ITAF provides a towed or self-propelled aerial practice target with the appropriate infrared signature to enable lock-on of IR-guided missiles at tactical distances... 

A propeller converts through helical motion the energy supplied by a power source into thrust, a force that moves a vehicle foiward in a fluid medium. They are used primarily for marine and aerial propulsion, but they are found on other technologies such as hovercraft and wind turbines as well. Propellers,... 

The extreme climatic and physical environments in which propellers operate test the limits of aerodynamics, mechanical engineering, and structural theory. Depending upon the size of the power source, aerial propellers can he made from wood, metal, or composite materials and feature from two to six long...

Aerial fireworks usually are of two types, aerial shells fired from tubes and the traditional skyrocket. Rockets are made of cardboard tubes filled with a mixture of fuel and oxidizer in proportions that allow continuous burning rather than explosion. Expulsion of gases from the tube propels it skyward. Rockets often contain explosive charges to explode after the propellant charge burns out the composition of the explosive charge determines the colors produced. 

Unloading 155mm propellant charges at Farleigh Down in the autumn of 1943. Virtually all movements were now done via the tunnel belt and the aerial ropeway saw only intermittent use. Note the trucks adapted with end plates for work on the tram-creeper. 

A typical aerial shell is shown in the diagram. The shell is launched from a mortar (a steel cylinder) using black powder as the propellant. Time-delayed fuses are used to fire the shell in stages. A list of chemicals commonly used in fireworks is given in the table. 

Aerial flares syn. meteor or rocket flares) that are propelled from a gun and signal as they ascend (to around 70m) and descend. 

OSHA has stated that it may refer to industry consensus standards such as ANSI A92.3, Manually Propelled Elevating Aerial Platforms and ANSI A92.6, Self-Propelled Elevating Work Platforms to enforce abatement of serious safety hazards involving scissor lifts.
