powered-lift definition
powered-lift means a heavier-than-air aircraft capable of vertical takeoff, vertical landing, and low speed flight that depends principally on engine driven lift devices or engine thrust for lift during these flight regimes and on non-rotating airfoil(s) for lift during horizontal flight;
powered-lift means a heavier-than-air aircraft capable of vertical take-off, vertical landing, and low- speed flight, which depends principally on engine-driven lift devices or engine thrust for the lift during these flights regimes and on non-rotating aerofoil(s) for lift during horizontal flight.
powered-lift means any aircraft deriving vertical lift and in flight propulsion/lift from variable geometry rotors or engines/propulsive devices attached to or contained within the fuselage or wings.
More Definitions of powered-lift
powered-lift means a heavier-than-air aircraft which can take-off and land vertically and can fly with low velocity, by resorting to engine thrusters or engines for buoyancy during such flight, which does not have non-rotating aerofoil(s) in horizontal aeronautics.
powered-lift means a heavier-than-air aircraft capable of vertical takeoff, vert ical landing, and low speed flight that depends principally on engine driven lift devices or engine thrust for lift during these flight regimes and on non-rotating airfoil(s) for lift during horizontal flight; “powerplant” means an engine that is used or intended to be used for propelling aircraft, and it includes turbo superchargers, appurtenances, and accessories necessary for its functioning, but does not include propellers;
