Sonic Generations First Person Mod is a mod of Sonic Generations created by Twitter user Skyth that puts people in the POV of Sonic with no camera stabilization. The mod was released in a tweet, saying "POV: you're sonic", and "warning: this video is going to badly hurt your eyes", and to also play at the user's own risk, due to the mod majorly ...
This mod was featured by the PC Gamer magazine on its demo CD in 2001. Wanted! – A Wild West-style mod which follows a town Sheriff and his hunt for a bandit. Enemies include rattlesnakes, Native Americans and other outlaws. It contains original voice acting and era-specific weapons, and was created by Maverick Developments and released as a ...
The high-bypass turbofan engines used on many modern airliners is an example of a very successful and popular use of ducted fan design. The duct increases thrust efficiency by up to 90% in most cases [citation needed], in comparison to a similar-sized propeller in free air. Ducted fans are quieter, and offer good opportunities for thrust vectoring.
ThrustSSC, Thrust SSC or Thrust SuperSonic Car is a British jet car developed by Richard Noble, Glynne Bowsher, Ron Ayers, and Jeremy Bliss. [1] Thrust SSC holds the world land speed record , set on 15 October 1997, and driven by Andy Green , when it achieved a speed of 1,228 km/h (763 mph) and it became the first and only land vehicle to ...
A plasma propulsion engine is a type of electric propulsion that generates thrust from a quasi-neutral plasma. This is in contrast with ion thruster engines, which generate thrust through extracting an ion current from the plasma source, which is then accelerated to high velocities using grids/ anodes .
Rolls-Royce Tay on a Fokker 100, with thrust reverser engaged. Originally designated 610-8, all but one training engine have now been converted to 611-8 standard. The newest variant is the 611-8C, which has cast HP1 turbine blades, larger fan from the 650-15, structural by-pass duct and FADEC .
A proposed 9,000 lbf (40 kN; 4,100 kgf) thrust version with a new high-pressure turbine ceramic-matrix composite tailcone [15] GMA 3010 / AE 3010 A 10,000 lbf (44.5 kN; 4,540 kgf) thrust variant, which was to power the Yakovlev Yak-77 twin-engine business jet [16] as a derated variant of the GMA 3012 with a 44 in diameter (112 cm) fan [17]
One concept which looked promising was the BE52, which initially used the Orpheus 3 as the engine core and, on a separate coaxial shaft, the first two stages of an Olympus 21 LP compressor, which acted as a fan, delivering compressed air to two thrust vectoring nozzles at the front of engine. At this point in the design exercise, the exhaust ...
