2. Air suspension - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_suspension

   Air line failure is a failure of the tubing which connects the air bags or struts to the rest of the air system, and is typically DOT-approved nylon air brake line. This usually occurs when the air lines, which must be routed to the air bags through the chassis of the vehicle, rub against a sharp edge of a chassis member or a moving suspension ...

3. Parachute - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parachute

   Overly rapid deployment was an early problem with ram-air designs. The primary innovation that slows the deployment of a ram-air canopy is the slider; a small rectangular piece of fabric with a grommet near each corner. Four collections of lines go through the grommets to the risers (risers are strips of webbing joining the harness and the ...

4. Ram air - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ram_air

   Ram air refers to the principle of using the airflow created by a moving object to increase ambient pressure, known as ram pressure. Often, the purpose of a ram air system is to increase an engine's power. The term "ram air" may also refer to: Parafoils, also called ram air parachutes, non-rigid airfoils inflated by wind

5. Hydropneumatic suspension - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydropneumatic_suspension

   The moving parts of the system, e.g., suspension strut or steering ram, are sealed by contact seals between the cylinder and piston for tightness under pressure. The other plastic/rubber parts are return tubes from valves such as the brake control or height corrector valves, also catching seeping fluid around the suspension push-rods.

   2014 Ram 3500 crew cab, 4×4, DRW. An air suspension option became available on the rear of the 2014 model year 2500 and 3500 pickups. 1500 models added the option of an EcoDiesel V6. 2500 models now feature a coil spring suspension, instead of leaf springs.

7. Airlock (parachute) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airlock_(parachute)

   It uses a ram air structure to stiffen each section of the outer edge. The design was first developed by parachute inventor Brian Germain following a near-fatal ram-air wing collapse in 1994. Germain made a full recovery and went on to personally test many of the airlock prototype parachutes, often in extreme conditions.
