#vehicle dynamics

• Wheelbase — The horizontal geometric distance measured between the centerlines of the extreme front and rear axles or wheels of a vehicle (car, truck, locomotive). This fundamental structural design parameter directly influences directional stability, maneuverability, turning radius, axle weight distribution, and the useful volume of the vehicle's interior cabin.
• Anti-squat — Preventing or mitigating pitch-up or front-end lift (the tendency of a vehicle or aircraft to lift its front during acceleration or takeoff); a technical device or structural suspension geometry designed to maintain stability along the longitudinal axis. In automotive and aeronautical engineering, this effect guarantees optimal tire-to-ground contact and prevents loss of aerodynamic control.
