The Chaplygin sleigh is a classical mechanics problem that involves a type of rigid body motion. Named after the Russian mathematician Sergey A. Chaplygin, this problem features a sleigh or a rigid body that can rotate and translate, characterized by an unusual initial condition that makes it an interesting case in the study of dynamics.
