"An article on Nov. 13 about Sean Bedford, the Georgia Tech offensive lineman who is also an aerospace engineering major, misstated the terms that David Scarborough, a senior research engineer, used in teaching the jet and rocket propulsion class. The terms were 'isentropic flow,' 'stagnation states' and 'adiabatic efficiency for the diffuser' – not 'isotropic stagnation state' and 'idiomatic deficiency for diffuser.'"
