A less dramatic use for thrust reversers is the powerback, a maneuver in which an aircraft is backed up under its own power. As a matter of procedure, pilots are cautioned not to apply brakes while powering back, as this may cause the aircraft to settle on its tail. Stops are made instead by first applying forward thrust and then braking normally once forward motion begins. 2, record 5, English, - apply%20brakes

Even when the designer has settled the size and angle of the tail plane, the force which it will experience will be outside the control of the pilot, and although they may automatically compensate for such things as changes in pitching moment on the main planes, they cannot possibly deal with changes of weight such as are caused by the dropping of bombs, consumption of fuel, and changes in the disposition of passengers and cargo. For this reason the adjustable tail plane was introduced, this being operated by an actuating gear and controlled by a wheel or lever in the pilot's cockpit. This enabled the pilot to alter the angle of setting of the tail plane during flight and so cause downward or upward forces upon it at will, thus balancing the aeroplane under all conditions. 2, record 13, English, - adjustable%20tailplane

Myosin molecules were known to be more complex : they have globular "head" domains that bind actin filaments and helical "tail" domains that self-associate to form bipolar myosin filaments. In 1963 Hugh E. Huxley of the MRC demonstrated that myosin heads bind to actin filaments at an acute angle; under the electron microscope, the filaments, adorned with myosin heads, looked like a series of arrowheads. 1, record 15, English, - myosin%20head

Les molécules de myosine ont une tête globulaire, qui se lie aux filaments d'actine, et une queue hélicoïdale. Les queues s'associent spontanément entre elles pour former des filaments de myosine bipolaires [...] En 1963, Hugh Huxley, du Conseil britannique de la recherche médicale, montra que les têtes des molécules de myosine se lient aux filaments d'actine en se couchant légèrement contre eux; au microscope électronique à balayage, on voit que les filaments d'actine auxquels sont liées les têtes de myosine forment des flèches emboîtées, de sorte que les filaments d'actine sont naturellement orientés, avec une partie «barbée» et une partie «pointue». 1, record 15, French, - t%C3%AAte%20de%20myosine

The aerodrome must be designed to accommodate aeroplane operations under most normal wind conditions. A tail wind on one runway is a head wind on a runway with a reciprocal heading. Runway lengths increase with tail wind, so when using the bidirectional runway concept(i. e. theoretically utilizing a head wind for all conditions in establishing runway length), the zero-wind condition is critical for both take-off and landing. 1, record 17, English, - bidirectional%20runway%20concept

La longueur de piste augmente avec le vent arrière, aussi lorsque l'on emploie la notion de piste bidirectionnelle (c'est-à-dire en utilisant théoriquement un vent debout dans toutes les circonstances pour établir la longueur de piste), c'est la condition de vent nul qui est critique tant pour le décollage que pour l'atterrissage. 1, record 17, French, - notion%20de%20piste%20bidirectionnelle
