Flat-four engine

A flat-four engine, also known as a horizontally opposed-four engine or boxer engine, is a four-cylinder piston engine with two banks of cylinders lying on opposite sides of a common crankshaft.

See Agusta A.103 and Flat-four engine

Ground effect (aerodynamics)

For fixed-wing aircraft, ground effect is the reduced aerodynamic drag that an aircraft's wings generate when they are close to a fixed surface.

See Agusta A.103 and Ground effect (aerodynamics)

Helicopter

A helicopter is a type of rotorcraft in which lift and thrust are supplied by horizontally spinning rotors.

See Agusta A.103 and Helicopter

List of rotorcraft

This is a list of rotorcraft, including helicopters, autogyros, rotor kites and convertiplanes.

See Agusta A.103 and List of rotorcraft

Poly(methyl methacrylate)

Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) is the synthetic polymer derived from methyl methacrylate.

See Agusta A.103 and Poly(methyl methacrylate)

Prototype

A prototype is an early sample, model, or release of a product built to test a concept or process.

See Agusta A.103 and Prototype

Tail rotor

The tail rotor is a smaller rotor mounted vertically or near-vertically at the tail of a traditional single-rotor helicopter, where it rotates to generate a propeller-like horizontal thrust in the same direction as the main rotor's rotation.
