CONT

This can be accomplished by the very fundamental method of hand loading or by semiautomatic or automatic case-loading machinery... Cases, whether manually or automatically loaded, are classified as top-, side-or end-load. The top-load case has flaps in the largest panel and is the most expensive because of the large flap area. An end-load case, with flaps on the smallest panel, is the least expensive... The... basic case-loading methods are... : hand loading; horizontal semiautomatic case loading; horizontal fully automatic case loading; vertical drop-load and gripper-style case loading; wraparound case loading; and tray former/loader.

Differential adjustment : An aircraft has its wing defined as a wing-like body with a tangential flow rotor in the leading edge. A shroud, under the lower part of the tangential flow rotor, terminates in at least one movable flap defining a lift-generating lip when the rotor is rotating such that the upper part of the rotor, projecting above the level of the upper surface of the wing-like body, is moving rearwardly. Differential adjustment of the flaps in the wings to either side of an aircraft centerline allows directional control and control of banking of the aircraft.
