At last after 27 years the day has come for the first 4 th  generation fighter aircraft to get the Initial Operation Clearance(IOC) i.e., now the aircraft can be inducted into the IAF. Wow, my country has done it Im proud. But I cant take much pride from it,because though the aerial design,aerodynamics,integration,manufacturing has been done in INDIA, the sad truth is that some of the core and integral parts of an aircraft like the engine, radars, weaponries all are made in other countries.This includes the engine from the General Electrics,Radars from israel, Integration of all weaponries and control systems  from the British and Italy helping in the composite skins for the wings. Having said all those things,still it is an remarkable achievement, considering the fact that our INDIA got independence only in the late 1940′s ,when most of the western nations developed and used fighter aircrafts for war.The layout for the project was started way back in 1983,but due to lack in i

According to Robert Zubrin who was a NASA scientist working for a past 10 years on going to mars.who wrote more number of books on mars saying about the survival, conditions, and more books like the "MARS a road trip" There is a chance of settling over MARS and its also one of the best place to spread the life of human kind just like EARTH. It is having all kinds of resources like water, hydrogen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide and other more gases that are required to the survival to the human kind and other living organisms or the species. After earth i feel that mars is the safe zone for the better civilization in our solar system. With the help of R.Zubrin views and the equipment which was designed for the production of the rocket fuel to the space vehicles from the atmosphere of Martin for the re-journey to the earth and with the success journey towards mars more other countries joins this mission to develop the atmospheric conditions of mars. With this another best

In December of 2010, a nature photographer checked on a trail camera he'd set up to film wild animals in a reserve in Morgan City, Louisiana. The camera was smashed, but its SIM card survived. When the photographer uploaded the camera's final images he was shocked at what he found. Instead of a wild animal, his camera caught the image of a ghostly, near-transparent humanoid figure. The anonymous photographer let a local news station run the footage, but no one could explain the humanoid.

In 1969 homebuilt aircraft builder and boat designer George Pereira of Sacramento, California, started work on the Osprey I homebuilt flying boat. Using his technical background in powerboat design and construction, Pereira designed the Osprey I as a high-performance STOL sea plane intended for the growing homebuilt aircraft market. With folding wings, a single-seat open cockpit and able to be transported by a boat trailer, the Osprey I was made of wood, fiberglass, and styrofoam with a Continental C90 four-cylinder 90-hp piston engine mounted on a dorsal pylon driving a fixed-pitch two-bladed propeller. With one pilot and a full load of fuel, the aircraft weighed only 900 lbs and had a top speed of 135 mph. After finishing the design and construction, Pereira had to demonstrate that the Osprey I could safely be flown during an FAA mandatory 50-flight hour restricted flying period to be completed in less than six months. Having duly met the FAA's requirements for a kitbuilt airc

The Convair Model 6, I have to jump back a bit and talk about both the XC-99 and the YB-60 as they're both derivatives of the B-36 Peacemaker. Convair's work on the B-36 began in the midst of the Second World War as there was a concern that Great Britain would fall to the Reich and we would need strategic bombers that could reach Europe from the United States. But in parallel to the development of the B-36 there were design efforts that looked at passenger versions of the B-36. As early as May 1942 Convair had been looking at a transport version of the B-36 called the Model 37 that combined the wing, six pusher piston engines and empennage of the B-36 to a new fuselage unit. In December 1942 the USAAF signed a contract with Convair to build a single example of what was designated the XC-99 on the stipulation that the XC-99 would not divert resources from the B-36 project. Convair saw the XC-99 as a way to validate some of the design concepts of the B-36 quickly as it would no

To boost morale on the home front during the Second World War, aircraft manufacturers celebrated production aircraft milestones. Lockheed, for example, painted the 5,000th P-38 Lightning red and named it "YIPEE". But Boeing wanted to do something different as it approached the 5,000 B-17 Flying Fortress to be built since the attack on Pearl Harbor when the US entered the war against the Axis. Aircraft number 40-37716, a B-17G, was that aircraft and early on it was marked with a notice on the fuselage that it was the 5,000th Flying Fortress to be built since the US entry into the war. Every worker who played a part in the construction of this particular aircraft was invited to sign the aircraft as it advanced down the production line in Seattle. It celebrated the efforts of the thousands of workers who emigrated to Seattle to escape the effects of the Great Depression and work on Boeing's massive production facilities. The enthusiasm that workers applied their signatur

As the Second World War began to wind down, renowed British aircraft designer Barnes Wallis started investigating the challenges of supersonic flight and concluded early on that a variable geometry swing wing was the best way to accommodate the center of gravity changes in moving between the subsonic and supersonic regimes. In 1946 he wrote an engineering paper entitled "The Application of the Aerodynamic Properties to the Stabilisation and Control of Aerodynes" (quite a mouthful) in which he combined his ideas on swing wings with laminar flow studies. Starting out with small hand launched models, Barnes Wallis gradually moved up to larger versions that were launched for a catapult at 100mph. His models had slender, ovoid fuselages with swing wings mounted far to the aft and a single highly swept fin. With the end of the war, the British government was eager to regain research ground lost to the Americans and Vickers was awarded a contract of a half-million pounds to study

As 1944 began, Soviet aeronautical experts were already filtering through information of successful flight tests of British and American jet aircraft and the impending service introduction of rocket- and jet-powered aircraft in the Luftwaffe. The Soviet GKO (State Defense Committee- a wartime organization that ran the Soviet Union during the Second World War), headed by Stalin, quickly concluded that the different efforts by engineers doing research on jet propulsion at the time needed to be consolidated under one organization, the NKAP (People's Commissariat for Aviation Industry). By March of 1944 officials of the NKAP were ready to present Stalin proposals to accelerate Soviet aeronautical technology to match that of the Luftwaffe, but most importantly to keep up with the British and the Americans. Semyon Lavochkin, Artyom Mikoyan, and Pavel Sukhoi of their respective design bureaus (called OKBs) were instructed to develop jet fighters as a matter of national security. At the

Boeing confirmed that it was "invited in-country to provide more information" on the V-22, but that it has not received "an official, written [request for information] from India". In addition, Indian officials visited the V-22 aircraft during the Dubai air show in November 2011, where they asked questions about the aircraft. The V-22 would be well suited to operations along India's vast Himalayan frontier, where high altitudes and long distances hinder helicopter operations. At last year's Paris and Dubai air shows, Osprey representatives made much of a mountain rescue mission in June 2010 conducted by two US Air Force CV-22s. The aircraft flew a 1,290km (700nm) round-trip at 15,000ft (4,570m), landed amid mountainous terrain in dust storm conditions, collected 32 personnel and returned to base. In response to a query about whether the V-22 could be fitted with a radar array for use on Indian aircraft carriers, Boeing said: "While AEW&C [airborne

Some basic information regarding Tubro’s, Roots blowers, and Centrifugal blowers. Superchargers : The most significant advantage to a supercharger is the simplicity of install. You don't need to plumb them into the exhaust. This also improves the reliability of the compressor, since it doesn't have to operate in the extremely hot exhaust stream. It also results in cooler intake charges since the compressor isn't soaking up heat from the exhaust-side *hot* impeller. Because superchargers are driven from the crank, the boost they produce is proportional to engine RPM . But superchargers come in two basic varieties, centrifugal and roots. The boost curves are different for these two types. Roots compressors: Are constant displacement pumps. They move the same volume of air for each rotation of the compressor assembly and airflow through the compressor varies linearly with RPM . The engine is also a constant displacement pump, it consumes the same volume of air for each rotat

Dash kits Dash kit gives a great luxury look to the interior part of the cars which can be seen in BMW series. As you can find the high quality plastic material used for the dash board kit parts having a real look. There are different types of series of models with chosen colour like BMW 1 series wood Grain from the most reputed names in business. Most of the manufacturers provide the better choice for all the finished products. Some are authentic Wood veneers, OEM Factory-Match Woods, Real carbon Fibre and more extensive dash kits. Wood Veneers is the better options which is having the good test time and enact a precise OEM fitment. These are available in in version of the models according to the year and series. Grills In a basic point grill is like a network or a mesh which not only give protection the vehicle but also give a stylish look and but also gives a protection from the external hazards. Generally these are made up of stainless steel and other alloy like BILLET GRILLES, T-R

The forced induction system was first introduced into internal combustion engine. Super chargers are based on rotor air pump design which was the basic design for the modern superchargers which was first introduced in 1860 in America and implemented in 1921 for the 20 hp and 35 hp of berlin motor and Mercedes. The design of the super chargers is more complex and the cost it is gradually reduced and limited to it expensive high performance cars. Both the turbo and the super chargers are forced induction systems. The main working principle of these chargers is the air is compressed and makes it flow into the engine. Engine allows the pressurized air into the combustion chamber. If more amount of the air is inserted into the chamber more fuel should be injected which results in the increase the engine power. Most of these chargers are used in racing cars and for production cars. Super chargers are mainly categories into three different types which are as follows: Centrifugal superchargers
