Uhhh, what are you talking about? A lot of the injuries and deaths that happen in car crashes are caused by people being "thrown free" from the crash when they don't have their seatbelt on. And you do know that we are talking about a spacecraft here, right?
Here's a pretty good site with coordinate data. I used it for a Catia model once. If you want data on the performance of the airfoil as well, such as polar curves, here is another site. Anyways, one thing to take note of is that not all modern airplanes use modern airfoils. For example, the Gulfstream GIV uses a modified NACA airfoil.
The problem with doing that is that a video game rating of M is basically equivalent to a rating of R, and in video stores, R movies are featured in the main parts of video stores, whereas the video equivialent of NC-17 movies which are usually put in the back of video stores a rated AO (Adults Only). My point is that if you put M games in a special section, you have to put R movies in a special section too.
So does anyone know why the shuttle launches do this but not the Russian or ESA rockets?
I am neither a rocket scientist nor a metereologist, but my best guess would be that it has to do with the space shuttle rockets (not the boosters, but the main thrusters on the space shuttle) being powered by Oxygen and Hydrogen which creates a lot of hot water when it fires.
Electroluminescent Lighting (EL) is a currently available area illumination. It's often used in watches and pda's (Indiglo, the green backlights on palms)
i have a sv24. I just converted the power supply fan to 5v, put a temperature controlled fan in the back, and since I have a via c3 in there, I put a heatsink on it without a fan. Now without the hard drive it is silent. Stupid hard drive.
First of all, this is much, much, mcuh simpler than a "normal" helicopter (a.k.a. one with a Main rotor and a tail rotor to counteract the torque of the main rotor.) This has two coaxial counter rotating rotors that driven by four engines. The standard directions controlled by the main rotor on a conventional helicopter (roll and pitch) are controlled by moving the whole upper head (the engines, transmission, and rotors), the altitude is controlled by changing the speed of the two rotors at the same time, and rotation is controlled by changing the speed of the rotors independtly (slowing one down and speeding one up). The four engines entail one of the safety devices, because the helicopter can fly with only 3 engines and can land with full control with only 2 engines. The ballistic (a.k.a. rocket powered) parachute mounted above the rotors gives this thing another safety device, because even if you lose all of your engines (the rotor) you can still deploy the parachute and save yourself and the helicopter.
With regards to the price of this thing, I'd say it is very reasonable. Engines of that size and weight (magnesium crankcase and aluminum cylinders make for 10hp out of 7 lbs) are definately not cheap, especially considering they are custom, and the transmission is the heart of the machine, custom, light, and also quite pricy.
except that they probably are "waterproof" to 100 meters. ALl of the casio and timex watches that I've run into have drowned in repetitive 20 feet of water.

Firebird is definitely the best.
Hey, especially if Bush gets reelected!
More wars = More lost limbs = more demand for prosthetics = Profit!
I'd have to disagree with you on that one. I mean really, do we want our top engineers in the country leaving loose fingers laying about?

Man, what a lame subject to have a dupe about. Or an almost dupe.
Also, unless I'm not mistaken, they went right through the TFR around Disneyland. That might cause a bit of trouble as well.
Shit, it's more like we don't even have time to drink enough too pee. God, this place sucks.

You could click on the link that says Maskirova. It looks like he has a aeriel photography biz in Alaska.
Makes sense to me, they probably are the best at finding it.
Actually its 100km. Get with the program.

yeah, but you do the same stuff as the code-monkey in the cubicle next to you that took courses for 6 months to a year at the local commmunity course
You must be one of those anal people that calls tar "bituminous"

Is there something I'm missing, or is it a "good idea" to sell CRAP and cram it down consumers' throats?
Yes.
Yeah... but only if the sell a BFG 3000
43? Wouldn't 42 be more appropriate?
...ask slashdot questions are getting so incredibly easy to make fun of, I'm not even going to bother with this one...

Speaking of which, at the Aerospace Engineering building where I go, all of the signs that say laser have been modified to say "laser"
