HEADING SOURCE [10 records]

Record 1 2025-02-11

English

Subject field(s)
  • Surfing and Water-Skiing
CONT

A cutback is a surfing maneuver with which you change your direction on the rail by going back to the breaking part of the wave. See, when you’re at full speed, there's a big chance that you’re getting away from the breaking wave and heading towards the flat spots of the shoulder that don’t have the intrinsic power to carry you. So, you’ll lose speed, and you’ll need to get back to the wave to gain as much speed as you can. That's when you should perform a cutback. In that sense, a cutback isn’t only an aesthetic move, as it gets you back to the power source of the wave : its curl.

Key term(s)
  • cut-back

French

Domaine(s)
  • Ski nautique et surfing
DEF

Une centrale moderne d'attitude et de cap [...] ressemble beaucoup à une centrale inertielle de navigation qui ne fournirait que les assiettes et le cap, et dont les gyroscopes et les accéléromètres seraient de performances modestes : 1 à 10 degrés par heure pour les gyroscopes et quelques millièmes de la pesanteur pour les accéléromètres. La centrale d'attitude et de cap peut être à cardans ou à composants liés [...] et utiliser des gyroscopes mécaniques ou des gyrolasers.

CONT

In its simplest form, an inertial navigation system(INS) consists of an inertial measurement unit(IMU), the navigation computer, and a computer interface. Therefore, the inertial navigation system aboard an aircraft provides, through self-contained equipment, aircraft acceleration, velocity, position, attitude, and heading to the onboard navigation computer and other aircraft subsystems... For certain operations and/or missions... dual or triple redundant inertial navigation systems are required... In a dual INS configuration... as long as either inertial navigation system is providing valid data, its output can be used as the primary reference source for the navigation subsystem.

Key term(s)
  • dual redundant INS
