FAA-Terminal Area Chart Baltimore-Washington from 2011. Like the VFR sectional charts that they complement, terminal area charts depict topographic features and other information of interest to aviators flying visually, including major landmarks, terrain elevations, visual navigation routes, ground-based navigation aids, airports, rivers, cities, and airspace boundaries.
A World Aeronautical Chart (WAC) was a type of aeronautical chart used for navigation by pilots of moderate speed aircraft and aircraft at high altitudes in the United States. They are at a scale of 1:1,000,000 (about 1 inch = 13.7 nautical miles or 16 statute miles).
A weight-distributing hitch is a "load leveling" hitch. It is a hitch setup mounted on the tow vehicle that uses spring bars and chains under tension to distribute part of the trailer's hitch weight from the towing vehicle's rear axle to the towing vehicle's front axle and to the trailer's axle(s). It can help reduce trailer sway and hop.
Most of these can propel a ship directly (e.g. by towing or chain), via hydrodynamic drag devices (e.g. oars and paddle wheels) and via hydrodynamic lift devices (e.g. propellers or jets). A few exotic means also exist, such as "fish-tail propulsion", rockets or magnetohydrodynamic propulsion.
A US Marine Corps M88A2 Hercules in 2014, lifting an M1 Abrams engine with its crane.. An armoured recovery vehicle (ARV) is typically a powerful tank or armoured personnel carrier (APC) chassis modified for use during combat for military vehicle recovery (towing) or repair of battle-damaged, stuck, and/or inoperable armoured fighting vehicles, such as tanks and armoured personnel carriers.
AKERR is braided nylon rope which is designed to stretch, which makes AKERR tow ropes better able to pull stuck vehicles out of mud. Special hand and arm signals are used during the vehicle recovery to guide the participants where field of view or line-of-sight are restricted and to make communications feasible in noisy battlefield conditions.
If the template has a separate documentation page (usually called "Template:template name/doc"), add [[Category:United States highway templates]] to the <includeonly> section at the bottom of that page.
