Experimental aircraft D-558-I. In late 1944 the Douglas firm received an order to develop an experimental aircraft with a turbojet engine. The main goal of this project was to obtain information about the aerodynamic loads, stability and controllability of the aircraft at transonic speeds. These data were to complement the information obtained in the course of implementation of the programme of tests of a supersonic aircraft X-1. In accordance with the specification developed by NACA (national Advisory Committee for Aeronautics) the aircraft was to take off from the aerodrome, to gain height from 6000 to 10,600 m, within 10 minutes to fly at transonic speeds and then return to the airfield.
MILL ON THE TRACK
A simple device developed by members of the self-similar circle of Ufa city Palace of children’s creativity, shoal be useful to many tracks. It makes it very easy to create a miniature race track for sea trials models. We have seen this, having tried it, in fact: “digging,” grooves on a track is accelerated many times over.ALWAYS AT HAND
While working on podmostjah you need a hammer — you have to go after him, and after? Again to descend, to put in place. But soon he again had to jump back and forth, attach to the side of the trestle bracket under the instrument — and it will always be at hand.
SAUNA FOR BEES
Almost twenty years of experience in the design obsut Chernihiv circle of agricultural modeling. Over the years the students under the guidance of their mentors have designed and built many useful machines, mechanisms and devices, many of which have economic value and bring real benefits to the collective field. One of such devices — a device for the thermal treatment tick bees.UNIVERSAL POWER SUPPLY
Every radio Amateur knows that without a source of constant and alternating stresses of different magnitudes in practical work is not enough. He needed to establish radiocontrole, repair equipment, charge batteries, test the motors and relays, to conduct physical experiments. All this is possible to do with a universal power supply, which we offer to the readers.
YARD “DRYER” FOR CLOTHES
Any owner confirms that the washing out, dried on the street, gets the smell of freshness, not an example of this, when moisture from the Laundry evaporated in a special apparatus (devices) or simply indoors. Many times this smell is enhanced by weathering of underwear in the cold, and especially when freezing.Po-2 (U-2)
Training U-2 aircraft – single-engine biplane of wooden construction with fixed landing gear, was designed at the factory number 1 in Moscow under the leadership of H. H. Polikarpov. His first version took off in the beginning of 1927, the Basis for the series was the second option, took to the air July 1, 1928IF YOU HAVE A RUNNY NOSE…
In this case doctors usually recommend to warm up the area of nose and the bridge of the nose with bags of hot sand or a medical reflector. But here’s the problem: the bag has to hold hands and to periodically change the sand cooled and the heat from the reflector heats not only the nose but the whole face, and even the light from the lamp is blinding. Heating pads, too uncomfortable — too big. But perhaps the most significant drawback of all mentioned devices is the inability to smoothly adjust the heating temperature.
SECOND LIFE ANTI-AIRCRAFT “LIZARD”
The story began during the Second world war. The command of the Wehrmacht, faced at the first stage of hostilities with a large number of Soviet light armored vehicles – tanks BT, T-60, T-70 and armored vehicles, and with our attacking aircraft, especially with the armored attack aircraft Il-2, decided to supply the troops of the 30-mm gun of high destructive power and long range of fire. According to the plan, such weapons must be effective to act on the objects directly on the battlefield, but also at air targets.
AVTOKRANA
Amateur constructors of boats, yachts, cars often face the problem: how to get the curve on the big plane? Enough to install on a building berth vertical panel, the edges of which drive a couple of nails — that’s all in the preparation. Nails freely hung a fine chain or a soft wire: proviso, they Read more…
