unusual facts about Cantilever


4-2-0

Cantilevering the weight of the firebox and the locomotive crew behind the driving axle placed more weight on the driving axle without substantially reducing the weight on the leading truck.


Akaflieg Stuttgart FS-16

The design employed a cantilever wing attached to the top of the fuselage; the rear portion of the fuselage was raised, similar to the Akaflieg Stuttgart F.1.

Alexander Meadows Rendel

He designed the Lansdowne Bridge Rohri at Sukkur over the Indus River, which when it was completed in 1889 was the largest cantilever bridge in the world.

Arrow Sport

The plane was designed by Swen Swanson and it was of largely conventional configuration with tailskid undercarriage, but was interesting in that the pilot and passenger sat side by side in the open cockpit, and because as originally designed, the fully cantilever wings lacked interplane struts – the upper wing attaching directly to the top of the fuselage.

Bloch MB.170

A design team at the former Bloch factory at Courbevoie (which had recently become part of the nationalised SNCASO), led by Henri Deplante, proposed the MB.170, a twin-engined, low-winged cantilever monoplane.

Earthstar Thunder Gull

Fanaero-Chile Chincol

Frick and Frack

Glyder Fach

"Castell y Gwynt" and the "Cantilever Stone" were used in Walt Disney's 1981 movie Dragonslayer, this was one entrance to the Dragon's lair.

Matchless Silver Arrow

The narrow angle of the V allowed the use of a one piece head, a practice utilised by Lancia in its early V4 automobile engines.The rear suspension was a cantilever design using two springs and friction dampers beneath the saddle, very similar to the 1928 Vincent HRD design.

Minato Bridge

It is the third-longest cantilever truss span in the world, behind the Quebec Bridge and the Forth Bridge.

Muniz Casmuniz 52

A low-wing cantilever monoplane with a 185hp (138kW) Continental E185 flat six engines mounted on the leading edge of wing.

Natchez Trace Parkway Bridge

The bridge was designed by Florida-based Figg Engineering Group and built by PCL Civil Constructors Inc., a subsidiary of PCL Constructors Inc. The arches and deck were constructed using a balanced cantilever method.

Practavia Sprite

The prototype Sprite, named the Pilot Sprite, was designed by a team at Loughborough University and had little in common with Garrison's design, though both were all-metal side-by-side low-wing cantilever monoplanes with tricycle landing gear.

SIAI-Marchetti S.210

The S.210 was developed from the single-engined S.205 and was an all-metal low-wing cantilever monoplane with a retractable tricycle landing gear.

Sundial Bridge at Turtle Bay

The Sundial Bridge is a cantilever spar cable-stayed bridge, similar to Calatrava's earlier design of the Puente del Alamillo in Seville, Spain (1992).

Swanson Coupe

The Swanson Coupe Model W-15 was a high-wing, cantilever-type monoplane produced in 1931 by Swedish aircraft designer and manufacturer Swen Swanson.

Titan Tornado

The Titan Tornado is large family of cantilever high-wing, pusher configuration, tricycle gear-equipped kit aircraft manufactured by Titan Aircraft of Austinburg, Ohio for amateur construction.

Vantage, Washington

The original bridge was dismantled, and moved to the crossing at Lyons Ferry, where it still stands today as the oldest extant steel cantilever bridge in Washington, and is listed in the National Register of Historic Places.
