That could be an interesting experiment - neither has any efficient aerodynamic potential so if he gets them to fly it would be the hottest discovery after the Russian Ekranoplan WIG effect vehicles, so the Yank Pentagoons and our GCHQ pillocks who are observing us here would want that as a Military weapon and kept secret for well over 20 years again.
Good Morning Darling K I found that link failed when I tried it here, but found this link which was also interesting to me in particular having written a thesis on Aviation engineering history.
I had heard of Jordanov and Petrov who both have some significance, especially Jordanov being arguably the forerunner of the Black Box and later, Reverse Thrusters on Jet Engines.
Hi Lil With respect - I thank you for the mention !! But if you care to read it my message was not flippant but sincere, and directed to 2intrigued and her family or indeed anyone else affected.
I had just had a message from a Meccano enthusiast Colleague in Canada describing the carnage there in Ontario who lives not far from the disaster when I wrote it and he had told me there had been a fatality.
Oh yes ? I wonder what hands on trade did you train for, before you became "Executive management" in something unspecified ? I assure you that if you walked into a traditional hands on workshop and said that aged 31 to people with 30 -40 years trade experience after our training and especially ex servicemen and women, you would be humiliated by laughter, banter and subjected to more verbal sarcasm than you ever knew existed. By your own admission you would have to carried out through the door horizontal for sedation in the sick bay if you think words can do that much damage - Thanks for the laugh we've heard it before
Folks - As a change from the political and religious ranting on other threads this IMHO is a subject about such a revolutionary development in potential passenger transport apart from military to everyone. WIG = "Wing in Ground effect" was not a new phenomenon as pilots in WW1 and before, had experienced it a very low altitude.
But the development of a craft which relied upon WIG effect to travel faster over land and sea that any other type of transport was even more advanced and revolutionary than even the hovercraft.
So much so that the US secret services from 1965 after they first observed it from the spy planes over the USSR were so paranoid that they tried to suppress all knowledge or mention of its existence until the end of the cold war and after - Fact - Even possession of any drawings or articles on the subject in the UK was regarded by the US as a breach of security, upon which the London based Goons acted without informing our Police and that is Not Fiction.
Good - give the sprog a good kicking when he lands in the ancient Avro 504K before you get your hair blown off in the slipstream when he takes you up and inverts you in the roll off the top of the loop
