(2):
(n.) To behold; to look at.
(3):
(n.) Appearance to the eye or the mind; look; view.
(4):

(6):

(7):
(n.) A view of a plane from a given direction, usually from above; more exactly, the manner of presentation of a plane to a fluid through which it is moving or to a current. If an immersed plane meets a current of fluid long side foremost, or in broadside aspect, it sustains more pressure than when placed short side foremost. Hence, long narrow wings are more effective than short broad ones of the same area.
