DWARFS THE WHEEL OF THE KINGDOM

DWARFS THE WHEEL OF THE KINGDOMWas close on the streets of big cities in many countries. Cars almost RUB against each other. The speed of the traffic flow often barely exceeds walking speed. But just watch — in a multi-bed machine sitting often only one driver, in the best case in society only passenger. The other places are empty. Then, maybe, you need to reduce the machine dimensions to one double-minicar, freeing up additional space on the streets thousands more like them?

It turns out that no trails of cars people here do not easy, moreover, often have to travel entirely off-road (e.g. forest wood) — recorded directly on virgin soil. However, the acquisition of a snowmobile, not everyone can afford, even the not-so-expensive—simple. So we have those who are able to make a machine with their hands, designing it according to your project under those parts that the craftsman. The snowmobile, which, the story goes, I was not the first (see “modelist-Konstruktor” No. 11 for 2004).

GLIDER-GYROPLANE “BUMBLEBEE”

GLIDER-GYROPLANE The design and construction of the “Bumblebee” creative team “Rise” was based on microalloy design V. Barkovsky, V. Vinitsky and Y. Rysuke described in “MK” (see: 1969, № 6, 1970, № 3, 1970, № 10 and 1971, No. 6). This well made and for the first time in the country is stable flying machine of this class was exhibited at the Central exhibition NTTM 74 and was awarded a silver medal VDNH. Schematic diagram, basic dimensions and technology are critical components of microstoria differ little from those recommended in these articles, so we will consider only the scheme of “Bumblebee” in three dimensions and focus on the changes that have been made in the process of finishing and flight testing of the apparatus. Outset: we had the opportunity to use a number of ready-made components and parts from decommissioned planes and helicopters, which, on the one hand, some changed the look of our machine, and with another — has greatly facilitated the work: eliminated many labor-intensive operations, used aircraft normal, good fasteners, and so on.

THE PLANE FOR VICTIMS OF PRESSURE OR VERY LAZY…

THE PLANE FOR VICTIMS OF PRESSURE OR VERY LAZY...I think many know the situation: you come home from work – totally exhausted and again, eyes clinging to the instrument on the shelf and the “sticks” hanging on the wall since last year. Automatically then I remember that the season has long been opened and begin a frenzy to finish the plane… eyes, lying on the couch. However, this does not last too long. Comes a real enthusiasm and somewhere there is immeasurable energy. But… for some reason it always occurs exactly at the end of the season. And when more than half of the super-model is ready, a bad weather, the rains, snow and other delights associated with autumn. The plane is just so desirable again “hangs” on the wall.
