All helicopters incorporate a one-way clutch system that allows the rotor blades to continue to rotate under the effects of inertia and autogiro-type flight in the event of engine failure.... the flow of the airstream through the helicopter rotor disk is reversed. The force of gravity continues the operation of the rotor blade, thereby reducing the rate of descent and allowing a successful emergency landing. Because of the time required to effect this change and the necessity for other flight maneuvers, these characteristics led to the development of a restricted area of operations of the helicopter known as the deadman's curve, bounding that area of height and speed in which the helicopter should not be operated. 1, record 6, English, - deadman%26rsquo%3Bs%20curve

The SCDA technique involves intercepting and maintaining an optimum descent angle to minimum descent altitude(MDA).

If you have damaged suspension lines, blown section or gore, you must compare your rate of descent with your fellow jumpers. If you are falling faster than your fellow jumpers, you will activate your reserve parachute. If you are not falling faster than your fellow jumpers, you will activate your reserve parachute. If you are not falling faster, maintain what you have. 2, record 22, English, - partial%20malfunction

Partial malfunctions occur when the parachute deploys, but does not work properly. This creates a situation that does not allow you to land safely. Canopies that partially malfunction do not look "good" and tend to move violently. The following conditions may cause a partial malfunction: line over (a line goes over the canopy instead of straight down to the harness), entangled or broken lines, and holes, burns and/or rips in the canopy. The exact procedure to follow varies by drop zone, but genrally you will cut away the main canopy and open the reserve parachute. 3, record 22, English, - partial%20malfunction

On parle de défaillance partielle lorsque le parachute se déploie mais ne fonctionne pas correctement. Cette situation est dangereuse car elle ne vous permet pas d'atterrir en toute sécurité. Les voiles défaillantes présentent un aspect un peu usé et ont tendance à se balancer violemment. Les conditions suivantes peuvent provoquer une défaillance partielle : suspente passée au-dessus de la voile (et non pas tendue entre la voile et le harnais), suspentes emmêlées ou cassées et voile trouée, brûlée et/ou déchirée. La procédure exacte à suivre varie selon les zones de sauts, mais il vous sera généralement conseillé de couper la voile principale pour ouvrir le parachute de secours. 1, record 22, French, - d%C3%A9faillance%20partielle

This new approach to autonomous control is based on the fact that non-linear dynamic systems can be controlled using analytically derived functions. The method hinges on defining an artificial potential field which represents the environment in which the vehicle is to manoeuvre. The potential field is configured to have a global minimum at the desired terminal state of the vehicle and has region of high potential which represents path constraints. This property enables active collision avoidance. Vehicle controls are then chosen such that the rate of descent of the potential field along the vehicle trajectory is always rendered negative definite. According to Lyapunov's theorem, this ensures that the vehicle converges to the desired terminal state without violating pre-defined path constraints. 2, record 27, English, - artificial%20potential%20field
