Translation of "Heckflosse" in English

That locked-up tail... makes for some pretty sloppy rescue maneuvers, hey?

What used to steer the tailfin will in future be a gutter for rain.

That is rarely the airlines, whose logo is stamped on the tailfin.

In January 1955, Cessna flew an improved variant of the Cessna 170, a Continental O-300-A powered Cessna 170C with larger elevators and a more angular tailfin.

However, this tank flap device requires very considerable mounting depth (it is located in the rear fin of a large American car), since with the tank flap closed the crank-lever arrangement extends more or less vertically from the flap into the vehicle interior.

It was expensive, in fact very expensive, almost comparable with the larger small Mercedes (fin-tail), it couldn't keep up as far as the capacity went, which at that time was considered important.

Enter a Trio – Al Schwimmer, Hank Greenspun, and Charlie Winters – three men who defy the Neutrality Act and risk felony convictions by supplying the embryonic State of Israel with twenty-three former German Messerschmitt Bf 109s smuggled in from Czechoslovakia, erasing the Nazi swastikas and painting instead Jewish Stars of David on the tails.

A rudder unit 16 in the form of a tail fin extending substantially vertically upwards is provided at the rear of the helicopter body 1 .

The superstructure, propellor blades, nozzle plate and skeg were added at the Norderwerft shipyard in Hamburg. Reason for this are the shallow shipping channel between Geesthacht and Lauenburg on the river Elbe as well as the limited air draught of the bridges across the Elbe in Hamburg.

Like an ASD-tug the tugs are not able to develop the high bollard pull of tractor tugs in indirect towing mode as the high hydro-dynamic forces produced by the skeg is missing because of the missing skeg.

Here the rudderpropellers, the protective plate, and the skeg were fitted, and the final coat of paint applied.

With the help of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), the Voith ship simulator and model testing, extensive optimization work has been performed on the design to determine the optimum position of the propellers relative to the carrousel system as well as the optimum size and position of the skeg.

The 1957 Jaguar D-type with its distinctive rear fin, and the 1969 Ford GT40, which scored the closest win in history also prevail.

The tugs are tractors with two rudder propellers beneath the bow where the aft skeg has been replaced by a third rudder propeller.

Landmark models now followed thick and fast, like the incomparable SSK, the elegant and beautiful 540 K, the legendary 300 SL gull-wing model or the "tail-fin" models which took safety to new levels in the early nineteen sixties. All of them are technical milestones in a development path whose bottom line, today, has given us the safest and most comfortable cars in the world: the current S-class and its coupé version, the CL.

The small light at the rear fin was a third rear light and was for lightning the licence numbers and the sign of nationality that were painted at the hood at that time.

General: A Rotor®-tug is, simply put, a tractor tug with rudderpropellers, whose aft skeg was replaced by a third rudderpropeller.

Another thing many people find is that living away from one’s own country tends to make one think much more highly of it. Or as one former expatriate put it: “There I was sitting at the airport in Chicago, waiting for my flight to Los Angeles, and I happened to catch sight of the red, white and red tail fin of an Austrian Airlines jet outside on the taxiway.

Its grading is 214 liters, 170 liters and 110 liters. When dumping the water, the ballast tank in the tail will automatically be emptied corresponding to the water loss in the wings.

Similar styling features also characterized the passenger cars of the day, for instance the Pagoda, the tailfin sedans and the W 108 and W 109 luxury-class models which were equally launched in 1965.

The Wuppertal logo on the rear wing of Brawn GP Formula 1 team’s cars did not only create a furore among TV commentators and spectators, but also Pole Position for the team in Monaco.

Pike belong to the order salmonids and has a long, narrow body with dorsal fin placed almost all the way back at the tail fin.
