  2. Turning radius - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turning_radius

    Mathematically, the radius of a circle is half the diameter, so the correct turning radius in this example would be ⁠ 11.6 m / 2 ⁠ = 5.8 m. However, another source lists the turning radius of the same vehicle as also being 11.6 m, [ 5 ] which is the turning diameter.

  3. Vehicular metrics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vehicular_metrics

    m: acceleration: higher is better Refers to the overall maximum torque an engine can produce, or the maximum torque an engine can produce at a given RPM. 300 lbf·ft would be like applying 300 pounds of force to the end of 1 foot long wrench, or twisting a 2-inch diameter shaft with 3600 pounds of force! Turning radius: feet: feet: meters ...

  4. Banked turn - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banked_turn

    As opposed to a vehicle riding along a flat circle, inclined edges add an additional force that keeps the vehicle in its path and prevents a car from being "dragged into" or "pushed out of" the circle (or a railroad wheel from moving sideways so as to nearly rub on the wheel flange). This force is the horizontal component of the vehicle's ...

  5. Center-pivot irrigation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Center-pivot_irrigation

    When the angle is too large, the wheels rotate to keep the segments aligned. Typical periods for a full rotation include three days; [8] while other sources have the outer edge of the structure moving at 2 to 3 m (6.6 to 9.8 ft) per minute, which would equate to 14 to 21 hours for one full rotation of a 400-meter-radius (1 ⁄ 4 mi) system. [9]

  6. Mercedes-Benz T80 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercedes-Benz_T80

    The Mercedes-Benz T80 was a six-wheeled vehicle built by Mercedes-Benz, developed and designed by Ferdinand Porsche in the late 1930s. It was intended to break the world land speed record, but never made the attempt, due to the project having been overtaken by the outbreak of World War II.

  7. Minimum railway curve radius - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimum_railway_curve_radius

    90-foot (27.43 m) radii on the elevated 4 ft 8 + 1 ⁄ 2 in (1,435 mm) standard gauge Chicago 'L'. There is no room for longer radii at this cross junction in the northwest corner of the Loop . The minimum railway curve radius is the shortest allowable design radius for the centerline of railway tracks under a particular set of conditions.

  8. Ford Expedition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Expedition

    Towing features common to all generations of the Expedition include: smallest possible turning radius for increased trailer maneuverability, large side view mirrors to improve rearward visibility, rearward-facing lane departure indicators which are helpful to other motorist when the Expedition is towing a long trailer providing added visual ...

  9. Ackermann steering geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ackermann_steering_geometry

    Ackermann geometry. The Ackermann steering geometry (also called Ackermann's steering trapezium) [1] is a geometric arrangement of linkages in the steering of a car or other vehicle designed to solve the problem of wheels on the inside and outside of a turn needing to trace out circles of different radii.
