THRUST FRONT [13 records]

Record 1 2017-11-03

English

Subject field(s)
  • Flight Simulators (Aeroindustry)
CONT

The Dynamic Flight Simulator, or the DFS, is a manned full system simulation facility which reproduces the total G-force environment common to modern high performance aircraft.

CONT

This combination of High-Tech, Low-Tech and Old-Tech is the heart of the Dynamic Flight Simulator at the Naval Warfare Center in Warminster, PA, where the Navy simulates and tests, people and equipment, both of which must function under(often) extreme conditions.... travelling at supersonic speed, or engaging hostile enemy fire, or having to eject from a stricken aircraft and endure the 15 plus G thrust of an ejection seat. When the Navy puts that word "Dynamic" in front of the flight simulator, they really mean it. At the speed levels modern jet fighters attain there aren’t many second chances.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Simulateurs de vol (Constructions aéronautiques)
CONT

Aucun simulateur de vol dynamique actuel n'est en mesure de réaliser des figures liées au combat tournoyant ou à l'évasion de missiles. Ils sont de plus incapables de restituer les effets des manœuvres des chasseurs à poussée vectorielle de nouvelle et future génération. Certaines figures conventionnelles ne peuvent être réalisées en totalité et sont compensées par des effets sonores et visuels de plus en plus réalistes, qui augmentent les déséquilibres sensoriels.

Record 3 2015-06-15

English

Subject field(s)
  • Fencing
DEF

The basic attacking move toward an opponent consisting in a full extension of the arm followed by a wide step forward of the foot on the same side as the sword arm (front foot) while keeping the other foot (rear foot) in place.

CONT

The lunge is a sudden attack on an opponent. The back leg is used for power. First, you swiftly extend your sword arm so that your foil is thrust straight at the target. In the next split second, you lift your front leg forward.

OBS

The lunge is an aggressive action designed to enable the fencer to reach the opponent from a distance greater than that afforded by extension of the weapon arm.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Escrime
DEF

Action consistant en une détente de la jambe arrière combinée avec une projection de la jambe avant.

CONT

La fente est une attaque soudaine. Toute la force vient de la jambe arrière. L'escrimeur déploie d'abord rapidement le bras armé, de façon à diriger son arme droit vers la cible. Immédiatement après, il projette son pied avant.

OBS

Plusieurs sources considèrent «fente» et «développement» synonymes bien qu'en absolu, la «fente» se limite à la projection de la jambe du côté du bras armé vers l'avant avec détente de la jambe arrière, l'extension du bras armé vers l'avant étant le «déploiement» ou «allongement du bras», et le «développement», le combiné des deux soient le déploiement du bras suivi de la fente.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Esgrima

Extensión de la pierna adelantada del esgrimidor, usada en un ataque básico.

Record 5 2011-06-30

English

Subject field(s)
  • Physical Fitness Training and Bodybuilding
CONT

Stand with feet slightly wider than hip width apart and toes pointing out slightly. Squat down and grasp bar with a closed, pronated grip.... First pull phase : lift bar from floor by forcefully extending hips and knees.... Keep elbows fully extended(straight), head in a neutral position and shoulders over the bar. As bar raises, keep it as close to shins as possible. Transition(scoop) phase : as bar passes knees, thrust hips forward and slightly re-flex knees to avoid locking them.... Second pull phase : Forcefully and quickly extend hips and knees and plantar-flex ankles(stand on toes). Keep bar as close to body as possible.... Keep shoulders over bar and elbows extended(arms straight) as long as possible. When lower body joints reach full extension, rapidly shrug the shoulders upward, but do not let elbows flex yet. As shoulders reach their highest elevation, flex elbows to begin pulling body under bar. Continue to pull arms as high and as long as possible.... feet may lose contact with floor. Catch phase : after lower body has fully extended and bar reaches near maximal height, pull body under bar and rotate arms around and under bar. Simultaneously, hips and knees flex into a quarter squat position. Once arms are under bar, lift elbows to position the upper arms parallel to floor. Rack the bar across front of clavicles(collar bones) and anterior deltoids(front shoulder muscles).... Stand up by extending hips and knees to a fully erect position. Downward movement phase : lower bar by gradually reducing muscular tension of arms to allow a controlled descent of the bar to the thighs.... Squat down with the elbows fully extended until the bar touches the floor.

  • Servicing and Maintenance (Motor Vehicles and Bicycles)
  • Wheels and Tires (Motor Vehicles and Bicycles)
  • Steering Systems (Motor Vehicles and Bicycles)
CONT

Front-end alignment, sometimes called two-wheel alignment, checks only the front wheel angles. This may be fine for old rear-wheel drive vehicles, but it doesn’t check if the front tires are properly positioned in front of the rear tires. To do this, you need a 4-wheel alignment... Four-wheel alignment checks the front wheel angles, the rear wheel angles, and the thrust angle alignment as well.

Subject field(s)
  • Launchers (Astronautics)
  • Launching and Space Maneuvering
CONT

Thrust control module. The thrust will be limited to two sources, one in the front and the other on the back of the robot respectively. These gas-powered thrusters will use nitrogen(outside the ISS [International Space Station]) or pressurised air(inside the ISS) and will be designed to last at least some hours of intensive use. The thruster's control will have adaptive "intelligence", for extra speed or weigh situations. This will provide an always secure flight, independent of abnormal robot conditions.

Record 9 1985-11-29

English

Subject field(s)
  • Aircraft Propulsion Systems
CONT

Modifications have improved performance, reliability and maintainability. These include the rectangular, zero-scarf front nozzles, which give 200 lb(91 kg) more thrust(and help circulation round the flaps), a stronger first-stage HP compressor vane, and improved HP turbine cooling.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Propulsion des aéronefs
CONT

Certaines modifications ont permis d'améliorer les performances et la fiabilité [du moteur], et d'en faciliter l'entretien. On a notamment adopté des tuyères avant à section rectangulaire sans biais, ce qui s'est traduit par une augmentation de 90kg de la poussée et par une amélioration de la circulation d'air autour des volets; on a également renforcé les aubes du premier étage du compresseur HP et amélioré le refroidissement de la turbine HP.

P. C. B. [Plenum Chamber Burning] consists of burning fuel in the front(cold) jet streams to give thrust boost for take-off in supersonic flight and, in consequence, a better thrust/S. F. C. matching in throttle-back subsonic cruise at low altitude.
