...By copying the Russians. Seriously though, they're using a version of the Sukhoi SU-30. Export Russian military hardware. They put a airstrip on the deck of a ship with a shitty ski ramp at the end (what everyone was doing in WWII before they figured out catapults) and rely on the expertise of Sukhoi to get a jet…

People who compare automotive manufacture quality to aircraft manufacture quality have no experience in either.
That's where the dead hookers go. The Dartz has the capacity to conveniently carry up to 7 dead hookers concealed in the bodywork. I appreciate their choice in promotional photographs that show the Dartz performing real world activities.
YES! I was going to suggest the B series engines as well. Miata, once again, is always the answer. Let's not forget that this engine also came in the Ford Escort, Mercury Tracer, Mazda Familia (323, Protege), Kia Sephia, MX-3, and Ford Capri just to name a few.
+1 I worked in Powertrain, among other places, when I was in aircraft and I can say with absolute certainty that "modern" piston aircraft engines are absolute shit compared to modern auto engines. 6:1 compression ratio, 100 octane leaded fuel, twin spark plugs, HOW ARE YOU STILL HAVING PREIGNITION PROBLEMS?!
Can we be internet friends? I agree with you 100%. My first job in aircraft was kind of bullshit. It went on my résumé as "experience" but I learned more from talking to the other engineers and mechanics and randomly searching the drawing database than I did in my actual job.
I realize this is a joke but I want to throw a comment in since I have a little bit of experience in the matter and I would just like to share.
One of my favorite movies. Love Mel Brooks.
I'm sure that if this trend holds true, it will get blamed on broke-ass car-hating Millennials in the media, but I think it has more to do with people just recognizing a good value when they see it.
Serious question: is it space worthy?
Check out my comment to 101logicnotfounderror about arguing with experts.
Funny how few people believe experts. A friend of mine used to run GM's engine test center, the guy knew engines inside and out, GM engines even better. He literally (not figuratively as people tend to use that word) saw 1000s of engines go through his facility for various testing: performance, life cycle, emissions,…
Ford will unveil its next-generation 2015 Mustang on December 5 with simultaneous events in Michigan, Shanghai, Sydney, Barcelona, New York and Los Angeles. The model is slated to go on sale next summer. "They will want to see it for the first time being sold in those markets," he said in an interview. "That will have…
Because there's no point in going big unless you're going to go really big:
The H2 is basically just a Tahoe, H1 could at least do something cool with it's fully independent suspension, drop hubs, and absurd ground clearance.
I used to work at Beech. McConnell's landing pattern occasionally goes right over the top of Beech Field, that's how close together they are.
You're thinking of OPOC.
Correct, both Porsche and Nissan make stout engines that make good power. It's all about mass flow rate for making power. For a given displacement, the easiest way is forced induction, which is what Porsche and Nissan do. Another way is to rev higher which can cause reliability problems.
Honda has been traditionally good with making good motors that make good power. As far as the turbo thing goes, I think that was kind of a must for this type of car. You would really have to rev the crap out of a 3.5L V6 (not that this engine size and configuration isn't subject to change) to get it to make the kind…
