Windage, английский
- Wind resistance of the boat.
- The vacant space left between a shot and the bore of the piece to which it belongs, generally expressed by the difference of their diameters; it is for facility of loading, but the smaller it is the better will be the performance of the gun.
- [1] generally considered to be the difference between the bore of a gun and the diameter of its projectile. more correctly it is the difference in their cross-sectional areas. in either case this leaves a gap through which gas can escape. [2] the influence of the wind in deflecting a missile. [3] the degree to which a gun sight must be adjusted to allow for such deflection. [4] a ship’s tendency to make leeway. [5] frictional resistance of a hull to airflow. [6] the area of sail presented to the wind.
