains. Gardez cette position le plus longtemps possible, au moins 15 à 20 secondes, et répétez trois fois. Cet exercice raffermit les muscles qui supportent la colonne et les organes internes, soit les abdominaux, les obliques, les transversaux et les lombaires. 4, record 1, French, - planche%20abdominale

Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 CONT
A tiltwing aircraft is similar in concept to a tiltrotor design. Whereas a tilt rotor rotates the propeller from axial to dorsal, a tiltwing rotates the entire wing, not just the nacelles or prop and shaft. They are typically fully capable of VTOL operations. An advantage of tilt wing over tilt rotor is that when the rotors tilt up, the wings rotate so that they do not block the downward air. 3, record 3, English, - tilt%2Dwing%20aircraft

Bien que les Américains aient commencé à mettre en service l'appareil à rotors basculants V-22, l'avion à ailes basculantes CL-899 de Canadair avait déjà offert des capacités semblables en 1965. Ces modèles révolutionnaires, qui allient la vitesse, le rayon d'action et la capacité de transport propres aux avions à voilure fixe, ont aussi la capacité de passer en mode vertical et de faire du vol stationnaire, en changeant l'orientation des rotors ou des hélices. Mais ces genres d'appareils ont une mécanique complexe, et les programmes de vols d'essai des CL-89 et V-22 ont dans les deux cas été assombris par plusieurs écrasements. L'avion à voilure basculante CL-89 avait un avantage marqué sur les aéronefs à rotors basculants comme le modèle V-22 du fait qu'il pouvait décoller et atterrir comme un avion ordinaire, alors que les rotors surdimensionnés d'un appareil V-22 lui permettent uniquement de décoller et d'atterrir verticalement. 3, record 3, French, - avion%20%C3%A0%20ailes%20basculantes
