Sterndotstern posted:The odd wingshape supposedly results from an attempt to make an efficient wing at every airspeed. I've always wondered if that wing design and engine configuration could be applied to a big solar-powered aircraft or maybe a military heavy refueling tanker. That's definitely a cool little video. I wonder why those inboard nacelles didn't have jet engines fitted to them - they certainly look like they were crafted to fit them.  I wonder how feasible it would be to have a refueling plane that just glided along in the jetstream, only turning its engines enough to stay in the currents, and relying on the wind (and solar) for lift? Hmmm... Maybe NASA's going to resurrect it for public consumption. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ADiOaZBKKI http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blended_wing_body  Ha! Even a goddamn pdf explaining all the inherent advantages and disadvantages.  http://oea.larc.nasa.gov/PAIS/pdf/FS-1997-07-24-LaRC.pdf Damnit, I want to see these replacing conventional passenger planes right loving now.

When the going gets downright impossible, get a Unimog. Apparently Mercedes makes a souped-up "Black" version as well (incorrectly identified as a Brabus). Future models will have eco-friendly Bluetec engines too...

Was he pulled over by cops and then just scoot off when they weren't looking? This is the same guy who pretended to be on a volleyball team during a game, and a tennis player, and kicked a soccer ball in retarded places, if I recall correctly.

If you can watch this clip without having your jaw hanging wide open for pretty much the entire thing, you're either blind, or have never seen an airplane before. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EmM_UPU7bcY&feature=rec-HM-r2

Boat posted:Hahaha Jesus Christ that Taurus was spectacular. Along the same lines it's either really difficult to run nitrous through a carb'd lawnmower engine, or Briggs & Stratton build some seriously hard core engines. Doesn't make me feel as bad about running my lawnmower on used motorcycle oil for the past two years. That must be downright humane treatment compared to this.
