  2. Tandem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tandem

    Tandem can also be used more generally to refer to any group of persons or objects working together, not necessarily in line. [1] The English word tandem derives from the Latin adverb tandem, meaning at length or finally. [2] It is a word play, using the Latin phrase (referring to time, not position) for English "at length, lengthwise". [3]

  3. Multistage rocket - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multistage_rocket

    In serial or tandem staging schemes, the first stage is at the bottom and is usually the largest, the second stage and subsequent upper stages are above it, usually decreasing in size. In parallel staging schemes solid or liquid rocket boosters are used to assist with launch. These are sometimes referred to as "stage 0".

  4. Parallel (geometry) - Wikipedia

    parallel, if they do not intersect in the plane, but converge to a common limit point at infinity (ideal point), or; ultra parallel, if they do not have a common limit point at infinity. [17] In the literature ultra parallel geodesics are often called non-intersecting. Geodesics intersecting at infinity are called limiting parallel.

  5. Tandem-rotor aircraft - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tandem-rotor_aircraft

    Tandem-rotor helicopters, however, use counter-rotating rotors, with each cancelling out the other's torque. Therefore, all of the power from the engines can be used for lift, whereas a single-rotor helicopter uses some of the engine power to counter the torque. [1] An alternative is to mount two rotors in a coaxial configuration.

    A straight-twin engine, also known as an inline-twin, vertical-twin, inline-2, or parallel-twin, is a two-cylinder piston engine whose cylinders are arranged in a line along a common crankshaft. Straight-twin engines are primarily used in motorcycles; other uses include automobiles, marine vessels, snowmobiles, jet skis , all-terrain vehicles ...

  9. Parallel transport - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_transport

    In differential geometry, parallel transport (or parallel translation [a]) is a way of transporting geometrical data along smooth curves in a manifold. If the manifold is equipped with an affine connection (a covariant derivative or connection on the tangent bundle ), then this connection allows one to transport vectors of the manifold along ...
