	A3D - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A3D (Aureal 3-Dimensional) is a technology developed by Aureal that delivers sound with a three-dimensional effect through headphones, two or even four speakers.
		A3D differs from the various forms of discrete positional audio in that it only requires two speakers, while surround sound typically requires more than four.
		For all its promise, A3D was entirely displaced by EAX (a technologically inferior system at the time) and DirectSound 3D around the beginning of the year 2001.

	A-3 Skywarrior - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Skywarrior's strategic bombing role faded quickly after 1960, briefly replaced by the A3J Vigilante before the Navy abandoned the concept of carrier-based strategic nuclear weaponry.
		Skywarriors saw some use in the conventional bombing and mine-laying role during the Vietnam War from 1965 through 1967, but most of its subsequent service was in the tanker, photographic reconnaissance, and electronic warfare roles.
		The Skywarrior could carry up to 12,000 lb (4,445 kg) of weaponry in the fuselage bomb bay, which in later marks was used for sensor and camera equipment or additional fuel tanks.

		For all its promise, A3D was entirely displaced by EAX (a technologically superior system) and DirectSound 3D around the beginning of the year 2001.
		A3D was proprietary and licensed, and EAX/DS3D were free (butnot necessarily open) and therefore easier for software developers to build into their games.
		A3D technology is rumoured to be slowly making its way into Creative Labs products in the form ofEAX Advanced HD (which supposedly implements some of the 'real' A3D reflection mathematics, although the EAX/Audigyimplementation is still superior some 3 years on).

		It was these aircraft (manned by three crewmen) that were instrumental in evaluating the total concept of carrier-based strategic bombers, and experimenting with their use aboard aircraft carriers.
		Because of its size, the A3D was known as the "Whale".
		During the Vietnam War, the "Skywarrior" served in the tanker and countermeasures capacity.

	A-3 history
		The range capability of the A3D-1 was further exhibited during the first three days of September 1956 when aircraft of VAH-1 were launched from the USS Shangri-la whilst the carrier was steaming the Pacific from Mexico to Oregon and flew without refueling to their Florida home base at NAS Jacksonville.
		Progressively the Skywarrior’s role evolved as the Navy relinquished its strategic bombing role and began emphasizing the use of carriers and their aircraft in the context of limited wars such as the new conflict then flaring up in Vietnam.
		As retirement day approached, the Skywarrior remained the heaviest aircraft ever to be operated from a carrier, a record take-off weight of 84,000 lbs.

	B-66 Destroyer / A3D Skywarrior
		The first step was to delete from the Navy A3D the various inherent features of a carrier-based aircraft, such as folding wings, catapult capability, and arresting gear.
		In the same vein, the airframe structure had to be strengthened to compensate for the greater stresses of low-altitude, high-speed operation.
		It also needed new emergency air brakes, wing spoilers, improved lateral controls, changes to the wing's angle of incidence to minimize dutch rol1, better cockpit pressurization, and a number of other improvements (Dutch roll is the colloquial expression used to describe the combined yawing and rolling motion of an airplane.

		At 70,000 pounds, the A3D was the largest and heaviest aircraft ever to operate from an aircraft carrier.
		After flying a few conventional bombing missions over North and South Vietnam, Skywarriors were used as carrier-based aerial-refueling tankers and as reconnaissance aircraft covering the Ho Chi Minh trail.

		In 1964 Woody was flying the A3D Skywarrior off the USS Hancock, one of the few remaining 27 Charlie (Essex-Class) carriers still in operational existence at the time.
		After they were airborne, the A4's were to join up on a single A3D Skywarrior who would then take them individually to pre-designated radar-located Initial Points (IP) over the Okefenokee Swamp at 1,500 feet altitude where each Skyhawk would individually detach from the A3D and proceed on an attack heading to the designated target.
		After leaving the A3D, the A4C's were supposed to stay on the run-in heading provided by the mother-plane, time their arrival over the target, accelerate to 500 knots, and descend to 500 feet above ground level (AGL) using their radar altimeter's for the run-in at the target.

		Because of its slow airspeed and curious lack of ejection seats, pilots began joking morbidly that the designation "A3D" stood for "All Three Dead" (the plane carried a three-man crew).
		The Navy would never have a strategic bombing role in the defense of the United States, but the 282 Skywarriors which the Navy purchased served well in many roles.

		In the 1949, a whole new class of aircraft carrier was under development by the US Navy: the Forrestal-class "Supercarrier." To capitalize on the enormous size and launching capability of these new ship, a huge new attack bomber was developed by Douglas Aircraft.
		The world's largest and heaviest carrier-borne aircraft when it was designed, the A3D first flew in October 1952, and entered service in 1954.
		The Skywarrior saw steady action throughout the Vietnam War, and a few even served in the 1991 Persian Gulf War.

		The basic airframe of the A3D was retained for the B-66 with the majority of the design changes incorporated to convert the carrier-based Skywarrior design into a land based light bomber.
		The Pratt and Whitney J57s powering the A3D were replaced by Allison J71s of similar thrust rating.
