Don't understand that video, back in reply 2048, Musk says two moving fins and a smaller fixed one doesn't he ?

Yesterday I was discussing SpaceX with my son and the subject came up about why SpaceX reverted to stainless steel for Starship. I told him some ceramic tiles are to be used and I came on the forum to show him the photo of Dragon with some experimental tiles attached to it which is in the...

And then there were three ---- Airbus pulls out. https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/airbus-canada-fighters-1.5265665

I had opened this thread a few times without leaving a reply and what I explain, would happen, since I left a reply the auto message doesn't appear now once I'm logged in.

Before I moved to Canada, I lived in Poole Dorset in the UK. An area near where I worked there was called Hamworthy which was on the west side of Holes Bay, part of Poole Harbour. A developer built a whole neighbourhood around there close to the water on marshland, the houses were all built on...

Those drawings can be found in the two-volume book set I quoted further up. Now I just need to find where I read the additional info from, it doesn't seem to be in these two books.

Despite what I've read somewhere, I think I'll have to retract what I've said. Looking at the technical drawings in Volume 1 of the two book set and looking at some photos of 7-bomb clips installed in the Victor bomb bay, I don't think it's possible for 10-bomb clips to go in there with the way...

I'd have to re-read the books I have to find where I read about it. The bomb clips were interchangeable throughout the V-Bombers, so if the arrangement fit in one type then it fitted in the others, so I've read. The video is the first time I've seen any sort of pictures of the 10-bomb...

Part of the article I read on MSN says the researchers think that the locals might have been disposing the bodies there over the hundreds of years.

I've got a two volume set called The Handley Page Victor, the history & development of a classic jet by Roger R. Brooks, Pen & Sword Aviation. Lots of info and drawings in there. sferrin, the last piece of that video shows a 10-bomb clip being loaded. It's the first time I've seen evidence of...

I've read that the Victor could carry five of those 10-bomb clips, plus two 5-bomb clips in each wing pannier pods

Well look at it this way, Trump wonders if they could buy Greenland, just about every Danish politician comes up with some stupid remark about him, including their PM, so Trump cancels his trip there. Then they're all surprised about it --- I'm surprised Trump didn't cancel even sooner.

An article I read in Air-Britain's AeroMilitaria back in 2016, was of a RAF proposal for the Viggen. Three version were offered, a Spey powered version, an Olympus powered version, and a twin engined powered version using RB.193. There was a set of 3-views with the article. It doesn't mention...

Interesting calculation and I think I've got the gist of it, electricity and like not being my strongest subject. But it left me wondering how much power that is, so googled it. What I found for comparison, was what my house would use which was on average 130GJ --- in a year. The calculation...

Would that be with their 'usual' method of learning --- :D

I saw the auto message and visited the thread after I logged in. The auto message remains after that, the only difference it says my username instead of guest. By leaving a post here will the auto message now not appear again, I did use the 'X' button to close it down but it still comes back.

I think if V.D. spent some time in either the ProjectTech Profiles and the Bookshelf and Marketplace sections, he might be amazed to find just how many of the membership actually have the books he keeps mentioning ----

Because, not everyone here bothers with Twitter, Farcebook or any of the other so called 'social media' platforms. Besides, doesn't posts in twitter disappear after a few days, I thought I read that somewhere.

Cripes, it was built in 1830 --- I think you've got your money's worth out of it. Time for a replacement I think ---

Having just read the latest news on the A321NEO, that Airbus has discovered it has the same pitch-up problem, wouldn't a better hardware fix be redesigning the engine nacelle ?
