forward drop

The obsolete lamp and reflector system in the light was replaced by a Forward drop lens in 1856, which was more efficient.

Diodes (measuring forward drop of diode junctions), and transistors (measuring current gain and other parameters)

Since the Schottky diode had a lower forward drop than the transistor PN junction, the transistor did not saturate and the undesirable delay time was eliminated.

The blade's distinctive forward drop is intended to act as a weight on the end of the blade and make the kukri fall on the enemy faster and with more power.
