I'm not sure but this looks like small craft therefore probably throttle on left and stick in the center.

 

[Artlav]

Could they have set the trims to keep the stick pulled or something straightforward like that?

. . . or Sir Isaac H. Freakin' Newton.

A properly balanced plane shouldn't tend to rotate up at one G or thereabout, so some controls are being pulled.

What throttle?

Do you think/know it's a glider?

 

[MaverickSawyer]

Looking at the cockpit, the wings, and the tail, I can get enough details to tell that it's a medium-to-high performance sailplane.

Who is taking the picture?

 

[Artlav]

A camera.

Who is taking the picture?

Camera with a time delay. :lol: The one that they lost during Apollo 12

Thats odd. My flying instructor was getting me to fly only with my left hand last time, but I was on the left hand side of the cabin. Whats the convention when theres only one seat like above?

In tandem seating (PA-18 and gliders, example), right hand on stick.

Do you think/know it's a glider?

Yes, it is definitely a glider.

Looking at the cockpit, the wings, and the tail, I can get enough details to tell that it's a medium-to-high performance sailplane.

Probably an ASK 21 or Grob 103 (more likely the former), judging by the segmented canopy, making an assumption on the club level popularity of the types, and the fact that neither are restricted where performing loops are concerned.

Nice picture, good Bob Hoover stuff.

Sailplane,

Tight cockpit, wearing parachute, high T tail, High aspect ratio wing, telltale on the top of the canopy.

All I can think is what happens if all the water gets lose in that cockpit.

Alone "Überschallverbrennungsstaustrahltriebwerk(ÜSchaVerbrStStrTw)" would make a few people cry in pain. :lol:

Scramjet?

 

[MaverickSawyer]

Spotted by my little sister at the Reno Air Races on Saturday:

Yes, that is indeed R2-D2 in the back seat.

 

[Urwumpe]

Scramjet?

Exactly - "supersonic combustion ramjet".

 

[Athena]

Yes, that is indeed R2-D2 in the back seat.

Can it/he/she fly the plane?

 

[Izack]

Yes, that is indeed R2-D2 in the back seat.

Well, someone needs to lock down those stabilisers.

Who are you kidding? You can never balance a plane to the point where velocity has no effect on it.

Unless it was in vacoon :rofl:

I asked a friend who speaks German, and that's what he said:

That icon from WhatsApp.

Maybe someone needs to train his language habilities :lol:

1.- Somehow I forgot everything I studied about CATIA, so I need to do some tutorials before I do serious stuff for studies

2.- Right now I've noticed that the ISS next to the forum name above has only 3 pairs of the big solar pannels :lol:

3.- Forgot what I was going to say

4.- Will OF merge this post? Let's see. EDIT: yipe.

Question for our German Orbinauts

Does Bielefeld really exist?

Im waiting for the "Dantassi Lunar Station" one to come out :lol:

The Lunar Station has 12 of the Rectangular non-SSBB solar arrays on it as well as 2 of the BR200 radiators on board... and I think at last count it had 32 of the BM230 1Mw nuclear reactors on board for when it's in the moon's shadow.

I think those solar arrays make for the prettiest ships. Too bad I couldn't put any on the SSTV. But since it's designed to go out to Pluto and back, they would just be extra weight.
