Land Air Space Marine Safety
The parts of vehicles that enables it to change direction and speed
What are Control Systems?
The parts of vehicles that convert energy to produce power that
propels a vehicle
What are Propulsion Systems?
Mechanical devices that provide control for the separation of
power and drive systems
What are Clutches?
Heat engines that burn their fuel outside of the engine itself
What are External Combustion Engines?
Technical subsystem that provides information to an
operator
What is Guidance?
Paths or routes thatairplanes follow
What are Airways?
The body of an airplane
What is the Fuselage?
The resistance of the air to the plane flying through it
What is Drag?
As the speed of a fluid is increased, its pressure is
decreased
What is the Bernoulli Effect?
The upward force that an airplane’s wing produces to keep
it in the air
What is Lift?
A supporting structure for launching space vehicles
What is a Launching Pad?
The path taken by spacecraft circling the earth in space
What is the Orbit?
Additional propulsion units found on space vehicles to help “boost” them into orbiting speed
What are Solid Rocket Boosters?
This technique places several propulsion systems on top of
each other
What is Staging?
The main source of energy for the liquid-fueled rocket engine
What is Hydrogen?
A channel that is constructed to connect two bodies of water
What is a Canal?
A chamber like facility constructed in a canal between
two different water levels
What is a Lock?
A term used to describe a frequently used type of
navigation
What is Dead Reckoning?
Used to warn mariners of danger, obstructions, and changes in depth of water, and to show where channels are located
What are Buoys?
A system used to measure a ships speed in knots
What is Doppler Sonar Log System?
The leading classification society in the world. They encourage and maintain rigid standards for ship
construction
What is Lloyd’s Register of Shipping?
Design Criteria in Transportation
What is Safety and Efficiency?
Determines and enforces inspections for all types of
aircraft
What is The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)?
It’s purpose is to warn ships of dangerous waters and provide
guidance for ships entering harbors and channels
What is a Lighthouse?
Investigators from this agency study crash tests and vehicle
disasters
What is the National Transportation Safety Board?
