Abstract
The propulsion systems generate the power and drive vehicles, airplanes, and ships. Although the operation mediums, i.e., the road surface, the air, and the water are physically and chemically very different, propulsion systems are similarly structured in all means of transportation. Parts of the propulsion are often called the transmission or drive chain.
