  4. Weight distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weight_distribution

    Typically, it is written in the form x/y, where x is the percentage of weight in the front, and y is the percentage in the back. In a vehicle which relies on gravity in some way, weight distribution directly affects a variety of vehicle characteristics, including handling , acceleration , traction , and component life.

    The less you say, the more weight each word carries. In a minimalist design, a user might just state the one or a handful of things they wish to emphasize. Or simply provide links to elsewhere, relying on subpages to elaborate—this may make a crisp and clean first impression. One such design is the "hub" style userpage: like the one by AxG.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EMD_E-unit

    The EMD F-units followed the basic B-B truck design of the TA model, but with a V-16 EMD 567 prime mover generating 1350 hp as introduced in 1939. E-units standardized the two engine configuration for passenger locomotives to maximize power and, while the less-reliable Winton Diesel prime movers were in use, faced a less severe loss of power ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kit-of-parts

    Kit-of-parts philosophy goes hand in hand with advanced manufacturing, automation, and computer and information technologies. Handling multiple identical components as instances of a master element is an efficient use of the computer in the planning stage, and use of standard components can take advantage of mass-production and mass ...

  9. Leading-edge slat - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leading-edge_slat

    The original designs were in the form of a fixed slot near the leading edge of the wing, a design that was used on a number of STOL aircraft. During World War II, German aircraft commonly fitted a more advanced version of the slat that reduced drag by being pushed back flush against the leading edge of the wing by air pressure , popping out ...
