A shuttlecock ( also called a bird or birdie ) is a high-drag projectile used in the sport of badminton .

A shuttlecock is also called a shuttle .

In Asia , where feather shuttlecocks are more affordable than in Europe and North America , plastic shuttlecocks are hardly used at all .

In Asia , where the prices of feathers are lower , shuttles made of plastic are rarely used ; feather shuttles are used .

The feathers are brittle ; shuttlecocks break easily and often need to be replaced several times during a game .

This is to save feathers , since plastic shuttlecocks do not break easily .

Most experienced and skillful players greatly prefer feathers , and serious tournaments or leagues are always played using feather shuttlecocks of the highest quality .

They feel that feather shuttles give them more control , and better play is needed to hit feather shuttles .

Many species , but far from all , are known as gum trees because they exude copious sap from any break in the bark .

One way in which the eucalyptus , mainly the blue gum E. globulus , proved valuable in California was in providing windbreaks for highways , orange groves , and other farms in the mostly treeless central part of the state .

The most efficient cylinder bank angle for a V6 is 60 degrees , minimizing size and vibration .

The most efficient cylinder bank angle for a V6 is 60 degrees .

When Lancia pioneered the V6 in 1950 , they used a 60 ° angle between the cylinder banks and a six-throw crankshaft to achieve equally spaced firing intervals of 120 ° .

The Lancia V6 in 1950 used a 60 ° angle between the cylinder banks and a six-throw crankshaft , to achieve equally spaced firing intervals of 120 ° .

It is the second most common engine configuration in modern cars after the inline four .

It is the second most common engine design in modern cars after the inline four .

Each cylinder bank in a V6 has an odd number of pistons , so the V6 also suffers from the same problem unless steps are taken to mitigate it .

Each bank in a V6 has an odd number of pistons .

Due to the odd number of cylinders in each bank , V6 designs are inherently unbalanced , regardless of their V-angle .

Due to the odd number of cylinders in each bank , V6 designs are unbalanced , whatever V-angle they use .

The first series production V6 was introduced by Lancia in 1950 with the Lancia Aurelia .

The first series production V6 was introduced by Lancia in 1950 .

Some of the first V6-cars were built in 1905 by Marmon .

Some of the first V6-cars were built in 1905 by the Marmon Motor Car Company .

In 1959 GMC introduced a unique 60-degree heavy-duty 305 in3 ( 5 L ) 60 ° V6 for use in their pickup trucks and Suburbans , an engine design that was later enlarged to 478 in3 ( 7.8 L ) for heavy truck and bus use .

The engine was later enlarged to 478 in3 ( 7.8 L ) for heavy truck and bus use .

Concentrating on the first order rocking motion , the V6 can be modeled as two separate straight-3 engines where counterweights on the crankshaft and a counter rotating balance shaft compensate the first order rocking motion .

Counterweights on the crankshaft and a counter rotating balancer shaft compensate for some of the rocking motion .

1962 saw the introduction of the Buick Special , which offered a 90 ° V6 with uneven firing intervals that shared some parts commonality with a small Buick V8 of the period .

In 1962 , the Buick Special offered a 90 ° V6 with uneven firing intervals .

Rather than firing every 120 ° of crankshaft rotation , the cylinders would fire alternately at 90 ° and 150 ° , resulting in strong harmonic vibrations at certain engine speeds .

Each cylinder fires a power stroke every 120 ° of crankshaft rotation .

While 60 ° V6 engines are not as well balanced as inline-6 and flat-6 engines , modern techniques for designing and mounting engines have largely disguised their vibrations .

60 ° V6 engines are not as well balanced .

The 120 ° layout also produces an engine which is too wide for most automobile engine compartments , so it is more often used in racing cars where the car is designed around the engine rather than vice-versa , and vibration is not as important .

Race cars are designed around the engine , and vibration is not as important .

It is becoming more common as the space allowed for engines in modern cars is reduced at the same time as power requirements increase , and has largely replaced the straight-six engine , which is too long to fit in many modern engine compartments .

It has largely replaced the inline-6 , which is too long to fit in many modern cars .

This produced a rough-running design which was unacceptable to many customers .

This produced a rough-running design .

Unlike most other angles , 60-degree V6 engines can be made acceptably smooth without the need for balance shafts .

60 degree V6 engines do not need balance shafts .

Other 60 ° V6 engines are the Chrysler 3.3 V6 engine , the Nissan VQ engine , the Mazda K engine , the Alfa Romeo V6 engine , many Toyota V6 engines , and later versions of the Mercedes-Benz V6 engine .

Some 90 ° V6 engines are built .

Other manufacturers took note and soon other V6 engines were in use .

Other builders soon started using V6 engines .

120 ° might be described as the natural angle for a V6 since the cylinders fire every 120 ° of crankshaft rotation .

120 ° could be thought of as the natural angle for a V6 .

A V6 engine is a V engine with six cylinders mounted on the crankcase in two banks of three cylinders , usually set at either a right angle or an acute angle to each other , with all six pistons driving a common crankshaft .

A V6 engine , often just called a V6 , is an internal combustion engine with six cylinders .
