  2. Cantilever - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cantilever

    The cantilever is commonly used in the wings of fixed-wing aircraft. Early aircraft had light structures which were braced with wires and struts. However, these introduced aerodynamic drag which limited performance. While it is heavier, the cantilever avoids this issue and allows the plane to fly faster.

    The diamond-shaped, electric-rod pantograph of the Swiss cogwheel locomotive of the Schynige Platte railway in Schynige Platte, built in 1911 Cross-arm pantograph of a Toshiba EMU. A pantograph (or "pan" or "panto") is an apparatus mounted on the roof of an electric train, tram or electric bus [1] to collect power through contact with an ...

  4. Wheel arrangement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheel_arrangement

    Especially in steam days, wheel arrangement was an important attribute of a locomotive because there were many different types of layout adopted, each wheel being optimised for a different use (often with only some being actually "driven"). Modern diesel and electric locomotives are much more uniform, usually with all axles driven.

  6. Cantilever bridge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cantilever_bridge

    A cantilever bridge is a bridge built using structures that project horizontally into space, supported on only one end (called cantilevers).For small footbridges, the cantilevers may be simple beams; however, large cantilever bridges designed to handle road or rail traffic use trusses built from structural steel, or box girders built from prestressed concrete.

  7. Monorail - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monorail

    It was cheap to construct but tricky to operate. Possibly the first monorail locomotive was a 0-3-0 steam locomotive on this line. A high-speed monorail using the Lartigue system was proposed in 1901 between Liverpool and Manchester. [17] The Boynton Bicycle Railroad was a steam-powered monorail in Brooklyn on Long Island, New York. It ran on a ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pennsylvania_Railroad_class_S2

    The Pennsylvania Railroad's S2 class was a steam turbine locomotive designed and built in a collaborative effort by Baldwin Locomotive Works and Westinghouse Electric & Manufacturing Company, as an attempt to prolong the dominance of the steam locomotive by adapting technology that had been widely accepted in the marine industry. One was built ...
