MC-6 Main Canopy Diagram The MC-6 main canopy has a nominal diameter of 32 ft (9.8 m) at the skirt with a poly-conical shape and is constructed of low permeability nylon parachute cloth. There are 28 total gores, 24 standard gores made up of four sections each and four extended gores made up of nine (seven horizontal and two vertical) sections ...
Locomotive number 4043, the newest of the early class of MC-6 locomotives, was displayed at the Panama–Pacific International Exposition along with SP's first locomotive, C. P. Huntington. All but three of the locomotives in this class were rebuilt as the AC-3 class with "simpled" uniform cylinders of 22 in × 30 in (559 mm × 762 mm) by 1930.
The A-8/R2 replaced the outer wing 20 mm cannon with a 30 mm (1.2 in) MK 108 cannon. The A-8/R8 was similar, but fitted with heavy armour including 30 mm (1.2 in) canopy and windscreen armor and 5 mm (0.20 in) cockpit armor. The A-8 was the most numerous of the Fw 190 As, with over 6,655 A-8 airframes produced from March 1944 to May 1945.

Demonstration of the Hi Glide 6-to-1 standoff flight characteristics, ca. 2009. The RA-1 Military Free-Fall Advanced Ram-Air Parachute System (MFF ARAPS) provides a multi-mission, high-altitude parachute delivery system that allows personnel to exit at altitudes between 3,500 feet and 35,000 feet. The parachute, which replaces the current MC-4 ...
BuzzFeed collected McDonald's cups from different countries to see just how they compared -- and (un)surprisingly, cups in the USA were the biggest by far. In America, a small drink is 16 oz., a ...
In service, SP found that the locomotives were a little too slow for the traffic needs. By 1930, all of the MC-4 class had been "simpled" to use uniform size cylinders and feedwater heaters were installed to address the issue. They were then reclassified as AC-2 locomotives. As rebuilt, the locomotives continued in service through the end of ...
The main canopy is a modified version of a cross/cruciform platform. The canopy has an increased inflated diameter of 14 percent and a 28 percent increase in surface area, when compared with the T-10D assembly. The T-11 main canopy utilizes a unique deployment sequence to reduce the opening shock and canopy oscillation. The T-11 is designed to ...
