Unreferenced date January 2009 Groundspeed is the speed of an aircraft relative to the ground. Information displayed to passengers through the entertainment system often gives the aircraft groundspeed rather than airspeed. Groundspeed can be determined by the vector sum of the aircraft s true airspeed and the current wind speed and direction a headwind subtracts from the groundspeed, while a tailwind adds to it. Winds at other angles to the heading will have components of either headwind or tailwind as well as a crosswind component. An airspeed indicator can only indicate the aircraft s speed relative to the air mass. The air mass as a whole may be moving over the ground due to wind, and therefore some additional means to provide position over the ground is required. This might be through navigation using landmarks, radio aided position location, inertial navigation system , or GPS . When more advanced technology is unavailable, an E6B flight computer is often used to calculate groundspeed. Groundspeed is quite different from airspeed . When an aircraft is airborne the groundspeed does not determine when the aircraft will stall, and it doesn t influence the actual aircraft performance such as rate of climb.

File Circuit explaining ground bounce.svg thumb Circuit explaining ground bounce In electronic engineering , ground bounce is a phenomenon associated with transistor switching where the gate voltage can appear to be less than the local ground potential , causing the unstable operation of a logic gate . Description Ground bounce is usually seen on high density VLSI where insufficient precautions have been taken to supply a logic gate with a sufficiently low resistance connection or sufficiently high capacitance to ground. In this phenomenon, when the gate is turned on, enough current flows through the emitter collector circuit that the silicon in the immediate vicinity of the emitter is pulled high, sometimes by several volts, thus raising the local ground, as perceived by the transistor, to a value significantly above true ground. Relative to this local ground, the BASE voltage can go negative, thus shutting off the transistor. As the excess local charge dissipates, the transistor turns back on, possibly causing a repeat of the phenomenon, sometimes up to a half dozen bounces. Ground bounce is one of the leading causes of hung or metastable gate s in modern digital circuit design. This happens because the ground bounce puts the input of a flip flop effectively at voltage level that is neither ... 41 06 ground bounce.pdf Reducing Ground Bounce , 2007 , Analog Devices Vikas Kumar, http www.eetimes.com electronics news 4196917 Ground Bounce Primer Ground Bounce Primer , 2005 , TechOnLine now EETimes . http www.pericom.com pdf applications AN005.pdf Ground Bounce in 8 Bit High Speed Logic , Pericom. http www.fairchildsemi.com an AN AN 640.pdf AN 640 Understanding and Minimizing Ground Bounce , 2003 ...

Ground resonance is a hazardous condition that can occur any time the helicopter rotor rotor of a helicopter or autogyro is turning while the aircraft is on the ground. Similar in concept to the behavior of a washing machine when the clothes are concentrated at one point during the spin cycle , ground resonance can occur with a rotorcraft when the spacing between blades becomes irregular or the damping system, including drag hinge dampers, landing gear oleo strut s, or wheel tire pressure, is operating out of limits. Ground resonance occurs at three rotor revolutions per minute RPM bands, the first at about one third of normal rotor speed, the second at a range including normal rotor speed, and the last in a range above normal rotor speed. Ground resonance is precipitated by a shock mechanics shock to the aircraft arising from excessive motion of a rotor blade in its plane of rotation thereby moving the rotor center of gravity from the axis of rotation . Inadequate damping allows the rotor center of gravity to spiral away from the rotor axis of rotation, causing the rotor to generate unbalanced rotating moment s beyond the compensating ability of the damping system. In addition to damping system malfunctions mentioned above, such blade movement can occur as a result of taxiing over rough ground with the rotor turning at a speed within a susceptible range, or takeoff landing in which a shock occurs to one side of the landing gear. Under extreme conditions, the initial shock can cause violent oscillations that quickly build and result in catastrophic damage of the entire airframe ... away, even at normal rotor speed.
