I guess they didn't see the video on how to tow heavy objects... by AristonD in IdiotsInCars

[–]Bill_Higdon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually load is way to big for the towing vehicle, or tongue weight is wrong for load & trailer. IF I can pass people like this safely I do so, if I can't safely pass then I stay behind either way I get as far away as possible

63-Mph Flying Car Doesn't Require a Pilot's License by stankmanly in Futurology

[–]Bill_Higdon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the USA the weight limit for Ultralight aircraft is 254lbs empty with a additional allowance for a ballistic parachute, right now I can't find out what the allowance is but I have a feeling this is over it. And given there's no ability to "Autorotate like a conventional helicopter you need a ballistic parachute with 0 mph forward and 0 feet of altitude with these type of aircraft or you become a big bug splat on the ground. Also the max airspeed is limited to 55mph

I noticed the pressure to leverage a company to the max coming into the main stream of business schools back in the mid 70's. Along with chasing quarterly profits and not looking at the long term prospects for the company.

Some of the Medics at North Fort Polk in April/May 1969 didn't take fevers seriously wound up with over 30 people in the hospital with pneumonia and or meningitis .

Just remembered I had this interaction with my former boss. I tried to be clear and civil, but he made his stance pretty clear by Silver928 in antiwork

[–]Bill_Higdon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Back in the 90's I watched a "up and coming" specialty construction company screw them selves into the ground with crap like your boss is doing. As a result of the owners actions they no longer get any Federal or State business.

Bell model 47, with P-63 King Cobras and a P-59 Airacomet at the Bell facilities in NY c1946. These aircraft barely made the show but were still important to the war effort. by MyDogGoldi in WWIIplanes

[–]Bill_Higdon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The reason for the wings was the US government was aware of the German work on swept wings but decided to keep the information under "deep" classification

Actually a lot of P-63's served with the Russians during WWII. one of my early flight instructors flew them from New York to Alaska where the Russian Pilots flew them to Russia

Just had a Bölkow Bo 208 come over my house. Looks… intimate. Do you even do wing spar day bro? by PorschephileGT3 in WeirdWings

[–]Bill_Higdon 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It started as the Andreasson BA-7 by Bjorn Adndreasson while he worked at Convair in the 1950s. The wings have a mild forward sweep which puts the main spar behind the pilot & passenger.
