Figures formed on the screen of a cathode-ray oscilloscope that show the relationship between the frequency of sine wave signals being applied to the horizontal and vertical inputs. If the frequency and phase of the two sine wave signals are the same, the Lissajous figure will be in the shape of a circle.
If the frequency of the sine wave signal applied to the vertical input is two times that of the signal applied to the horizontal plates, the Lissajous figure will be shaped like a figure eight (8).
Industry:Aviation
Fixed tabs mounted on the trailing edge of a helicopter rotor blade. Blade tabs are adjusted to cause the rotor blades to track properly.
Industry:Aviation
Flaps mounted on the trailing edge of an airplane wing. Trailing edge flaps are extended in flight to increase the camber of the airfoil section. This increases both the lift and the drag produced by the airfoil.
Industry:Aviation
Flashing in-pavement white lights located at specific hold-short points.
