Low speed flight characteristic are crucial to safety. Those aircraft that have good flight characteristics at low speeds are favored by pilots and the companies, military, NGO or private individuals who operate them. One way to increase positive slow speed flight characteristics is to install vertical gates on top of the wings of the aircraft to keep the air flowing over the wing at slow speeds. The only problem is that at high speeds these gates may also cause increased parasite drag which effects performance.

So you are in the pressure washer business and you want to clean the local docks at the Marina. Good plan, let us give you a little advice on this. First you have to sell the account. Explain to the marina manager or the dock master or municipal purchasing agent that their clientele and/or citizens will be very impressed to see that this normally much neglected area of the marina and/or pier is being taken care of and cleaned. It's going to make it much more presentable. The clientele will be happier, therefore will be more likely to keep their moorage in storage there and be happy-paying customers for long into the future. Explain to the dock master or marina manager also that it can be a safety issue. The cleaner and less slippery their docks are the better and safer it's going to be for their clientele. This is also a good selling point. This is an easier sell to government agencies since everyone wants to stay away from lawsuits.

New Military acoustic torpedo will kill the inbound weapon by pre-detonating it while in route. Think of it as a sound wall in the water being send out from a Navy Ship or Nuclear Submarine; a defense system literally of the future. Imagine how this changes submarine warfare? Even if you can find it, you will not be able to hit it.

Aberdeen Washington is a port city, it is located inland in Gray's Harbor. Aberdeen and it's surrounding area would make an excellent place to own a business. We believe that a small service business by adding the nearby cities to the service territory there would be ample population base to run a very good small Business. The surrounding cities include: Hoquiam just West, Cosmopolis just South East. Also East are the towns of Central Park, Melbourne, Montesano. Together these areas total population is over 34,000 and growing and with unincorporated areas surrounding you have another 8,000 making over 44,000 people who need services and products there.

Bathroom seat with a view; That’s right! The all-new A-380 is trying to make air-travel fun again, with a bathroom with a view. But Airbus is not the only commercial aircraft company, which has their shit together. Boeing is also planning as a standard feature on its 787 airliners to have a window in the laboratories. Will this get more air travelers out of their SUVs and into airliners for those 350 plus mile journeys? Some industry analysts think it just might be the ticket the market sector needs.

Boeing announced it is now offering a 777 Airliner in a Cargo Configuration. This will make it the largest twin-engine cargo plane in the world. Since the Boeing 777 is has one of the best fuel efficiency ratings and range it makes it an ideal aircraft for air-cargo companies. The 777 Freighter is capable of flying 4,965 miles at full payload. The 777 maximum takeoff weight is 766,000 lbs. and can carry 229,000 pounds of cargo. These are incredible stats and it insures Boeing many more orders to come. Boeings future in commercial aviation will be largely a matter of air cargo demands in the years to come.

So you have planned a trip to Las Vegas, forget that. It hit 116 degrees the other day. As a perpetual tourist let me recommend Atlantic City, a city for lovers over the city that never sleeps in Nevada. At 116 degrees the nighttime lows are well above 100 degrees and you can’t sleep. At 10:00 it was still 107 degrees. Humans do not function well at those temperatures and despite the claim that it is a dry heat so it is okay; well, that is not exactly true. You see in the last 8 years Las Vegas has experienced explosive growth and due to all the shrubbery, lawns, landscaping and golf courses there is significant humidity.
