F-18 HARV in high-alpha flight with smoke generator NASA's Dryden Flight Research Center, Edwards, CA, used an F-18 Hornet fighter aircraft as its High Angle-of-Attack (Alpha) Research Vehicle (HARV) in a three-phased flight research program lasting from April 1987 until September 1996. Flight research with the HARV increased our understanding of flight at high angles of attack (angle of the wings with respect to the direction in which the aircraft was heading), enabling designers of U.S. fighter aircraft to design airplanes that will fly safely in portions of the flight envelope that pilots previously had to avoid.

Chronology - 2001 - Quarter 3 The RES-K instrument (Investigator: I. Zhitnik (LPI) was a X-ray spectroheliograph to provide high-resolution images of the solar disk using the emission lines of FeXXIV and FeXXV in the 18.5 -18.7 nm, and the MgXII line in the 84.1-84.3 nm range. The VUSS instrument (Investigator: A. Nousinov, IAG) was designed to monitor the intensity of full-disk, 121.6 nm Lyman-Alpha line in a band of 5 nm width, with a dynamic range of 0.1-30 erg/sq-cm/sec. The SPR-N instrument (Investigator: I. Sobelman, FIAN, and S. Kuznetsov, NIIYAF) was a X-ray polarimeter to measure nonthermal/synchrotron emissions in solar flares in the energy ranges 20-40, 40-60, and 60-100 keV range at a sensitivity of one microerg/sq-cm/sec. www.astronautix.com /chrono/20013.htm   (173 words)

Alpha-Omega Particle Cannon The Omega particles are collected in a device called an energy condenser, where they are compressed in a high-density I-field until they fuse into Alpha-Omega particles. To create the Alpha-Omega particles, a cannon-toting vehicle must first gather Omega particles from the vehicle's fusion reactor. The ubiquitous Alpha-Omega particle cannon - variously referred to as the beam cannon, beam gun, Alpha-Omega beam cannon, ad nauseum - is the standard armament of the Malket world's warships and mobile armors. malket.warp1.net /aopc.html   (173 words)

KLD Research & Analytics, Inc. -- Socially Responsible Investing and Research Accomplishments of the joint venture include the certification of the first heavy-duty truck engine to pass the European Union's rigorous Euro IV emissions tests and the registration of the Dual-Fuel powered Foden Alpha truck in the U.K. government's TransportEnergy PowerShift grant program. This technology combines the benefits of a diesel engine (quick response to load change, reliability, high efficiency and low cost) with the benefits of a natural gas engine (low emissions and typically lower specific fuel price) to provide a high performance, low emission, cost-effective, cleaner system that may also reduce fuel costs. CAP-Hardstaff, a joint venture between the San Diego and Nottingham companies, was formed in 2002 to launch Clean Air's Dual-Fuel technology into the U.K. Heavy Goods Vehicle market. www.kld.com /release.cgi?id=2037   (749 words)

Nat'l Academies Press, Assessment of Mission Size Trade-offs for NASA's Earth and Space Science Missions (2000), 2 Science Priorities and NASA Mission Plans In astronomy and astrophysics, notwithstanding the success of such astronomy missions as SWAS and the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE), the failure of the High Energy Transient Explorer (METE) owing to launch vehicle problems and WIRE and the partial failure of ALEXIS indicate that the risks associated with small missions can be quite high. The 300-kg spacecraft was equipped with a gamma-ray spectrometer, a neutron spectrometer, a magnetometer-electron reflectometer, an alpha-particle spectrometer, and equipment for a Doppler gravity experiment. The portfolio of mission sizes in astronomy and astrophysics includes large-scale missions that undertake broad areas of astronomy and astrophysics research and small missions (e.g., those in the Explorer line) that address very focused objectives. books.nap.edu /openbook/0309069769/html/31.html   (1302 words)

2006 Hummer H1 - Alpha Dog The Alpha badges on the new generation of HUMMERs arriving at dealers this April are the instant indicator the vehicle wearing the badge is HUMMER’s equivalent to the M-Series BMWs, V-series Cadillac’s, SS Chevrolets, and other performance-enhanced vehicle lines. HUMMER is making a statement with a mix of a marketing strategy and high-performance thinking with the “Alpha” marquee. One would think that an SUV that costs six-figures and is nearly eight-feet wide would have seating for four at least on par with what you’d get with a $199 airline ticket. www.gulfcoastnews.com /RT2006HummerAlpha1.htm   (979 words)

Reaching for interstellar flight - Space News - MSNBC.com Kare has designed one interstellar propulsion system that uses a long trail of pellets of fusion fuel, pre-placed along an acceleration path, to supply both power and reaction mass to a vehicle. But the best way to do interstellar propulsion seems to be to use beamed momentum - use the pressure of a laser beam or microwave beam to accelerate a reflective "sail" up to high velocity. The 4.3 light-years to Alpha Centauri equate to approximately 25 trillion miles. msnbc.msn.com /id/3741674   (3049 words)

F-18HARV EC91-075-38: F-18 HARV on ground during engine run showing thrust vectoring The exhaust plume from the left engine of NASA's F-18 High Alpha Research Vehicle (HARV) is deflected upward by the paddle-like vanes of the aircraft's thrust vectoring system during an early morning "hot loads" ground test of the system at the NASA Dryden Flight Research Center, Edwards, California. During the tests Feb. 15-22 1991, the thrust vectoring vanes were tested with both engines running and individually, and validated the structural loads and thermal profiles on the three vanes surrounding each engine. The thrust vectoring system was used to enhance maneuverability and control in flight regimes where conventional controls are ineffective. www.dfrc.nasa.gov /Gallery/Photo/F-18HARV/HTML/EC91-075-38.html   (226 words)

TAB H -- Friendly-fire Incidents The Alpha Troop Bradleys were exchanging direct fire with the enemy tanks and BMPs at ranges from about 100 to 800 meters, using their 25mm HEI (High Explosive Incendiary) and tungsten armor piercing (AP) munitions, as well as Tube-launched, Optically-tracked, Wire-guided (TOW) antitank missiles. The sergeant who was thrown from the top of the vehicle stated it was common knowledge within the unit that friendly fire had struck A-22, but he was unaware DU munitions were involved. Because the unit thought it was under enemy fire, his superior ordered him instead to continue the attack to suppress the fire. www.gulflink.osd.mil /du_ii/du_ii_tabh.htm   (6560 words)

The Land Power Journal The quickest way to get M113 Gavins in Army light infantry units is to re-equip their anti-tank (TOW) units with light tracked AFVs so they can now give Alpha, Bravo and Charlie Companies armored mobility as needed. Once the Emergency SOP is determined, the "Iraqi Freedom Combat Vehicle Hardening Team" will deploy to Iraq and oversee the immediate transformation of all of the vehicles at immediate risk. Its high time the U.S. Army relearn that a light tracked AFV should be the primary troop carrier for ALL its units in combat situations not the HMMWV. www.combatreform.com /octobernovember2003.htm   (13647 words)
