A detachable chairlift or high-speed chairlift is a type of passenger aerial lift, which, like a fixed-grip chairlift, consists of numerous chairs attached to a constantly moving wire rope (called a haul rope) that is strung between two (or more) terminals over intermediate towers. In contrast to the fixed-grip version, the chairs of a ...

Semi-trailer aerodynamic devices are devices affixed to semi-trailers, for the purpose of reducing aerodynamic drag caused by air turbulence.The two major types of device in use are trailer skirts (or side skirts), affixed to the underside of trailers, and trailer tails (or boat tails, or rear fairings), affixed to the rear.
Aircraft fairing, a structure in aircraft design used to reduce drag and improve appearance; Bicycle fairing, a type of fairing coverage for bicycles; Motorcycle fairing, a type of fairing applied to motorcycles; Payload fairing, an aerodynamic structure that encapsulates the payload of a rocket-powered launch vehicle
The Peel P50 is in the Guinness Book Of World Records as the world's smallest production car. In 1966 Peel stopped producing cars, concentrating again on motorcycle fairings and – under the name West Marine Ltd. – on the construction of fiberglass boats, especially small fishing boats with outboard motors such as the Peel Inshoreman 18.

An aerodynamic fairing must be well-shaped, but minimizing the frontal area of the velomobile is also important to reduced drag: a fairing with half the frontal area may approach half the air drag. In turn, aerodynamic velomobiles use a laid-back or recumbent riding position, with the rider's head much lower than on regular bicycles.
The Harley-Davidson Freewheeler is a motorized tricycle introduced by Harley-Davidson in August, 2014 for the 2015 model year. It is designated the FLRT. [1]It has a 1,690 cc displacement, air-cooled, [2] V-twin engine with 142 N⋅m (105 lbf⋅ft) torque and a six-speed transmission with reverse.
Kawasaki Ninja ZX-12R full fairing. A motorcycle fairing is a shell placed over the frame of a motorcycle, especially racing motorcycles and sport bikes, to deflect wind and reduce air drag. The secondary functions are the protection of the rider from airborne hazards and wind-induced hypothermia and of the engine components in the case of an ...
