Glider with reinforced wing. Tips for a modeler

Modeling

The wings of schematic models of gliders usually do not have a large margin of safety, and when tightened on the rail by an inexperienced athlete, they fall into a flutter or fold from overloads!

Especially often such a picture can be observed in strong winds. The model, designed in our circle, has a reinforced wing and "forgives" rough tightening.

Rigidity is achieved by installing two additional rails, which serve simultaneously as braces and a center section.

The wing is assembled, as usual, V-shaped, but without central ribs. Then these two slats of the center section and ribs are glued.

Although these rails increase the weight by 3-5 g, the rigidity and survivability of the wing increase significantly. The following materials were used to build the model. Wing rail - pine 4x4 mm.

Ribs and ends - bamboo, plywood 1 mm thick or aluminum wire.

Fuselage - pine rail 8X6 mm.

Boar made of 8 mm thick purple plate with a cutout for ease of use. Under it, a starting hook made of OBC wire Ø 1,5 mm is attached to the fuselage rail. The wing, stabilizer and keel are covered with colored paper.

Artificial leather for touch emulation 15.04.2024

In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>

Additionally, the toilet has a large flushable storage capacity, making it ideal for multi-cat households. The Petgugu cat litter bowl is designed for use with water-soluble litters and offers a range of additional ... >>

The attractiveness of caring men 14.04.2024

The stereotype that women prefer "bad boys" has long been widespread. However, recent research conducted by British scientists from Monash University offers a new perspective on this issue. They looked at how women responded to men's emotional responsibility and willingness to help others. The study's findings could change our understanding of what makes men attractive to women. A study conducted by scientists from Monash University leads to new findings about men's attractiveness to women. In the experiment, women were shown photographs of men with brief stories about their behavior in various situations, including their reaction to an encounter with a homeless person. Some of the men ignored the homeless man, while others helped him, such as buying him food. A study found that men who showed empathy and kindness were more attractive to women compared to men who showed empathy and kindness. ... >>

Weather forecast based on GIS 24.12.2013

The American company Telvent DTN has patented a GIS-based automated weather warning system. The new system will be able to automatically process weather data, build forecasts, locate possible weather anomalies, such as tornadoes, heavy rains, etc. After receiving the data, the program itself will automatically send warnings to users located in the region that is at risk.

The system consists of a mobile terminal with a GPS receiver (this can be a specialized workstation or smartphone), a subscriber database that stores and constantly updates information about the location of the terminal (client). There is also an application that processes weather data and performs geospatial analysis of the size and intensity of weather events in the vicinity of the system user terminal. In this case, the forecast is made for any region where the user is located, and not just for predetermined places. If necessary, the system automatically sends a warning about impending bad weather.

First of all, the technology developed by Telvent specialists is intended for businesses and managers who are responsible for the safety of their employees. Also, the system can be used in transport, for example, on the railway, where bad weather can be associated with the danger of a train crash. In addition, the automatic disaster warning system can be popular with a large number of ordinary citizens who live in areas with a high probability of tornadoes, snow storms, and the like.

Almost simultaneously with Telvent, Apple also patented a new customizable interactive map.
New from Apple is a program that allows the user to customize and view different layers of information. Examples of such layers include travel data overlaid on a geographic map, weather forecasts, mobile network coverage areas, driving directions, and so on.

Interactivity gives the user the ability to adjust the content of the electronic map. Simply put, everyone can select the desired layers of information and display them individually or together. The card will be very easy to use. For example, simply tapping on a highway line on the touch screen can show traffic jams, legal turns, roadside facilities, and the like. - depending on the layers selected by the user.

The Apple Interactive Map can be integrated with GIS applications that greatly expand the list of available information and provide region-specific information.
