Ok so cool here is some pictures out of the book, Structures, Or why things don't fall
down. In this section they talk about Anthony Fokkers development of the D-8 mono-plane fighter of WW1.As you can tell from
the picture is the term,"torsion box", a very interesting term. Also as you read the story it talks about CP the center of
pressure.As part of the story goes because of accidents the authorities stregthen the wing by adding more material and
this cause more problems from changing the center of pressure of the wing. They talk about the D-8 being in a test rig and
a load on the wing by adding more material they actualy made the wing weaker. By this time Fokker could not depend on the
authorities and took over the development himself.This time he loaded of another D-8 in his factory and as it was being loaded
he took time to measure the deflections.He found that not only would the wing tips rise with respect to the fuselage when
the airplane pulled out of a dive, but the wings also twisted when no obvious twisting loads were applied. It became obvious
after pondering the problem late at night that when the nose pull up the load increased, but at the same time the wing twisted
so that the air loads on the wing rose disproportionately; so the wings twisted more,so the loads rose still more and so on
untill the pilot no longer had any control over the situation and the wings twisted off this is called a"divergent condition".
As you read on you find out about," centres of flexsure" and "centres of pressure". There is a always
a center of Flexsure associated with every sort of beam or beam like structure.
"Torsional defection", as well as the usual," bending deflection".happen when vertical loads appied
and loads at fore and aft position. By reading this section of the book you'll learn a little about," lift distrabution across
an airfoil". Differential bending another term in here.It talks about the differance betwen the biplane and the monoplane,
Holy cow! and Tinkerbell wants his aircraft-transatmospheric-interplanetaryspaceship to fly
backwards too!
Ok so cool we have the pictures explaining to the eye about what things can go wrong and what
you have to think about traveling back from outerspace into the atmosphere the speeds can be as much or more then 12000 miles
an hour and more when one of the space shuttles broke up over Texas because of a damaged wing the concuring of events showed
they think that the damaged wing forced the space shuttle upside down (since the top of the space shuttle is differant from
the bottom of the space shuttle, it broke up when the top of the space shuttle faced the pressures of the air as in was desending
into the atmosphere of reentry). How does this make us think about the design of Christafer Robin and Udets Platform? Like
we reported earlier part of the space shuttles structure is made out of titainum which Kelly Johnson from Lockheed had
a hard time getting regular machine tools to work on. and the space shuttles tiles took three weeks to put 4 of them on and
the space shuttle has 44 differant thrusters.Tinkerbell thinks you should go to your cards and ponder the matter a little
bit.
We have showed you a little bit about weight and balance for an airplane but what
about weight and balance for vertical lift vehicals? Doesn't the space shuttle use a gyroscope as it kind of turns at liftoff?
Ok so thinking about the space shuttle the shuttle,"Discovery", lifted off the other
day at one minute before midnight and as it was approching the international space station a crittical thruster was leaking
and had to shut down they made the docking but as the astronaunts started to go to work a chunk of space junk from an
old european rocket approched the spacestation and the shuttle it passed with in 14 football feilds and now the astronauts
are setting about wires or cables or something like an ammonia tank for coolant if Tinkerbell has his information right.
Ok so cool this page now shows the or a layout of what Tinkerbell thought up long ago on Grandpa
Tinkerbell's kitchen table when he was drawing airplanes and spaceships Index cards to move around and put formulas and numbers
and scientific laws and study them (but we think someone stoled the idea) you can move them around and change the information
the idea is simply invaluable). When you organize and catagorize stuff and go to aviation school and learn what to organize
and catagorize you can reach a break through many times in your spaceship airplane giant interplanetary aircraft development
concepts.Tinkerbell Johnson Air Boy Tibet Inc.FLAPresident.
The Discovery space shuttle is back in Florida after landing in California it costs about 2
million dollars to ready the shuttle to make the trip across the country.
The international spacestation has had some close calls with space junk comming near it. It
was built in differant sections in differant countrys at great cost Tinkerbell thinks it was reported that when you move around
in it it has differant smells eminating from the differant sections.
Ok so while we're discussing airplanes and spaceships as you can gather the world is a infinate
place to be about a great many things.When at this moment we are waiting on the state of Florida to send us a disincorporation
notice for our little web site company Air Boy Tibet Inc. Which Tinkerbell is the president so we can have the chance of reincorporating
in the future. Tinkerbell thought that he'd tell you a little about Willey Messershmitt.First this picture of a WW1 Fokker
fighter plane that you can read about in this book, "Stuctures", was about WW1 and aviation development both at the
corporate level and the goverment level as you read the section in the book.Willey Messerschmitt was given a medical deferment
from military service and studied engineering.After the war he started a little mail plane manufacturing company that flew
the daily reports from one place to another in post WW1 Europe. When you look at his old mail planes they kinda look
kind of funny but in those days there was no real school for aviation engineering. at about his professional career Willey
worked on what was called a reinforced fire wall,(kinda like a bulkhead that separates the engine compartment from the rest
of the airplane), by working on this aircraft Tinkerbell thinks were able to have more powerfull heavier engines and paved
the way for the famious Messerschmitt fighter plane of 1935. And his famious company Messerschmitt AG of Augsberg Germany.
