SINGAPORE — With its long, elegant bowsprit, twin masts, wooden hull and multiple sails, the traditional Indonesian sailing boat known as a pinisi evokes a bygone era.
On Friday, Beckham and the assembled British dignitaries will accompany the flame on its flight to RNAS Culdrose, near Penzance, from where it will resume its peregrinations – initially in the hands of Ben Ainslie, a multiple Olympic sailing champion – on another long and winding relay before ending up in Stratford's Olympic stadium on 27 July for the opening ceremony.
Multiple Olympic sailing champion Sir Ben Ainslie wants his racing team's facility to be built at Camber Docks in Old Portsmouth.
The purpose of our study is to numerically analyze the aerodynamic characteristics of multiple wing sails which have three identical wing sails in a row and optimize their shape and operation conditions in terms of the flap length, deflection angle and angle of attack under various wind directions.
The validation results show that the average thrust performance of optimized multiple wing sails was improved in all wind directions in comparison with the baseline multiple wing sails.
A design optimization framework using an evolutionary algorithm and the Kriging surrogate model is developed and finds the optimum solution for multiple wing sails to maximize the thrust coefficient.
This paper investigates the problem of multiple solar sail-based spacecraft formation flying in which the chief follows a heliocentric displaced orbit, whereas each deputy adjusts the sail propulsive acceleration so as to track a desired (relative) trajectory with respect to the chief.
If friendship groups were limiting, building multiple shade sails within a school would be valuable.
It was admired so immediately that it bypassed the usual vetting by multiple editors and sailed into print in late 1991, receiving critical acclaim, and the O. Henry Award in 1993 for best short story.
After sailing on multiple transports and skirting the coast at Key West, Fla., his regiment arrived at New Orleans on Dec. 17, 1862.
