    Err that is what ERA (Explosive reactive armour) is.. True it is more complex and considerably less energetic, but neutronium might be good for Hyper velocity projectiles.

    News British Airways 777 Flight 2276 Fire at Las Vegas

    Yes and no, its a polite way of saying what part of the engine failed/blew up. Unfortunately GE have a history of unconditioned engine failures. Friday 2 June 2006 a AA Boeing 767-223ER had one, 8 December 2002, 22 September 2000 and 7 June 2000 are some examples.

    From the media reports that have seen, the pilot was pulled from the wreck on the ground. The aircraft involved is fitted with Ejector seats but they are not Zero-Zero seats.

    News Shoreham Airshow crash.

    Aviation Safety Network page on the Crash http://aviation-safety.net/wikibase/wiki.php?id=178886 It has a video of the crash It looks to me like he entered the loop too slow and too low and then got hit by some terbulance coming off the trees. But the question is why was he doing aerobatics...

    Gaming The Kerbal Space Program - Version 1.2.x

    If the first engine drains fuel from all parts, like monopropelant for RCS parts, then if the probe is loaded with the rest of the vessel the "Probe" will be considered part of the vessel and used. At least that is my experience.

    News Vulcan XH558 at the RIAT 2015.

    I found it, I think, its in "The Avro Type 698 Vulcan: The Secrets Behind Its Design and Development by David W. Fildes" my copy is currently lent out but I think it is mentioned in it.

    News Vulcan XH558 at the RIAT 2015.

    If you mean the flat bit between the right hand engines, its there to sort out some stability issues found when the aircraft got the Phase 2 (B.1a) and 2c (B.2) wings. It is longer than needed to be, as it was used to house/mount additional RWR's and other antennas. Once I find where I read...

    All fixed, a washer had failed in the back of a tap, but due to its position the water dripped down the feed pipe in to the floor (which was not visible until we took the basin off), then through the ceiling. Problem solved for less then £30. ---------- Post added at 15:17 ----------...

    I don't mind getting woken up with only 4 hours sleep, I do mind that it was for a leaking water pipe, that I cant find where it is leaking from.

    News Solar Impulse 2 attempts to cross the Pacific

    If you used solar and wind turbines you'll maybe get a max speed of 8kns (more likely less), Big ships require lots of power and wind turbines are not that efficient. It could be more vulnerable to capsizing, but simply because it will have to be designed to have better righting moment, may...

    RisingFury you are not alone in that, One of my favourite mods for Fallout 3 and New Vegas was one that added and changed the foliage to look more alive. My view on the nukes is that in the fallout universe they where less nukes and more dirty bombs.
