Paint can weigh up to 1,000 lb (450 kg) per aircraft. [1] Decals and/or stickers are used for geometrically challenging elements such as titles and logos. To paint an A380, 24 painters were needed over two weeks to apply 2,300 L (610 US gal) of paint in five coats for British Airways, to cover 3,500 m 2 (38,000 sq ft) with 650 kg (1,430 lb). [2]
The F-16 design also inspired the design of other aircraft, which are considered derivatives. Older F-16s are being converted into QF-16 drone targets. [215] F-16A/B The F-16A (single seat) and F-16B (two seat) were initial production variants. These variants include the Block 1, 5, 10, 15, and 20 versions.
The scales used include the general European modelling range of Z, N, TT, H0, 0 and also the large model engineering gauges of I to X, including 3 + 1 ⁄ 2, 5, 7 + 1 ⁄ 4 and 10 + 1 ⁄ 4-inch gauge. As 00 is a particularly British scale, it is not included within this pan-European standard.
Scaled Composites Model 205, first preliminary design for airlaunch of a booster rocket heavier than 500,000 pounds (230,000 kg) (1991) [2] Scaled Composites Model 206 , second preliminary design for heavy airlaunch (1991) [ 2 ]
Currently, with the introduction of the F-22 stealth fighter and the mass production of the F-35, the C/D models are being rapidly retired, and the current (2024) fleet remaining in the U.S. Air Force and National Guard consists of 123 F-16C Block 25, 200 F-16C Block 30, 100 F-16C Block 32, 200 F-16C Block 40, 115 F-16C Block 42, 37 F-16D Block ...
November 16, 2024 at 5:02 AM Lawmakers running for reelection loathe tough votes. And for senators up in purple states in two years, those tough votes are coming early.
Penn State coach James Franklin motions on the sideline a game against Purdue Boilermakers on Nov. 16, 2024, in West Lafayette, Indiana. The Nittany Lions won 49-10 to improve to 9-1.
The term HOn30 (and sometimes HOn2½) is generally used when modelling American prototypes while H0e is used for European prototypes. In Britain, the term OO9 is used. [1] All these terms refer to models of narrow-gauge railways built to the world's most popular model railway scale of HO (1:87) but using a track gauge of 9 mm (0.354 in)—the gauge used for N scale models of standard-gauge ...
