Lift (force) — For other uses, see Lift. Boeing 747 8F landing A fluid flowing past the surface of a body exerts a surface force on it. Lift is the component of this force that is perpendicular to the … Wikipedia
Lift-induced drag — In aerodynamics, lift induced drag, induced drag, vortex drag, or sometimes drag due to lift, is a drag force that occurs whenever a moving object redirects the airflow coming at it. This drag force occurs in airplanes due to wings or a lifting… … Wikipedia
translational lift — The additional lift (or rotor thrust) obtained through air speed because of the increased efficiency of the rotor system, whether it is when transitioning from a hover into forward flight or when hovering in a wind. During a hover, the rotors are … Aviation dictionary
compression lift — An additional lift gained at supersonic speeds by forcing airflow to accelerate beneath the wing. Under surface of wing acts as a diverging duct. Both pressure (P) and velocity (V) increase at supersonic speed but the increase in velocity is… … Aviation dictionary
Boat lift — A boat lift, ship lift, or lift lock is a machine for transporting boats between water at two different elevations, and is an alternative to the canal lock and the canal inclined plane.It may be either vertically moving, like the ship lifts in… … Wikipedia
Dissymmetry of lift — in rotorcraft aerodynamics refers to an uneven amount of lift on opposite sides of the rotor disc. It is a phenomenon that affects single rotor helicopters in lateral flight, whether the direction of flight be forwards, sideways or in reverse.… … Wikipedia
Artificial lift — involves the use of artificial means to increase the flow of liquids, such as crude oil or water, to the surface of a production well. Generally this is achieved by a mechanical device inside the well, such as a pump; decreasing the weight of the … Wikipedia
Shuttle-Derived Heavy Lift Launch Vehicle — This article is about a side mount concept. For other concepts of Shuttle Derived Heavy Lift Launch Vehicles, see Shuttle Derived Launch Vehicle.

Lower body lift — A lower body lift is a medical procedure, a specialized type of tummy tuck . It an extension of the high lateral tension tummy tuck concept developed by the late Dr. Ted Lockwood. Lockwood basically re invented the tummy tuck by re defining the… … Wikipedia
two boat lift net — a large coastal Japanese lift net, with or without wings, operated from two boats and set against the current. May be operated in the day but at night, additional boats with lights are used to attract fish. Also called eight angle net. See also… … Dictionary of ichthyology
airplane — /air playn /, n. 1. a heavier than air aircraft kept aloft by the upward thrust exerted by the passing air on its fixed wings and driven by propellers, jet propulsion, etc. 2. any similar heavier than air aircraft, as a glider or helicopter. Also … Universalium
