Faute de grives, la Luftwaffe décida donc de recourir à la formule de l'avion-gigogne. Produits à plusieurs centaines d'exemplaires, les «Mistel» n'étaient rien d'autre que des Junkers 88 inhabités, débarrassés de tout équipement, truffés de deux à trois tonnes d'explosifs, et sur le dos desquels on attachait un chasseur monomoteur Me-109 ou FW-190. Le pilote du chasseur assurait le décollage et le convoyage de l'ensemble, puis se libérait du bombardier après avoir lancé celui-ci sous un angle de 15 degrés vers la cible, sur laquelle il explosait quelques secondes plus tard. 1, record 7, French, - avion%2Dgigogne

The local orbital reference system is defined at each point of the orbit by three unit vectors. These vectors are derived from the satellite position and velocity vectors: Vector L is colinear with position vector P (on the axis between the Earth’s centre and the satellite). It defines the yaw axis. Vector T is perpendicular to the orbital plane (vector L, vector V). It defines the pitch axis. Vector R completes the set of orthogonal axes. It lies in the plane defined by Vectors L and V and defines the roll axis.

Spacecraft axes. The three orthogonal axes of rotation : roll, pitch and yaw. If the spacecraft has a recognisable longitudinal axis or a specified forward direction of flight, the axes are analogous to those of an aircraft, where the roll axis is the longitudinal axis; the pitch axis is in the plane of the wings; and the yaw axis is the "vertical" axis, orthogonal to both the roll and pitch axes. The axes are mutually perpendicular, with an "origin" at the vehicle's centre of mass. For a winged spacecraft such as a Space Shuttle, the similarity with an aircraft is obvious. For expendable launch vehicles the roll axis is the axis which is vertical at launch and the other axes are more-or-less arbitrarily assigned since the vehicle rotates about the roll axis in flight.... The axes of a cylindrical spacecraft(e. g. Apollo, Suyuz, etc.) are similar to those of an ELV [Expendable Launch Vehicle] at launch, but one orbit assume the axis-definition of an aircraft(i. e. defined relative to the pilot's seat). The axes of a satellite mirror those of an aircraft "flying along the orbital arc" : the roll axis is aligned with the direction of travel; the yaw axis passes through the sub-satellite point; and the pitch axis is orthogonal to the other two. For a satellite in an equatorial orbit, the pitch axis is aligned approximately with the Earth's spin axis. The pitch axis is also the spin axis for the spin-stabilised satellite. 4, record 11, English, - roll%20axis

This leads to the definition of the box-shaped satellite’s faces as follows: the "plus-x face" faces east; the "minus-x face" faces west; +y faces south; -y faces north; +z is the Earth-pointing face; and -z is the "anti-Earth face." 4, record 11, English, - roll%20axis

Le repère orbital local est défini en chaque point de l'orbite par les trois vecteurs unitaires. Ces vecteurs sont construits à partir du vecteur position et du vecteur vitesse du satellite : Le vecteur L est colinéaire au vecteur position P (sur l'axe centre Terre, satellite). Il définit l'axe de lacet. Le vecteur T est perpendiculaire au plan de l'orbite (vecteur L, vecteur V). Il définit l'axe de tangage. Le vecteur R complète le trièdre. Il appartient au plan (vecteur L, vecteur V) et définit l'axe de roulis. Il ne coïncide pas exactement avec le vecteur vitesse à cause de l'excentricité de l'orbite. 2, record 12, French, - axe%20de%20tangage

Transport Canada is responsible for rocket launch activities by virtue of the Aeronautics Act. This Act enables the creation of the Canadian Aviation Regulations that establish regulations and standards for all aeronautical activities in Canada. The regulations pertain to all forms of aircraft, which by definition includes rockets. In support of this responsibility, Transport Canada has established the Launch Safety Office, which is responsible for the safety oversight of all civilian rocket launches in Canada except for model rocket activities that are exempted from any regulatory requirements under the Act. 1, record 13, English, - Launch%20Safety%20Office

DIRCM is a revolutionary protection system, which is designed to detect the launch of a heat-seeking missile, determine if it is a threat and track its flight, before defeating its seeker head with an emission of infra red energy.

The orbital aircraft has the capability to fly suborbital missions without propellant transfer, to distances of 3, 000 to 6, 000 nautical miles, depending on the aerodynamic configuration This capability exists because the airframe is capable of independent takeoff and landing. This offers a transcontinental range for a number of alternate missions that are difficult to imagine for an air launch concept. For the same reason, the tanker and orbital aircraft may be based at different locations, and interfaced only in flight. This offers more basing flexibility and removes the requirements for specialized facilities and ground support equipment such as that needed to mate the Shuttle orbiter to its carrier aircraft. 2, record 19, English, - orbital%20aircraft

[The] B-2 Spirit originally started as Project Senior CJ and [was] later renamed as ATB(Advance Tactical Bomber). The B-2 uses four F-118 Turbofans.... The turbofan has intake and exhaust at the top of the aircraft to prevent ground control to spot them. The pilot and co-pilot are seated side by side in a zero-zero vertically ejecting ACES II seats.... a B-2 can get updates for GPS satellites to avoid ground firing while the pilot spots the target. Once the target is found, the pilot will turn on special radar, which only scan the target area and once spotted the B-2 will launch its nuclear ordnance or SRAM II missiles.... the B-2 provides the penetrating flexibility and effectiveness inherent in manned bombers. Its low-observable, or "stealth, "characteristics give it the unique ability to penetrate an enemy's most sophisticated defenses and threaten its most-valued, and heavily defended targets. Its unrefueled range is approximately 6, 000 nautical miles(9, 600 kilometers). The B-2's low observability is derived from a combination of reduced infrared, acoustic, electromagnetic, visual and radar signatures. 2, record 21, English, - advanced%20tactical%20bomber
