Sentence examples for glider performance from inspiring English sources

Races are handicapped according to glider performance, and normally take place over nine days.

The speed to fly theory allows the optimal cruising speed between thermals to be computed, using thermal strength, glider performance and other variables.

We will discuss this model's estimation accuracy and glider performance in the next section.

These are based on glider performance, the lowest being club class, and then progressing through standard (maximum 15 m wingspan, and flaps not permitted), 15 m (as standard, but flaps are permitted), 18 m (maximum 18 m wingspan), and finally open-class (no restrictions).

One of the measures of a glider's performance is the distance that it can fly for each meter it descends, known as its glide ratio.

With a more realistic configuration of 10 gliders, the performance depends on the space and time distribution of the vehicles.

Optimality relates to glider characteristics and environmental conditions.

During a dive, its riblike pockets fill with rushing air, turning the chute into a stiff wing that jumpers can steer like a high-performance glider.

It weighs just 1,500 kilograms, making it five times lighter than a high-performance glider would be if made that big.The complex skeleton of HB-SIA is constructed from carbon-fibre composites formed into honeycomb and sandwich structures.

The result demonstrates that the BWB underwater glider has excellent hydrodynamic performance, and the lift to drag ratio of initial design is increased by 7% in the EGO process.

First, we want to explore the hypothesis that Drosophila's glider responses follow from performance optimization within biologically plausible circuit architectures.
