The angle of repose, or critical angle of repose, of a granular material is the steepest angle of descent or dip relative to the horizontal plane on which...

angle of repose, in engineering; the steepest angle of descent of a slope when the material is on the verge of sliding This disambiguation page lists articles...

advantage of wind direction of a different altitude, particularly with balloons. Normal descents take place at a constant airspeed and constant angle of descent...

of runway. In a forward slip much more drag is created, allowing the pilot to dissipate altitude without increasing airspeed, increasing the angle of...

The angle the slope descends, or dip, and the direction of descent, which can be represented by strike or dip direction. Dip is the inclination of a given...

onset of trench warfare after the first few months of World War I greatly increased the demand for howitzers that gave a steep angle of descent, which...

Kurt Steven Angle (born December 9, 1968) is an American retired professional wrestler, amateur wrestler and podcaster. He first earned recognition for...

and the NTSB report. Angle of descent and rate of descent are two different things. The aircraft approached at a high rate of descent but, because its forward...

equivalent guns. All this means they can deliver fire with a steep angle of descent. Because of their multi-charge capability, their ammunition is mostly separate...

were able to reduce the angle of descent, but due to excessive speed and insufficient altitude, were unable to regain control of the aircraft. The plane...

measures the angle between the descent direction and the negative gradient. The second term measures how quickly the gradient changes along the descent direction...

The Angles were one of the main Germanic peoples who settled in Great Britain in the post-Roman period. They founded several kingdoms of the Heptarchy...

βράχιστος χρόνος (brákhistos khrónos) 'shortest time'), or curve of fastest descent, is the one lying on the plane between a point A and a lower point...

a relatively shallow angle. Older oceanic lithosphere is subducted in the western Pacific, with steeper angles of slab descent. This variation affects...

lower surface of each wing, for gliders. Most early gliders were equipped with spoilers on the wings in order to adjust their angle of descent during approach...

of the arrays, glide slope supports only straight-line approaches with a constant angle of descent. Installation of an ILS can be costly because of siting...

that changes to a sharper angle of descent when entering the tomb following the first chamber. The entry to the tomb consists of four hallways (A–D), each...

addition it proved difficult to properly guide the bomb to impact as the angle of descent changed, and if the bomb was not aimed accurately so as to end up roughly...

travel on a ballistic trajectory, arriving at its target at a steep angle of descent and so strike the deck armour although at a velocity markedly less...

flight, and land shorter than expected. The majority of the time, this increased angle of descent will lead to an increased bounce, making it a particularly...
