Sugarbeet root maggot adult flies are similar in size and appearance to the house fly(about 1/4 inch). Unlike the house fly, the body is shiny black with few hairs. The wings of this fly are transparent with a smoky-brown patch located on the front of the wing about one-third the distance from the wing base. Also, the legs have yellowish-white bands on the next to last segment("ankles"), with the rest of the leg being black. 3, record 1, English, - sugarbeet%20root%20maggot

The wing root is that part of the wing, on a fixed-wing aircraft, that is closest to the fuselage. On simple designs where the wing joins the fuselage in a high wing, mid-wing or low wing monoplane configuration this is usually easy to identify. In parasol wing aircraft or multiple-boom aircraft the wing may not have a clear root area. Wing roots are the part of the wing that usually bears the highest bending forces in flight and on landing. They often have fairings to reduce interference drag between the wing and the fuselage. 3, record 4, English, - wing%20root

Just about anything that works for aft-swept wings can be applied to forward swept wings, but the spanwise distribution of flow and turbulence is reversed. Thus, where the aft-swept wing induces pitch-up as the tips stall at high angles of attack, the tips of the forward-swept wing retain good airflow and the root tends to become turbulent. 4, record 5, English, - forward%20swept%20wing

Les avantages de l'aile en flèche inverse sont multiples. En effet cette aile permet à l'appareil d'être très agile et permet aussi des vitesses de décollage et d'atterrissage très faible, car la vitesse de décrochage de l'avion est très faible. Mais cette aile offre aussi une traînée plus faible qu'une aile classique, et ainsi permet à l'appareil d'avoir un réacteur moins puissant (donc consommant moins de carburant) et donc être plus petit, pour avoir les mêmes performances que celles d'un appareil doté d'une voilure classique. 8, record 5, French, - aile%20en%20fl%C3%A8che%20n%C3%A9gative

A dihedral wing is producing equal lift on the port and the starboard wing in straight and level flight. If the starboard wing dips, it’s vertical lift component will begin to increase and it’s horizontal lift component will begin to decrease until the wing is parallel to the flow (trigonometry and the lift force components on your wing) and at the same time the vertical lift component on the port wing will decrease. This makes the starboard wing rise and the port wing dip until it reaches it’s equilibrium position (hopefully, level and straight). 4, record 7, English, - starboard%20wing
