How do you cut diamond plate?

well first of all diamond can't be made into a plate because of a diamond is on a scale of 10 on the mohs hardness scale. Plus we dont have the weight or heat to cut a diamond UNLESS the machine is diamond tipped. You know the steel they make fire engine bumpers out of? That's diamond plate. To make a long story very short, how you cut diamond plate depends on what it's made from, but it cuts like flat plate does.

How do you calculate cost index?

Cost Index = Cost of Time / Cost of Fuel

Cost of Time or C(t) is the complete cost to operate in one hour: Flight Crew Wages, Maintenance, Leases, etc

Cost of Fuel or C(f) is the cost of fuel per gallon converted to cents; so, times 100.

Example:

>Capt is paid 70/hr, FO is paid 40/hr and FA is paid 25 and then the extras = $150/hr operating cost

>fuel is purchased at 3.50/gal

CI = C(t) / C(f)

= 150 / 350

= .42

what does that mean? As CI approaches 0 the airplane should be flown closer to MRC (Max Range Cruise Speed, a slower speed that enables time aloft) while the closer the value to 1 a faster speed should be flown to obtain LRC (Long-Range Cruise, a speed that is "conducted at the flight condition which provides 99 percent of the absolute maximum specific range. the advantage is that 1 percent of range is traded for 3 to 5 percent higher cruise velocity. Since higher cruise speed has a great number of advantages, the small sacrifice of range is a fair bargain.

Basically CIs are a way to penny pinch on each flight. If a plane can save as little as 200lbs of fuel on one flight, factor that value against the near 1500 daily departures of a large airline and you are saving yourself some serious change

1500 flights x 200lbs of fuel saved x $3.50 per gallon = $1.05M/day in fuel savings!

Why is Microsoft a global leader in the software industry?

Well, that is tricky to answer.

MS managed to get its operation system (OS) Windows on majority of computers. MS developed a new concept of SW sales. To IBM did not sell his OS, he leased it instead. That was in times, when people thought money were in hardware, rather then in software.

Moreover, despite not first, MS managed to develop and more importantly sell mouse style control of the computer, as well as windows drag and drop philosophy of working with SW. In some extend we can say that at its time MS was an Apple of that age. He spotted a niche market and developed a new concept of usability that people liked.

And then, it was just a snowball efect. :-)

The list is long you will need to dig up more info from these expressed bases above.

Is su30 is better than f 22 and f 35?

The Su-30, F-22, and F-35 are designed for different roles and missions, making direct comparisons challenging. The F-22 excels in air superiority with advanced stealth and supercruise capabilities, while the F-35 focuses on multi-role versatility and advanced sensor fusion. The Su-30, known for its agility and combat capabilities, is optimized for air-to-air and air-to-ground missions. Ultimately, their effectiveness depends on the specific operational context and requirements.

What is a joint operations system?

What is the national defense argument for tariffs on steel?

The national defense argument for tariffs on steel is based on the prospect of war or the need to prepare for one. Without tariffs on steel, such as the one imposed during the George W. Bush administration, steel would be easily imported and the nation would become dependent on these imports. By imposing a tariff, defense contractors as example, would already have established steel contracts from domestic producers. Hence, no problems regarding having enough steel.

What is the National Defense Highway System usually called?
