Ok so cool it is Saturday morning January the 15th 2011 and here on this page we are configuring the weight and
balance of differant ideas about Christafer Robin and Udets Platform spaceships.
First you must remember that in aircraft that fly through the air usualy is
that they are mostly single hull configerations but on a airplane spaceship there has to be muti-hull configurations.
In aircraft the area around the powerplant is usualy called the natacel and is very
often not much more then thin sheetmetal or composite.Its job is to stream line the airflow around the powerplant but in spaceships
are or is there going to be a multi-hull configuration that is air tight?
To design an airtight multi- hull natacel requires usualy more weight and that
changes the weight and balance of the aircraft and changes its flight control system and if the aircraft is big and has never
flown before you can see the complications that can arise from the endevor.
Balancing the design of the flight controls to the pilots flight control system
and figuring out the fantastic speeds that it will travel over the flight controls all are things the designer has to think
about.
How much more will the aircraft weigh?What about the structural integrety of the
internal and external airframe and hull?
And will the powerplant be able to develop enouph power to keep the aircraft from
underpower conditions and get the aircraft off the ground.
The internal structure of an airframe is important too as the entire weight of the
aircraft must be able to be picked up and weighed, with a giant aircraft is this imposible?In regular sized aircraft the jacking
points are known as hard points and built right into the internal structure of the aircraft.
Not only that but the structure must be able to hold the weight of a vibrating
revolving spinning powerplant and operate for a long period of time.
You can see above in these maintenance sheets there is a discussion about
Datium lines and and how differant configurations differ.
How will the aircraft be put together? Rivets, oversized bolts and nuts of
aircraft quality?
During WW2 some very fast aircraft were hand crafted out of wood and
glued or epoxied together. If you wanted to use titanium special extra powerful machine tools have to be used because the
metal is so hard.And titanium is very expensive.
The whole configuration of the aircraft and its relationship to how
it is put together and taken apart are the most important. The engineering costs of maintenance and repair and its interrelationship
to the configuration not only of the aircraft but the giant size maintenance stands use to service the aircraft when it is
on the ground relates greatly to how the aircraft is first invisioned and put together and taken apart.
One look at what a trillion dollars looks like in $100.00 dollar bills and
the close call of an asteroid in 2029 can make this project a no lauphing matter circumstance in a New York minute.
What a project huh! And little Tinkerbell sitting in Moline drawing
aircraft and spaceships on his kitchen table and finding that book in Wheaton Illinois library about the Luftwaffe and Oberlutenant
Helmut Lent and then finding out only after I went back to Florida that Wheaton was home base for an organization about reicarnation
in America. Whew my head still spins to the ramifacations relating to the subject.
