Aerosleigh
Definition
A large self-propelled vehicle, mounted on steel runners or special skis, structurally designed to move at high speed over vast surfaces covered with snow or ice. The propulsion of this unit is provided by an internal combustion engine coupled to an aerodynamic propeller (similar to that of an airplane), being used primarily in Arctic regions or in isolated mountain rescue missions.
