aeronautics collapse: the theory and practice of navigation through air or space

radar collapse: measuring instrument in which the echo of a pulse of microwave radiation is used to detect and locate distant objects

sailing collapse: the departure of a vessel from a port; riding in a sailboat

airline collapse: a commercial enterprise that provides scheduled flights for passengers; a hose that carries air under pressure

triangulation collapse: a method of surveying; the area is divided into triangles and the length of one side and its angles with the other two are measured, then the lengths of the other sides can be calculated; a trigonometric method of determining the position of a fixed point from the angles to it from two fixed points a known distance apart; useful in navigation

radio station collapse: station for the production and transmission of radio broadcasts

scanning collapse: the act of systematically moving a finely focused beam of light or electrons over a surface in order to produce an image of it for analysis or transmission; the process of translating photographs into a digital form that can be recognized by a computer

stargazer collapse: heavy-bodied marine bottom-lurkers with eyes on flattened top of the head

astronomy collapse: the branch of physics that studies celestial bodies and the universe as a whole

aeromedicine collapse: the study and treatment of disorders associated with flight (especially with space flight)

flying collapse: done swiftly in or as if in the air; used e.g. of a racing start in which runners are already in motion as they cross the starting line; "a flying start"; "crossed the goal line with a flying leap"; hurried and brief; "paid a flying visit"; "took a flying glance at the book"; "a quick inspection"; "a fast visit"; of or relating to passage through the air (especially aviation); "a flying time of three hours between cities"; "unidentified flying objects"; designed for swift movement or action; "a flying police squad is trained for quick action anywhere in the city"; capable of or engaged in flight; "the bat is a flying animal"

direction finder collapse: radio; determines the direction of incoming radio waves

aerology collapse: meteorology of the total extent of the atmosphere; especially the upper layers

meteorology collapse: the earth science dealing with phenomena of the atmosphere (especially weather); predicting what the weather will be

planetarium collapse: an apparatus or model for representing the solar systems; an optical device for projecting images of celestial bodies and other astronomical phenomena onto the inner surface of a hemispherical dome; a building housing an instrument for projecting the positions of the planets onto a domed ceiling

hydrostatics collapse: study of the mechanical properties of fluids that are not in motion

photometry collapse: measurement of the properties of light (especially luminous intensity)

sonar collapse: a measuring instrument that sends out an acoustic pulse in water and measures distances in terms of the time for the echo of the pulse to return; "sonar is an acronym for sound navigation ranging"; "asdic is an acronym for antisubmarine detection investigation committee"

radio collapse: a communication system based on broadcasting electromagnetic waves; medium for communication; indicating radiation or radioactivity; "radiochemistry"; transmit messages via radio waves; "he radioed for help"

pneumatics collapse: the branch of mechanics that deals with the mechanical properties of gases

soaring collapse: ascending to a level markedly higher than the usual; "soaring prices"; moving to great heights with little apparent effort; "a soaring eagle"
