Barely a boat-length away, smooth jet-black bodies break the surface like submarines then dive beneath Hummingbird.
Seen up close, the seemingly smooth jets break up into a hail of plasma gunfire that races down the length of the jet at nearly the speed of light.
For passengers used to propeller-driven airliners, smooth and quiet jet flight was a novel experience (although passengers of today would consider the Comet noisy, particularly in seats aft of the wing).
In this technique, the liquid jet is gently extruded by the smooth suction caused by the acceleration in the discharge orifice of a coflowing gas stream.
Depending on the stages of the air core in the tank, the outflow shape can vary from a smooth water jet to a smooth spindle shape with air-core, and to water sprays.
So while the transition to Groh is the smoothest the Jets could have made under the circumstances -- unless Parcells had picked up the reins again -- there will still be some upheaval among the coaches.
In a practice race at the ranch, Merrick matched the yearling against Jet Smooth.
Despite not having played since Nov. 23, 2008, Burress said he expected a smooth transition learning the Jets' playbook and developing a rapport with quarterback Mark Sanchez, adding that "a lot of people are going to be surprised with my conditioning".
Together, the band was a picture of Eurotrash flawlessness, every inch the jet-setting "smooth operators" described in Sade's 1984 breakthrough single -- cosmopolitans born to adorn the terrace of a Milanese cafe.
Today, with an extra week of practice to smooth the way, the Jets, distracted though they were, returned to intensive preparation for the New England Patriots with a rebuilt defensive line that is learning to play together on the fly.
Four different formulations of inks (Additional file 1: Table S1) were prepared to obtain an appropriate surface tension and viscosity in the range of 30 50 mN/m and 2 5 mPa s, which is required for a smooth and continuous ink-jet printing.
