Far Since the Wright Brothers -- NOT-- PART TWO

All of a sudden the first of this we've-come-far page is being re-visited on a regular basis. What's the matter, too smart to come in through the front door? The front door is http://www.paulhallart.com -- but you're probably not dwelling on formalities, or else you'd live in a housing developement. So since I assume you all can read, it must be that you're looking for something else after reading the first article. Your pride has been hurt. You want to know more. Your curiosity has been whetted. You've hacked the site and put a hidden link on the page. Whatever. I'll assume you want to know more

Ok, what have they been doing for a hundred years? ...aircraft are still taking off and landing on runways and even worse, still using landing gear at all, and at that, landing gear with of all things, heavy rubber tires. And, get this! The space shuttle has them, too. What next, stone spears for the infantry?

The aerodynamics of the propeller and the internal fans of the jet are all wrong. I mean they work all right and they do the job of getting your 70's style jumbo jets aloft, but imagine what you could have done with even a propeller that went a few steps beyond the forced-air concept. Even Da Vinci came up with a better propeller design in it's own primitive way. You can't get anything more out of a modern helicopter without breaking the sound barrier with the rotor blade tips! If any of these developing nations ever realize they too can think, they'll defeat you -- without WDM.

The use of atmospherics is still only air moving over the lifting surface of a wing. I mean there's got to be something else kept secret somewhere. There's got to be someone who got to the point where they figured out how to repel escape velocity enough to get something five feet off the ground. Use of wings in forward velocity of an aircraft to produce a lifting vacuum is really nothing more than a primitive way of proving that winged aircraft actually float in the atmosphere. Big deal, fellas. Why don't you look among the homeless for someone capable of abstract thinking?

The fuel is atrocious. Still using flammable liquids! I mean, these things have no mass. How are you going to get suitable inertia? I'm beginning to wonder if the only guys to get beyond the propeller were the Nazis. But they stopped with the fuels. No more work on fuel. In your search for the better jet engine, you forgot to research jet fuels. Better fuels may not even burn at all. Matter coefficients, reagents, mass-to-energy ratios, shape-altering controlled separations, controlled deceleration of spent fuel. Sub levels understanding of behavior of all matter in the listing of the periodic table of the elements. Some types of fuel not only don't burn, but also they never leave the vehicle.

When you consider the private aircraft aloft today, most of them look like something just one step past what Langley could have thought up. If you want anything more progressive, you have to make your own. If people were really operating up to specs in normal human capability, aircraft readily available to the flying public would be improving annually. A pilot could be flying a world class private aircraft for two grand, new.

You know what happened at the Write Brothers centennial at no-longer Kityhawk (now Kill Devil Hills, which really means "drunk on rum"), don't you? They made an exact replica that proved that the Wright Brothers didn't do anything more than fly a heavy glider on that original day. They did the real flying much later. They must have been buying time or something. They were concerned with the platform. They needed a platform that could take the weight of the engines. I mean you guys will believe anything. Without the wind, the thing couldn't fly. And how long did they sit on the patent for an airplane?

Now it's one hundred years later and you're still clueless about the real functions of an atmosphere. If you knew anything decent, befitting creatures of your type who are capable of reason, you could have still had that spacecraft you popped into Jupiter's atmosphere. It could have been kept aloft on the vectors of it's atmospheric turbulence. But what did you come up with? A parachute! Buddy, give someone else the money next time.

Now I'm not going to give away my secrets. But I will tell you the reason why you have NOT come a long way since the brothers, and that's because you have not mastered the mysteries concerning nasty little nit-picking sucking-up worm-their-way-to-the-top, lying, plotting, even in some case murderous personnel and management in aerospace industry and research. The most technologically advanced thing you can do is to learn how to do the r and d in the flight and aircraft industries in spite of every brown-nosed moron that tries to stand in your way.

You should have orbital commercial jumbo aircraft that can take off and land in place without such dangerous things as runways by now. That's the simple part. The more difficult thing is re-adapting passengers, who have lost their skeletal systems, to a new gravitational environment before interplanetary landings. The trouble is you've got people in aerospace that want to just fly things at the wave of a magic wand. They need to go hide in their fantasy libraries and leave the flying to the scientists.

It's absolutely disgusting and embarrassing. Go ahead and sit on your money bags and dream on. It's like trying to fly a starship Enterprise without a seat belt. Stop pretending. Put up or shut up. Before you become known in history as the country that stood in the way of manned flight.
