Classification
Nouns denoting man-made objects.
Examples
- The synchroniser on the aircraft's control panel allowed the pilot to adjust the propeller speeds for optimal performance.
- During the pre-flight checks, the pilot ensured the synchroniser was functioning correctly to prevent any vibrations.
- The synchroniser gauge on the instrument panel indicated that the propellers were slightly out of sync.
- The pilot used the synchroniser to fine-tune the engine speeds and reduce the stress on the airframe.
- The aircraft's synchroniser system was upgraded to improve the overall efficiency and reduce fuel consumption.
