AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the feasibility of a safe flight capsule that can be ejected from a commercial airliner at 30,000 feet during emergencies. Participants highlight the need for clarity on the type of capsule and its design constraints. There is mention of existing technologies like Ballistic Recovery Parachute systems, which have been explored but are often dismissed by airlines due to weight concerns. The conversation emphasizes the challenges in ensuring stability and safety for passengers in such a capsule. Overall, the viability of this concept remains uncertain amidst practical limitations.

How can we bring stability to a safe flight capsule which is ejected at an altitude of 30000 feet in a commercial aircraft during disaster??

Hello Majid,

Could you provide a bit more context ? I mean: what kind of capsule, what are the constraints ? Is this an invention, or homework or is this brainstorming ?

Thread 'Race car suspension Class'

Posted June 2024 - 15 years after starting this class. I have learned a whole lot. To get to the short course on making your stock car, late model, hobby stock E-mod handle, look at the index below. Read all posts on Roll Center, Jacking effect and Why does car drive straight to the wall when I gas it? Also read You really have two race cars. This will cover 90% of problems you have. Simply put, the car pushes going in and is loose coming out. You do not have enuff downforce on the right...

Thread 'Cantilever help'

I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly

Thread 'What's the most likely cause for this carbon seal crack?'

We have a molded carbon graphite seal that is used in an inline axial piston, variable displacement hydraulic pump. One of our customers reported that, when using the “A” parts in the past, they only needed to replace them due to normal wear. However, after switching to our parts, the replacement cycle seems to be much shorter due to “broken” or “cracked” failures. This issue was identified after hydraulic fluid leakage was observed. According to their records, the same problem has occurred...
