hypertension<br />

bands, dividing each colour into a separate channel to give<br />

a unique signature of absorption and emission.<br />

hypertension High blood pressure.<br />

hyperventilation Overbreathing; specif. reduced CO 2<br />

causing * syndrome, dizziness, fainting, convulsions.<br />

hypobaric Having atmospheric pressure much less than<br />

normal at sea level.<br />

hypocapnia CO 2 deficiency in blood.<br />

hypoid Bevel or helical gears transmitting power with<br />

some tooth-sliding action between shafts neither parallel<br />

not intersecting.<br />

hypoventilation Underbreathing.<br />

hypoxaemia Condition resulting from hypoxia.<br />

hypoxia O 2 deficiency in blood, from whatever cause.<br />

hypsometric tints Colour gradations chosen for contrast<br />

by natural or artificial illumination (eg. for contour bands<br />

on topographic map).<br />

HYR Higher.<br />

Hyrat Hydraulic (pump driven by) ram-air turbine.<br />

HySET Hydrocarbon-fuel scramjet engine technology.<br />

H Y SID Hypersonic systems integrated demonstrator.<br />

hysteresis 1 Generally, condition exhibited by system<br />

whose state results from previous history, specif. one<br />

whose instantaneous values lag behind prediction.<br />

2 In ferromagnetic and some other materials, lagging of<br />

magnetic flux density T behind magnetic field strength<br />

A/m causing it (see * loop).<br />

HZS<br />

3 Effects caused by internal friction in elastic material<br />

undergoing varying (esp. rapidly oscillating) stress.<br />

4 Lag in instrument indication; eg that of barometric<br />

altimeter in dive or climb.<br />

hysteresis loop Plot of magnetising field strength against<br />

magnetic flux density for ferromagnetic material;<br />

traditionally called B/H curve because flux density was<br />

called induction, symbol B, measured in gauss, and field<br />

strength (formerly in oersteds) was identified by symbol<br />

H; today’s units are (field strength) A/m and (flux<br />

density) T.<br />

HYT High year of tenure (waiver programme).<br />

Hytech Hypersonic technology.<br />

Hythe Ciné camera mounted on Scarff ring or similar<br />

base for gunnery instruction; full name * camera gun.<br />

Hytral Noise-absorbent panels of sandwich construction.<br />

Hyways Hybrids with advanced yield for surveillance.<br />

HZ Haze (ICAO).<br />

Hz Hertz, SI unit of frequency, = cycles per second.<br />

HZ Anlage System of using a piston-engine solely to<br />

drive supercharger feeding propulsion engines [G, WW2].<br />

H o , H zero Distance from leading edge of AMC(1) to<br />

aerodynamic centre.<br />

HZS Hrvatski Zrakoplovni Savez, [aeronautical sport<br />

federation, Zagreb 10–000] (Croatia).<br />
