How can the CarterCopter fly so fast and efficiently? Shouldn't the rotor slow it down?

CarterCopter FAQ on CarterAviationTechnologies.com
The CarterCopter is a hybrid between an airplane and a rotorcraft. A rotor is a very efficient device for providing lift at low speeds, but its drag increases rapidly as the aircraft goes faster if it must continue to support the aircraft. In the CarterCopter, as the aircraft speeds up and the wings begin producing more of the lift, the rotor produces less lift and can slow down given the correct control input.

Will I be 'too slow' or 'too fast'?

LoT - FAQ
Speed is not necessarily an issue. Of course an overly slow driver can cause a nuisance, which is why we select sessions partly on the grounds of peoples prior experience, type of vehicle and where they will feel most comfortable. If sessions are clearly not working out: we change them. We strive to provide a comfortable situation for newcomers and experience drivers alike. Any driver not being "considerate" to others will be removed from the track immediately.

My new Seamaster Pro automatic is running a few seconds fast/slow; what should I do?

TimeZone Omega Forum FAQ
Relax. Like most mechanical devices, a new watch has a break-in period that lasts for about a month or so. During this time, your watch is distributing the oil around, and is breaking in its gears. Its accuracy will vary by a few seconds during this time, but it will eventually settle down. The C.O.S.C. standard is +6/-4 seconds a day. If it's running way over that, return your watch. There are a number of TZ Classic Articles on C.O.S.C.

Is there anything I can do to make my watch run a few seconds fast/slow each day?

Rolex Frequently Asked Questions... QualityTyme.net

On the other hand, by leaving the watch's dial (or face) down can cause it to lose (or run slow) upto a few seconds per day.

During fall migration migrating Monarchs have been seen flying by tall buildings such as the Empire State Building at 1,000+ ft. Butterflies are picked up by storm fronts and moved 100's of miles, probably at altitudes of several thousand feet.

What is the difference between slow and fast searching?

Swatbooks FAQ
Prices on marketplace sites like Half.com fluctuate too much to keep a reliable database on our server. So, to list certain prices, a program on our server has to look up those prices, which takes some time. Fast searching displays only those prices which we can store in our database, so it takes much less time.

What is RESPONSE (FAST, SLOW)?

Noise Dosimeter-Quest Technologies Decible Noise Dose Meters...
The response determines how quickly the unit responds to fluctuating noise. Fast is a time constant of 125 milliseconds. Slow is a time constant of 1 second. Example: Typically, noise is not constant. If you were to try to read the sound level without a response time, the readings would fluctuate so much that determining the actual level would be extremely difficult. Using a response of slow or fast simply smoothes the noise fluctuation and makes the sound level easier to work with.

What if these tracks are too fast or too slow for me?

FAQs
These works are recorded at tempos that I consider a suitable compromise for most performers. Many of the works in the catalogue I have played before in concert so I know how they should sound, and for those works I haven't previously played I have listened to different CD recordings in order to ascertain a satisfactory tempo for my tracks. For many of the more difficult works, I provide slower practice versions that are provided free with the full speed track.
