Since its introduction in 2004, it has been the most-used driver on the PGA Tour and the best-selling driver in the amateur market. [ 1 ] The R7 Quad was one of the first drivers to feature Movable Weight Technology , which enabled the golfer to rearrange four differently weighted screws in the driver's head in order to alter the flight of the ...
An unusual addition to the R-25 was an emergency mode thrust boost which increased the compressor speed to 106% and also increased the afterburner fuel flow with the addition of a second afterburner fuel pump. Thrust was increased to 96.5 kilonewtons (21,700 lb f) below an altitude of 2,000 metres (6,600 ft). The time limit for its use was 1 ...
A jet engine afterburner is an extended exhaust section containing extra fuel injectors. Since the jet engine upstream (i.e., before the turbine) will use little of the oxygen it ingests, additional fuel can be burned after the gas flow has left the turbines. When the afterburner is turned on, fuel is injected and igniters are fired.
The maximum thrust was 7,500 kilograms force (73.5 kN, 16,500 lbf) dry and 11,200 kilograms force (110 kN, 24,700 lbf) with afterburner.This thrust enabled the Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-25, with two engines, to reach Mach 3.2, although the engines had to be scrapped after a flight to Mach 3.2.
[4] In 2012, Adams Golf was acquired by TaylorMade Golf (which was owned by Adidas by then) for USD 10.80 per share in cash (roughly 70 million). As a result, Adams was added to the corporation set of golf brands, such as Adidas Golf and TaylorMade–adidas Golf. TaylorMade assured that Adams' headquarters in Plano, Texas, would remain. [2]
To keep the F414 in the same envelope, or space occupied in the airframe, as the F404, the afterburner section was shortened by 4 in (10 cm) and the combustor shortened by 1 in (2.5 cm). Also changed from the F404 is the construction of the first three stages of the high-pressure compressor which are blisks rather than separate discs and ...
Time Magazine called the Navy's grounding of all Westinghouse-powered F3H-1 Demons a "fiasco", with 21 unflyable planes, that could be used only for Navy ground training at a loss of $200 million. [4] One high point of the J40 was the 1955 setting of an unofficial time-to-climb record, in a Demon, of 10,000 feet (3,000 m) in 71 seconds. [3]
After leaving college, he started working as a golf salesman. He observed new golf balls worked well with irons, but not wood clubs, so he started tinkering to create a metal driver. [2] In 1979, Gary Adams borrowed $24,000 on his house and leased a 6,000 square foot building in McHenry, Illinois to found TaylorMade Golf. He originally had ...
