the wheels. Wheel lock occurs when brake torque forces exceed tyre grip forces. The impact would be much greater if the road surface is slippery due to rain, oil spills or other causes, or if the vehicle is driven at great speed. At speed, control of the car is difficult, especially at corners where there is a tendency to skid. Statistics show that approximately 40% of automobile accidents are due to skidding.

1. Flight Controls Purpose of flight controls: The purpose of a flight control system is transfer motion/force input from a pilot to a flight control surface. In a traditional aircraft, flight control systems are broken down by axis of control: pitch, roll and yaw. Flight control systems can be either reversible or irreversible. A reversible system is a flight control system where movement applied to the control surface moves the control in the flight compartment. A simple example is shown in
