Sentence examples for propulsion method from inspiring English sources
The successful flight of the plane – which has no name beyond the uninspiring "Version Two" – owes as much to the engineering prowess required to make it as thin and light as possible as it does to the propulsion method itself.
In this flow regime, rigid fixed wings drop dramatically in aerodynamic performance while flexible flapping wings gain efficacy and are the preferred propulsion method for small natural fliers.
The propulsion method was relatively simple: a massive steam-powered fan forces air into the tunnel to push the car along, and when the current is reversed, a vacuum is created, propelling the car in the other direction.
The cost of the HTS maglev vehicle will be remarkably reduced and then shorten the distance to practical application with this propulsion method.
Designing a single car platform that can be used for either propulsion method offers significant long-term manufacturing cost benefits over separate designs.
In this paper, we proposed a new type of propulsion method that is inspired by the motility mechanism of flagellated chemotactic bacteria in different pH gradients.
Other propulsion methods that have been tried in the past include ducted fans, which are quieter than normal propellers but tend to be large and cumbersome.
Knight's current research interests are in solar thermal energy and alternate propulsion methods for ground transportation.
Technology will focus towards efficient means of transport based on energy efficiency, new lightweight & stronger materials, improved aerodynamics & propulsion methods and more environmentally friendly manufacturing processes.
Interest also grew in novel propulsion methods, driven in part by the idea that conventional rocket technology was just too slow to mount even a one-way trip to our closest stellar neighbour, Alpha Centauri.
Therefore we would need to develop solar, ion, or nuclear propulsion methods that are lightweight and won't run out during the journey.
