Air brake (aeronautics)
In aeronautics, air brakes or speed brakes are a type of flight control surface used on an aircraft to increase the drag on the aircraft.
See Merville D.63 and Air brake (aeronautics)
Aircraft canopy
An aircraft canopy is the transparent enclosure over the cockpit of some types of aircraft.
See Merville D.63 and Aircraft canopy
Aircraft fabric covering
Aircraft fabric covering is a term used for both the material used and the process of covering aircraft open structures.
See Merville D.63 and Aircraft fabric covering
Aircraft fairing
An aircraft fairing is a structure whose primary function is to produce a smooth outline and reduce drag.
See Merville D.63 and Aircraft fairing
Boulogne-sur-Mer
Boulogne-sur-Mer (Boulonne-su-Mér; Bonen; Gesoriacum or Bononia), often called just Boulogne, is a coastal city in Northern France.
See Merville D.63 and Boulogne-sur-Mer
Cannes
Cannes (Canas) is a city located on the French Riviera.
Cantilever
A cantilever is a rigid structural element that extends horizontally and is unsupported at one end.
See Merville D.63 and Cantilever
Chord (aeronautics)
In aeronautics, the chord is an imaginary straight line joining the leading edge and trailing edge of an aerofoil.
See Merville D.63 and Chord (aeronautics)
Dihedral (aeronautics)
In aeronautics, dihedral is the angle between the left and right wings (or tail surfaces) of an aircraft.
See Merville D.63 and Dihedral (aeronautics)
Druine Condor
The Druine D.60 Condor is a light aircraft designed by Roger Druine in France in the 1950s.
See Merville D.63 and Druine Condor
Elevator (aeronautics)
Elevators are flight control surfaces, usually at the rear of an aircraft, which control the aircraft's pitch, and therefore the angle of attack and the lift of the wing.
See Merville D.63 and Elevator (aeronautics)
Fin
A fin is a thin component or appendage attached to a larger body or structure.
Flap (aeronautics)
A flap is a high-lift device used to reduce the stalling speed of an aircraft wing at a given weight.
See Merville D.63 and Flap (aeronautics)
Flat-four engine
A flat-four engine, also known as a horizontally opposed-four engine or boxer engine, is a four-cylinder piston engine with two banks of cylinders lying on opposite sides of a common crankshaft.
See Merville D.63 and Flat-four engine
Flight International
Flight International is a monthly magazine focused on aerospace.
See Merville D.63 and Flight International
France
France, officially the French Republic, is a country located primarily in Western Europe.
Glider (sailplane)
A glider or sailplane is a type of glider aircraft used in the leisure activity and sport of gliding (also called soaring).
See Merville D.63 and Glider (sailplane)
Leading edge
The leading edge is the part of the wing that first contacts the air;Crane, Dale: Dictionary of Aeronautical Terms, third edition, page 305.
See Merville D.63 and Leading edge
Monoplane
A monoplane is a fixed-wing aircraft configuration with a single mainplane, in contrast to a biplane or other types of multiplanes, which have multiple planes.
See Merville D.63 and Monoplane
Plywood
Plywood is a composite material manufactured from thin layers, or "plies", of wood veneer that are glued together with adjacent layers, having both glued with each other at right angle.
Potez 4E
The Potez 4E is a French air-cooled flat-four piston engine of the 1960s.
See Merville D.63 and Potez 4E
Propeller (aeronautics)
In aeronautics, an aircraft propeller, also called an airscrew,Beaumont, R.A.; Aeronautical Engineering, Odhams, 1942, Chapter 13, "Airscrews".
See Merville D.63 and Propeller (aeronautics)
Shock absorber
A shock absorber or damper is a mechanical or hydraulic device designed to absorb and damp shock impulses.
See Merville D.63 and Shock absorber
Spar (aeronautics)
In a fixed-wing aircraft, the spar is often the main structural member of the wing, running spanwise at right angles (or thereabouts depending on wing sweep) to the fuselage.
See Merville D.63 and Spar (aeronautics)
Tailplane
A tailplane, also known as a horizontal stabilizer, is a small lifting surface located on the tail (empennage) behind the main lifting surfaces of a fixed-wing aircraft as well as other non-fixed-wing aircraft such as helicopters and gyroplanes.
See Merville D.63 and Tailplane
Tricycle landing gear
Tricycle gear is a type of aircraft undercarriage, or landing gear, arranged in a tricycle fashion.
See Merville D.63 and Tricycle landing gear
Trim tab
Trim tabs are small surfaces connected to the trailing edge of a larger control surface on a boat or aircraft, used to control the trim of the controls, i.e. to counteract hydro- or aerodynamic forces and stabilise the boat or aircraft in a particular desired attitude without the need for the operator to constantly apply a control force.
See Merville D.63 and Trim tab
World War I
World War I (alternatively the First World War or the Great War) (28 July 1914 – 11 November 1918) was a global conflict between two coalitions: the Allies (or Entente) and the Central Powers.
