Sentence examples for drag and reducing from inspiring English sources

Wind turbines tend to collect large amounts of ice, and aside from introducing significant drag and reducing performance, a spinning turbine can hurl out large chunks of ice that can cause serious damage.

Layers of ice can interfere with a wing's aerodynamics, increasing drag and reducing lift, with potentially catastrophic consequences hence the chemicals' garish colours, meant to ensure that no nook or cranny is missed.

In fact plant stems and leaves convert kinetic energy into turbulent kinetic energy, increasing drag and reducing flow velocity (Nepf 1999).

This ice disrupted airflow over the jet, increasing drag and reducing lift, which prevented the jet from lifting off the runway.

Then, a thermokinetic model considering the mixed effect of solute drag and reduced GB energy is developed.

Grain boundary pinning by Pd-rich precipitates (Zener drag) and reduced dislocation mobility due to a solute drag effect caused by the enrichment of dislocation cores with Pd were both identified as mechanisms which impede recrystallization.

The key findings are: a reduction in profile drag contributes to the improvement the air range, but it does not affect the optimal cruise altitude; improved specific fuel consumption, reduced vortex drag and reduced structural weight point toward a higher cruise altitude.

It increases drag and reduces the lift forces needed to keep the aircraft in the air.

The propellers have a raked design on the wing tips, designed to help cut down on air drag and reduce sound.

Aquila also tested new spoilers it has incorporated into the design to help it increase drag and reduce speed, and it tested radio signal strength aboard the craft.

The complex exhausts for blown diffusers actually reduce Hp at the wheel due to the number of bends in its design, ground effects also increases straight line aero drag and reduces top speed.
