4. A set of limits for the performance capabilities of some
type of machine, originally used to refer to aircraft; --

push the envelope. It is used to refer to the maximum
performance available at the current state of the
technology, and therefore refers to a class of machines in
general, not a specific machine.

of machine or system; -- usually by technological
development.
