What was remarkable about World War 2?
(BY COMP_UTER15776)ooh. i like these. anyway, the second world war claimed 50 MILLION estimated lives. and, it saw a massive increase in new technology. planes and aerodynamics was a new thing in world war 1, but at the end of ww2 they knew loads, and the piston powered aircraft had had their day. the next item is PEARL HARBOUR. the Americans were not at war with the Japanese, and were attacked unprovoked. then D-Day, the most mommentous invasion ever, since William the conqueror. it had 5 landing beaches: gold, sword, juno,(british and Canadian and others) Omaha, Utah. (American) as well as airborne divisions and parachuters, gliders too. then lastly, the amount of media about WW2 is just uncomprehensible. theres is a LOT of stuff out there on all aspects of the war, and it's goods and bads. i could go on and on, but there are so many things about WW2 that were quite remarkable.(END OF TEXT (BY COMP_UTER15776)
Why did the American soldiers like the luger?
The German Luger piston is a nice pistol with a good feel that makes it easy to point and shoot. It was a well-known weapon and had been the side arm for the German army since 1917. The American soldier wanted a to get a Luger as a souvenir. He could not use it in combat. The Army frowned upon using enemy weapons. Also, they could not obtain ammunition for the gun.My Father brought back a captured German Luger and the smaller Walther PP, which was used by many military police and high-ranking officers. The German Helmet and the Luger pistol and maybe the Iron Cross medal were the most popular souvenir items that the American soldier sought after.
How does a World War 1 machine gun work?
Most WWI machine guns functioned exactly the same as today's automatic and semi-automatic weapons. There are two main types of machine guns - gas operated and recoil operated. Most modern and the most widely used WWI models (Vickers, or Maxim guns) were gas operated. A shell is fired, causing its propellant to explode and turn into rapidly expanding gas. This drives the bullet down the barrel. Very near the end of the barrel there is a little hole, called a gas port. After the bullet passes over this hole, but before the bullet exits the muzzle, the rapidly expanding gas rushes down this hole and back through a gas tube, where it also pushes a piston. This piston is connected to the action of the gun, and when the gas causes the piston to travel back it works the action of the gun, causing it to extract and eject the empty cartridge case. Then springs push the action forward again, picking up a new, loaded cartridge on the trip forward. The new cartridge is seated in the chamber and if the gunner still has the trigger depressed, the firing pin strikes the primer in the base of the cartridge causing this next shell to fire. This continues as long as the gunner has the trigger depressed, or until the gun runs out of ammunition. Then a new belt of ammunition must be inserted, and the charging handle of the gun pulled back by hand. This pulls the action of the gun back, then when the handle is released the springs push the action forward to pick up and seat the first cartridge of the new belt, and then the gun is ready to fire again. Because the rapid firing causes the barrel to get very hot, many WWI machine guns had a water cooling jacket built around the barrel. During heavy firing the water could be boiled away. Continued rapid firing without some cooling might warp the barrel, rendering the weapon unusable.
Which was the fastest piston engined aircraft of World War 2?
Sorry, but the P-51H was never operational in WWII. There were a LOT of fast aircraft in WWII, but most were not operational until AFTER the war. The fastest aircraft of the U.S. arsenal during the war was undoubtedly the Lockheed P-80, and even though it was never used in combat, they DID send a pair to Italy just before the end of the war. They were NOT in squadron service, however. So, that would make the fastest operational prop-driven aircraft the Repuiblic P-47M "Thunderbolt", which was used in combat by the 56th Fighter group to run after the German jets then coming into service. It was basically a P-47N fuselage with the big G.E. CH-5 turbocharger with the big R-2800C engine, but with the small wings of the "D" series. They only built about 150 of them. The "M" was easily capable of between 475-480mph. P-51H, Speed 487 MPH.
What is a helicopter powered by?
They are either powered by a turbine engine like a jet engine or a piston engine.
Where do jets land?
Jet-powered aircraft land on the same airports as piston-engine aircraft.
How many spark plugs are usually in a piston powered aircraft engine?
the world will never know
How many piston in dc3 engine?
Depending on which variant, either nine or 14.
How do airplanes propel themselves forward?
They either have a piston engine with a propeller or a jet that thrusts them forward.
How do you place a open piston on minecraft?
It has to be powered by a redstone signal ether next to or below the piston
What are bent engine pistons?
A bent engine piston is a reference to the piston rod. The piston cannot be bent, but the piston rod can be bent.
When fueling an aircraft powered by a piston engine it is acceptable to use a blend of 100LL and Jet A fuel.?
fueling an aircraft powered by a piston engine it is acceptable to use a blend of 100LL and Jet A fuel The Lean Mixture rating is 100 octane
Why does civic use so much oil?
Either it is leaking out of the engine, or the piston rings/ valve seals are shot and the engine is burning oil.
What would cause a dt466 engine to scald the same piston twice?
It is either a plugged piston cooler orifice (beware of fram oil filters in a diesel), or a injector that has either a bad pintle, or the pop pressure is incorrect.
What does Rx stand for in Mazda Rx?
The RX stands for Rotary eXperiment. As you may know, the Mazda RX series of vehicles are not powered by conventional piston engines like 99% of all other vehicles on the road. Instead, they are powered by a rotary engine, also known as a Wankel engine.
What motion does a piston have rotatory or oscillatory?
A piston typically has an oscillatory motion within a cylinder. It moves back and forth in a linear direction, driven by the combustion process in an engine.
