Lastiğin zeminle temasta olduğu nokta ile yanal kuvvetin etki ettiği nokta arasındaki mesafeye ingilizce literatürde pneumatic trail ( pnömatik mesafe ) denilmektedir.:kes2005:.
  • Yes, it's Turkish. A rather odd sentence to be floating around in the middle of nowhere though! The sentence is a turkish definition of what we apparently call a 'pneumatic trail' in English -- although, in the parenthesis in Turkish it says "pneumatic distance" to be exact, but it sounds like essentially the same term. The translation of the whole thing is: "The distance between the point at which the tire makes contact with the ground and the point of sideways pull/impact is called pneumatic trail in English literature."
'yanal kuvvet' translated literally means 'sideways pull/force/impact', but in the context of the sentence, I'm quite sure it actually means traction/adhesive friction (you know, such as the tire grip and centripetal force when you're driving on a bend in the road for example). I mean, I'm no automotive engineer and I'm a girl =), but that’s definitely what it should mean. And they also probably meant 'in English' not 'in English literature'!
Still don't know why that sentence would be floating around aimlessly like that though.
