The Lancia D50 was a Formula One racing car designed by Vittorio Jano for Lancia in 1954. The car's design made use of many innovative features, such as the use of the engine as a stressed chassis member, the off-centre positioning of the engine to allow a lower overall height, and pannier fuel cells for better weight distribution and aerodynamics.

A pusher aircraft is a type of aircraft using propellers placed behind the engines and may be classified according to engine/propeller location and drive as well as the lifting surfaces layout (conventional or 3 surface, canard, joined wing, tailless and rotorcraft), Some aircraft have a Push-pull configuration with both tractor and pusher engines.

Swashplates can be used in an axial engine in place of a crankshaft to translate the motion of a piston into rotary motion. Such engines are the only variation of the cam engine to have any success. Internal combustion engines and Stirling engines have been built using this mechanism. Duke Engines has been working on such a platform since 1993. [3]
The two parts would be extruded together to form the cable and ensure a well bound structure of thousands of individual graphite composite filaments. [8] The majority of patents are for Polyamide-imide engine components, with the potential for graphite, glass or titanium reinforcement as a composite. The inventions are claimed to have a ...
The TE4 was an experimental modification of a TE2, designed to run on solid fuel by using a producer gas system. The gas generator was mounted on a four-axle non-powered unit, placed between the TE2 power units, making a wheel arrangement of Bo-Bo+2-2+Bo-Bo.
The maximum axle load was reduced from 14.99 t (D50) to 14.30 t, which enabled it to operate on lighter secondary lines, previously inaccessible to the D50. Shorter Length: The D51 was 571 mm shorter than the D50 to fit on standard 60-foot (18.3 m) turntables common on branch lines, thus broadening its operational range.
The Ford Indy V8 engine is a V-8 engine, initially specially designed by Ford for Indy car racing, from 1963 onwards, winning the Indy 500 four times as Ford, plus once as Foyt in 1977. As naturally-aspirated DOHC version, it won the 1965 Indianapolis 500 as well as in 1966 and 1967.
