ANTONOV AN-70

AN-70An-70 medium — range cargo (operational-tactical military transport) aircraft of the new generation of short take-off and landing. Antonov an-70 intended to replace the obsolete An-12. Performed on the aerodynamic configuration vintoventilyatorny four-engine turboprop high-wing monoplane with single-finned tail and tail cargo hatch.

The development of military transport aircraft (MTC) An-70began in 1986 After seven years of tactical and technical requirements specified, wherein, based on the need to transport a medium tank, the maximum capacity of the machine increased up to 47 T. the Peculiarity of the aircraft were four gas-turbine engine with coaxial propeller-fans and fly-by-wire control system. In the aircraft design is widely used composite materials.

COLOR SOUND

COLOR SOUNDThis attachment attaches to a regular television properties, a musical installation by changing the color of the image, respectively, the acoustic sound signal. When using the TV picture when speaking of the audience changes the color color.

Another use of the prefix is a color support of music programs with the aim of increasing their entertainment. Color television image will vary depending on the frequency and amplitude of the music signal. So, instead of blue and red appears green and green color changes to blue. Instead of crimson shade appear purple or brown. Patches of white telesurgery acquire pink tones. There are many different color combinations.

HYPERSONIC FALCON HTV-2

HYPERSONIC FALCON HTV-2The US will experience world’s fastest plane.

The US will experience in a real flight the world’s fastest aircraft, capable of speeds 20 times the speed of sound. The way from new York to Los Angeles, usually takes more than five hours on this machine takes only 12 minutes and from London to Sydney – less than an hour.

If successful, the trials will be possible to speak about the approaching era of passenger suborbital space travel between different points of the planet – like in science fiction books and movies. But the main purpose of the test is not civil and military.

SLOTTED TRACK…

SLOTTED TRACK...Covering garden paths and access roads to cottage country or area it is advisable to do so in order to preserve the turf and to minimize the cares of paths.

For this purpose is the best fit (recommends that the Hungarian magazine”, Earmaster”) slotted track of concrete slabs (Fig.1). They can make their own using a simple form of self-Assembly. Thus can be achieved that the plates will be similar to factory direct: easy to use, sturdy, but cheaper. Cracks the finished coating must be filled with earth and sown with grass seed. Thus, green square footage is not materially reduced, and on the tracks will not gather rainwater or melt water.

YAK-7 and its modifications, the YAK-7, YAK-7A, YAK-7B.

In March 1940 the Yakovlev design Bureau received an official assignment for the development of training aircraft on the basis of a fighter-26 (later Yak-1). But the design AND-27 (UTI-26) began even before that – on the 25th of January. From fighter aircraft training aircraft featured twin cockpit, closed with a total lamp with individual sliding parts.

SOUND SONAR TO HELP BLIND PEOPLE

SOUND OF SONAR TO HELP BLIND PEOPLERecently, we often see prototypes or concepts of the devices based on the use of cutting-edge technologies and the latest achievements of science, by which blind people and people with sight disabilities gain the opportunity to “see” the environment
The closest to mass production of such a device is a device Virtual Cane, which using the principle of sound sonar, allows its users to “see” physical objects at a distance up to 10 meters. The device is composed of a emitter, which emits a stream of inaudible sound waves that are reflected from objects and carry back information about the size and the distance to the object. The system informs the user of the vibration oscillations, the frequency and intensity of which depends on the size and distance of the object.

FIELD MACHINE

FIELD CARDream-the idea of making a car, even simple, like buggy, appeared in his teenage years, when machines were in short supply. But for many UNDERSTANDABLE reasons (had neither the experience nor the tool nor the means) she could not at that time be done — and ended only with drawings on paper. Over the years the opportunity came to build, and the boyish idea has revived in my mind. On the profile of their work by this time, I’m already quite versed in the device of conventional cars, which helped me during the implementation of the project.

Our dictionaries, even technical, somehow paid attention to this type of machines is buggy. But with the current accessibility to Internet resources was not difficult to see and understand what constitutes a real cross sports or recreational vehicles called “buggy”, which translated to English means “bug” or “flea”. And in fact — this is the machine for driving off-road over rough terrain or desert the coast.
