aerodynamic stability

Their surfaces were smooth, the edges rounded, as if they had been built for aerodynamic stability.

Eight fins surrounding the base thrust structure provided aerodynamic stability and control.

The car was diving out of the sky at four times sonic speed, with its aerodynamic stability smashed to hell.

In the wake of Tacoma: suspension bridges and the quest for aerodynamic stability.

The re-entry cone probably has ballast in the nose for aerodynamic stability.

Disadvantages are the low wing loading and high wetted area needed to obtain aerodynamic stability.

The result was less aerodynamic stability; nevertheless the experienced Lindbergh approved the unaltered design.

Leaving the access panel loose would decrease the boat's aerodynamic stability, but even that effect would be slight.

He hoped to achieve automatic aerodynamic stability, so he gave little consideration to in-flight control.

These dimensions favour aerodynamic stability and speed.

So, unlike other jets, the Concorde used fuel not only for the engines, but also for aerodynamic stability.

For example, the tail fins, originally intended to improve aerodynamic stability, died out within a few years as a fashion accessory.

In initial testing, the aircraft proved unpopular with test pilots, who raised concerns about the design's aerodynamic stability .

The missiles lose aerodynamic stability.

This spin serves to gyroscopically stabilize the projectile, improving its aerodynamic stability and accuracy.

On the viewer, huge gouts of friction-fueled flame shot off the violently-rolling ship as it lost all its aerodynamic stability.

However, there is an upper limit to bluntness imposed by aerodynamic stability considerations based upon shock wave detachment.

Safety-related car aerodynamic stability investigations.

Lifting bodies were wingless vehicles designed to generate lift and aerodynamic stability from the shape of their bodies.

The 420K's envelope shape, fin design, and cable attachment points are further optimized for high aerodynamic stability and easy ground handling.

At close standoff distance there is no need for the cone-tailed projectiles' aerodynamic stability, which means that the liner can be simplified.

The Thunderchief's wing loading was excellent for speed and aerodynamic stability but not for sustained turns in a dogfight.

During testing the aircraft suffered from aerodynamic stability problems, but not as bad as the Airspeed design which was cancelled in February 1941.
