Bypass ratio the velocity of a very large volume and consequently mass of air produces a very large change in momentum and thrust: thrust is the engine's mass flow (the amount of air flowing through the engine) multiplied by the difference between the inlet and exhaust velocities in—a linear relationship—but the kinetic energy of the exhaust is the mass flow multiplied by one-half the square of the difference in velocities. A low disc loading (thrust per disc area) increases the aircraft's energy efficiency, and this reduces the fuel use. The Rolls–Royce Conway turbofan engine, developed in the early 1950s, was an early
Our Velocity game Our Velocity "Our Velocity" is the first single from "Our Earthly Pleasures", the second album from the band, Maxïmo Park. The single was released two weeks prior to the release of the album, on 19 March 2007. The music was written by Duncan Lloyd and the lyrics by Paul Smith of the band. The video of the song features the band being multiplied in a white room while playing the song. It was directed by Nima Nourizadeh. The song has been highly regarded and in VH1's "50 Greatest Songs of 2007 So Far" it placed at number 1. The
