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 4, 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 4, French, - avion%20%C3%A0%20ailes%20basculantes

Gyroscopic precession. The reaction of a gyro when a force is applied to the spinning wheel. When force is applied to a gyro, the device reacts as if the force had been applied at a point 90 degrees from the point of actual application, in the direction of rotation. Precession affects propellers, which act like gyros, and gyro instruments. Its principle effect is on the heading indicator, which tends to drift over time. 4, record 10, English, - precess

précesser; précessionner : À ce jour (2000), les deux termes ne sont pas répertoriés dans les dictionnaires courants; cependant, les deux formes sont largement attestées dans les textes les plus pointus sur Internet, avec un léger avantage pour «précesser». L'usage ne semble pas avoir tranché en faveur de l'un ou de l'autre. On pourrait penser cependant que la forme «précessionner» est plus conforme aux principes de création par dérivation en français. 9, record 10, French, - pr%C3%A9cessionner
