Consumers had limited choices and often had to accept lower-quality products.

As competition emerged, quality became a differentiator, leading to the introduction of quality inspectors. Here's a breakdown of the evolution:

1. Product Inspection (1920s)

• 100% Inspection:

Aerodynamics

The study of the properties of moving air, and especially of the interaction between the air and solid bodies moving through it.

Airfoil

A structure with curved surfaces designed to give the most favorable ratio of lift to drag in flight, used as the basic form of the wings, fins, and horizontal stabilizer of most aircraft.

Angle of Attack

Is the angle between the oncoming air or relative wind and a reference line on the airplane or wing.

Angle of Incidence

The acute angle the wing chord makes with the longitudinal axis of the aircraft is called the angle of incidence, or the angle of wing setting. A Chord Line is a line depicting the chord which extends forward of the leading edge.

Boundary Layer

On an aircraft wing the boundary layer... Continue reading "Understanding Aerodynamics and Aircraft Flight" »

vocal cords.

2 The space Between them is known as the glottis.

-wide Glottis /p/ /f/ /s/

- narrow Glottis /h/

-vocal Folds’ vibration

-tigtitly Closed ?  -when we cough

Producing sounds              air---stop the flow of air—move to Articulators—produce release

3 When they Are tightly closed they can be made to produce a glottal stop.

4 When they Are close together and air is passed between them, the resulting vibration is Called voicing or phonation.

5 Three Variables in this vibration that are relevant in speech are: intensity: high/low levels, frequency amount Vibration/regularity, quality whispering/breathy.
