2. Cantilever - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cantilever

   A cantilever is a rigid structural element that extends horizontally and is unsupported at one end. Typically it extends from a flat vertical surface such as a wall, to which it must be firmly attached. Like other structural elements, a cantilever can be formed as a beam, plate, truss, or slab.

3. Bicycle brake - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicycle_brake

   Animation of a single pivot side-pull caliper brake for the rear wheel of a steel framed road bike. A bicycle brake reduces the speed of a bicycle or prevents the wheels from moving. The two main types are: rim brakes and disc brakes. Drum brakes are less common on bicycles. Most bicycle brake systems consist of three main components: a ...

4. Monoplane - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monoplane

   Monoplane. A monoplane is a fixed-wing aircraft configuration with a single mainplane, in contrast to a biplane or other types of multiplanes, which have multiple planes. A monoplane has inherently the highest efficiency and lowest drag of any wing configuration and is the simplest to build. However, during the early years of flight, these ...

5. Wing configuration - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wing_configuration

   The wing configuration of a fixed-wing aircraft (including both gliders and powered aeroplanes) is its arrangement of lifting and related surfaces. Aircraft designs are often classified by their wing configuration. For example, the Supermarine Spitfire is a conventional low wing cantilever monoplane of straight elliptical planform with moderate ...

6. Snap-fit - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snap-fit

   Snap-fit. A snap-fit is an assembly method used to attach flexible parts, usually plastic, to form the final product by pushing the parts' interlocking components together. [1] There are a number of variations in snap-fits, including cantilever, torsional and annular. Snap-fits, as integral attachment features, are an alternative to assembly ...

7. List of longest cantilever bridge spans - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_longest_cantilever...

   This list of cantilever bridges ranks the world's cantilever bridges by the length of their main span. A cantilever bridge is a bridge built using cantilevers: structures that project horizontally into space, supported on only one end.
