Thrust vectoring is a method of directional control for vehicles that use powered thrust, such as aircraft, spacecraft, and underwater vehicles. It can aid in fast turns and is used in advanced aircraft and rocket systems. Different approaches are taken to achieve thrust vector control, including linking the movement of the exhaust nozzle to the […]
Thrust vectoring is a method of directional control used in vehicles that move in three dimensions via powered thrust, such as aircraft, spacecraft, and submarines. It can aid in fast turns and is used in various rocket and spacecraft systems. Different approaches are taken to achieve thrust vector control, including gimballing and injecting a coolant […]
Jaw thrust is a technique to protect the airway of a patient with a potential spinal injury. It is recommended that only trained emergency services personnel and physicians perform the jaw thrust as it is potentially dangerous to the patient. The technique involves pulling the jaw forward to keep the throat clear. Other options include […]
Prop thrust is the force generated by a propeller to move a vehicle forward. Marine propellers achieve thrust by screwing into water, while aviation propellers change blade pitch to create thrust. Cavitation can cause thrust decay and damage to propellers. Adjustable pitch propellers can also act as a braking mechanism. Prop thrust refers to the […]
Tongue thrusting is a disorder that can affect tooth development and speech. It involves the tongue thrusting forward past the front teeth when swallowing, talking, or doing nothing. It can cause orthodontic problems and speech issues. Therapy and braces are often needed to correct it. Causes include thumb sucking, allergies, and heredity. A tongue thrust […]
