Ctrl-J

When the ground graphics are created for FSX there are "triggers" placed in the scenery so that when aircraft of a specific type pass on to these they will allow the Ctrl-J Jetway call to function. Unfortunately not all graphics support anything other than the default aircraft, these are the ones that are liners and are in the FSX Aeroplane file. This will make sure that when someone parks a piper on a large gate the Jetway will not respond. There are ways through the FSX config file to trap the newer planes but I cannot print it here due to its sheer size. It can be googled if you require it but TAKE CARE changes in some of the files can have some strange effect's later

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.

Fuel Consumption is dependent on many factors. Jets have electronic fuel computers/calculators that compute fuel used, distance, navigation and fuel left, like some cars. If the computer doesn't work then the pilot (or co-pilot, every passenger jet must have a co-pilot, per FAA) can estimate fuel left. For the most part aviation gas gauges are not to be relied upon for fuel estimations.

Climb - 2950lbs / 15mins

Cruise - 5500lbs/hr

Descent - 600lbs / 20mins

Hold - 2650 / 30mins

Alternate - 1950 / 20mins

Min arrival fuel - 6300lbs

*Recommended arrival fuel - 8,300lbs (A plane must have 30 minutes of fuel during the day and 45 minutes at night, minimum, prior to arrival at airport destination per FAA regs.)

These numbers were based on a 27,000 lbs payload (approx 130pax plus bags)

Wing and fuselage center section tanks house 5,311 US gallons of fuel.

The basic gross weight 737-300, at a 124,500-pound take off weight, features a 1,625-mile range, while the high gross weight option, at 138,500 pounds, has a 2,260-mile range.

One (1) gallon of Jet Fuel A weights ~6.84 pounds per gallon at STP (Standard Temperature and Pressure = air at 60 oF at sea level).

an hour and a half

With my 1980 g230 I get less than 10 miles to the gallon. This is an approximation but I believe that I get about 8 miles to the gallon in the city. It's very poor but still fun to drive.

Av gas (100 LL) weighs the same as automotive fuel....6 lbs/gal.

Acceleration of a Chinook is relatively slow. Load carrying, not speed, is it's forte.

On average it was $.20 a gallon

You probably have a coolant leak. http://www.autozone.com/servlet/UiBroker?UseCase=S001&UserAction=viewSimpleDiagInfo&Parameters=info answer The coolant is most likely leaking onto the engine of your car, causing the white smoke.

hi this is Steve fom bellwood, Illinois

i recently read that that the average Miles Per Gallon was approximately 15 for the city and 20 highway.

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.

Aviation fuel is a specialised type of petroleum based fuels used to power aircrafy. It is of a higher quality than fuels used in less critical roles such as powering cars or heating. Because of the conditions under which aircraft have to fly it often contains things to reduce the risk of icing or explosion due to high or low temperatures, amongst other things.

Approximately 10L per 100klms depending on how you drive it.

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..

I was wondering the same thing after listening to a CBC program about clotheslines.

After moving to a farm where we depended on a well for our water, we purchased a sudsaver washing machine, I believe it was a Maytag. I loved it! That was in the 1970s.

Today I live in town, and pay ever increasing water charges.

I have heard via the grapevine that Maytag is the only company that still produces a sudsaver model. However, I haven't had time to research this.

Perhaps someone else can look this up and let us know via this space.

with 55 percent of open road driving, 40 percent city driving, and 5 percent stop start. I have been able to regularly achieve 8.8 ltr to the 100 km. On long trips of 500 km or more I have had it running at 7.8 ltr to the 100 km at 100 km per hour on cruise control.

locate timing chain guides.

I gets about .2 MPG. It's not a lot. For specs: It burns 5 gallons per mile.

liedetector2000:

The SR-71 Blackbird was the USED TO BE fastest jet in the world but now here is the LATEST and THE WORLD's FASTEST jet in the world.

Now the fastest jet is owned my NASA and is called X-43A.

it can reach the TEN TIMES THE SPEED OF SOUND. souring at above 33,223metres above earth. apparently, since it reaches 10 times the speed of sound, it's wings are tiny. it's nickname is the hyperjet. it's the next step to being opperated fastest in space.

At the heart of the X-43 is the scramjet or Supersonic Combustion Ramjet. You can think of it as an upgraded version of the ramjet - the kind of engine used by the SR-71. The Supersonic Combustion Ramjet basically takes in oxygen, which is needed for combustion, directly from the atmosphere. In order to create thrust, rockets mix liquid oxygen with liquid fuel. this makes this jet soo fuel efficient compared to others.

To give you an idea how fast the fastest jet in the world is, compared to others, imagine this: there are more than 30 jets that are faster than the speed of sound and yet almost all of them have top speeds either way below or only near Mach 3. Mach 9.6 is definitely way way faster than that.

Your vehicle will consume about 32.5 gallons of fuel, and in the US, you should budget no less then four dollars per gallon depending on the state. Different countries, different prices.
