Malcolm Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 A detailed specification was issued in June 1952 as Naval Staff Requirement NA. 39, calling for a two-seat aircraft with folding wings, capable of flying at Mach 0.85 at 200 ft (61 m), having a combat range of over 400 nmi (460 mi; 740 km), and carrying a nuclear weapon internally.

deicer Posted June 9 Author Share Posted June 9 f you needed an idea of the amount of flak the Germans put up against the paratroopers and gliders on D-Day, here’s Captain Thomas Francis Mantell Jr DFC C-47. `Vulture’s Delight' was a C-47 Glider tug assigned to the 96th Troop Carrier Squadron, despite the heavy damage and only having one engine, Mantell completed his mission and returned safely.

deicer Posted June 10 Author Share Posted June 10 In keeping with the D-Day anniversary, here is an archive photo of the valve-timing gears from the Bristol Hercules radial engine. This was a 14-cylinder two-row radial sleeve aero engine produced by the Bristol Engine Company starting in 1939. It powered the Bristol Beaufighter heavy fighter, and was commonly used on British bombers at the time. This engine was designed on drawing boards, using manual drawing instruments and 2D orthogonal projections. No 3D solids, no CAD simulations to check for geometric interference. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Specs Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 Thought for sure some of those boats were going to become submarines. And I had to laugh at the guy who lost one of his passengers - he was wearing an Ocean rescue shirt. I think some of those owners are like the guy taking beginners down a black diamond run with moguls. Little to no judgement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
