- the influence of the wind in deflecting a missile.
- the amount of such deflection.
- the degree to which a gunsight must be adjusted to correct for windage.
- a difference between the diameter of a projectile and that of the gun bore, for the escape of gas and the prevention of friction.
- that portion of a vessel's surface upon which the wind acts.
- friction between a rotor and the air within its casing, as in an electric generator.
- the resisting influence of air against the rotating armature of a dynamo, creating a power loss.
- a deflection of a projectile as a result of the effect of the wind
- the degree of such deflection
- the extent to which it is necessary to adjust the wind gauge of a gun sight in order to compensate for such deflection
- the difference between a firearm's bore and the diameter of its projectile
- the exposed part of the hull of a vessel responsible for wind resistance
- the retarding force upon a rotating machine resulting from the drag of the air
