This right here. This is a nuclear ramjet. That's right girls and boys, a jet engine powered by an open-core, completely unshielded nuclear reactor. It was intended to be put in the "Project Pluto" missile, which would drop several hydrogen bombs on the USSR before auguring into a major city. Because nuking a city…
Well, with Maldonado driving one, we'll learn pretty quick about the crash performance of the new nose.
Yes, a full year ago (at least in the US). Laptops have to be stowed for takeoff and landing, but everything can be used whenever you want.
Any sales process that involves haggling means the seller is a crook. Period. They are trying to sell it to you for higher than the market price, or they would just offer the market price to begin with. And then when they try to use their ill-gotten gains to make potential competitors illegal, that's just textbook…
Why return it? Russia says they didn't send it, so clearly they don't want it back. Put in a museum in Stockholm. Out may be on a plinth right outside the Russian embassy...
2 Me-262 (the first operational jet fighter) kills? That alone makes this a notable airframe.
Kinda. The X-37B (the Air Force vehicle) uses hydrazine for fuel, which besides being toxic, is also highly carcinogenic. Thus the suits to keep the USAF personnel from all coming down with lung cancer. The original NASA version (X-37A) was to have used non-toxic (but explosive) high-test Hydrogen Peroxide, but USAF…
Wow, America. Where we spend such ridiculous money on the military that we have two entirely different types of aircraft carriers. And people complain that that is not enough.
No, this is Marussia. They have a good driver in one of the shit cars, and a shit driver whose daddy owns the team in the other shit car. Rossi has just replaced Bianci as the good driver.
Except hydraulic hybrids are not really cheap or efficient. High-pressure hydraulic hybrids require even more maintenance than a conventional diesel truck, and even then make a very inefiicient vehicle into a somewhat inefficient vehicle. An electric truck would draw nearly all its power off the mains (at a tiny…
Annnnnd this is why people call the police pigs. Steal money from people not convicted of anything and then use it buy military weapons to oppress the populace. Brilliant.
How to slogan: "Velocitas Eradico"
And where are they going to get the magical money to pay for such things? Airport authorities are always broke, and can barely keep up with things they actually need (like air conditioned jetways at PHX), let alone frivolities like preparing for tornadoes in Phoenix (that only occur every few decades). You have the…
How else are you going to tow a car that's parallel parked between two others?
Welcome to Paul Thompson's Death Trap of the Week!
Congratulations, that is most 80's thing I have seen all month.
Homemade mounting point for a snowplow.
Yep. Although it's worth noting that the Nissan Leaf is up 34% and the Tesla Model S is up 47%.
I love how one of the selling points is that there are Ford dealerships everywhere, for when the Falcon inevitably breaks down...
I don't think the car-buying public needs any convincing that car dealers are anything but blood sucking parasites on society.
