How the USAF reloads the largest combat jet gun in the planet
(1) | 17/10/2015 | Translate: The GAU-8 Avenger is the largest gun in a combat jet. The airplane itself is built around it. It can fire up to 3,900 rounds per minute. This is how the USAF loads it.
How Will NASA’s InSight Spacecraft Land on Mars? When NASA’s InSight descends to the Red Planet on Nov. 26, 2018, it's guaranteed to be a white-knuckle event. Rob Manning, chief engineer at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, explains the critical steps that must happen in perfect sequence to get the robotic lander safely to the surface. - Six Turning Four Burning – Convair B-36 “Peacemaker” (HD) The Convair B-36 "Peacemaker" was a strategic bomber built by Convair and operated solely by the United States Air Force (USAF) from 1949 to 1959. The B-36 was the largest mass-produced piston engine aircraft ever made. It had the longest wingspan of any combat aircraft ever built, at 230 ft (70.1 m). The B-36 was the first bomber capable of delivering any of the nuclear weapons in the U.S. arsenal from inside its four bomb bays without aircraft modifications. With a range of 10,000 mi (16,000 km) and a maximum payload of 87,200 lb (39,600 kg), the B-36 was the world's first manned bomber capable of intercontinental flight without refueling. Entering service in 1948, the B-36 was the primary nuclear weapons delivery vehicle of the Strategic Air Command (SAC) until it was replaced by the jet-powered Boeing B-52 Stratofortress from 1955. All but five examples were scrapped in the 1950's. The B-36 set the standard for range and payload for subsequent U.S. intercontinental bombers. This clip is from the Paramount Movie (1955) "Strategic Air Command" starring Jimmy Stewart and June Allyson.
- Lockheed Martin F-35B Firing Test F-35B BF-01 completes the first ever aircraft-mounted test-fire of the podded 25mm GAU-22/A cannon at Pax River. The Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II is a family of single-seat, single-engine, all-weather stealth multirole fighters undergoing final development and testing by the United States. The fifth generation combat aircraft is designed to perform ground attack and air defense missions. The F-35 has three main models: the F-35A conventional takeoff and landing (CTOL) variant, the F-35B short take-off and vertical-landing (STOVL) variant, and the F-35C carrier-based Catapult Assisted Take-Off But Arrested Recovery (CATOBAR) variant.
- How a Million Pound 747-8 Tests It’s Brakes "Watch this amazing video of what happens when Boeing wants to make sure the carbon ceramic brakes on its new Boeing 747-8 work under the worst possible conditions. Specifically, Boeing has to simulate the worst possible conditions: a rejected take-off with no reverse thrusters on worn-out brakes. The result? Red-hot 2,552 degree brakes. Yowch! Boeing's 747-8 is the latest and most economical version of company's popular jumbo jet. As part of the testing procedure they have to put a maximum load on the landing gear to make sure it'll hold up in an emergency. To simulate the worst case scenario, the aircraft is fully fueled to the maximum weight (about 975K pounds), the brakes are worn down 100%, and a pilot is told to accelerate to a takeoff speed of 200 mph and then slam on the completely toasted brakes as if it were part of an aborted takeoff. Normally, the pilot would try to use reverse thrust to stop the plane and fire crews would be on hand within three minutes to start putting out the fire. In this experiment they assume the thrusters don't work and the fire crews are a full five minutes away. The result? It stopped about 700 feet short of the estimated length as the brakes glowed under the 1,400C (2,552F) heat."
