The control on an engine that increases or decreases its speed.
A hand device for regulating the speed of your engine.
To decrease the supply of propellant to an engine, reducing thrust. Liquid propellant rocket engines can be throttled; solid rocket motors cannot.
A lever in the cockpit that adjusts the engine's speed.
The equivalent of the gas peddle / accelerator in a car. It regulates the flow of petrol to the engine.
Speed is changed and controlled through the use of a throttle. Most scooters are hand throttle controlled; with either a twist (motorcycle style) or thumb (ATV, Jet Ski style) controller.
The control that determines the speed of rotation of the engine's crankshaft in revolutions per minute (or in the Learjet, the percentage of available power applied to the engines) by the rate at which it permits fuel to flow.
The speed control of the locomotive; in the model world, a potentiometer controlling a voltage regulator.
The control used by a hovercraft pilot to increase or decrease engine speed.
In an engine, the throttle is the mechanism by which the engine's power is increased or decreased. Throttle may refer to both the part inside the engine which directly regulates the fuel flow, or the human controls (pedal, lever, electronic) outside the engine compartment that the operator uses to control an engine's power.
