  2. Hill descent control system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hill_descent_control_system

    Cruise control buttons can adjust the speed on some vehicles. [2] Applying pressure to the accelerator or brake pedal will override the HDC system. Later implementations combine HDC with traction control and low-range gears and have reduced the set speed to slower than walking pace for extra control.

  3. Helicopter flight controls - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helicopter_flight_controls

    To increase or decrease overall lift requires that the controls alter the angle of attack for all blades collectively by equal amounts at the same time, resulting in ascent, descent, acceleration and deceleration. A typical helicopter has three flight control inputs: the cyclic stick, the collective lever, and the anti-torque pedals. [2]

  4. Hill-holder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hill-holder

    A hill-holder is a motor vehicle device that holds the brake until the clutch is at the friction point, making it easier for a stationary vehicle to start uphill. By holding the brake in position while the vehicle is put into gear, it prevents rollback.

  5. Flight control surfaces - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flight_control_surfaces

    A control horn is a section of control surface which projects ahead of the pivot point. It generates a force which tends to increase the surface's deflection thus reducing the control pressure experienced by the pilot. Control horns may also incorporate a counterweight which helps to balance the control and prevent it from fluttering in the ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_stability_control

    Electronic stability control (ESC), also referred to as electronic stability program (ESP) or dynamic stability control (DSC), is a computerized technology [1] [2] that improves a vehicle's stability by detecting and reducing loss of traction . [3]

    In Lowville, New York, the sheriff's department is bracing for a harsher winter season as climate change makes lake-effect snow more intense and unpredictable. Experts predict that these weather ...

  9. Variometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variometer

    When the variometer is showing a climb, the tone is often chopped and the rate of chopping may be increased as the climb rate increases, while during a descent the tone is not chopped. The vario is typically silent in still air or in lift which is weaker than the typical sink rate of the glider at minimum sink. This audio signal allows the ...
