in 14.5 years I could be burnt at the stake as a heretic ........... but I think any person that thinks a future society will have flying cars must have a deluded psyhcosis that stems from the Jetsons - probably a parental / paternalistic feeling of nurture & comfort as George ? Jetson blits off to work. Tommorrow I am prepared to wager $ 10,000 that a flying car spciety will never exist

Its great you can live in a country (Oz) - own a 12 cylinder car and get a pensioners rebate on the E-type jag (if that is true) - means you can still throw the lawnmower in the back and go out and earn some pocket money

Ultralight crash north of Grafton 12/12/23
johnm replied to Cosmick's topic in Aircraft Incidents and Accidents
if low flying is legally taught - it is in a defined area / zone where there are no dangerous low obstacles .............. such as wires there is certainly a curiosity about flying low when you are a low hour pilot (generally speaking) a low flying area helps pilots to start to contemplate, consider and comprehend the dangers -

Did somebody just mutter, “correlation does not imply causation”? ............................ if you dropped a rock on your foot - the above statement holds logic

A thought about WWII turbo chargers longevity
johnm replied to danny_galaga's topic in Aircraft General Discussion
thanks for all that peoples - I'll add I think for the turbo - the intercooler needs to be in there as well cooling down of intake gas and fuel ? before it goes in the engine I'm going back to that book where I mislead it or I misunderstood it (I still think ? the Luftwaffe climbed to have the height advantage for speed / gravity - to get some performance) -
A thought about WWII turbo chargers longevity
johnm replied to danny_galaga's topic in Aircraft General Discussion
so Loonybob / and others - are the facts about Luftwaffe and say USA aircraft performance correct ? - via my crude technical ability Did Luftwaffe craft perform not as well at the higher altitude and if that is correct what was the thing that determined that ? ta -
A thought about WWII turbo chargers longevity
johnm replied to danny_galaga's topic in Aircraft General Discussion
On the subject of P47’s and WW2 Reading my last book ……… the Luftwaffe did not have much access to metals such as nickel so their max boost (super or turbo ?) for the ME 109 and FW 190 was say 18000 ft where as the P47 & P51 was something like + 24000 ft The height at which the B17 flying fortress flew at - + 24000 ft A distinct advantage to the allies and their bombing campaign in Europe. A distinct disadvantage to Luftwaffe pilots who had to get up to the B17 height Not something well considered by many ? – these crude technical comments are made for discussion ! -

There seem to be 2 groups of people in this landscape: Group 1 - these people - their pulses race with words like AGM's, boards elections, board member, associations, incorporated associations, diplomatic, elections, constitution, nominees ......... etc Group 2 - this group just are not interested Group 3 - and other groups, in case this is to much of a generalisation Group 1 - love throwing rocks and will keep throwing rocks at group 2. Group 1 thinks Group 2 is at fault for not participating. Rock throwing is obviously contradictory to diplomacy. Rock throwing is the same fault that Group 1 thinks .............. Group 2 has Group 2 - usually never react - because probably there was no reaction in the first place. Rock throwing is not a provocation to Group 2. Group 2 does not think Group 1 has a fault - generally Group 2 never even considered any one had a fault at all
