I put a deposit down on one, the salesmen at the dealership weren’t even allows to drive the one they had in.

I believe the Navy has found this to be quite effective:

That Napier-Railton is beautiful. UNG! The want is strong.

Right, I was thinking the same thing. Thank god it’s not vertical.

Who showed up on multiple waves...

My personal favorite is the Weinermobile flying through the corkscrew at Laguna Seca.

Personally, I feel that aerial surveillance is much better suited to UASs. However, a conceptual replacement to the SR-71 would be much more awesome as a hypersonic SSTO aircraft. Granted, Shul’s 35 miles per minute velocity that he quoted is only like 12% of orbital velocity but it’s definitely something to work with…

While I don’t really do any serious gaming (I play KSP on my laptop) I’m curious about how it will affect performance. Win10 is supposed to be less resource heavy than previous versions, or I've been under that impression at least. Will you be able to provide any validity to this?

Feel no shame for a long post. I found it interesting.

Just a note on Jack Roush’s crash. I read the investigation report after it was released and while the official cause of the crash is listed as “pilot error”, that is not the whole story. He was instructed to land on a particular runway as another aircraft was taking off from the same runway. This is common practice…

It’s always disappointing to crash out. It’s even more disappointing to have something you think can finish but can’t.

One of my favorite “reality” series was Long Way Round. It had many of these aspects. Granted, they had a pretty good sized budget for it but when it was just the 3 guys in the middle of Mongolia, no amount of money short of having your own fleet of aircraft was going to make it turn out differently. It was relatable,…

Sad times we live in. A guy I went to college with is hugely anti-government and makes statements like that all the time. The way he talks about government agencies makes me want to ask “so you’re telling me that the Fish and Wildlife Service should be abolished because people will just do all of the things the…

I was going to say something about using bird shot but I decided that I didn’t want to complicate my comment. I agree though, if you’re going to try, bird shot is your best choice of ammo.

Believe it or not, there are government agencies that whose legitimate intentions are to make things better for the American people. Unless you’re completely anti-government, in which case, never mind, it’s not worth discussing.

“Shooting at aircraft also poses a significant safety hazard,” says Les Dorr, FAA spokesperson. “An unmanned aircraft hit by gunfire could crash, causing damage to persons or property on the ground, or it could collide with other objects in the air.” And, of course, it could also “result in criminal or civil charges.”

It does the same thing as water and methanol injection except with a fuel. Sure, you’re over-fueling a bit but running close to stoichiometric fuel:air ratios will do that regardless of your fuel type. Even with closed-loop feedback fuel control, it’s hard to get fuel:air ratio perfect plus the fuel burn is never…

Goldeneye was good (Sean Bean as a shadowy double agent bad guy? more please) but the Pierce Brosnan era of Bond suffered from the same issues as the Roger Moore era of Bond, it was too gadgety and too focused on what cool gadgets Bond could use to save himself. I’ve always liked James Bond so that’s just my opinion…

They use propane to cool the intake charge, it would still run on diesel and it would still smoke under high load.

I used to calculate delta v while building simple ships but I have gotten to the point where Kerbal Engineer saves me a ton of time.
