a British jet-propelled car developed by Richard
Noble, Glynne Bowsher,Ron Ayers and Jeremy
Bliss.[1]
• Thrust SSC holds the World Land Speed Record, set
on 15 October 1997, when it achieved a speed of
1,228 km/h (763 mph) and became the first car to
officially break the sound barrier.
• The current holder of the Outright World Land

11. • A waterway is any navigable body of water. A shipping route consists of
one or several waterways.
• Waterways can include rivers, lakes, seas, oceans, and canals. In the
waterway must be deep enough to allow the draft depth of
the vessels using it.
• India has an extensive network of inland waterways in the form
of rivers, canals, backwaters and creeks.
• The total navigable length is 14,500 km, out of which about 5200 km of
the river and 4000 km of canals can be used by mechanised crafts.
• Inland Waterways Authority of India (IWAI) is the statutory authority in
charge of the waterways in India. Its headquarters is located
in Noida, UP. It does the function of building the necessary
infrastructure in these waterways, surveying the economic feasibility of
new projects and also administration.
• Till 2010, an amount of ₹1,117 crore (US$170 million) was spent
on Inland waterways of India
13. • While the German term refers to any submarine,
the English one (in common with several other
languages) refers specifically to military
submarines operated by Germany, particularly
in the First and Second World Wars.
• Although at times they were efficient fleet
weapons against enemy naval warships, they
were most effectively used in an economic
warfare role (commerce raiding), enforcing a
naval blockade against enemy shipping.
• The primary targets of the U-boat campaigns in
both wars were the merchant convoys bringing
supplies from Canada, the British Empire, and
the United States to the United Kingdom and
(during the Second World War) to the Soviet
Union and the Allied territories in the
Mediterranean.
14. • Airways is a form of travel in vehicles such as helicopters, hot air
balloons, blimps, gliders, hang gliding, parachuting, airplanes or
anything else that can sustain flight.
• Use of airways has greatly increased in recent decades - worldwide it
doubled between the mid-1980s and the year 2000.
• Air travel can be separated into two general
classifications: national/domestic and international flights.
• Flights from one point to another within the same country are called
domestic flights.
• Flights from a point in one country to a point within a different country
are known as international flights. Travelers can use domestic or
international fights in either private or public travel.
• Cargo aircraft or freighters, fixed-wing aircraft designed or converted for
the carriage of goods, rather than passengers, lacking in passenger
amenities and generally featuring one or more large doors for loading
cargo; also known as freight aircraft, freighters, airlifters, or cargo jets.
15.
16. • It allows cargo to be moved cheaply from one
mode of transport to another and has
facilitated the development of the complex
supply chains all modern economies rely on.
• Transfer from truck to giant cargo ship to freight
train is seamless and the container can be used
again and again, drastically reducing the cost of
long-distance shipping.
• That's the magic of inter-modal transport -- and
it's something the futuristic and potentially
game-changing Clip-Air concept hopes to
emulate.
• Then there's the capsules, a number of
detachable pods that can act as cabin or cargo
hold, depending on the chosen configuration.
19. • Rail transport is a means of conveyance of passengers and
goods on wheeled vehicles running on rails, also known astracks.
• It is also commonly referred to as train transport.
• In contrast to road transport, where vehicles run on a prepared
flat surface, rail vehicles (rolling stock) are directionally guided by
the tracks on which they run.
• Indian Railways (reporting mark IR) is an Indian state-owned
enterprise, owned and operated by the Government of India
through the Ministry of Railways.
• It is one of the world's largest railway networks comprising
115,000 km (71,000 mi) of track over a route of 67,312 km (41,826
mi) and 7,112 stations.
• In 2015-16, IR carried 8.101 billion passengers annually or more
than 22 million passengers a day and 1.107 billion tons of freight
in the year.

world's longest railway
network, followed by China
and India. Railway-

23. Pipeline transport is the mode of transportation of goods or material
through a pipe. Liquids and gases are transported in pipelines and any
chemically stable substance can be sent through a pipeline. Pipelines exist for
the transport of crude and refined petroleum, fuels - such as oil, natural gas
and biofuels - and other fluids including sewage, slurry,water and beer.
Cable transport is a broad class of transport modes that have cables as
foundation for transporting things, people, or vehicles. The cable may be
driven or passive; items may be moved by pulling, sliding, sailing, or by
drives within the object being moved on cableways. The use of pulleys and
balancing of loads going up and down are common elements of cable
transport.They are also used in mountainous areas.
The Space Transportation System (STS), also known internally to NASA as the
Integrated Program Plan (IPP),[1] was a proposed system of reusable manned
space vehicles envisioned in 1969 to support extended operations beyond
the Apollo program. (NASA appropriated the name for its Space Shuttle
Program, the only component of the proposal to survive Congressional funding
approval.)
24. • Communications are the ways of sending information to people by using
technology
• Communication studies integrates aspects of both social sciences and the
humanities.
• Much of the work being done in the field is academic in nature.
• As a social science, the discipline often overlaps with sociology, psychology,
anthropology, biology, political science, economics, and public policy,
amongst others.
• From a humanities perspective, communication is concerned with rhetoric
and persuasion.
• Often you would come across organizations that stress the importance of
good communication management. It's empirical for an organization to
have a proper communication management.
• Once this is achieved, the organization is one step closer to achieving its
overall business objectives. Communication management refers to a
systematic plan, which implements and monitors the channels and content
of communication.
25. • Some communication that would allow groups of people to further
develop positive aspects of communication technology include unfettered
worldwide p projects and relationships with an alternative or previously
unthought of view.
• The advantages of new communication technologies far outweigh the old
modes of traditional letter writing
• Another positive aspect of communication technology is the opportunity
for direct and instant contact with anyone who holds an Internet-enabled
device.
• This allows for cost-effective, efficient communication. People no longer
have to be flown overseas for business transactions, usually saving a
company quite a bit of money.
• Storage of information also becomes easier, as there is less need for large
filing cabinets.
26. • A social network is a social structure made up of a set of social actors (such
as individuals or organizations), sets of dyadic ties, and other social
interactions between actors. The social network perspective provides a set
of methods for analyzing the structure of whole social entities as well as a
variety of theories explaining the patterns observed in these structures.
The study of these structures uses social network analysis to identify local
and global patterns, locate influential entities, and examine network
dynamics.
• Social networks and the analysis of them is an
inherently interdisciplinary academic field which emerged from social
psychology,sociology, statistics, and graph theory. Georg Simmel authored
early structural theories in sociology emphasizing the dynamics of triads
and "web of group affiliations".
• Jacob Moreno is credited with developing the first sociograms in the 1930s
to study interpersonal relationships. These approaches were
mathematically formalized in the 1950s and theories and methods of social
networks became pervasive in the social and behavioral sciences by the
1980s.
