Flores (October 24, 1921 – September 20, 1997) was a Mexican-born pilot from California who crashed his private plane in the wilds of Canada's Yukon Territory in February 1963 while on a trip from Fairbanks, Alaska to California. He survived, along with his passenger Helen Klaben, for 49 days, subsisting mostly on melted snow. Flores, a new convert to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, told the Jewish Klaben that they would be rescued if she would read the New Testament. Soon after Klaben had supposedly finished the last page of the Book of Revelation, a passing pilot, a Mr. Hamilton,...

He started as a vaudeville trick bicycle rider. He became a Wright exhibition team pilot. He and Archibald Hoxsey were known as the "heavenly twins" for their attempts to break altitude records. On October 27, 1910, the International Aviation Tournament was at the Belmont Park race track in Elmont, New York. The meet offered $3,750 for the highest altitude, another $1,000 for a world record and a $5,000 bonus for exceeding 10,000 feet. Johnstone set a new American flight altitude record of 8,471.

The first model was an odd two-stroke car powered by paraffin; it had a piston and a crankshaft at either end of its one cylinder. A button in the steering wheel controlled the speed of the engine. The coachwork was of pressed steel. The two-stroke design introduced in 1908 was the origin of the Valveless. An automobile, motor car or car is a wheeled motor vehicle used for transporting passengers, which also carries its own engine or motor. Most definitions of the term specify that automobiles are designed to run primarily on roads, to have seating for one to eight people, to typically have four...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! A ram accelerator has the same function as a gun; i.e., it is a device for accelerating projectiles; however, it is entirely different in that jet-engine-like propulsion cycles utilizing ramjet and/or scramjet combustion processes are used to accelerate a projectile to extremely high speeds. It is thought to be possible to achieve non-rocket spacelaunch with this technology. It is a long tube (barrel) filled with a mixture of combustible gasses with a frangible diaphragm at either end to contain the gases. The projectile, which is shaped like a ram jet core, is fired by another means (e.g., a light gas gun) supersonically through the first diaphragm into the end of the tube. It then burns the...

RAPS or Ram Air Progression System is a parachuting training system designed to take a student from beginner to the FAI A License (or Category 8) using square ram air canopies. The RAPS system was developed from the Static Line Rounds system. It enables a student to make their first jump on a square canopy which offers softer landings and is easier to control. In the early jumps the parachute is deployed automatically using a static line, after proving basic proficiency the student can progress onto opening their own parachute and therefore experiencing freefall. The actual system varies from country to country but is in general based upon the following structure. Данное издание...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! A ram air turbine (RAT) is a small turbine that is connected to a hydraulic pump, or electrical generator, installed in an aircraft and used as a power source. The RAT generates power from the airstream due to the speed of the aircraft. With the exception of crop dusters (see below), modern aircraft only use RATs in emergency - in case of the loss of both primary and auxiliary power sources the RAT will power vital systems (flight controls, linked hydraulics and also flight-critical instrumentation). Some RATs produce only hydraulic power, which is in turn used to power electrical generators. In some early aircraft (including airships), small RATs were permanently mounted and operated a small...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! A ram bow or rostrum (Latin for 'beak' or 'prow') is form of bow on naval ships which allows one ship to attack another by crashing into it at high speed. The use of ram bows dates back to at least the seventh century BC, according to inscriptions found on the tomb of Phoenician King Sargon II and ramming was the dominant form of naval combat until at least the third century BC, by which time the increased size, bulk and crew complement of naval vessels made boarding operations via gangplank more practical. Nonetheless, ramming long remained an important tactic; even if the opposing vessel was not pierced or sunk, its oars and oarsmen were often sheared off, eliminating its mobility and leaving...

Ram Guards are ideally used for machines used for demolition and civil engineering purposes and can be fitted to most excavators. They prevent the ram from over-extending and provides an additional safeguard when the excavator is in use. Excavators are heavy construction equipment consisting of a boom, bucket and cab on a rotating platform (known as the "house"). The house sits atop an undercarriage with tracks or wheels. All movement and functions of the excavator are accomplished through the use of hydraulic fluid, be it with rams or motors. Their...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! In physics, ram pressure is a pressure exerted on a body which is moving through a fluid medium. It causes a strong drag force to be exerted on the body. For example, a meteor traveling through the Earth's atmosphere produces a shock wave generated by the extremely rapid compression of air in front of the meteoroid. It is primarily this ram pressure (rather than friction) which heats the air which in turn heats the meteoroid as it flows around it. In the case of a galaxy moving through the intergalactic gas, the ram pressure is capable of stripping the galaxy of much of its interstellar gas. Данное издание не является оригинальным. Книга...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! A ram-air intake is any intake design which uses the dynamic air pressure created by vehicle motion to increase the static air pressure inside of the intake manifold on an engine, thus allowing a greater massflow through the engine and hence increasing engine power. The ram air intake works by reducing the intake air velocity by increasing the cross sectional area of the intake ducting. When gas velocity goes down the dynamic pressure is reduced while the static pressure is increased. The increased static pressure in the plenum chamber has a positive effect on engine power, both because of the pressure itself and the increased air density this higher pressure gives.
