Once upon a time, most car engines used solid or mechanical lifters. But unlike most fairy tales that begin that way, there was no lasting happy ending for them. Hydraulic lifters first appeared in ...

As we reported in our article about the new Chinese design, an ekranoplan uses the aerodynamic concept of ground effect to travel at high speeds just above the surface of water (or, less commonly, ...

If you've been hoping for a long-range, low-cost, heavy-lift seaplane using Wing-In-Ground effect (WIG), you'll have to be patient because DARPA has confirmed that it has cancelled its US$98-million ...

DARPA has ended its Liberty Lifter effort to build a full-scale seaplane demonstrator earlier than originally expected, with the agency deciding it was not cost-effective or feasible to build the ...

However, these numbers reflect all units sold, and not all of the models listed were equipped with engines susceptible to the GM lifter issue – for example, trucks equipped with the 3.0L I6 LZ0 ...

In the early 2000s, having a lip-plumping gloss — like the Too Faced Lip Injection Extreme Lip Plumper or the DuWop Lip Venom — was like carrying around liquid gold. Not only did the formulas leave ...

The video shows how Liberty Lifter can combine heavy-lift transport at the scale of a ship with the speed of an aircraft for fast logistics missions in a sea environment. Aurora Flight Sciences, which ...

Harley-Davidson is recalling more than 40,000 motorcycles due to a potential for short-circuiting and increased crash risk, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
