The document introduces the topic of transportation technology and discusses some of its key areas including aerodynamics, aeronautics, rocket engineering, and mechanics. It notes that transportation technology deals with delivering goods over land, water, air and space quickly and efficiently. The document also lists the main forces involved in transportation systems, such as propulsion, breaking, control/steering, suspension, and guiding systems.

4. • Before we start, please think?
• where would you want to
go/travel?
• how you want to travel there?
• what you want to bring?
• Please write down some ideas
with a friend
