Jets Definition and 86 Threads

The Winnipeg Jets are a professional ice hockey team based in Winnipeg. They compete in the National Hockey League (NHL) as a member of the North Division. The team is owned by True North Sports & Entertainment and plays its home games at Canada Life Centre.
The Jets were established as the Atlanta Thrashers on June 25, 1997, and became the League's 28th franchise when they began play in the 1999–2000 NHL season. True North Sports & Entertainment then bought the team in May 2011 and relocated the franchise from Atlanta to Winnipeg prior to the 2011–12 season (the first NHL franchise to relocate since the Hartford Whalers became the Carolina Hurricanes in 1997). The team was renamed the Jets after Winnipeg's original WHA/NHL team, which relocated after the 1995–96 season to become the Phoenix Coyotes.

    How Much Vertical Acceleration Does a Jet Need to Avoid a Hill?

    The answer should be 10 m/s^2 but I don't know how to solve it

    Why does this refueling pod on Navy fighter jets have a propeller?

    I was watching some videos of aircraft carrier cat shots of fighter jets today (don't ask), and was surprised to see in a slow-motion closeup shot that one of the underwing pods on an FA-18 had a propeller spinning on its nose. That seemed pretty strange to me, so I did some Google searching...

    I Formation of jets with accretion disks at black holes

    Dear all, I'm going to give a course about black holes at an astrophysics association. The public will consist mainly of lay persons, perhaps wit a little bit of physics background. My background in General Relativity is good, but my background in astrophysics at bit less. My question is if you...

    Wait, what? Whose fighter jets are those?

    Those don't look like US fighter jets that I'm familiar with (but I could be wrong). Who is launching these US hypersonic missle tests? https://www.cnn.com/2022/07/13/politics/us-hypersonic-tests/index.html

    Can Flame Jets Effectively Constrain Plasma in Fusion Reactors?

    I have a idea for a plasma based fusion reactor. Using a combusting hydrogen/other reactant generate a flame jet to actively confine the plasma and possibly using a helium compressed jet stream as well to bring down turbulence. My friend already says these will destroy the plasma but I am am...

    I What powers the quasar magnetic beams that power jets?

    I am reading up on quasars because I am interested in the magnetic beams that emanate from their poles, accelerating material. I read that the magnetic beams are generated by the orbiting debris the quasar is consuming. Sorry, that doesn't sound right to me. I assumed the black hole core is...

    Boeing Debris found in fuel tanks of 70% of inspected 737 Max jets

    Yes, that 737 Max. News. It's unclear if these airplanes were supposed to be delivered to customers already if the 737 Max wouldn't be grounded for other reasons, but foreign objects in more than half of the inspected planes is certainly nothing customers want to see. There are 350 more aircraft...

    I have a question about this picture: It shows matter traveling at relativistic velocities away from a black hole: "Figure 5.21: This VLA image of the radio-loud quasar 3C 175 shows the core, an apparently one-sided jet, and two radio lobes with hot spots of comparable flux densities. The jet...

    MHB Quadratic application question what was the jets speed from Bangkok to Tokyo

If the difference in the times of the flights was 2 hours, what was the jets speed from Bangkok to Tokyo? Just need the...

    Air resistance that affects jets and people

    I wanted to ask. Since jets fly at great speed, often even supersonic, I'm curious about next things: 1) What is the relation between air resistance force and energy? 2) How does all that force resistance affect a pilot? 3) What protection do they have, if any? 4) And purely speculative...

    Is it possible for electric flight packs to exist like jets?

    In wingless flight packs, is it possible to replace jet / fuel engines with electric motors that fly in a similar way to jetpacks? Can electric motors also produce thrust required to lift a person upwards, enabling them to fly? If so, how would they work?

    Can someone explain the theory of impact of jets?

    So I did this lab on momentum on jets and the theory is that "a force is applied on the plate due to change of momentum" the jet both impacted on a flat plate and on a hemispherical plate; now i understand that the greater the angle of deflection of the water jet, the greater the change of...

    A How reliable are MC simulations when it comes to jets?

    I have been reading in papers here and there, that di/multi-jet MC generated or even other process that have one or more associated jets are used for tag-and-probing or for training several BDTs and so on. Some experiticians (theoreticians who produce experiments) are also relying on how well...

    A How Much Mass Is Ejected in Polar Jets?

    I would like a discussion to quantify just how much mass is ejected at the poles (including the mass equivalence of the photons) when jets form.

    I What Causes Jets to Entrain Mass?

    I have done a research on google but still i can't find a reason why air is entrained in jets. An example of a jet is the fuel jet in a combustion chamber of a diesel engine. I suspect it has to do with the conservation of mass principle. Thank you in advance.

    Mass/Energy of Relativistic Jets?

    How Are Heavy Nuclei Produced in Black Hole Jets?
