  2. Ski (driving stunt) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ski_(driving_stunt)

    The stunt is generally performed by driving one pair of wheels up on a ramp to lift one side of the car. [2] Alternately, the stunt can be done in a vehicle with a high center of gravity (such as a 4x4 or SUV) by turning sharply or at speed. This technique is more dangerous because there is a strong possibility of the vehicle tipping completely ...

  3. Ski geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ski_geometry

    Different geometry at skis for backcountry skiing (top), allmountain skis and piste skis for carve turns.. Ski geometry is the shape of the ski.Described in the direction of travel, the front of the ski, typically pointed or rounded, is the tip, the middle is the waist and the rear is the tail.

  4. Carved turn - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carved_turn

    A carved turn is a skiing and snowboarding term for the technique of turning by shifting the ski or snowboard onto its edges. When edged, the sidecut geometry causes the ski (in the following, snowboard is implicit and not mentioned) to bend into an arc, and the ski naturally follows this arc shape to produce a turning motion.

  5. Vehicle dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vehicle_dynamics

    The tire model must produce realistic shear forces during braking, acceleration, cornering, and combinations, on a range of surface conditions. Many models are in use. Most are semi-empirical, such as the Pacejka Magic Formula model. Racing car games or simulators are also a form of vehicle dynamics simulation. In early versions many ...

  6. Skid (automobile) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skid_(automobile)

    Once the force exceeds the limit circle, that tire starts to slip. Skidding is the vehicle's response to one or more tires slipping. The vehicle dynamics during a skid will depend on whether some or all of the tires are skidding, and whether the car was rotating or turning when the skid began.

  7. Roll moment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roll_moment

    In aeronautics, the roll moment is the product of an aerodynamic force and the distance between where it is applied and the aircraft's center of mass that tends to cause the aircraft to rotate about its roll axis. The roll axis is usually defined as the longitudinal axis, which runs from the nose to the tail of the aircraft.

  8. Automobile handling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automobile_handling

    During corner entry the front tires, in addition to generating part of the lateral force required to accelerate the car's centre of mass into the turn, also generate a torque about the car's vertical axis that starts the car rotating into the turn. However, the lateral force being generated by the rear tires is acting in the opposite torsional ...

  9. Scrub radius - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrub_radius

    Zero scrub radius (top) positive scrub radius (center) negative scrub radius (bottom) In an automobile's suspension system, the scrub radius is the distance in front view between the king pin axis and the center of the contact patch of the wheel, where both would theoretically touch the road. It can be positive, negative or zero.
