Henry Ford was the first to master the moving assembly line and was able to improve other aspects of industry by doing so ( such as reducing labor hours required to produce a single vehicle, and increased production numbers and parts ).

The basic APC design was substantially expanded to an Infantry fighting vehicle ( IFV ) when properties of an armoured personnel carrier and a light tank were combined in one vehicle.

The only vehicle with the qualities of an assault gun to be fielded after the removal of the M50 and M56 from service within the US military was the M551 Sheridan.

It is important, however, to remember that the Sheridan was not developed as an assault gun, but as a light reconnaissance vehicle.

An example of the development of tank destroyer technology throughout the war are the Marder III and Hetzer vehicle, that were very different in spite of being based on the same chassis: Marder was straightforwardly an anti-tank gun on tracks whereas Hetzer traded some firepower ( its Pak 39, designed to operate within the confines of a fully-armored fighting compartment, fires the same projectiles from a reduced propellant charge compared to Marder's Pak 40 ) for better armor protection and ease of battlefield concealment.

Eliminating the turret also allowed the vehicle to carry thicker armor than would otherwise be the case, although sometimes there was no roof ( or merely a strip of canvas ) to keep the overall weight down to the limit that the chassis could bear.

It became the single most-produced armored fighting vehicle of Nazi Germany throughout the war, and was employed in infantry support and offensive armored operations as well as in the defensive anti-tank role.

The StuG III was the most-produced German armored fighting vehicle of any type built during the war years, with some 9, 400 examples built from January 1940 through March 1945.

On September 30, 1935 an exclusive conference was held in Rome with the topic of high velocity flight and the possibility of breaking the sound barrier.

Joseph-Armand Bombardier was a mechanic who dreamed of building a vehicle that could " float on snow ".

The Ski-doo was originally called the " Ski-Dog " because Bombardier meant it to be a practical vehicle to replace the dogsled for hunters and trappers.

Tank and vehicle production was a constant problem for Germany ; indeed, late in the war many panzer " divisions " had no more than a few dozen tanks.

The game was given a large amount of advance publicity in the comics, with story lines often revolving how the characters each acquired his / her vehicle.

Despite the setbacks, Chaplin was soon writing a new film script, The Freak, a story of a winged girl found in South America, which he intended as a starring vehicle for his daughter, Victoria Chaplin.

Charles realised he was using poetry as a vehicle for his sense of humour, and progressed into stand-up comedy.

Possibly the most notorious such vehicle was the former Soviet TMM bridging truck that could carry and launch a 10 meter bridge that could be daisy-chained with other TMM bridges to cross larger obstacles.

A notable example of this type of armoured bridging vehicle was the Churchill Ark used by the Allies in the Second World War.

Travelling in a specially designed six wheel drive vehicle, the team completed the journey from the Antarctic coast at Patriot Hills to the geographic South Pole in 69 hours.

An assault gun is a gun or howitzer mounted on a motor vehicle or armored chassis, designed for use in the direct fire role in support of infantry when attacking other infantry or fortified positions.

A tank destroyer is a type of armored fighting vehicle armed with a gun or missile launcher, and is designed specifically to engage enemy armored vehicles.

A bus (; plural " buses ",, archaically also big car, omnibus, multibus, or autobus ) is a road vehicle designed to carry passengers.

Consider a car's cruise control, which is a device designed to maintain vehicle speed at a constant desired or reference speed provided by the driver.

The system was lightweight, with stations designed for trains of only a single articulated vehicle.

Campbell was disappointed with the record as the vehicle had been designed for much higher speeds.

* The Maverick Flying Dune Buggy was designed by the Indigenous People's Technology and Education Center as an off-road vehicle that could unfurl an advanced parachute and then travel by air over impassable terrain when roadways were no longer usable.

In " car mode ", a patented mechanism allows the wings to fold into the body of the vehicle, which is designed to fit into a single car garage and regular parking space.

The modules were designed to survive a range of hypothetical accidents: launch vehicle explosion or fire, re-entry into the atmosphere followed by land or water impact, and post-impact situations.

They also designed and built a three-wheeled delivery vehicle called the Servi-Car, which remained in production until 1973.

This meant that the vehicle had to be designed to push the center of drag as far rearward as possible to ensure stability over the entire flight regime.

This vehicle was designed for use in and just below the Arctic Circle, and the Antarctic.

Originally released in 1992, this vehicle was designed by American Motors ' AM General subsidiary for the U. S. Military.

The HMMWV was designed primarily for personnel and light cargo transport behind front lines, not as a front line fighting vehicle.

* The Swiss MOWAG Eagle light armored vehicle, designed for reconnaissance surveillance, liaison, escort, border patrol and police missions.

The increased interest from traders and investors was due to the aligned-interest compensation structure and an investment vehicle that was designed to exceed general market returns.

Another fairly detailed vehicle system, designed and optimized for crewed Solar System exploration, " Discovery II ", based on the D < sup > 3 </ sup > He reaction but using hydrogen as reaction mass, has been described by a team from NASA's Glenn Research Center.

An alternative view launched by R. Lee Ermey, on his television series Mail Call, disputes this, saying that the vehicle was designed for specific duties, and was never referred to as " General Purpose " and it is highly unlikely that the average jeep-driving GI would have been familiar with this designation.

Additionally, because the entire Space Shuttle system, including ground and launch vehicle assets, was designed to work together as a closed system, and the specifications did not change, all of the certified systems and components served well in the roles for which they were designed.

rightMariner 8 and Mariner 9 were identical sister craft designed to map the Martian surface simultaneously, but Mariner 8 was lost in a launch vehicle failure.

Parasailing, also known as parascending, or " parakiting " is a recreational kiting activity where a person is towed behind a vehicle ( usually a boat ) while attached to a specially designed canopy wing that reminds one of a parachute, known as a parasail wing.
