Кто-то ушёл, кто-то родился
Жизнь на Земле не прекратится
Кто-то расстался, а кто-то влюбился
Кто-то устал, кто-то в поиске смысла
Семь миллиардов разных историй
Каждая жизнь книги достойна
Семь миллиардов особенных судеб
Все уникальны, повторений не будет

Могли бы умножить, но мы снова делим
Поступки других своей логикой мерим
А можно любить, беречь то, что бьётся
Ведь хватит нам всем места под солнцем
Семь миллиардов разных мелодий
Песня Вселенной звучит в каждой ноте
Семь миллиардов звёзд в отражении
Каждая жизнь имеет значение
На половину полон, наполовину пуст
На осколки разбит, но знаю, что соберусь
Сразу видно, куда ведет этот шелковый путь
Пусть пропасть или на глубину
Разницы нет. Мы все по одной цене
Каждому в ящик весточка за потребляемый свет
Мы самый важный сегмент, услышь меня человек
Мы чувствуем сердцем, а решаем все в голове
Тогда скажи мне, почему в груди холод и пустота
А в голову вечно лезут, устраивая бардак
И вместо тысячи слов, я выбрал одно объятье
Я с детства убежден, что люди друг другу братья
Но границы стали стенами, мысли - мой аргумент
В допуске только термины, внутрь сложных систем

@Kenetic Kups

G'day Infant.

For the record, the Post WW-2 Baby Boom lasted ONLY for the 10 years from February 1946 - when the Babies concieved during the drunken Street Orgies occurring to celebrate "VE-Day" commenced to be born..., until May 1956, which was 10 years after the Drunken Street Orgies held to celebrate "VP/VJ-Day".

The official story was that the DECADE long Baby Boom was a result of all the people who had refrained from initiating a Pregnancy because they were all too busy trying to kill Strangers, over Political Differences.

However, in fact the actual birthrate started to drop back in 1951, when Unkle Spam bogged itself in an Asian War on the Korean Peninsula

I was not born until 1961.

One of my sisters was a Boomer, (1947) but my other sister, my brother, and my mother (1939, 1941..., and 1936,) were all of the "Silent Generation" (1930 to 1945, the Great Depression & WW-2)...

When I started Kindergarten in 1966 the "Boomers" were 5 years ahead of my age Cohort..., we were regularly told why we were NOT "Boomers", and it was not until the 1980s that some demented wannabe Sociologists wanted to rave about "Generation X" that they began to PRETEND that the "Boomers" included everybody born from 1945 to 1970..., and idiots and ignoramuses sucked up that Lie.

Anybody with any integrity agrees that as the "Boomers" were a Decadal Phenomenon and as a Generation lasts for FIFTEEN Years, and as Gen-X didn't show up till after 1970...; then in fact Everybody born between 1957 and 1972 - after the Boomers and prior to GenX, are in fact the SPACE CADET Generation.

We were born between Sputnik-1 and Apollo 17..., we grew up watching My Favourite Martian, The Jetsons, I Dream of Genie, and Atom Ant on TV - and we all expected that Human Space Flight, and Space Colonisation, was all imminently about to become ubiquitous...

And it never happened.

Ho Chi-Minh ethnically-cleansed the Moon of all AmeriKans (with the cost of losing in Vietnam) and Nixon put 3 Apollo Moonshots into Museums and then he pimped the Pentagonal Haemorrhoids to fight the designated Enemies of King Saud, wherever they may be - for continued US access to OPEC Oil, and an agreement binding OPEC to only sell Oil for US Dollars, which magically created a "Value" for the US Greenback at a time when Unkle Spam's EcoGnomie was internationally bankrupt.

The Boomers have trashed the Planet.

I am NOT a Boomer.

For 32 years I have paid the Council Rates on the hundred acre Endangered Species Sanctuary within which I reside.

Backtrack moi to my Playlists, if you care to dare to fact-check that..., of the 18 scrolls, 5 are Wildlife Encounters, sorted by Species.

The Booroolong Frog (Littoria booroolongensis) is the only Species which I've taken in when it was "Rare & Threatened" in 1996, which was declared "Biologically Extinct" in 1998, which sheltered here through the 10-year Millenial Drought, and in 2011 when I posted Video of the 180,000 Booroolong Tadpoles swimming wild in one if 3 Dams within my Boundaries..., was taken off the Extinct List and is now "only" Critically Endangered.

Border Striped Geckos (Endangered) live here too, and Bent-Winged Pippistrelles use my old Coats hanging under my Verhanda Roof as an Emergency Outlanding Station when trapped by a sudden Sunrise after a cloudy Moonlit night - 3 miles from their Colony in a Cave over the River.

What have YOU done, personally, to try cleaning up the mucking fess which the actual bloody selfish Boomers have made of every Ecology within the Biosphere ?

Just(ifably ?) askin',

Such is life.

Have a good one...

Stay safe.

;-p

Ciao !

@tommyfred6180

@Biały i get your point and your sadly failed to get my point. the photo showing a b-29 with grand slam payload was, and is something people getting confused over.

they are just mockup bombs. the test was to see if the bomb would "fly" nothing more. not one person involved questioned if the b-29 could take the load. but the aerodynamics was a different thing. as it was it was found that the grand slam messed big time with the aircrafts stability. so the test, even if the British had been willing to give them real bombs to play with, was bind.

the fact is the b-29 could not safely carry the bomb type and never carried a real grand slam. just mockup models.

as for your point about the b-29 carrying the fat man and little boy. that again is off point and irrelevant. remember Lancaster's carried test mock ups of both the fat man and little boy. it was also intended for them to carry them to target at one point and three Lancaster's got converted and sent down to stand by to do the job.

but no one makes the jump people are making over the grand slam thing. by saying that Lancaster's carried nukes'.

hope you now get the point mate. have a good new year.

Apart from the undercarriage, this aircraft does seem quite well designed. Any wing is designed to induce drag, and depending on shape, a thick wing can work perfectly well.

The pace of aviation in general is incredible. You could be born in 1890s, and live to see aa man on the moon. Only 66 years between the first powered flight, 1903, and the moon landing in 1969. Like, sure, having a Civil War veteran stand next to a F-100 Super Saber is cool, but imagine being just a kid when planes were created, and seeing all developments culminate in a man on another planet.

At the very end of the video - this plane flew 30 years after the wright brothers' first flight. Incredible.
The first flight could have taken off from one end of the wing and landed at the other end with room to spare (120' vs 173 '). Mind blowing.

@Bialy_1

2y↑13

More mind blowing is how Bolsheviks were lying about everything... even the name of the Bolshevik faction is a solid prove of that, Lenin faction was only a small minority so he called his faction Bolsheviks->"bolshoy"="bigger" and the real majority of communists were called by him Mensheviks=>minority(and this is the official name of them to this day and thx to the ignorance of Russians Lenin faction was in the end a majority...).
Only picture of this plane in air is super small resolution and of very bad quality it is safe to assume that only the pictures that are sharp are real and all of them were made on the ground.
Pilot and the whole crew died before anyone was able to see this plane in the air and the designer of the plane was executed for no good reason apparently...

@rancidpitts8243

@Biały Stalin loved keeping the People off balance by Executing totally loyal, innocent, and needed followers. Everyone knew that many who died or sent to the Gulags were just random people with no crimes or political opinions. The NKVD was tasked with totals of people to exile and to execute; men, women, and children. Sometimes the NKVD were given a list of names and what to do with them.

@EneTheGene

2y↑25

@Biały I think you go a bit far in assuming the plane never flew. Perhaps an approach from a more neutral point of view is better. I mean, we have the design, someone would have certainly already pointed out if it wasn't airworthy.

Don't assume everything soviet is false, but also don't assume what they say is true. Judge on a case-by-case basis.

Less then a year later the ANT-20 "Maxim Gorky" would fly, a plane that fully loaded, was 10 tons heavier, and it would fly for almost a decade. And while there are very few pictures of the K-7, there are loads of pictures of the ANT-20 in flight.

Interesting how the accepted design of previous means of transport so heavily influence the initial designs of the following inovations. For instance, early cars were literally 'horseless' carriages, and the first passenger cars/carriages on trains were pretty much road coaches on railway wheels. And here we see it again, with early passenger planes adopting the expectations and norms of ocean-going transport. But that phase is only short-lived - once the new method of transport stops being seen as a replacement for the earier type and finds its own purpose, then the design evolves into something unique and much more fitting to the role of the new means of transport..

@paulhaynes8045

2y↑3

@FormerDRiver I was thinking exactly that the other day! I tried to imagine how it would evolve, but didn't get far. If you imagine a car with batteries underneath and motors on the wheels, there is no need for an engine compartment, so you just get rid of the front of the car? We've got used to that being there, so would we feel safe without it in front of us? Maybe use it as s boot/trunk instead - but then what do you do with the back of the car? As you can see, I couldn't get the traditional shape/idea of a car out of my mind! Or maybe, after 100 years, we're so used to that form that this will be the exception to the 'rule' and we'll stick to the three box design?

Great observation! This thing is basically an airship with the gas envelope replaced by a wing. There's a very similar process of evolution when new materials appear. The Iron Bridge in Telford was the world's first cast iron structure, and as such there was no precedent for how to make connections and joints in the new material. The designers turned to what they knew, wood, so the cast iron bridge was assembled with dovetail joints and tenons. A similar thing happened when carbon fibre was first used in bicycle frames - builders retained traditional lugged construction and just replaced alloy tubes with carbon ones. It took a while before the entire frame was made all in one continuous piece, taking full advantage of carbon's benefits.

@Richard Strach Messerschmit inc - You probably didn't pay attention to the video. Severe vibration caused the starboard fuselage boom to fail. This is the most probable reason for the crash.

@Scooter George got it , the designer was a Bolshevik Marxist communist, that kinda lost interest with me as I know their crimes and lies . However , aviation engineering is always interesting.
Wings only stabilize an aircraft the tail steers it - only brute power of trust makes thing fly - even gliders are falling and steer and stabilize the fuselage. All that shit about curved wings and pressure is bullshit.
This plane must have a lot of power . Probably a German v12 design, imitation. Ok enuff , thanks for the correction

Then... the lower wing retracted into the upper wing. Soooo...after all the retracting what was left was high wing monoplane fighter with only the tail wheel still showing. My info source is: "War Planes of the Second World War" (Fighters) by, William Green. p. 150

@Bialy_1

@Erik Ross With the difference that it was in the air and there is no doubt about it not to mention that the plane survived this experiment.
In case of the Soviet Russia the only picture of the plane in the air is super bad resolution and the picture is super bad even for that crapy resolution... all the pictures that looks real are on the ground so in my oponion the plane most likely broke apart during the first "flight"... the whole crew died and the designer was executed.

I think it got too close to the wingtip and got caught in the wingtip vortex, which drew the fighter toward it like a vacuum cleaner.

Minor clarification on the "battleship gun" for the K-7 - as described in the 2018 Issue 14 of "Tehnika Molodezhy" Russian historical magazine - the original, real proposal was to arm the K-7 with six of Kurchevsky's 305mm recoilless rifles, one version of which were tested earlier on a Soviet Navy destroyer (to find photos just look up "Engels 305mm Kurchevsky" - without quotes). In the short-barrel version, Kurchevsky's 305mm "recoilless howitzer" weighed 5.5 tons, so it was light enough to mount even on a 3-axle cargo truck, and since the exhaust gases were vented out the back, there was basically no recoil (earlier Kurchevsky had more or less successfully tested his 76mm and 100mm recoilless guns on single-engine fighters like the Grigorovich I-Z and twin-engine heavy fighters like the Tupolev DIP). Mounting the 305mm recoilless gun on the K-7 would still have been an immensely foolish idea, and the plane would not have been able to carry six of them, but it was seriously proposed by Kurchevsky, who was much too obsessed with his recoilless guns, and was eventually executed for "wasting government resources" on "impractical weapon systems"

10:26 - while I love both the Kalinin and the Antonov, as well as top-down "shmups" (shooting videogames), it's clear to see that the early graphical fussing-around with the Antonov and its ludicrous smashing force of 200 or so battleship cannons, throwing shells willy-nilly, would make for the best biggest big bad boss battle ever on a CRT screen. Take your time, shoot the flashing vunerable spots, and enjoy when it finally breaks into flaming bits.

In fact, if you're a real prop-head or armor-piercer, the side-scrolling USAAF P-51 arcade machine can be enjoyed like Where's Waldo while waiting your turn. In-game, you're automatically switched between Pacific and Atlantic theatres and their respective war machinery, with each successful sortie (shoot down or destroy a cluster of mini-bosses or one really big boss). Jot your answers for the ones you knew, or just guessed at, in secret, or memo-pad them on your phone, with an "aircraft & armor" coffee-table-crusher art & factbook, compare hits & misses, and crown a champion for knowing most of the small yet clearly depicted pixel warplanes, tanks, and the rest.

@mpetersen6

In combat. Trials of a copy of the grand slam were undertaken with a modified B-29. Bomb hung on an underwing pylon.

@tommyfred6180

@mpetersen6 mate the b-29 never dropped a proper grand slam. only mockups.

the british refused to give the US a real one as they had none to waste. if japan had stayed in the war. the Lancaster's the british sent down to be used to drop fat man and little boy. would have been used to drop any grand slams on japan. the b-29 was supposedly found to be unstable when dropping grand slam mockups. the bomb seems to have messed with the airflow over the tail. this was the exact issue reported after dropping fat man and when dropping some of the first X craft to.

@Bialy_1

2y↑1

@tommy fred @tommy fred mate he never said that they droped the bomb the whole point is that the plane was capable of taking two grand slams at once and you can easly find picture of the B-29 in the air with two grand slams under the wing and the description of the picture is that the B-29 never droped them in combat.
And even if the plane was using some non live version of the bomb for the test its safe to assume that the "mockups" was identical in the size and most importantly the mass. Doing test like that with some wooden mockups would be just silly excercise and waste of fuel.
B-29 droped two much more powerfull payloads during WW2 and in comparison to the two type of devices that B-29 droped the Grand Slam looks like a toy (Grand Slam got inside only 4,309 kg of torpex D1 and the uncertainty of power of the two devices droped Hiroshima and Nagasaki is in multiple hundereds of tones of TNT...).

@Tallorian

1y↑1

I'm sure it would have been a solution, but such engines/upgrades weren't available at the time. Notably better engines entered production only by the end of 1930s. But by that time there was no rationality in producing things of such an outdated design as K-7. But they were used on Pe-8, a heavy bomber which was smaller than K-7 but still impressive, larger than B-17 for instance.

Another weirdly insane Russian design. One has to wonder what they were smokin' or mixed with their vodka, or if their rye bread had ergot in it. Even today, their designs are still funky compared to the rest of the world.

@ZaJaClt

They had ridiculous quotas and ideas, it was all about bigger, better etc. Obviously by 1930s standarts, plus you just had the civil war which wiped off most of intelligent people who were either dead, emigrated (sikorsky) or scared into submission. Free thinking wasn't a thing so everything was redwashed

@GaryBickford

2y↑38

One wonders why it had those heavy, complex, aerodynamically bad structures for the wheels. It seems that a much smaller wheel carriage that carried the plane much closer to the ground would have worked much better. Maybe put a stairway in the center line, that drops down when on the ground.

@stevenborham1584

2y↑4

Perhaps they thought that ground effect would cause this aircrafts enormous wing to behave too unpredictably if it were any nearer to the ground. Although I think of the Bristol Brabazon with its similarly deep wing and it seemed to do OK on its fairly low undercarriage.
