Ok so cool huh?!! These primative consept sketches show something of understanding the geometry
of design configuration techniques.That flow with the avialable technical know how and to somewhat ascertain the technical
know how that we don't know how.In aviation engineering there are civil engineering standards and technology and military
standards and technology and of course there is experimental technology.Since the beginnings of airfoil development started
in models (from the movie with Jimmy Stewart who crashed their airplane in the desert and built a craft out of the wreckage
to fly them out of the wilderness and to rescue in the 1960's,called,"The Flight Of The Phoenix"), in the 1800's and
later to the Wright Brothers and then to military concepts of WW1. Basic simple known tasks in aircraft manufacture can
be insurmountable development quests when size and assemby come together.How much of the airframe is in what stages are hand
build is what size pieces and strength related concepts of airfoil management in the reentry of spacecraft into the atmosphere.And
the loads put on the landing gear and the powerplant mounting systems with a large or giant propeller spinning at 4000 Rpm.
With some idea about what the confguration of Christafer Robin looks like and knowing the basic
why you can start to entertain differant transcriptions from the basic idea.Such as what about the pulse jets operating forward
out on the wing roots to help get the heavy aircraft full of rocket propellants off the runway.
Now after Tinkerbells and Karla's adventure in Texas he went back to work as a civilian helictpoter
mechanic for the goverment.One day doing some heavy type maintenance on a vibration in an old Natioal guard helicopter in
his contemplation of Christafer Robin he had been stuck as to how to attach the landing gear to the airframe without
major development into the fittings and ccastings required to connect the assembly.Watching an old film showing an ME-109
take off and seeming slowness of the landing gear retraction Tinkerbell could tell this was a major point to consider.The
hydralic system and the size and weight of the landing gear all mattered.Working on the old Huey Tinkerbell was adjusting
shims in the transmission mounts when he came across the idea to make the giant landing gear fitttings out of shims.Engineering
standards that make up the geometry of jet aircraft that land and take off all the time may not be relavent in a giant-airplane
spaceship that takes off and lands every once in a while as it goes into its space mission mode.The tolorances needed
may just do the trick with shim casting assembly development.
Now what about the Photon engines your going to replace the pulse jets with when Christfer Robin's
in orbit readying it for deep space missions.And then what about Udets Platform that does the service orbiter work?
