Designing a nuclear reactor capable of supersonic flight presents a set of unique challenges: [5]

Strict mass and volume budgets. Both mass and volume are at a premium in any flying craft, even more so when high performance is desired. [6] This requires the design of a lightweight reactor with a small frontal cross-section.

Tremendous load from air drag. The airflow from the diffuser impinges directly on the head of the reactor, generating a pressure of 3.8 MPa at Mach 3, and crosses the entire reactor, subjecting the reactor to both compressive loads and shear loads due to internal ablation.

Very high thermal stresses. The efficiency of ramjet engines increases with temperature and in particular with the temperature difference between the core and the airflow: the temperature gradient induces extremely high mechanical loads on the reactor itself.

Chemical oxidation. Exposing the reactor core to a high-temperature oxygen-rich airflow significantly accelerates oxidation phenomena, which can compromise the mechanical properties of the reactor.

Very high lateral loads. The reactor is housed in a high-speed, maneuverable craft: it can be exposed to lateral accelerations of several g's during turns and in presence of turbulence.

Radiation leakage. In the SLAM ramjet concept, air passes directly through the reactor core and is then expelled through the nozzle. If the ramjet is to fly over allied territory, it is imperative to minimize radiation leakage (mainly from ablated reactor material) in the exhaust plume.

http://large.stanford.edu/courses/2015/ph241/rossi1/

I don't know how to convince you this project was real. My grandfather actually helped design the giant air tunnel for the test facility. This was one of a number of insane ideas that were purpose-built to be a giant middle finger to the Ruskies; it didn't matter if they won a ground war in the States, our government was perfectly content irradiating the entire western hemisphere.

nah m8, it was a humongous nuclear powered missile that could zoom along at mach 4 indefinitely, then swoop down and release it's payload of nuclear weapons, then fly around the countryside farting highly radioactive exhaust. The flight engineers even had a dispersal pattern set up so a number of these missiles (their production order was 25) could fly in overlapping, preprogramed paths and irradiate all of Russia. Because it was designed to fly supersonic at very low altitudes (less than 300 meters) it would fuck up civilian zones with supersonic flybys.

Best part? The whole missile was a flying bomb. Even if the Ruskies managed to shoot it down (no joke, their ground to air missiles were not fast enough to catch it) it would crash into the countryside at at least mach 2 and fling radioactive shit for miles in every direction.

They were proof-of-concept more than anything else. Just a test bed for what would hopefully be more capable follow on versions. They never really got past the initial R&D phase though, sort of like Jack Northrup's 1940s flying wings. While the idea works in practice, the tech needs to catch up.

I'm sure the Soviets had high hopes for them 'cause the West sure as hell would have. In the end, they were a platform in search of a mission. Most of what they could do was already being done by smaller, cheaper, faster, platforms and the one things they could better than anything else, carrying tons of shit quickly within a limited range, wasn't needed except in specific situations.

>Also Turret in the back is generally a really bad design for tanks, as you need to expose over half your length to fire at a target perpendicular to your side
It also means easier storage and transportation(due to a smaller footprint) and potentially better armor on the front(where most attacks should be coming from, anyway). And that's a very situational drawback unless you're fighting in a city(a role to which tanks are inherently not very well-suited for) where you should have infantry support anyway, so being unable to fire in certain situations isn't as big a deal as you might think.

Amusingly, the Badger 288 and its brothers such as Badger 293, and other mega-miners actually can't do much on their own - they get their power from plugging into local power stations

It's a tradeoff. Usually comes down to read vs front engine.
The Merkava uses that, so they can mount the engine up front to shield the magazine, and have a clamshell door in the back for easy loading while under fire, and storage of an absurd amount of ammunition or some infantry.

Considering that the Israelis designed it after running M60s and Chieftains through the wringer in multiple combats? I think it's valid, if overspecialised for it's role of 'defend israel and kill muslims'.

I love how they crashed that thing on landing. Crashed it nose-first into a fence.
Huge panic, because it closed a road. It was there for hours until they could get a forklift in to tip it back onto the air-cushion landing gear.

The Fairey Rotodyne was a pretty good tradeoff between jump jets and helicopters.

Basically a helicopter with an unpowered rotor that was then spun by jets on the rotor tips, powered from jet engines that could be used for that, or as regular jets to push it along horizontally, with the rotor left to spin freely and unloaded by wings.

Pic sadly unrelated.

Truly, the fuckhuge airship is an idea whose time has come. The R101 would be proud.

I still think Empire of the Clouds should have been dropped from the album into it's own concept album/rock opera, though. And the rest of the album trimmed of wankery to fit on a single disc.

Ah, book of souls had a fair bit of of chaff (seeing as I've seen them live as part of that tour), but I say give it a decade and a half, assuming Bruce can keep it up, which he's giving every impression he can, and yeah, totally agree

It 10000% helps that Bruce (as pilot with rockstar cash) is a fucking significant shareholder in the whole venture as well - I saw him fly biplanes over Knebworth, and I've seen Edforce 1 at the airport near Donington, I totally believe that if it continues at a good pace I will see a legit giant airship piloted by Iron Maiden in some form or as part of their show

Ah, you were at Download last year too?
Iron Maiden's cameraman bonked me on the head. That's my claim to fame, other than being related (by marriage) to the guy doing the off-stage keyboards for Black Sabbath.
His father's first wife is my father's cousin. Supposedly.

And yeah, Ed Force 2 is blatantly going to be a fuckhuge airship.

Yes my friend, I was at drownload 2016, though I may have compromised the value of my ticket by getting absolutely annihilated. Several times.

I've worked at several significant concerts (fleetwood mac, springstien etc.), if that counts, but no real connection other than liking good music

And yeah, totally is, assuming they last long enough, which I kinda suspect the will - I mean look how long Lemmy lasted, and he literally never ate anything healthy

Nothing wrong with getting hammered at festivals. Saturday night at last year's Download, I came back from seeing Sabbath, had a couple of cups of mixed cider/rum, and then had an Idea.
See, I had about a third of the bottle of rum left. Which was abiut as strong as I was mixing the drinks. So, why bother pussying around with cups? Why not just top it up with cider and drink straight from the bottle?
So, I did that, and wandered off to find food and fun. Don't remember what happened, other than returning with a nearly-empty bottle, collapsing into a chair, and shooting the drunken shit with my camp-mates before suddenly getting drowsy, and being helped back to my tent so I didn't trip over theirs.

Lemmy lasted so long because the alcohol became one with him. He only got unhealthy at all because of the mixer; drinking an entire litre bottle of JD as JD and coke means you're ingesting gallons of coke. A day. And that's before the cocaine.
I'm pretty sure that he didn't actually die. He just ascended to a more awesome plane of existence.
Then the d

Throttles forwards, afterburners on, and the thrust kicked him back in his seat as the needles climbed. The counter ticked down to zero and beeped, and he pulled back on the stick, keeping the throttles pushed forwards, every muscle protesting against the forces.
Another beep, and he pressed the button. The antique aircraft shuddered with the release, and he eased the throttles back. He saw the decades-old missile streak off ahead of him, heading up out of the atmosphere.
He relaxed. The satellite the missile was locked onto was an ECM rig, and had been alternately jamming his crew's links with the outside world, and overpowering them with german scat pornography.
The corps had found their hideout, and now there was no mistaking their presence. But for a glorious few days, everyone could talk again. And he'd just cost the corps billions.

An insistent beeping sounded behind him, and he realised he'd just cost himself a similar amount, expended a literally priceless missile, and had just missed his window for being able to steer a priceless antique back down to earth. He'd now have to wait until his ballistic arc brought him down to where there was enough air for the controls to actually work. And his engines had just flamed out. Fighter jets weren't known for their ability to glide.
He shrugged, and reached under his seat for the manual. With any luck, he could figure out how to restart the engines before he actually needed to.

>>53695509
I may have mixed 3/4 of a JD bottle with a 2lr and passed out on a portaloo for a good portion of Sunday, but whatever, I saw Maiden and Sabbath and MAY have seen Ramestien, so whatever

Also I'm enitely certain Lemmy was a Rock God, so of course he's not dead in that sense

JD honey, to be entirely honest,
it's sound in lemonade

Seeing as you're shitposting here, I assume you're not at Download this year.
I'm objecting to their lineup not being worth £300+ this year, so I'm going to Bloodstock instead. Because two of the best acts at Download last year are headlining Bloodstock this year, and there doesn't seem to be any metalcore or nu-metal in sight.
I haven't heard of 80% of the lineup and can't even read 50% of the logos, so I figure it'll be worth the effort.

Also doing Tankfest this year on the saturday, because tanks are awesome and I love the idea of watching them while getting a history lecture.
