The old GTA V6 would have been a fantastic motor:...
Maybe on high performance cars. But an Alfa is a daily driver and, touch wood, I haven't had big trouble with engine or gearbox yet. What...
From an emotional point of view an Alfa should be designed and built in Italy. No question. But from a rational point of view a MX5 is a good...
I agree with Simon.
Of course an airplane that is only a little more efficient than its competitor will kick it out of the market. But that's not the point. Oil is...
That's the problem. Probably too early to tell, but competition may contradict the goal to maximize safety. I don't care whether a flight is...
Maybe it's not a good idea to develop new designs at a large scale at all. We have good planes in service. Just keep them. Improve these designs...
Almost every major city was more or less flattened. Except Görlitz as whole, parts of some bigger eastern and southern cities and some smaller...
:D
Will ducky fly if put on a conveyor belt?
Okay, let's try it the other way around: Belt is not moving (= usual runway). Wheel rolls over the belt. Which one is the axis of rotation:...
I've got the translation now: "Momentanpol" is called "instant center of rotation" in English....
If the wheel rotates clockwise the belt rotates counterclockwise and the other way around. No problem there.
I read my old mechanics book and I fear I'm not right in #2259. Or let's say #2259 is incomplete. The translational speed v_plane = delta_s /...
By the way: Does anyone have a new question? :D
That's what I said. Sit in the plane, look at the wheels: Speeds match. And I guess that is, what the author originally wanted to tell us. But he...
That's why I said this:
Sure it will. But that's not really what we are discussing at the moment. The point is whether it will fly and fulfill the kinematic constraints...
A carrier can do in principle what a conveyor belt can do in principle. I doesn't matter, what a real carrier does. It can stand still. It can...
Yes, the carrier itself acts as conveyor belt. It is not endless long, but other than that it does what a belt can do in principle.
