Also the radiator is plastic and has a tendency to crack. An all aluminum unit costs about $1000, plus install.

No, it would just come out dry. The only reason the water bounces is because it has energy from falling from the dropper. A ship made from this would float like normal.

You can fly with trim and rudder, bro.

I remember seeing this video for the first time, and I still wonder how he managed to fuck up that hard.

One generally lands in a high crosswind environment with extra speed. It gives the control surfaces extra authority. I was taught to land in a stiff crosswind with only two notches of flaps instead of three.

This comment has made me chortle.

When in doubt, flat out.

How is that even possible though? I mean, even if it isn't your favourite game, it's one of the definitive driving games, period. It's what made me a petrolhead, that's for sure.

Really? Never heard of the R390? Did you never play Gran Turismo?

Tyler and Paul's posts tend to attract us, haha.

Maybe my school taught how to do a crosswind landing differently, but I watched a pro Caravan pilot do a side slip in to land.

There's nothing special you have to do to crab a plane in a crosswind. As long as you're flying coordinated, you're going to crab if the wind is anywhere except directly off the nose or directly off the tail. Landing in a crosswind in a Cessna or the like is different, because you don't land a Cessna with a crab, you

Well, flying a plane sideways is a lot easier than driving a car sideways. Crabbing a plane is just what happens when you're flying in a crosswind.

They have to do it to get the plane as light as practical. You don't want excess weight when you're missing 25% of your loadbearing equipment.

No, these are not tactical. They are strategic. Tactical means that it is being used in a protracted war, more or less directly. See: tactical nukes. If one of these launches, the war is already over.

Did you like...read the article? The railcars will look like normal refer cars. Satellites won't be able to see it until it's deploying. It's not a tactical solution, either. It doesn't need to get to any specific point to fire. It just needs to not be in a tunnel.

Well, the thing is, we can't knock out every mile of their railway. A break in the tracks won't stop this from operating, it'll just keep it operating on one side of the break. Once the launch is complete, its job is done, there won't be any reloading and firing again. This is not a tactical system.

Actually, it probably is. Those motors are pretty hard to kill. And if you do happen to kill it, a new motor would probably cost less than the maintenance on that V12 would be.

You're right? Why would someone want to put an incredibly reliable motor with a huge aftermarket in a car that didn't really have...either of those things? Last I checked, the tuner scene for Aston Martins isn't very large. Or existent.
