3torque effect — The reaction on a vehicle of the torque applied to the propeller or the rotor, which tends to rotate the fuselage in the opposite direction to the torque force. In helicopters, it is countered by the tail rotor. In propeller driven aircraft,… …
4Torque effect — The torque effect experienced in helicopters and single propeller powered aircraft is a result of Isaac Newton s third law of motion that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction In helicopters, the result of the torque effect is… …
5Reaction control system — A reaction control system, abbreviated RCS, is a subsystem of a spacecraft. Its purpose is attitude control and steering. An RCS system is capable of providing small amounts of thrust in any desired direction or combination of directions. An RCS… …
6torque steer — A tendency for a car to turn in a particular direction when power is applied. Torque steer is common in front drive cars because reaction forces created in the half shafts can generate uneven steering forces in the front tires …
7V-twin — A V twin is a two cylinder internal combustion engine where the cylinders are arranged in a V configuration. Configurations True V twin vs V 2 There is some ambiguity regarding what defines a V twin which arose from 180 degree V engines (see Flat …
