There are always problems with new equipment.

The miscalculated operational range would danger F-35C fighter-program, says news bulletin from the U.S NAVY. The U.S NAVY:s new stealth fighter F-35C have a problem, that it's combat radius have been miscalculated. The problem with those calculations has been that the F-35C has the very powerful jet engine, what of course uses very much fuel, and that was made problematic for calculating the radius of that military aircraft. When some new equipment is taken in the service, there are always problems with them, and that means the problems can be solved, but this means that with those technical problems must be honest, and make work to find them. Only the problems, what is found can be solved, and as we know that engineering work is very systematic.


Almost every other systems have found problems when they are first taken in use, and one of the most well-known cases was when U.S NAVY F-14 "Tomcat"  got the computerized AWG-9 fire-control system for its AIM-54 "Phoenix" missile system, that aircraft turned upside down when it crossed the Equator. Here I must confess that I don't remember the type of the aircraft really sharp, because there have been over 20 years from that case. This situation caused, because of the programmer of the computer forget, that there would be the world after the Equator, and then that aircraft turned upside down.


This kind of mistakes are very common in the new systems, and that's why engineers have been hired by the military forces. Their mission is to find those errors and fix them. If the new system doesn't have any errors,  that would be suspicious. Errors, what is found are the mark that the system has been tested properly, and if some brand new system would not found errors, would that mean that there would not be followed the testing instructions and procedures. As we know, in the engineering work people don't just expect that some things are working perfectly.


Engineers make tests before they accept the conclusion, that the system works. And when we are talking about the combat system, we would say, that those systems are extremely mission-critical, and that's why they must work perfectly before they are going to act. The pilots would not want to see in the real situation above enemy terrain, that their multi-million dollar aircraft would not work, because that could lethal when the real enemy is facing those fighters.

Antigravity will be the greatest thing. That we have ever created.

"Artistic depiction of a fictional anti-gravity vehicle" (Wikipedia, Anti-gravity) Sometimes, if the airships have the same lifting power as the weight of the airship.  It can act like some “antigravity system”. Those systems are based on lighter-than-air gas or hot air. The system can have a helium tank. And the hot-air section whose temperature can be adjusted using microwaves or particles that lasers warm. Those systems are faster to control than some gas flames. This makes it possible. To adjust the lifting power.  If a thing like a balloon has the same lifting power as its weight, the balloon can be lifted to a certain point and altitude. And the balloon stands at that point until something moves it. That kind of thing can make an impression. On the antigravity systems. Modern airships. Like Lockheed-Martin P-791 can look. Like a “UFO”. The system can use systems to move the craft. Or maybe those ion systems are used for plasma stealth systems, if those airships' mis...

The first test flight of X-59 QueSST

The X-59 QueSST (Quiet Supersonic Technology) demonstrator is the next generation of aircraft design. The QueSST technology means. The aircraft creates a gentler sonic boom. Because its wings are radically long and narrow delta wings, and its nose is also radically long, which makes the sonic pressure cone thinner. That technology makes the sonic boom quieter.  The QueSST technology in X-59 is a new and radical design. All of those systems are caricatures. And the final solutions might look far different than the prototypes. The QueSST technology is one of the things. That is planned to be used. It is used in military and civil applications. If that technology is successful. It can be used in manned and unmanned systems. But that requires more work.  The X-59 also uses fundamental technology. Where the pilot must not have windows. To see outside. The camera and other sensors replace traditional windows. And that can be useful in more advanced aircraft that operate at hypersoni...

The theory about paralleled universes

http://crisisofdemocracticstates.blogspot.fi/p/the-theory-about-paralleled-universes.html Kimmo Huosionmaa There is the quite unknown theory about paralleled universes. In this theory, there is not a single universe. Universes are like pearls in the pearl necklace, and there could be the connection between those universes. The connection to other universes would make possible the channel what is forming when the black hole would make the gravity tunnel to another universe. And in the paralleled universe theory, there could be millions of universes in the line, and this is also known as "Multiverse-theory". This theory was established when the galaxy-groups were noticed by astronomers. In that time were noticed that there are so-called super-groups of the galaxy, and those super-groups, where we're so much galaxy that galaxy involved stars made some cosmologists think that maybe there is also groups of universes in the emptiness. This kind of structures is so enormo...
