All planes are not cambered to the same extent: some have a very small curvature; in others the curve is greatly pronounced.
Planes of the former type are generally fitted to racing aeroplanes, because they offer less resistance to the air than do deeply-cambered planes.
In the illustration of the Bleriot monoplane here given you will notice that there is one main plane, consisting of a pair of highly-cambered wings; hence the name "MONOplane".
As a cambered plane is moved in flight, the air-pressure upon it is not disposed equally over the surface, but tends to locate itself at a spot to the front of the middle line of the plane.
It will be remembered that, according to early experiments, there was a pressure below a cambered plane, and a vacuum or lifting influence upon the top.
As already explained, cambered surfaces are used, and these are longitudinally unstable at those angles of incidence producing a reasonable lift-drift ratio, i.
Always cambered when intended to secure a reaction in one direction only.
It is therefore necessary to find a means of stabilizing the naturally unstable cambered surface.
A is a cambered surface, attitude approximately vertical, moving through the air in the direction M.
Shows hogged bottom, usual in the type with a rigid bottom frame, which becomes straight or cambered when canoe is afloat and manned.
Because of the manner in which the keelson is camberedand the floor fitted, the bottom of the covered hull shows in cross section a slight ~V~, reducing toward the bow and stern, that is typical of the Alaskan umiak.
Here the sunlight gleamed on the taut, cambered wings, on the bamboo spars, the varnished blade of the motionless propeller, all shiny as a new toyshop.
Another of the huge sails with cambered sections was set up on end across a corner; and from behind it there moved, stepping daintily and majestically across the floor, the tawny shape of a Great Dane, who came inquiringly up to the stranger.
The Cambered Foot I shall not pretend that I knew the man in America or that he was a friend of my family or that some one had written to me about him.
Nobody ever had a foot cambered like that, or with a heel like it, or with toes like it.
The trusses for a span of seventy-two feet are cambered or bent upwards about ten inches, which both adds to their strength and improves the appearance.
A surface can, of course, be both cambered and arched.
Wind cambered surfaces are, however, totally unsuitable in gusty weather, when the wind has frequently a downward trend, which has the effect of cambering the surface the wrong way about, and placing the machine flat on the ground.
We now know that the top (or convex side) of the cambered surface is practically almost as important as the underneath or concave side in bringing this result about.
The next question, after having decided the question of aerocurve, or curvature of the planes, is at what angle to set the cambered surface to the line of flight.
On a well shaped aerocurve or correctly designed cambered surface.
Also, the form of cambered surface should be a paraboloid--not arc or arc of circles.
The double surfaced planes were to be built with wooden ribs and arranged with a slight dihedral angle; there was to be a large aspect ratio and the wings were cambered as in Stringfellow's later models.
As already explained, cambered surfaces are used, and these are longitudinally unstable at those angles of incidence producing a reasonable lift-drift ratio, i.
But as he tramped out on the flying-field he began to run at the sight of two wide, cambered wings, rounded at the ends like the end of one's thumb, attached to a fragile long body of open framework.
His insistence on the camberedwing did not convince others, who went on experimenting with flat planes.
As the speed built up, the cambered disk would ride up the shaft and free itself, rising vertically, with the jets taking over the job of whirling the cambered section.
The saucers, his informant said, were rotating disks with cambered surfaces--originally a Nazi device.
He gave me a few details on how a cambered or slotted-vane rotating disk might operate, then interrupted himself to ask me what I thought the saucers were.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "cambered" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
