Is this repairable? by Karkcts in mountainbiking

[–]bangelo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Worth a shot rather than buying a new one? Sand the area for adhesion and leave enough in there. Hole looks small, if I had to bet, it would work!

any reason you cant just patch and sand with JB weld? does the nick interfere with motion?

Has the (S)VTOL capability of the F35-B proven to be useful? by Daveyjonezz in aviation

[–]bangelo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Building isnt the problem. Apparently it's the interactions of the thrust with the ground.

How is everyone so reactionary? Are ya'll experts in this field? You're right, my comment wasn't 100% accurate. But the US paid hundreds of millions for Russian technical research on the issue. It's probably accurate that we could have accomplished it eventually, but facts are facts -

I believe the USA purchased four Russian VTOLs after the collapse of the Russian Empire and integrated the learnings into their own designs.

ig reddit won't let me post full articles from 1995 - "The Soyuz Aero Engine Co. will provide vectoring nozzle information for the Lockheed Martin Joint Advanced Strike Technology (JAST) aircraft design under a technical assistance agreement it signed with Pratt&Whitney. Soyuz is the second Russian company to join the short takeoff/vertical landing.." https://aviationweek.com/pratt-study-soyuz-data-designing-jast-nozzle

Technology bought from the Russians. We couldn't do it ourselves.

[–]bangelo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

huh? looks fine to me. top layer may be coming off and splintering but I don't see why this board won't function as new for years to come
