It's the same reason jet engines can go further than rockets on the same weight of fuel: The jet is taking half its "fuel" from the surrounding air. And just like with jets and rockets, the reason not all batteries are zinc air batteries is that you can't get as much instantaneous ...
The development of the Tiger tank reflected this change in circumstances. It was a heavy tank type originally designed for effecting breakthroughs in enemy lines as part of theschwerpunkt. The days of big advances, however, were over, and the Tigers had to adapt to a more defensive role for ...
I had to add oil to the car today. It leaks it or something. It does not seem to burn it. I think Honda has a problem with the lower seal on these engines. Therre is not much I can do about it unless I want to rebuild it. I don’t really want to rebuild it. But that mea...
Headquartered in Tempe, Arizona, it is the largest low-cost airline in the United States. US Airways has a fleet of 360 mainline jet aircraft and 352 "express" (regional jet and turbo-prop) aircraft connecting 240 destinations in North America, Central America, the Caribbean, Hawaii, and Eur...
These planes have the engines strapped to their backside. Some people rave about them, as the idea (back in the days of really noisy engines) was that its quieter for passengers in the expensive seats at the front. Very true, but if you're late at check in you'll get the window ...

The only noise being a slight hum at the inverter/controller and noise of water passing through valves and the irrigator. So going solar has improved our social license to operate. Wildlife also benefits, especially bats that use echo location- noisy diesel engines operating at night can affect...
in-line aero engines. They also featured refinements such as retractable undercarriages, fully enclosed cockpits and low drag, all metal wings (all introduced on civil airliners years before, but slow to be adopted by the military who favoured the simplicity and manoeuvrability of the biplane)...
Warbirds are known to be among the fastest propeller-driven planes ever built. There are several different types of warbirds such as the Fighter, Trainer, Bomber, Jet, Transports, Utility, etc. These divisions of warbirds can then be broken down by manufacturer. Some examples of different manufa...
but it lacks an easy way to get to it. Rivals offer various types of steps and trick tailgates to maximize access. Toyota offers none of that. When you hear that the new Tundra is available with a hybrid, you might think of great fuel economy. Well, get that thought out of your head...
