And yet we used them throughout an aircraft.

US Govt: We’re not happy until you’re not happy.

That guy sure like to say NACA, but I bet he has no clue what it stood for.

The liberal tree hugging environmental wackos in California took the 10 HP. This is why companies like Hennessey builds 49 state legal cars, guess which state is left out. Guess which state won’t let you import a foreign car because it won’t meet state emission requirements. So the big car makers will make sure their…

CVT’s are banned in F1 for a reason.

It did work except when the door opens in a collision, then you get ejected from the car.

My take is still to just flat out ban telemetry. Teams can’t help if they don’t know what is going on.

I was considering a V70R when back then, but the turning circle that was worse than a Suburban was a deal breaker, one guy actually got stuck in one of those parking structures where it spirals up between floors. Plus all the issues they were having like the fuel pump.

Unfortunately the LGT wagon was the bastard child with Subaru USA. The 05 was the only year they did the manual wagons. I have an 05 wagon, but not manual.

Forest Service has an operational Vne (max speed) for a bambi bucket at 80 kts for helicopters. The military have done test with the MV-22 and set the Vne at 90 kts. So it doesn’t make a whole lot of difference.

Actually, you will see more surplus Blackhawks and Chinooks doing fire fighting. Some 700 are being sold from National Guard units to the surplus market. They will actually be more useful because all the military equipment will removed allowing it to carry more.

EPA wasn’t there because they were busy trying to defend themselves yesterday from the Flint fiasco. They weren’t looking too good from the internal emails.

I take it you never flown in the front seat of an airplane. Being able to see is extremely important. You are constantly scanning for other airplanes. By the time another airplane looks about the size of a quarter held at arm’s length, you are going oh crap.

FIA did test a F-16 canopy.

Ah the new politically correct Top Gear where no one gets offended, can’t say anything bad about anyone or anything. They probably won’t dare call Chris Harris, Monkey because it might offend someone.

Back in the days when aviation, in particular military aviation was all men, they found that a woman’s voice stood out more than a man’s voice. Men would not hear the male voices in the heat of battle. So that’s why it was mostly women’s voices for a while.

I like how they spread the rounds apart including the full auto burst towards the end to not show the weakness in armor.

Wouldn’t this scratch the plastic lens?

They tried it in F1, but with the high reving engine, the power required to move the valves was enormous. The performance gain was nullified by the additional power to drive the valves. The only gain was reduce vibration.

All helicopter rotor systems have to pass through its natural frequency before it gets up to its operating speed. That’s one way to cause that much vibration.
