Excuse me, but raw data re Europa accidents is freely available from www.aaib.dft.gov.uk/publications/bulletins.cfm (vastly most of the cases) and from http://ntsb.gov/ntsb/query.asp#query_start -- b

RF energy harms body tissue by heating it, as in a microwave oven, which is continuous energy. However, my oven on the defrost setting zaps the food only periodically, like on for X seconds and off f
The radiating pattern on a 1/4-wave monopole (the common xponder stubbie thing, or whip-type comm antenna) is a half-donut. Sliced laterally, so each half has a hole. See Above is theoretical in one
Re the Archer dipole, there is nothing theoretical to suggest it should work any better. Like any dipole, it should be more sensitive to nearby metal elements to degrade performance (including its ow
In the interest of adding my amateur science here [ ;-) ], I have this digital, infrared temperature reading, gun thingy which is remarkably accurate. Have also an SUV with much sculpting on the body
I don't understand this one. How does the PFA know to what speed you did the test? If there's no enforcement mechanism, this is ludicrous. I cannot think of any gov't requirement here where we must c
Wait a minute here. The quoted cite sounds authoritative, but U.S. Regs for production aircraft state that Vne must be marked on the ASI. If we got enough of a turbocharger to get to like FL450, we c
I used FL 450 only to exaggerate the raw effect of reduced aerodynamic pressure, and other things happen with really high performance aircraft way up there. However, FAR Part 23 is clear that Vne is
Why is any technical article found on the internet authoritative? Why wouldn't the FAA care enough to fix their Regs? People die when airplanes break apart. Fred F. Read this topic online here: http:

Ferg, why y'all usin' #22 wire in a vibrating environment? Without special care in terminating the wires, they can eventually fracture. I don't think I've seen a production A/C with #22. They use #20

One thing about "strength" verses mix accuracy is the current Europa design does not have us building many (or any?) strength-critical components. Fred F. Read this topic online here: http://forums.m
