"For the initial part of the braking, say down to around 70 knots, we let the autobrakes do the job, but after that we have to come onto the toe brakes to disengage the autobrake," Brady says. Accordingly, at the outset, the pilot flying doesn't step on the top of the rudder pe...
Basic wheelbarrows don't have brakes. They're stopped by your human actions, which means that you don't want to try to pull a wheelbarrow.Always push it soyou're not in the way if you're unable to stop it. One way to maintain control and have the ability to stop the wheelbarrow i...
The engine is the work of British jet experts at Heward Microjet, who make engines for unmanned craft such as military spy planes. THE LUGE The body of the luge is made out of a kayak hull. It took five weeks to build and cost [pounds sterling]1,000. The initial design is carved ...
Larger panniers at the front would also be at risk of hitting the down-tube of the bike (or even the ground) when turning sharply, or interfering with disc brakes. Rear panniers tend to have about twice the capacity; around 20–30 litres each (ie: 40–60 litres per pair). Tandem ...
The planes have auto-throttle and auto-brakes too. The pilots do provide inputs to the autopilot so it knows what to do, but it would be very simple to automate this, if it hasn’t already been done. I believe the autopilot could takeoff and land the plane too, but that is not ...
Explore Oahu from below…100 feet below the surface!TheAtlantis Submarine Ridewill take you beyond Waikiki’s outer reefs where you travel along the bottom of the ocean to view sunken boats and old crashed planes that have become a part of the underwater seascape. ...
A ferry driver finds out too late that boats do not have brakes. The London bus ripped to shreds. See the clever lady protester and her anti-George Bush sign. And people wonder why the left does not persuade ordinary voters... Finally, you can read a good bullshit story: How to scor...
This is your fault. Well, maybe not yours in particular, but over the years enough people have told me I should write down whatever story I was telling them, I’ve decided to do it. Perhaps I am ill-advised. No matter. Bad advice often leads to interesti
I am pretty new to these planes, but after doing a couple kits and a couple scratch builds, I decided to do scratch out a Spitfire and am currently doing a F4F-Wildcat. I have been a "slave to scale" and have pretty much built these warbird flat plate foamies true to scale, except...
When talking about flow over the wing, however, far more relevant to its function is the turbulence in the wing boundary layer, which on most modern planes, is turbulent nearly 100% of the time. sophiecentaur said: Exactly. I wish people would see that this is very relevant and...
