Wind tunnels were key in the development and validation of the laws of aerodynamics. In 1889, Charles Renard, a French aeronautical engineer, became the first person to reasonably predict the power needed for sustained flight.

Subsequent use of wind tunnels proliferated as the science of aerodynamics and discipline of aeronautical engineering were established and air travel and power were developed.

Compared to the much more common upright bicycle, the recumbent bicycle may be faster on level ground or down hills due to better aerodynamics while having similar power transfer efficiency.

In recent years however, rule changes in both GT500 and GT1 ( aimed at eventually allowing both classes to compete with each other in the future ) have brought the cars closer to each other, although GT500 cars still have a notable advantage in terms of aerodynamics and cornering performance ( enough to compensate for GT1 cars greater power ).

* 1903: A Norwegian, Ægidius Elling, was able to build the first gas turbine that was able to produce more power than needed to run its own components, which was considered an achievement in a time when knowledge about aerodynamics was limited.

Although the 1. 7 litre version was launched with the same 60 PS power output as the outgoing model, the new model was a full 10 km / h ( 6 mph ) faster, which was attributed to improved aerodynamics and a lighter bodyshell.

However, in aerodynamics experiments with other insects he found that viscosity at the scale of small insects meant that even their small wings can move a very large volume of air relative to the size, and this reduces the power required to sustain flight by an order of magnitude.

However, the fuel crisis of the time meant that suddenly it became very hard to sell gas-guzzling cars like this ( even though the aerodynamics increased fuel economy greatly, reducing the power needed to attain its top speed by some 30 hp ), and coupled with some production line difficulties in actually building the car meant that sales and delivery were slow, and eventually just 204 examples were built, far short of the 30, 000 projected.

The Crown Victoria, along with its cousin, the Mercury Grand Marquis, received exterior facelifts for the 1988 model year to improve aerodynamics, followed by an all-new dash, door panels, standard power windows, and standard driver's side airbag and revised steering column in 1990.

Car and engine tuning are modification of a car for enhanced performance, in engine power output, handling, aerodynamics, or cosmetic purposes.

Flettner's interest in aerodynamics ( specifically the Magnus effect, which produces a force from a cylinder rotating in a fluid flow ) also led him to invent the Flettner rotor which he used to power a Flettner ship which crossed the Atlantic, and the Flettner ventilator which is still widely used as a cooling device for buses, vans and other commercial vehicles and which is based upon the Savonius principle.

The combination of light weight ( 640 kg in race trim for 2011 ), power ( 950 bhp with the 3. 0 L V10, with the 2007 regulation 2. 4 L V8 ), aerodynamics, and ultra-high-performance tyres is what gives the F1 car its performance figures.

Designed by Kazumasu Takagi and his team of developers, the 300ZX improved aerodynamics and increased power when compared to its predecessor, the 280ZX.

It is mechanically similar to the F430 Challenge, but has better developed aerodynamics and more power.

These include: the Evo 1, Evo 2, and Sport Evolution some of which featured less weight, improved aerodynamics, taller front wheel arches ( Sport Evolution ; to further facilitate wheels in DTM ), brake ducting, and more power.

The 1971 was a repeat Ford victory, which notably included the GT-HO development program had reached its peak with the XY-model Falcon GT-HO Phase Three with further upgrades to engine power and aerodynamics, which proved to be the world ’ s fastest four-door production car.

The Panther De Ville was equipped with Jaguar suspension, power steering and automatic transmission, so it was an easy car to drive and quite quick, although poor aerodynamics tended to keep the top speed low.

Different riders have different power outputs, lactate thresholds and aerodynamics.

Upgrades are separated into 3 categories: engine / power, appearance / aerodynamics and chassis / drivetrain.

In addition to flying eight sorties on Super Dimona, a cadet is taught subjects like aerodynamics, navigation, aero engines, instrumentation, aviation medicine, airmanship, airframe, avionics & radio aids, meteorology, GSK and air power.

The three-issue mini-series The Green Hornet: Dark Tomorrow ( June – August 1993 ) was set approximately one hundred years in the future, and had an Asian-American Green Hornet, real name Clayton Reid, who had been corrupted by power and truly became the crime boss he was supposed to only pretend to be, fighting a Caucasian Kato.

The AMC Hornet served as a vehicle for several experimental alternative power sources.

An AMC Hornet was converted to a WR-26 regenerative gas turbine power made by Williams International.

It is the power that holds the stars in their orbits, but allows the wind to bend a blade of grass.

The low power consumption of LEDs allows the vehicle's engine to remain turned off while the lights operate nodes.

It allows the user to boost mental power and access the thoughts and dreams of other beings.

Being in a coalition allows males to dominate a third individual when they could not by themselves, as politically apt chimps can exert power over aggressive interactions regardless of their rank.

This allows a combination of the accuracy that putting provides and more power on the putt.

Even if this process is more complex than analog processing and has a discrete value range, the application of computational power to digital signal processing allows for many advantages over analog processing in many applications, such as error detection and correction in transmission as well as data compression.

The power plant on the Israeli side allows production of magnesium metal ( by a subsidiary, Dead Sea Magnesium Ltd .).

A turbocharged engine can produce significantly more power than a naturally aspirated engine of the same configuration, as having more air in the cylinders allows more fuel to be burned and thus more power to be produced.

Pushing the door outward at its closed position, through a switch mechanism, disconnects power to the latch and allows the door to swing outward.

In this sense, dictatorship ( government without people's consent ) is a contrast to democracy ( government whose power comes from people ) and totalitarianism ( government controls every aspect of people's life ) opposes pluralism ( government allows multiple lifestyles and opinions ).

Since being able to choose any resource type allows more building power, gold rivers are either marked with number token of only 2 or 3 dots and / or are far away from starting positions to offset this.

Some aircraft, the Panavia Tornado for example, retain a very basic hydro-mechanical backup system for limited flight control capability on losing electrical power, in the case of the Tornado this allows rudimentary control of the stabilators only for pitch and roll axis movements.

The Lesotho Highlands Water Project allows exporting water from the Malibamatso, Matsoku, Senqu and Senqunyane rivers to South Africa, while also generating hydroelectric power for Lesotho's needs.

* Gain medium, a quantum system that allows amplification of power ( gain ) of waves passing through ( usually by stimulated emission )

GM2 is the basis of the instrument selection mechanism in Scalable Polyphony MIDI ( SP-MIDI ), a MIDI variant for low power devices that allows the device's polyphony to scale according to its processing power.

PHWRs can be refueled while at full power, which makes them very efficient in their use of uranium ( it allows for precise flux control in the core ).

This allows for mechanical power, torque, and speed to be transmitted across axles.

While arm power, accuracy, and pocket presence – the ability to successfully operate from within the " pocket " formed by his blockers – are still the most important quarterback virtues, the ability to elude or run past defenders creates an additional threat that allows greater flexibility in the team's passing and running game.

Pilots of surviving or reproduction aircraft fitted with rotary engines still find, however, that the blip switch is useful while landing rotary-engined aircraft, as it allows pilots a more reliable, quicker source of power in case it should be needed, rather than risking a sudden engine stall at the worst possible moment.

A relay allows circuits to be switched by electrical equipment: for example, a timer circuit with a relay could switch power at a preset time.

These include the " super-powers " of the computer characters, the feather power up which allows players to jump high into the air and having a restricted number of lives.

Checks and balances allow for a system based regulation that allows one branch to limit another, such as the power of Congress to alter the composition and jurisdiction of the federal courts.
