Contact and non contact forces are big factors to consider
in designing of different modes of transportation because this factors are
resistances for the mode of transportation. These contact and non- contact
forces should be minimized in order for the energy requirement to be also
minimum. But not the extent of risking the safety, for example a non contact
force is the wieght, the should be optimum, safety of the design should not be
compromised just to reduce weight, just like by removing essential parts,
support just to remove weight is not good.
