And I thought “Torschlußpanik” meant panic induced by another piece from Jason Torchinsky obssessing over some obscure VW trivia...

Aircraft do not use regular HVAC hardware. Air is provided by the turbofan compressor stage.

Not long enough. Bring back the Catalina for extreme long duration flights (bonus points for absolutely no in-flight entertainement and bare minimun navigation support).

Not all legal systems work the same way. In some countries you can get murder or attempted murder charges regardless of intentions.
If his actions caused or could cause someone to die the charges stick, if it is proven in court that it was not intentional, the sentence is lighter than intentional murder or murder…

When are you writing the article on Napier Deltic engines?

For heavy transportation off the highways, such as trains ships and barges, it changes much, since the emissions footprint is really smaller compared to trucks:

It is a bad idea but not unheard of:

Who said anything about FWD? The article says “which uses the engine from the Honda Civic Type R” not “Civic Type R Transmission”. Also, the engine is rear mounted, which is unusual for a FWD car. 

Several armoured car owners have non-luxury cars , to blend with common traffic and not to be conspicuous. The Toyota Corolla model represents 15% of all cars that received armor last year in Brazil (1st place overall), and the Jeep Compass (2nd place) where almost 10%. One company that modifies cars to armored…

There is your 6 wheeled Saab.

WMIK is still a lot more overbuilt than the SAS Pink Panther

No, Ford does not have the right of the Jeep brand.

Once they discontinued the production they lost rigts to any Jeep connection,…

If you do find a Ford Rural under US$ 3500 please let us know!! Any decent 4x4 car in Brazil is usually really expensive (think around thirty grand Reais, or around 10 grand in US Dollars). And by the way, Jipe (portuguese version for jeep) is a type of vehicle in Brazil, denoting a vehicle with low range gears, 4…

That jeepster belonged to the Beverly Hillbillies.

How many countries are capable of launching a amphibious operation in such short notice so far away from any support? Do not mock a conscript army,it may sound outdated on US but works, Israel relies on conscription and they have been in perpetual war for survival since 1948. No one doubts the capabilities of the IDF.…

With RAF support they may trade blows for a brief time, however for a longer conflict the RN has to keep the sea lanes to supply UK with everything from food to fuel and Russia’s 10 SSNs and 7 SSKs, as well as 2 aviation regiments (one of them equipped with Backfires) will tie a lot of resources. RN has more (and…

Argentina also underestimated Royal Navy power projection capabilities and paid the price for doing so. Falklands was not a walk in the park for the British forces either, but they won despite the odds and distance. I would not believe the QE is supposed to take on the full force of Russia’s northern fleet, but it…
