Graphical representation of the dimensions used to describe a ship. Dimension "b" is the beam at waterline.. The beam of a ship is its width at its widest point. The maximum beam (B MAX) is the distance between planes passing through the outer sides of the ship, beam of the hull (B H) only includes permanently fixed parts of the hull, and beam at waterline (B WL) is the maximum width where the ...
Beam – A measure of the width of the ship. There are two types: Beam, Overall (BOA), commonly referred to simply as Beam – The overall width of the ship measured at the widest point of the nominal waterline. Beam on Centerline (BOC) – Used for multihull vessels. The BOC for vessels is measured as follows: For a catamaran: the ...
abaft the beam Farther aft than the beam ; a relative bearing of greater than 90 degrees from the bow ; e.g. "two points abaft the beam, starboard side" would describe "an object lying 22.5 degrees toward the rear of the ship, as measured clockwise from a perpendicular line from the right side, center, of the ship, toward the horizon".
Localizer as component of an ILS (KMEZ runway 27, Mena, Arkansas) Emission patterns of the localizer and glide path signals. An instrument landing system localizer, or simply localizer (LOC, [1] or LLZ prior to 2007 [2]), is a system of horizontal guidance in the instrument landing system, which is used to guide aircraft along the axis of the runway.
Center line, a road surface marking; Center line, a taxiway marking; Center line, a runway marking; CenterLine (OCTA), failed light-rail project in Orange County, California, U.S. Centerline (nautical), the dividing line between port and starboard sides of a ship or boat; Centreline, a bus service in Manchester, England, later rebranded ...
The sum signal corresponds with the antenna beam along center-line of the antenna. The delta signals are pairs of beams that are adjacent to the center-line of the sum antenna beam. The delta beam measurements produce plus or minus values depending upon the quadrant.
In axles, the term refers to the type of suspension used on a multi-axle configurations. It is a "short axle pivoted at or near its mid-point about a horizontal axis transverse to its own centerline, normally used in pairs in conjunction with a walking beam in order to achieve two axis of oscillation."
Their beam increased to 28.03 meters (92 ft 0 in) [15] and their draft at deep load increased to 10.3 meters (33 ft 10 in). [16] The changes made during their reconstruction increased their displacement to 28,882 long tons (29,345 t) for Andrea Doria and 29,391 long tons (29,863 t) for Duilio at deep load. [11]
