Well, honey, a Boeing 747 typically has four engines, each with a whopping horsepower of around 56,750. So, if you do the math, that's a whole lot of power propelling that big bird through the sky. Just imagine the size of the engine needed to generate that kind of oomph!

you dont, if you want to disconnect it then remove your front drive shaft.

It varies, depending on driving habits, conditions, maintenance, and how frequently the car is driven. You can drive one off the lot and if you drive it hard without breaking it in it won't last 10,000 miles. If the car is well maintained, driven easily, not modified, and not left to sit for long enough to dry out the seals, the engine may last as long as 200,000 miles.

A revolutionary technique that would enable a damaged aircraft to "repair itself," even during a flight, has been developed. This breakthrough mimics the healing processes found in nature, the website sciencedaily.com has reported.

Besides the principal advantage of safety, the "self-repairing" technology could lead to design of lighter aircraft in future. The novel design would mean saving on fuel, cutting of costs for airlines as well as for passengers and reduction in carbon emissions. This simple technique that can be used by the so called self-repairing aircraft is similar to the healing processes that take place after a person cuts himself, according to website.

The ingenious method of an aircraft repairing itself - developed by aerospace engineers at the University of Bristol, the United Kingdom, with funding from the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) - works like this: If a tiny hole/crack appears in the aircraft (for example, due to wear and tear, fatigue, or a stone striking the plane), epoxy resin would "bleed" from embedded vessels near the hole/crack and quickly seal it up, restoring structural integrity. By mixing dye into the resin, any "self-mends" could be made to show as coloured patches that could easily be pinpointed during subsequent inspections of the aircraft on the ground, and a full repair carried out if needed.

The ground-breaking technique where an aircraft can heal itself even while in flight can be effectively applied wherever fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites are used. (Fibre-reinforced polymer composites are lightweight, high-performance materials that are proving increasingly popular in the manufacture of aircraft, car, wind-turbine and even spacecraft).

In the novel technique, the hollow glass fibres contained in FRP composites are filled with resin and hardener. If the fibres break, the resin and hardener ooze out, which enables the composite to recover up to 80%-90% of its original strength. The result is that the aircraft can still function well at its normal operational load.

Dr Ian Bond, who led the project at the University of Bristol, was quoted by the website sciencedaily.com as explaining: "The new approach can deal with small-scale damage that is not obvious to the naked eye but which might lead to serious failures in structural integrity if it escapes attention. It is intended to complement rather than replace conventional inspection and maintenance routines, which can readily pick up larger-scale damage, caused by a bird strike, for example."

One offshoot of the "self-healing" technique for aircraft is that, that by improving the excellent safety properties of FRP composites further, the self-healing system could promote larger use of FRP composites in the field of aerospace. Aircraft that use more of FRP composites would be considerably lighter than aircraft designs that primarily rely on aluminum-based models.

The researchers at the University of Bristol are of the opinion that even a small reduction in weight would translate to substantial savings in fuel over an aircraft's lifetime.

"This project represents just the first step," Ian Bond elaborated. "We are also developing systems where the healing agent is not contained in individual glass fibres but actually moves around as part of a fully integrated vascular network, just like the circulatory systems found in animals and plants. Such a system could have its healing agent refilled or replaced and could repeatedly heal a structure throughout its lifetime. Furthermore, it offers potential for developing other biological-type functions in man-made structures, such as controlling temperature or distributing energy sources."

The researchers claim that the "self-repair" technique developed at the University of Bristol could be available for commercial use in about 4 years.

The research project, lasting 3 years and titled Bleeding Composites: Damage Detection and Repair Using a Biomimetic Approach, concluded by the end of April 2008.

The compression ratios of jet engines are too high to accomodate gasoline

- - - - -

Two reasons.

The most important is jet fuel is a light oil, which the manufacturers of fuel pumps are well aware of: the fuel pump on a jet engine is lubricated by this fuel. If you run gasoline through a jet engine you will destroy the fuel pump.

The other is gas burns hotter than jet fuel, and will damage the engine.

Having said that, jet engine owner's manuals allow you to burn gasoline for very short periods of emergency service...you're out of fuel, you're in the middle of the desert, bad people are on their way and the only fuel there is around you is gasoline. You can put some in, fly to where you need to go and drain the system immediately.

My answer is focusing on Cars Industry..

Suzuki is an example of Cost Leader because people donot buy their cars because they are luxurous or better in quality and service as compared to Honda and Toyota.. but because the offer their product on a low price so the advantages and services recieved from them also low.. and they must be cost efficient when they are offering cars on low price..

When making changes to the fuel system, a diagram can help guide in the repairs. A fuel system diagram for a 1993 Mercury Grand Marquis can be found in its maintenance manual.

All, if not all modern aircraft, have their APU located at the rear below the tail.

The only exception I know of is the A10 warthog which has the APU on the side to reduce heat detection.

Presumably your speaking about the 2 engine planes, not the ones with a (generally 3rd) rear engine on or near tail somewhere. The exhaust your speaking of is then also noticably smaller in size than those on the engines. It is an exhaust for the generators and supplemental powerclimate control, etc. for the plane. Not for the jet engines for power. Obviously very visible while it's on the ground, where many of these features are running and producing heat/waste gases.

I've been loooking for a fuel diagram for an 85 Stanza and I think I'm going to end up having to buy a chilton repair manual for this task. (Available at many auto repair stores {Shucks, Auto Zone, etc.} in about any town.)

An Airbus A380 cruises at 560mph and has a maximum speed of 634mph.

The $2.5m Ferrari FXX has a top speed of 217mph.

The SR-71's maximum crusing altitude was just shy of 100,000 feet, about 18.9 miles. It's maximum speed exceeded 3.3 times the speed of sound, around 2511 miles per hour. Both of these stats were incrediable for the time it was created.

No, A solenoid is basically a switch that uses a low voltage signal wire (5v) to make a higher voltage cable connection (12v) to operate an electric motor which uses magnets to transform electricity in to twisting force. IE turning the ignition key moves the ign. sw. sending a signal to the starter sol. that puts full power to the starter motor which engages the flywheel, rotating the engine to begin the running process.
