Modern aircraft generate power in the main engines or an additional fuel-burning turbine engine called an auxiliary power unit, which is often mounted in the rear of the fuselage or in the main-wheel well.

Modern production seaplanes are typically light aircraft, amphibious, and of a floatplane design.

Modern conflicts and a growing emphasis on precision-guided weapons have pointed to the need for autonomous designation, and many fighter-bomber aircraft are now being fitted with designator pods to self-designate for laser-guided munitions.

Modern aircraft employing glass cockpit instrument systems employ two airspeed indicators: an electronic indicator on the primary flight data panel and a traditional mechanical instrument for use if the electronic panels fail.

Modern missiles use “ low-smoke ” motors — early missiles produced thick smoke trails, which were easily seen by the crew of the target aircraft alerting them to the attack and helping them determine how to evade it.

Modern autopilots use computer software to control the aircraft.

Modern stealth aircraft first became possible when Denys Overholser, a mathematician working for Lockheed Aircraft during the 1970s, adopted a mathematical model developed by Petr Ufimtsev, a Russian scientist, to develop a computer program called Echo 1.

Modern aircraft tend to rely on missiles, radar, or laser-guided sights to track the enemy, thereby making the use of tracers inessential.

Modern aircraft such as the Boeing 737 Next Generation, 777, 717, 747-400ER, 767-400ER, 747-8, and 787, Airbus A320 family ( later versions ), A330 ( later versions ), A340-500 / 600, A340-300 ( later versions ), A380 and A350 are fitted with glass cockpits consisting of LCD units.

Modern aircraft equipped with high-bypass turbofan engines are able to comply with contemporary aviation noise abatement laws and ICAO regulations.

Modern aircraft with two engines flying transatlantic have to be ETOPS certified.

Modern turbo-prop trainers can replicate the handling characteristics of jet aircraft as well as having sufficient performance to assess a candidate's technical ability at an aircraft controls, reaction speed and ability to anticipate events.

Modern automobiles have complex instrumentation.

Modern airliner instrumentation may also measure angle of attack, although this information may not be directly displayed on the pilot's display, instead driving a stall warning indicator or giving performance information to the flight computer ( for fly by wire systems ).

Modern klezmer instrumentation is more commonly influenced by the instruments of the 19th century military bands than the earlier orchestras. The orchestration employed by Joel Rubin — one of the most experienced and knowledgeable contemporary klezmer musicians — represents a historically justified link with that of contemporary ethnic music ensembles of Romania and Hungary.

Modern instrumentation includes a variety of improvised drums made from containers of all kinds, plastic plumbing, bells, tanbou débonda, chacha, tibwa and bel-air drums.

Modern instrumentation can calculate the true wind velocity when the apparent wind and boat velocity are input.

Modern scientists use electronic instrumentation, such as mass spectrometers, to determine both the masses and the abundances of an element's isotopes.

Modern warfare was born in this campaign -- periscopes, camouflage, booby traps, land mines, extended order, trench raids, foxholes, armored cars, night attacks, flares, sharpshooters in trees, interlaced vines and treetops, which were the forerunners of barbed wire, trip wires to thwart a cavalry charge, which presaged the mine trap, and the general use of anesthetics.

Modern use of AAC began in the 1950s with systems for users who had lost the use of speech following surgical procedures.

Modern textbooks that do not use the language of schemes:

Modern genetics has made clear that the lack of use does not, in itself, necessitate a feature's disappearance.

Modern barter and trade has evolved considerably to become an effective method of increasing sales, conserving cash, moving inventory, and making use of excess production capacity for businesses around the world.

Modern returning boomerangs can be of various shapes or sizes as can be seen in a photo in the Modern use section.

Modern use of similar terms includes genetic engineering as well as cell and tissue culture technologies.

Modern biotechnology is often associated with the use of genetically altered microorganisms such as E. coli or yeast for the production of substances like synthetic insulin or antibiotics.

Modern imaging systems like PostScript, Asymptote, Metafont, and SVG use Bézier splines composed of cubic Bézier curves for drawing curved shapes.

Modern concrete wall systems use both external insulation and thermal mass to create an energy-efficient building.

Modern theoretical studies involve the use of numerical computation of electronic structure and mathematical tools to understand phenomena such as high-temperature superconductivity, topological phases and gauge symmetries.

Modern historians sometimes call him " Robert the Consul ", for that reason, though he himself and his contemporaries did not use that name.

Modern military camouflage makes use of # Disruptive patterning | disruptively patterned equipment, face paint and natural materials

Modern clutches typically use a compound organic resin with copper wire facing or a ceramic material.

Modern VLSI processors instead use matrices of field effect transistors to build the ROM and / or PLA structures used to control the processor as well as its internal sequencer in a microcoded implementation.

Modern carbines use ammunition ranging from that used in light pistols up to powerful rifle cartridges, with the usual exception of high velocity magnum cartridges.

Modern computer buses can use both parallel and bit serial connections, and can be wired in either a multidrop ( electrical parallel ) or daisy chain topology, or connected by switched hubs, as in the case of USB.

Modern vacuum tubes use thermionic emission, in which the cathode is made of a thin wire filament which is heated by a separate electric current passing through it.

Modern crossbow sights often use similar technology to modern firearm sights, such red dot sights and telescopic sights.

The 12 year cycle, including Turkish / Mongolian translations of the animal names ( known as sanawat-e turki سنوات ترکی ,) remained in use for chronology, historiography, and bureaucratic purposes in the Persian and Turkish speaking world from Asia Minor to India and Mongolia throughout the Medieval and Early Modern periods.

Modern methods include the use of lossless data compression for incremental parsing, prediction suffix tree and string searching by factor oracle algorithm ( basically a factor oracle is a finite state automaton constructed in linear time and space in an incremental fashion ).

The massive use of charcoal on an industrial scale in Early Modern Europe was a new type of consumption of western forests ; even in Stuart England, the relatively primitive production of charcoal has already reached an impressive level.
