Death Rattle More Condition_symptoms We have a new location for the blog

We had time preparing. Time learning to handle the Joomla! , install, configure. We already had hosting on our server, we had the web www.sandglasspatrol.com , still keeping its traditional format in HTML . And missing launched a new blog location.

After a couple of days of tinkering, to finish setting up things, try them ... we succeeded. We moved to ...


Obviously, like any new thing that starts to operate, can be a mistake, a failure mode that we hope are few and we can solve quickly. From now is where we publish our stories, curiosities, videos and recommendations. This new blog will remain open to query all existing entries.

Regards,

Liver Disorders More Condition_symptoms Boulton-Paul Defiant

Much has been written about this bird, so we're just going to present it, which sure is your old acquaintance.

the Boulton-Paul Defiant seater fighter was born. A totally revolutionary concept. The pilot should only deal with the pilot, while a rear gunner would take care of weapons, consisting of those in a turret armed with four guns of small caliber. (Now that I think many current aircraft operate so as F-14 pilot and 'scorer'). However

the device succeeded only on the day of its release, surprise, the CHTEmil MLXC Germans came from his six and there was the gunner be waiting. But the Germans soon began to hunt down the Defiant like flies, and these had to be relegated to white towing services ... and game night, where four eyes for a pilot focused only on the pilot and gunner focused only destroy the enemy, gave him an advantage.

Bruising Easily More Condition_symptoms Hawker Hurricane, the real victor of the Battle of Britain

Today I received an email from a friend of mine, deep aerotrastornado like me. It went like this ... Look

jewelry I found a little looking around, the Hurricane in all its glory, some photos of 111 ° Sq., The first to have it. With its thin nose, his wooden propeller fixed pitch and without the fin tail wheel, to me, is the most beautiful of all.
Speak, as not of Jurricane we have discussed and discussed quite often on the bus on the way to school, or simply because it is, sitting quietly at home. And from these photos that accompanyabandoned his post.


you going to find those pictures some curious, from a two-seater trainer Iranian a biplane version of Hurricane , designed to ferry flights , the prototype ... Can you guess which is which? In his day

posted an article about him in Sandglass Patrol's website to reproduce here below (but I always will recommend that you take a peek through the web, maybe encontréis this and other articles or videos ...)



Hawker Hurricane Hurricane's Channel

The Hurricane was the first British fighter "Modern & rdquo ;, but lacked a metallic coating that would help to withstand the flight, as later machines such as the Supermarine Spitfire.

The original design was created as a private venture, and offered many advantages over the biplane fighters, common until then, in 1934 wrote a specification for a fighter on it. The first prototype flewin November 1935 and revealed to be a mix of features "modern" (such as being a low-wing monoplane cantilever retractable landing gear or enclosed cab) and a structure whose concept was already obsolete ( structure of light alloy tubing covered with fabric, as if a Fokker of the First World War they were ...). This latter feature facilitates the rapid construction and repair, but limited the development potential of this device.

The Hurricane MkI went into service in December 1937 with an armament of eight machine guns of 7.69mm Colt-Browning and a Rolls Royce Merlinof 1030HP, with a wooden propeller, and two bladed fixed pitch, lack of armor and self-sealing tanks, which would be added later.

The MkI was a vital weapon in the British rearmament of the 30's. In this first phase of 600 units ordered to quickly equip units RAF fighter when triggered For 2GM on September 1, 1939, production had grown rapidly and had already to 497 operating units in 18 squadrons based in the British Isles.

After the German invasion of France, the RAF lost 200 Hurricanes. But for fourndo began fighting on home soil, the Battle of Britain, Fighter Command had already been re-equipped. At the height of the battle, the 32 squadrons of Hurricane (compared with 18 Spitfire, but fame in the Battle of Britain will go to the hunting of Supermarine, the work was done by the noble Hurricane) played a role in containing the hitherto invincible Luftwaffe. In August of 1940 had left the production lines of 2300 copies. Continued development and other versions were made, succeeding even as ground attack aircraft.

Prototype flight


During the Battle of Britain, the Hurricane MKI flew the Merlin II or III and a helix, or DH Rotolo, metal three-blade constant speed. The 3164 British production of equipment was completed by 140 Mk.X (Mk.I Canadian manufacturing) and the few produced by Belgium and Yugoslavia prior to their respective renditions. Originally the Mk.I had a two-bladed propeller, which was replaced, as already seen, by a more modern, had no self-sealing tanks or armor. In 1939 it was equipped with the new propeller, metallic coating on the wings &; Ndash, instead of fabric, "self-sealing tanks, armor ... During the Battle of Britain shot down ... more than 1500 enemy aircraft confirmed!, and in 1940 was equipped to participate in the war in the desert ... The Mk.II

adopted the Merlin XX 1280HP with a two-speed compressor, and better protection. The new engine was longer, so they needed to redesign its bench, which was reinforced, and was also reinforced landing gear. 6656 were built in the UK, in several variants, such as the Mk.II 7.69 with 8 machine guns, the Mk.IIB with twelve machine guns and racksto carry bombs or droppable fuel tanks, the Mk.IIC, based on the B but with four 20mm Hispano cannons and Mk.I, equipped with two 40mm Vickers cannon kickback was such that ostensibly braking device-, two 7.69 machine guns and extra armor for his role as anti-tank aircraft. Canadian production totaled 937 Hurricane Mk.X, XI and XII (equivalent to I, II and III but with Merlin engines built under license by Packard).

The Mk.III was the British designation Mk.II equipped with the Merlin engine built under license by the Packard. It was never made under this designation. CH
TMLXC The Mk.IV (at the beginning it was known as Mk.II), which was built 2575 with Merlin 24 or 27 and a wing 1620HP "universal" mounting admitting any combination of weapons (the A, B, C or D), 159kg of extra armor, with respect to the Mk.II and ability to load not only bombs, but also rockets Head 76mm 27kg explosive. Maximum speed: 502km / h. Range: 790Km.

Mk.V: equipped with the Merlin 27 or 32 with augmented takeoff power. Had the same weapons that Mk.IV. Only two were built.

The lack of aircraft for the Royal Navy embarked hizor to develop a version navalized the Hurricane (Hurricane Sea) and also occurred in the Spitfire or the Gloster Gladiator, making 825 in Sea Hurricanes Hurricane Mk.I and II ...

Stocking Women Wreestling The Excelsior project: parachute jumping 31 kilometers.

name Joseph Kittinger is not widely known in the history of exploration of the atmosphere and space. However, this captain of the U.S. Air Force game was life back in the late fifties to do what nobody had done before: skydive from a balloon more than 30 miles high.




Kittinger with the suit and the parachute jump next to the Excelsior III gondola.
The note under the entry reads "This is the blanching & OverhaulI n the top of the world ":
on today still remains.


The objective of Excelsior project , as it was called the program ran Kittinger jumps, was designed to investigate the posbilidad parachute jump from high altitudes and survive. The planes of the era were reaching record heights and speeds and trying to find out if the pilots could eject in extreme conditions. The first tests carried out on dummies (the operation High Dive ) had shown that bodies tend to rotate about themselves until they reached speeds of 200 revolutions per minute, which could prove fatal.

Thus, we designed a new model incorporating a small parachute parachute extra stabilizer prevents rotation of the pilot. The system included full jump height gauges that allowed deploy parachutes at the right time of descent. In addition, they would reach heights with a very thin atmosphere and low temperatures, and the gondola that would carry Kittinger andra open, so we had to create a pressurized spacesuit insulation itself prevent freezing and Kittinger parachutes. This suit was a crude precursor to what would be the authentic space suits.



Kittinger jumping to 30 km, the cloud layer is about 20 miles below.
The orange box below and
carried on which has been sitting home all the way up from the instrumetación


Kittinger made three jumps. During the first, which took place from about 23 kilometersyou high in November 1959, the stabilizer parachute was deployed and others soon cables Kittinger strangled while spinning him around 120 revolutions per minute. Kittinger lost consciousness, but the main parachute opened automatically saved his life. This near-fatal experience did not prevent another attempt to jump Kittinger dle dicimbre year from the same height, this time with complete success.

The third and last jump was made in August 1960. During ascent, the seal of the right glove of the suit failed, leading to severe pain Kittinger in hand endedand leave it useless. However, Kittinger decided not to report the bug and continue the mission. The rise lasted an hour and broke the altitude record current reaching the 31 kilometers. The Kittinger jumping from that height is the highest ised to date, and during that time the captain experienced by velocidadas of nearly 1,000 km / h and temperatures of 70 degrees below zero, and showed that was possible to survive a jump from that altitude.




The Excelsior III gondola is currently stored at the museum

Kittinger, a highly decorated officer, was paid for his high oak leaves Flying Cross for Identify and Harmon Trophy from President Eisenhower, and retired , with the rank of colonel in 1978

For dessert, skip the original pictures, which are spectacular. While I have very clear that the music of The Who hit him a lot ... anyway, there are more versions of the video on YouTube. Among them, original music video of "Cowboy Dayvan " of Boards of Canada.

 

Pressure In Head More Condition_symptoms Aerial photography

Regarding the entry on stereoscopic photographs of Gizmo ...

The process of stereoscopic aerial photographs cargo plane with a vertical chamber is called its focal length, which helps us determine the scale " ballpark "of photographs. Depending on the scale to which photos we want the plane to fly to a certain height, which will be influenced by the movements of aircraft in flight. In general passes are east-west and rev é s, and are made early in the morning or late afternoon, when shadows MnAs. Frames are more than 50% overlap with each other, with three consecutive forms the "stereoscopic pair" where the whole is central in relief.
stereo image pair, The Marraco


Aerial photographs of the territory with stereoscopy began during World War . In Spain attempts were made during the two world wars (I thinkr a flight of 1923 by the Sierra de Madrid). The first flight by the whole Spain is called "American flight, which did the USAF between 1956 and 57 on a scale of 1:33.000. Were followed by flights at very different scales, General maso least every 10 years, is in fact one of the best instruments to observe the area's development. They are also used to produce topographic maps using special tools.

To see these photos do not use glasses but an instrument called a stereoscope . Consists of four mirrors and send the image of each photograph & iacuteand, as the corresponding eye, the brain does the rest.

We met through a comment on this entry society ARAMA . We all know that it tends to destroy, pass the torch and demolish all the rest of the Civil War . ARAMA attempts to preserve this heritage in Asturias " The Association for the Recovery of Military Architecture Asturiana is a non-profit organization founded in April 2006 by a group of people committed to the preservation n heritage related material developmentor the English Civil War in Asturias , especially in regard to the remains of military architecture of the time "

told us ...
Hello. Thank you for taking an entry to the journal and the article on the airfield, also known as Jarrio airfield, the place where it is located. Vestiges of it just because the land was built a few years ago hostipal. There are still some sections of track that will soon disappear too as is urbanizing environment. Our association is dedicated to studying andpreserve the historical heritage of the civil war related to Asturias. Mainly fortifications erected by both sides but also other buildings such as the present case. In Asturias there are remains of three fields of Aviation, this, the national side and two government Carreñoy one another in Llanes.

Penny Lab With Aluminum Boats Stereoscopic photographs

I guess many of you know and why we see in 3 dimensions. And that once were very popular these photographs that seemed almost equal, but that when introduced into a kind of binocular and look through it, came to life, rising paper to form 3-dimensional images. Similarly, with aerial photographs taken from photo-reconnaissance aircraft, observers 'see' from the air in 3 dimensions as photographed.

stereoscopic photographs are treated ( stereoscopic ). And today, jumping from link to link, as I do when I'm bored and I have much to do, I found these two pages where you see images of time, or rather, stereoscopic images age spikes. Recommend the use of glasses to see the pictures, but some will get to see the effect without glasses even ...

Drivers Licence Columbus Oh Northrop F-20 Tigershark, who lost to the F-16

In the late 70's and early 80's there was a change of generation, in terms of fighter aircraft deal. Disappeared cables and pulleys and appeared FBW systems . The competition between General Dynamics and F-16 and Northrop YF-17 think it's known by all or nearly all, and that the YF-17 end up being developed until the McDoneld Douglas F-18.

Jack Northrop a brilliant engineer, especially in terms of aerodynamics is concerned, the father of the wings of p & aacute, birds such as the DC-3 or Vega, and flying wings and YB-35 YB-49 (still do not understand why he preferred the B-36 and the like. .. I guess politics), developed by this time a light fighter, the F-5 and a training plane, the T-38 Talon .


Reusing engine F-18 with a cell F-5 and some other changes, would be born F-5X . And developing it a little m & amp; aacute; s born the F-20, the latest game of the day ... But it was purchased by the Air Force of U.S. , and finally was able to export to Taiwan (for political reasons), or Korea, or Israel (beginning to the development of the Lavi to finally buy F-16 and F-15 ).

If you want to read more about this bird, see interesting photo galleries ... you can visit


pd: I met this aircraft in a book called The Worst World Aircraft
, not as one of the worst appliances in the world, but at the end, its last pages, in a section called "And that might be the best." They talked about how political reasons lost the contest against the F-16 , and as the aircraft was exported General Dynamics the allied countries, while this were forgotten. Curious, if we consider that it is the first device Northrop that followed this fate. When developing the B-35 as competitor B-36 was achieved by a device that met these design requirements that the Peacemaker , but with far less drag. And they lost the contract also "politicking?
