Projection: Geographically, a method whereby the outlines of features on the surface of the world may be represented on a map.
The FAA projections of this budget indicate that piston-engine pilots will see a tax increase of $100 million, or a 344% increase. Turbine aircraft are projected to see a tax increase of $868 million, or a 333% increase.
TRACK [ICAO]- The projection on the earth's surface of the path of an aircraft, the direction of which path at any point is usually expressed in degrees from North (True, Magnetic, or Grid).

If you want to draw an accurate wind triangle, you must be careful to draw the headwind and crosswind components as projections along and across your course as is shown on the right-hand part of figure 14.3.
In 1981, Maurice Rasmussen at the University of Oklahoma started a waverider renaissance by publishing a paper on a new 3D underside shape riding the shock wave from a conical projection, ...
Side - 3D shows an orthographic projection of the three dimensional wing.
Moving shows particles flowing past the airfoil. The particles are drawn as line "traces".
PLANFORM - or plan view is a vertical orthographic projection of an object on a horizontal plane, like a map. In aviation, a planform is the shape and layout of an airplane's wing and fuselage.
A 'stub' projection protects the final approach path to the main runway outwards from the MATZ boundary, enclosing an area two nautical miles either side of the extended runway centreline and upwards from 1,000 feet above the surface to 3, ...
Thus their projection, as seen in a side view, is increased, and the effect is to add some keel surface above the center of gravity, thus raising the center of total keel surface.
One example of its usage is when long distance aviation routes are drawn on flat maps (for instance, a Mercator projection). When drawn on flat maps, the routes often look curved. This is the routes lie on great circles.
The drag coefficient is defined as the drag/(dynamic pressure * reference area). The
reference area is usually the plan-form or flat projection (the wing's shadow at noon) area of the wing.
