Being a steel fabricator by trade, making tube structures like that was the norm'. I've built numerous structural trusses and joists out of large diameter pipe like that.

The main problem with the Atlantic as all the concept drawings and diagrams I've seen show, is the front spar which protrudes above the cabin floor. This spar is about a 3rd of the way down the fuselage from the front, and effectively prevents the aircraft being used as a transport using cargo...

Yeah, that was me Evan, I'm still working on it but it's a long-term project at the moment. Robert

As I explained further up the thread, I was in contact with Mike Meehan who worked on the brochure for the Atlantic. What he told me was that there had been some erroneous information published and when I told Tony Buttler that, he asked for Mike's contact address, which I gave him. I'm not...

That's what I surmised Harro but good that someone else has come to the same conclusion.

It's interesting to note, just where the above cutaway shows the engine location. But in the cutaway diagram from Flight that I've attached here, it shows them much further back in the wing.

One day I'll get this built, I've got all the parts to make the model

After looking at electromagnet diagrams of trains and such, which do go around curves and up and down gradients, I could see the shuttle built in, say, three short parts, which are joined by a hinge pins. This would allow the shuttle to "bend" as it travels the curved section of the ramp. The...

If I understand the concept correctly, the track could go straight up the ramp then ---

It looks like a mobile dog-house used for geo-surveying

If the RN went with a catapult, are they considering the electromagnet type ?

Thanks Dragon

Following this thread, I've got the impression that this Starship would land on another world, stay for a while, then take off again to return to Earth. I imagine there won't be an army of engine techies on hand to service the engine and such, so the engines have to work as advertised when the...

Considering it looks like it's pretty well finished --- why all of a sudden is it mysterious. I used to work at an airport looking after contractors who did panel replacements, new taxiways and aprons so I have a good idea how long it takes to do something like this, what has been done would...

Aaw! and I thought I had an original idea

But the Freighter tandem concept would make an interesting model build -----

But would it matter, just been looking at the specifications of both V-22 empty 31,818lb V-280 empty 33,069lb V-22 Max TOW 55,000lb V-280 Max TOW 57,320lb

Would the GE38 have to be modified to operate vertically, if they go with the same engine architecture of the V-280? I'd have thought just a new gearbox to handle the additional power

Chris Gibson's book 'Nimrod's Genesis' would give a good clue as to why a Sea Harrier would be dropping a nuke. And for the Sidewinders, some submarines had a missile self defense system.

At last ---- :D and they nailed the landing too ---
