2. Brake fade - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake_fade

   Brake fade and rotor warping can be reduced through proper braking technique; when running down a long downgrade that would require braking simply select a lower gear (this is required for many trucks on steep grades in the U.S.). Also, periodic, rather than continuous application of the brakes will allow them to cool between applications.

3. Contra-rotating - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contra-rotating

   A Mark 46 Mod 5A torpedo is inspected aboard a destroyer in April 2005. Contra-rotating propellers have benefits when providing thrust for boats for the same reasons. ABB provided an azimuth thruster for ShinNihonkai Ferries in form of the CRP Azipod, [1] claiming efficiency gains from the propeller (about 10% increase [2]) and a simpler hull design.

4. DC injection braking - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DC_injection_braking

   Large rotors and loads with a high moment of inertia may take a significant amount of time to stop through internal friction alone. To reduce downtime, or possibly as an emergency safety feature, DC injection braking can be used to quickly stop the rotor. A DC injection brake system can be used as an alternative or addition to a friction brake ...

5. Tandem-rotor aircraft - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tandem-rotor_aircraft

   The two rotors are linked by a transmission that ensures the rotors are synchronized and do not hit each other, even during an engine failure. [ 2 ] Tandem-rotor designs achieve yaw by applying opposite left and right cyclic to each rotor, effectively pulling both ends of the helicopter in opposite directions.

6. Dodge Neon SRT-4 - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dodge_Neon_SRT-4

   Front brakes used 11.0 in (280 mm) vented disc brakes with extra thick rotors to prevent warping, and 10.6 in (270 mm) non-vented disc brakes in the rear, with single piston calipers (57mm front, 36mm rear). 17 x 6 inch cast aluminum wheels were used, with an offset of 43mm, along with 205/50/17 Michelin Pilot Sport performance tires. The ...
