    Failure of Sparcraft Wings on my Aerobatic Aircraft

    Pictures... construction photo's are not the same as the actual kit. That is what these wings need to be safe...The pro's who have been breaking airplanes doing acro know this from experience. The general public however does not. I know a lot about building aircraft but I do not know about...

    What are the cooling methods used to keep satellites from overheating?

    Excuse my ignorance. I just didn't understand the heat dissipation part. The heat dissipates at a much slower rate than in atmospheric conditions. So it is tricky to remove the produced heat before it becomes to hot and burns out...

    Failure of Sparcraft Wings on my Aerobatic Aircraft

    Well on that website there is no way to reach the forum moderater. I am currently suspended and with no way to reach anyone I do not now how long it will last. Other people probably have not had the same problems yet. Reason being the wing kit has not been out for even 2 years yet. For someone...

    What are the cooling methods used to keep satellites from overheating?

    So your saying that even though its freezing up there the heat will stay in the same spot? Not transfer to cool. Then how do comets collect ice?? Or why are they mostly ice. Why is there ice in space? Are you saying the matter that formed the ice was ice before it entered space?? Or do comets...

    Use of pitot static tube for calculation of airplane velocity

    I would like to add the little bit of knowledge I have being a aircraft mechanic. Most pitot tubes are in one of three locations. The most common on the bottom of the wing 2/3 rds out from the fuse. These are in the shape of an L . The oldest style is the venturi tube mounted on the side of the...

    Are Composite Airframes Like the 787 Prone to Long-term Failures?

    I work with composites. I have nothing bad to say about them. There are so many different types of composite and composite process. The technology has come a long way. You have fiberglass kevlar composite and various blends of pure resin with many materials making up it's composition. With any...

    What are the cooling methods used to keep satellites from overheating?

    I'm a pilot and I have an open cockpit aircraft. It is really cold at 5000ft msl. If its 80 degrees Fahrenheit on the ground it's 40 degrees or so minus the wind chill. So its about zero. I would say in space it's probably a lot colder than that. I think the necessary question is how does a...

    What is Tubes Assembly and Manifold for engines?

    Tube assembly?? I am assuming by manifold you mean the aircraft sump. The manifold is on the other side of the carburetor or fuel servo if fuel injected. The intake tubes disperse the air fuel mixture from the manifold to each cylinder.The engine oil is also in the sump. They run intake air...

    Failure of Sparcraft Wings on my Aerobatic Aircraft

    Well Last week I was on a website called the biplane forum. I posted a topic about a very serious real world problem. I own a pitts S1S aircraft. This aircraft is an experimental aircraft. Not certified. Pitts are very popular airplanes in the aerobatic world. There are many different models...
