First, Airbus imagines that its planes could take off in what it calls "eco-climb". The idea is to launch planes through "assisted take-offs using renewably powered, propelled acceleration". This allows a steeper climb out of an airport which is both quieter for folks on the ground, and enables the plane to reach altitude sooner.
Some researchers may begin to feel time would be better spent on other scientific pursuits.Many astronomers, including Dr Perlmutter, are quietly hoping that as DES and the host of other acronyms come online, they will spring another surprise, like the one that first propelled cosmic acceleration into the limelight in 1998.
Scientists infer that a mysterious and so-far-undetected force called dark energy is propelling the acceleration.
At some points the curves of the paths create a sense of acceleration, propelling you forward; at others they create intimate pockets in which to loiter.
This week it announced plans to build a "gigafactory" in America to make lithium-ion power-packs, that it hopes will propel its vehicles to the mainstream.Tesla's acceleration has been rapid.
The hybrid gets strong low-speed acceleration from the electric motors that propel it off the line and add torque at higher speeds, while the V-6 is just old-fashioned power.
He expects rebounds in housing and auto sales to help propel a broad-based recovery that will include an acceleration of job creation.
In the course of such acceleration the propelled fragment of an atom will have acquired the relativistic mass of a mosquito: the whole beam at full tilt has the momentum of an express train at full speed.
The Tesla/SpaceX vehicle, which works basically like a Hyperloop tug boat to propel some of the student pods that don't have their own built-in motor for acceleration, managed to get up to 220 mph in the sealed vacuum tunnel, which is faster than the winning student team at 201 mph.
Trap-jaw ants fire their mandibles with such accelerations that when they strike a hard surface the forces generated are strong enough to propel their bodies through the air.
In the physics of relativity, an object under constant acceleration can reach, say, ninety-five per cent of the speed of light without trouble; above ninety-nine per cent, however, the object's mass begins to approach infinity, and so does the force needed to propel it farther.
