Citations missing article date May 2009 A T aerial is an antenna radio used for VLF, LF, MF and shortwave transmission or reception. It consists of a horizontal wire suspended between and insulated from two radio masts and towers radio masts or towers . A vertical wire is connected to the middle of the horizontal wire and hangs down close to the ground, where it is connected to the transmitter or receiver. The two wires form a T shape, hence the name. Sometimes a group of parallel wires, known as a cage, is used instead of a single wire. This reduces the Q factor of the antenna and broadens the bandwidth over which it will provide good impedance matching .

Unreferenced date March 2008 Cleanup rewrite date May 2009 Aerial Observer Air Force Reconnaissance . An Aerial Observer is the functional position of gathering information visually from an airborne platform for use by military or commercial purposes. This history started when the first balloons were flown in Europe. In the early twentieth century it developed with the invention of biplanes and mono winged aircraft. During World War I and II there was a tremendous amount of intelligence gathered through these means. These crewmembers would use optical and photographic means to record their observations. In the Vietnam War , aerial observers also might be Forward Air Controller s FACs . These O 1 Bird Dog , O 2 Skymaster and OV 10 Bronco pilots would slowly fly over an area and direct bombing by radio to fast moving jet aircraft. Observer is the Royal Navy s term for its Fleet Air Arm navigator radar weapons system operators, both in two seat fixed wing combat aircraft such as the Sea Vixen and F 4 Phantom II F4K Phantom and anti submarine helicopters such as the Westland Lynx . The US Navy s equivalent is the radar intercept officer RIO . Although today sometimes a manned aircraft is still utilized, industry and the military use both satellites and remotely piloted vehicles RPV for this function.

Aerial seeding is a technique of sowing seed s by spraying them through aerial mechanical means such as an aircraft . The technique is one of the several broadcast seeding techniques. This technique is usually used to grow grass es, legume s or other suitable cover crop soil binding plants . The process is applied to increase vegetation vegetative cover over barren lands like canyon ravines or burnt sites, where large geographical area is involved. The purpose of the technique is soil conservation by reducing soil erosion in extremely large area within lesser period. It is typically used where soil erosion hazards are high and native plant seed bank is destroyed by temperature or washed away by water resulting into complete Soils retrogression and degradation denudation of top soil. This is the most effective technique for geographically inaccessible areas. Seed is dropped from fixed wing aircraft or helicopter directly on the soil from a reasonable altitude.

unreferenced date April 2011 An aerial cartwheel is an acrobatic move in which a Cartwheel gymnastics cartwheel is executed without touching hands to the floor. During execution of a standard cartwheel, the performer s body is supported by the hands while transitioning through the inverted orientation, whereas an aerial cartwheel performer is airborne while inverted. To compensate for lack of support from the hands, leg momentum is employed to keep the performer airborne until the leading foot touches down. Aerial cartwheels can be executed while running or from a stationary, standing position. Aerial cartwheels are also known by various other names, including side flip , side aerials , no hands cartwheels , or simply aerials .

The field is of critical importance, and a thorough grasp of the principles of rigging is essential. Aerial rigging is commonly practiced to different degrees by specialty fabricators, professional riggers, professional Acrobatics aerial artists , and amateur aerial artists. Most aerial circus equipment is built by a few fabricators around the world that build equipment specifically for the circus industry. Aerial artists, both professional and amateur, often become riggers out of necessity. They generally learn to rig what they need.

Image FrontAerial.gif right frame A front aerial , performed as part of an acro dance routine A front aerial is an acrobatic move in which a person executes a complete forward revolution of the body without touching the floor. ref name Murrayp49 Front aerials are performed in various physical activities, including acro dance and gymnastics . The front aerial is known by other names, including aerial walkover and front aerial walkover . Technical The front aerial differs from a flip acrobatic front tuck in that the body assumes a form similar to that of a front walkover , with legs extended and split gymnastics split along the plane of rotation, whereas in a front tuck the knees are bent and held against the chest i.e., tucked so as to maximize rotational velocity . To compensate for lack of support from the floor, as well as the decreased rotational velocity that results from extended versus tucked legs, a front aerial performer uses the inertia of the legs to keep the body aloft until the move is completed. A front aerial can be executed either from a run or from a stationary, standing position. When starting from a standing position, a forward step is typically taken prior to the front aerial in order to develop forward momentum . In either case, at the beginning of a front aerial the performer s forward momentum is converted to the angular momentum needed for execution of the front aerial. Performance requirements Front aerials require a great degree of lower back flexibility anatomy flexibility . ref name Murrayp49 From the moment a front aerial performer leaves the floor until touching down again, the torso must remain in a stationary, inverted orientation while the lower body rotates about the torso. Adequate muscle strength is also required to execute a front aerial ... the performer aloft while the lower body completes its rotation about the torso.
