| | |  Bombardier Recreational Products: Encyclopedia II - Bombardier - Global expansionUnder the management of Laurent Beaudoin, Bombardier's son-in-law, the company took over the Canadian government-owned Canadair aircraft manufacturing company in Montreal that had recorded the largest corporate loss in Canadian business history. Bombardier became a leading manufacturer of business jets, regional aircraft, and trains. Besides the Challenger and Global business jets, in 1990 Bombardier acquired the Learjet Company of Wichita, Kansas, builder of the Learjet business aircraft. The aerospace arm, Bombardier Aerospace, accounts fo ...

| | | | Bombardier Recreational Products: Encyclopedia II - Snowmobile - History The earliest snowmobiles were modified Ford Model Ts with the undercarriage replaced with tracks and skis. They were popular for rural mail delivery for a time. This early history [1] can be traced to Carl Eliason [2] in Saynor, Wisconsin with his first hand built model completed in 1924. He was granted a U.S. patent in 1927. Polaris Industries in Roseau, Minnesota, in the United States Midwest, was a pioneer in the pr ...

| | | | Bombardier Recreational Products: Encyclopedia II - All-terrain vehicle - Development of ATVs Honda made the first three-wheeled ATV in 1970, and were famously portrayed in the James Bond movie, "Diamonds are Forever". Dubbed the US90 and, later, the ATC90, it was designed purely for recreational use. It featured large balloon tires instead of a mechanical suspension. By the early 1980s, suspension and lower-profile tires were introduced. The 1982 Honda ATC200E Big Red was a landmark model. It featured both suspension and racks, making it the first utility three-wheeled ATV. The ability to go anywhere on terrain that most other vehic ...

| | | | Bombardier Recreational Products: Encyclopedia II - Outboard motor - General uses Outboard motors for a boat are developed as a self-contained unit with engine, subsidiary systems, and propeller, designed to be mounted at the stern (rear) of the craft. They are the most common method of propelling small watercraft.
As well as providing propulsion, outboards provide steering control, as they are designed to pivot over their mountings and thus control the orientation of the propeller. The transmission leg in the water also acts as a rudder ...

| | | | Bombardier Recreational Products: Encyclopedia II - Personal water craft - Non-recreational uses Although most personal water craft are purchased by individuals for recreational use, they are also used for more serious purposes. Personal water craft are small, easily handled, fairly easy to use, affordable, and their propulsion systems, which do not have external propellers, are safer for swimmers and wildlife. For these reasons, they are sometimes used in preference to small motorboats.
Lifeguards in some areas use personal watercraft to rescue water users who get into difficulties, equipped with rescue platforms to carry people back to shore.
Personal ...

| | | | Bombardier Recreational Products: Encyclopedia II - All-terrain vehicle - Criticisms of ATVs Since the early 1990s, ATV use has tripled across the United States. This has led to greater conflict between ATV users and child-safety advocates, rural landowners, fellow outdoor recreationists and environmentalists.
All-terrain vehicle - Safety Issues.
In general, 4 or more wheeled ATVs are universally accepted as being inherently safer compared to 3-wheeled ATVs. However, despite the move from 3-wheel to 4-wheel models, some deaths and injuries still occur. Focus has shifted since the Consent Decree to ...

| | | | Bombardier Recreational Products: Encyclopedia II - Outboard motor - History and developments The first practical outboard motor was created by Norwegian-American inventor Ole Evinrude in 1909.
Historically, most outboards have used two-stroke cycle engines due to their simplicity (and consequent reliability), low cost, and high power-to-weight ratios - weight issues being particularly important as too much weight over the stern of boats tends to impede their handling. However, the high emissions, and thus both environmental concerns and the cost of technology to meet emissions standards, has led to the gradual gain in popular ...
