   5 days ago · The thrust is determined by the size and type of propulsion system used on the airplane and on the throttle setting selected by the pilot. Thrust is normally directed forward along the centerline of the aircraft. Lift and drag are aerodynamic forces that depend on the shape and size of the aircraft, air conditions, and the flight velocity.

   5 days ago · An airplane can cruise at a constant speed and level flight in which the lift is equal to the weight, and the thrust is equal to the drag. Since there is no net external force on the aircraft, the aircraft maintains a constant airspeed, as described by Newton’s first law of motion.

   5 days ago · A thrust fault is a type of reverse fault that has a dip of 45 degrees or less. If the angle of the fault plane is lower (often less than 15 degrees from the horizontal) and the displacement of the overlying block is large (often in the kilometer range) the fault is called an overthrust or overthrust fault.

   4 days ago · A sleeve bearing (also known as a bushing bearing or plain bearing) is a straightforward and fundamental type of bearing. It primarily consists of an inner metal sleeve (known as the bushing) and an outer metal sleeve. Between these two sleeves lies a layer of special lubricating material, typically a sliding surface coated with grease or oil.
