Lift-to-drag ratio - In aerodynamics, the lift-to-drag ratio, or L/D ratio ("ell-over-dee", as opposed to "ell-dee"), is the amount of lift generated by a wing, compared to the drag it creates by moving through the air. A "better" L/D ratio is one of the major goals in wing design, since a particular aircraft's needed lift doesn't change, delivering that ...
Platter lift - A platter lift, or just platter, is a mechanised system for pulling skiers uphill. In Europe the lift is known as button lift or Poma lift (after the company who first made them, although they now make a wide range of other lifts).
