Lift-off may be as simple as maintaining the minimum drag angle until enough lift is produced and/or applying increased back pressure at the appropriate time. The far shoreline should be used as an attitude reference until climb speed is attained.... Application of take-off power should cause the aircraft to lift off the water without delay. 2, record 1, English, - lift%2Doff

Le déjaugeage est un changement de régime de l'avancement d'un objet dans l'eau, d'un régime «archimédien» (l'objet flotte par poussée d'Archimède) à un régime dynamique où sa vitesse lui permet d'être porté par la surface de l'eau. [...] Le déjaugeage est un phénomène exploité par les navires à grande vitesse, les aéroglisseurs, et certains voiliers de course à certaines allures. Il est également essentiel dans la phase de décollage d'un hydravion. 4, record 1, French, - d%C3%A9jaugeage

The lower blade velocity of the retreating blade and the negative lift of the reverse flow region cause the outboard portion of the retreating blade to operate at higher and higher angles of attack as the aircraft forward flight speed is increased. At some airspeed, the retreating blade will surpass its critical stall angle of attack. This is referred to as retreating blade tip stall. 1, record 4, English, - retreating%20blade%20tip%20stall

It has been proposed to utilize the so-called "jet-pump" principle to provide increased lift on an aerofoil or hydrofoil. A jet-pump comprises a high velocity but relatively low mass flow rate primary jet to induce a flow of secondary, ambient fluid in order to enhance the mass flow rate. 2, record 5, English, - jet%20pump%20principle

A typical multi-head breaker is a rubber-tired, self-propelled unit which carries 1, 000 to 1, 500 pound hammers mounted laterally in pairs. Half of the hammers are in a forward row and the remainder diagonally offset in a rear row so that there is continuous breakage from side to side. Each pair of hammers is attached to a hydraulic lift cylinder which operates as an independent unit. Each unit can develop between 1, 000 and 8, 000 foot pounds of energy depending upon drop height selected. The units can cycle at a rate of 30 to 35 impacts per minute. The typical machine is eight foot wide and carries twelve hammers eight inches in width. An extension wing, carrying two 1, 500 pound hammers, can be added to each side for a total breaking width of up to 13 feet. Pavement breaking can be as narrow as 2. 67 feet or increased in increments up to 13 feet. Typical production rates per machine are 6000-8000 square yards per day. 1, record 6, English, - multi%2Dhead%20breaker%20machine
