FF Jaro FF Jaro is a Finnish football club, based in the town of Pietarsaari. It currently plays in the Finnish Premier Division (Veikkausliiga). The club's manager is Hannu Touru, and it plays its home matches at Pietarsaaren keskuskenttä. (references)
FF layout In automobile design, an FF, or Front-engine, Front wheel drive, layout places both the engine and driven wheels at the front of the vehicle. This layout is typically chosen for its compact packaging - that is, it takes up very little space, allowing the rest of the vehicle to be designed more flexibly. In contrast with the FR layout, the FF layout eliminates the central tunnel needed to accommodate a driveshaft taking power to the rear wheels. Like the RR and MR layouts, it places the heavy engine over the drive wheels which aids traction. As the steered wheels are also the driven wheels, FF cars are far superior to FR cars in conditions such as snow. However, powerful cars rarely use the FF layout because weight transference under acceleration unloads the front wheels and reduces grip. As a rule of thumb 150hp is the limit for a FF car of average weight; electronic traction control can avoid wheelspin but largely negates the benefit of extra power. (references)
Jensen FF The Jensen FF was an all wheel drive GT car produced by the British manufacturer Jensen between 1966 and 1971. Preceding by far the Audi Quattro it was, the first non all-terrain production car equipped with all wheel drive, and an antilock braking system, the Dunlop Maxaret electro-mechanical system used hitherto only on aircraft or racing cars.

It was often replaced with the 20 mm Mg 151/20 during 1943 but saw a come-back as primary Schräge Musik gun in the Me 110 night fighters as it perfectly fits into the rear cockpit. (references)
Oerlikon FF The FF were a series of 20 mm autocannon introduced by Oerlikon in the late 1920s.

The FF series served as the inspiration for many World War II 20mm cannon, including the French, British and US Hispano-Suiza HS.404, the German MG FF, and the Japanese Type 99 cannon. (references)
