 https://1000aircraftphotos.com/Contributions/6151.htm posted:02/28/2007. Remarks by Johan Visschedijk: "The Ariete (Ram) was the second design by Ing. Sergio Stefanutti and built by Aerfer. It differed mainly from its predesessor Sagittario (Archer) 2 by the altereations to the fuselage to adopt the 1,810 lb (821 kg) st. Rolls-Royce Soar R.Sr.2 turbojet in addition to the 3,600 lb (1,633 kg) st. Rolls-Royce Derwent 9 turbojet. The Soar engine was used to boost performance on take off, climb and combat, air was fed through a retractable dorsal intake. First flight of the sole aircraft was made on March 27, 1958. A planned third design, the Leone (Lion), also with mixed-power, was abondoned." has to be such a narrow window of engine development when this makes any sense at all

The original design for the Tupolev Tu-14 (the 'Aircraft 73') used roughly this same concept, with an RD-500 in the tail for use on takeoff and boosts over the target area. This was in 1947.

For a point of comparison, the F4 Phantom's first flight was exactly 2 months after the Ariete, even in the 50s, it seems a little, uh, delayed to be messing around with booster jet engines in a fighter by the 1960s

From what I know of P-8 crews the blue balling was extremely deliberate.

There's an infamous video of the Washington State Patrol catching a lot of their coworkers on the way to a conference somewhere (and letting them go).

On aerobatic aircraft, people often screw the inspection plates together airframe, like this: the outer screws are not typical on slower speed planes like Cubs and stuff. Unfortunately, some people miss that what's going on is that the inspection plate is being TK screwed to the support tab behind the plate, and they drill right through the plastic ring that you glue to the fabric in order to make an inspection hole. This weakens the inspection ring, and it eventually breaks:  https://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/pnpages/09-19300.php has a photo of what the inspection plates normally look like, which should help with understanding that if you screw the plate to itself, the tension will be higher, but if you screw through an inspection ring (https://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/cspages/inspectring.php) the ring will eventually break, at which point the fabric itself is holding the inspection plate in place. That was very exciting, and now I get to make a patch and repair the damaged butyrate dope finish under the supervision of my local A&P. I wish it hadn't happened right after a long annual, but I don't blame anyone for not catching this ahead of time.

That was my least-favorite part of becoming an A&P. Dope is nasty stuff. Oddly, my second-favorite part was fabric stitching. Comes in very handy much more often than I would have thought.

babyeatingpsychopath posted:But... They make inspection plates that have screws in them already! You've got two inner screws, but they still have a reputation for coming off. Prop blast, 200 mph VNE, and 6G all work together to make plates fail. I'd have taken a regular inspection plate falling off over this though, when a plate goes normally, it doesn't take fabric and paint with it.

They could have gotten a better headline out of that by playing up the connection between Australia and venomous snakes before giving it the twist.
