The Royal Aircraft Factory R.E.5 was a British two-seat reconnaissance and artillery observation biplane designed and built by the Royal Aircraft Factory for the Royal Flying Corps. The R.E.5 was designed as a reconnaissance biplane using the experience of earlier R.E. series aircraft. It was a two-bay equal-span biplane with a fixed tailskid landing gear, with the wheels supported on skids and powered by a nose-mounted 120 hp (89 kW) Austro-Daimler engine driving a four-bladed propeller.

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Royal Aircraft Factory BE.8 was a British two-seat scout biplane designed by the Royal Aircraft Factory. The BE.8 was the last of the Bleriot Experimental types to be designed with a rotary engine. A conventional 1910s biplane with a fixed tailskid landing gear. It also had a pair of skids mounted forward to prevent the aircraft nosing over on rough ground. Three prototypes were built at Farnborough with a single long cockpit for both crew members. The production aircraft had two separate cockpits and where built by sub-contractors. An improved BE.8a in 1915 had new wings the wing warping replaced by ailerons and a revised tail unit.

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! A Royal Train is a set of carriages dedicated for the use of the monarch or other members of that particular royal family. Most monarchies with a railway system employ a set of royal carriages. The various government railway operators of Australia have operated a number of royal trains for members of the Monarchy of Australia on their Royal visits to Australia. Royal trains have been employed to transport members of the country's royal family on numerous tours prior to the 1960s, after which the Canadian Royal Flight was predominantly used. In the modern period, imperial trains are used less and less, as the current Emperor Akihito generally travels by air, or regular scheduled trains with a...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! A Royal Air Force station is a permanent Royal Air Force operations location. Many RAF stations are aerodromes, or airbases, being the home to one or more flying squadrons. Other RAF stations are training units, administrative units, headquarters (HQ), or carry out ground-based operational tasks. Although many RAF units are often called stations, they can only be properly classified as an RAF station if they are self-accounting with their own station commander and headquarters. Units without a station commander or headquarters staff will ordinarily be a satellite of an RAF station proper. Данное издание не является оригинальным. Книга...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The F.E.1 (Farman Experimental) was the second aircraft built by the pioneer designer Geoffrey de Havilland - he designed and built it in 1910. He used it to teach himself to fly during late 1910. Although it was not built at the Royal Aircraft Factory it became the first aircraft to bear an official Factory designation. Like the Bristol Boxkite and several other contemporary designs, the F.E.1 closely followed the general lines of early Farman aircraft (in turn based on the early Wright machines), with the pilot seated on the lower wing directly in front of the engine, behind a fore-elevator. It was a pusher aircraft, powered by a 45 hp (34 kW) engine built for de Havilland by the Iris Motor...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Royal Aircraft Factory B.E.2 (Bleriot Experimental) was a British single-engine two-seat biplane in service with the Royal Flying Corps (RFC) during World War I. About 3,500 were built, used as fighters, interceptors, light bombers, trainers and reconnaissance aircraft. A B.E.2a of No.2 Squadron RFC was the first aircraft of the Royal Flying Corps to arrive in France after the start of the First World War, on 26 August 1914. The B.E.2 was designed by Geoffrey de Havilland as a development of the B.E.1, and first flew in February 1912 with de Havilland as the test pilot. On 12 August 1912 it set a British altitude record of 10,560 ft (3,219 m). It started production as a reconnaissance...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Royal Aircraft Factory R.E.8 was a British two-seat biplane reconnaissance and bomber aircraft of the First World War. Intended as a replacement for the vulnerable B.E.2, the R.E.8 was much more difficult to fly, and was regarded with great suspicion at first in the Royal Flying Corps. Although eventually it gave reasonably satisfactory service, it was never an outstanding combat aircraft. In spite of this, the R.E.8 served as the standard British reconnaissance and artillery spotting aircraft from mid-1917 to the end of the war, serving alongside the rather more popular Armstrong Whitworth F.K.8. Over 4,000 R.E.8s were eventually produced and they served in most theatres including Italy,...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The RP-3 was a British rocket used in the Second World War. Though primarily an air-to-ground weapon, it saw limited use in other roles. Its 60 lb warhead gave rise to the alternative name of the "60 lb rocket"; the 25 lb solid-shot armour piercing variant was referred to as the "25 lb rocket". They were generally used by British fighter-bomber aircraft against targets such as tanks, trains, motor transport and buildings, and by Coastal Command and Royal Navy aircraft against U-Boats and shipping. The first use of rockets fired from aircraft was during World War I. The "Unrotated Projectiles" were Le Prieur rockets which were mounted on the interplane struts of Nieuport fighters. These were...

The RSA Factoring Challenge was a challenge put forward by RSA Laboratories on March 18, 1991 to encourage research into computational number theory and the practical difficulty of factoring large integers and cracking RSA keys used in cryptography. They published a list of semiprimes (numbers with exactly two prime factors) known as the RSA numbers, with a cash prize for the successful factorization of some of them. The smallest of them, a 100 decimal digit number called RSA-100 was factored by April 1, 1991, but many of the bigger numbers have still not been factored and are expected to remain so for quite some time.

Grinding processes are widespread in the manufacturing landscape and provide a unique method of shaping high-strength metals. As an important industrial operation grinding practitioners and researchers alike are driven to continually optimize the process' efficiency. As a result, this work investigates the fundamental aspects of how metal is removed during the grinding process. More specifically it delves into the micromechanics of how individual grits interact with the machined metal. Through various phases, each grit rubs along the surface, plows material, and finally removes the metal. Experimental, analytical, and finite element investigations were used to explore the micro-mechanics of the rubbing and plowing phases. As a...

Rubblization is a construction and engineering technique that involves saving time and transportation costs by reducing existing concrete into rubble at its current location rather than hauling it to another location. Rubblization has two different applications. In road construction, specialized equipment is used to repave highways. The equipment drives along a lane of a highway and reduces the existing pavement into smaller pieces to create a crushed, high-quality aggregate base for the new pavement. This saves the expense of transporting the old payment to a disposal site and purchasing and transporting new base materials for the replacement paving....
