Westinghouse Air Conditioning
Westinghouse air conditioning – Mini splits air conditioning – Central air conditioning vent.
Westinghouse Air Conditioning
- A system for controlling the humidity, ventilation, and temperature in a building or vehicle, typically to maintain a cool atmosphere in warm conditions
- An Original Equipment or Aftermarket accessory system that cools and dries the incoming passenger compartment air. Aka: a/c
- (Air-conditioned) buses fares cost a little over four times the fare of an ‘Ordinary’ route covering the same distance. Those buses have route numbers starting with A.
- air conditioner: a system that keeps air cool and dry

- (Westinghoused) Electrocution is the stopping of life (determined by a stopped heart) by any type of electric shock.
- George (1846–1914), US engineer. He is best known for developing vacuum-operated safety brakes and electrically controlled signals for railroads. He held over 400 patents and built up a huge company to manufacture his products
- (under their WABCO subsidiary) was the first to offer airhorns for railroad equipment, going as far back as the 1910s. Their E2 model was known by many for the deep, commanding tone it produced. Overshadowed early on by their competitors, WABCO no longer produces horns for the North American market.
- United States inventor and manufacturer (1846-1914)

Douglas X-3 Stiletto
The Douglas X-3 Stiletto was sleekest of the early experimental aircraft, but its research accomplishments were not those originally planned. The goal of the aircraft was ambitious – it was to take off from the ground under its own power, climb to high altitude, maintain a sustained cruise speed of Mach 2, then land under its own power. The aircraft was also to test the feasibility of low-aspect ratio wings, and the large-scale use of titanium in aircraft structures.
Construction of a pair of X-3s was approved on 30 June 1949. During development, the X-3′s planned Westinghouse J46 engines were unable to meet the thrust, size and weight requirements, so lower-thrust Westinghouse J34 turbojets were substituted, producing only 4,900 lbs of thrust with afterburner rather than the planned 7,000 lbs. The first aircraft was completed and delivered to Edwards Air Force Base, California, on 11 September 1952.
The X-3 featured an unusual, rakish shape of a long cylindrical fuselage with tiny wings. One of the design considerations was to create the smallest and "thinnest" shape possible in order to achieve a streamlined planform. The extended nose was to allow for the provision of test equipment while the semi-buried cockpit and windscreen was designed to alleviate the affects of "thermal thicket" conditions. The low aspect ratio, unswept wings were designed for high speed and later the Lockheed design team used data from the X-3 tests for the similar F-104 Starfighter wing design. Due to both engine and airframe problems, the partially completed second aircraft was cancelled, and its components were used for spare parts.
Asia – Singapore
With the opening of the Changi Airport MRT Station on 8 February 2002, the Skytrain is able to connect passengers at Terminal 1 to the MRT station entrances located at Terminals 2 and 3.
Initially, the Skytrain rolling stock consisted of Bombardier Innovia APM 100s, jointly built by Westinghouse and Adtranz (acquired by Bombardier). In 2002, work began on a new S$135 million Mitsubishi Crystal Mover-based system to accommodate the planned opening of Terminal 3 and the projected increase in demand as the airport expands.
It is interesting to note that the previous rolling stock of Bombardier Innovia APM 100 ran without a second carriage per train (as opposed to the current Mitsubishi Crystal Movers, which runs with two carriages per train), and the first two platform screen doors of each station was for emergency purposes (The Innovia APM 100s stopped at the outer half of each station, with two doors on each half.).
