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 2, English, - starboard%20wing

En s'abaissant, l'aileron de droite devrait augmenter la portance sur l'aile droite mais, en pratique, il est possible qu'il la réduise en augmentant l'angle d'attaque au-delà de l'angle de portance maximal. Mais ce qui est tout à fait certain, c'est que la traînée de l'aile droite augmente énormément et tend à retenir l'aile pour faire tourner l'avion à droite. 2, record 2, French, - aile%20droite

Steel boilers are fabricated into one assembly of a given size and rating, usually by welding. The heat exchange surface past the firebox usually is an assembly of vertical, horizontal, or slanted tubes. The tubes may be firetube(flue gas inside, heated fluid outside) or watertube(fluid inside). The tubes may be in one or more passes. As with cast-iron boilers, dry base, wet leg, or wet base design may be used. The majority of small steel heating boilers are of dry base, vertical firetube design. Larger boilers usually have horizontal or slanted tubes; both firetube and watertube designs are used. A popular design for medium and large steel boilers, is the Scotch, or Scotch Marine, which is characterized by having a central fluid-backed cylindrical firebox, surrounded by firetubes in one or more passes, all within the outer shell.... Steel boiler sizes range from approximately 14. 7 kW(150 mBh) to the largest boilers made. 2, record 3, English, - steel%20boiler

Chaudière: Certains auteurs incluent l'air dans les types de fluide caloporteur de la chaudière. En général, on devrait plutôt dire "chaudière" lorsque le fluide caloporteur est l'eau ou la vapeur et "générateur d'air chaud", lorsque le fluide, est l'air. 3, record 3, French, - chaudi%C3%A8re%20en%20acier

générateur; chaudière: Certains auteurs semblent employer indifféremment ces termes, peu importe l'importance de l'appareil. Cependant, de façon générale, "générateur" serait réservé aux "appareils de chauffage de très grande importance"; dans d'autres cas, le terme "générateur", prendrait le sens général "d'appareil qui produit de la chaleur". 3, record 3, French, - chaudi%C3%A8re%20en%20acier
