  • @HeartlesJosh
    @HeartlesJosh ปีที่แล้ว +35

    The F-14's asymmetric thrust nozzles are because of a quirk in it's design.
    There are two hydraulic systems in the F-14 and each is powered by one of the F-14's two engines. By default, if the plane is on the ground and there is thus "weight on wheels", the thrust nozzles default to opening fully to reduce exhaust speeds and lessen the effect on ground crew that have to walk behind the engines. When weight is off the wheels (as in when the plane is airborne), the thrust nozzles default to the closed position for improved thrust, only opening when the afterburner is engaged. They also default to the closed position when there is an electrical system failure to ensure that you have thrust as if you were airborne whilst the controls revert to old fashioned hydraulic manual leverage. The right side engine should be shut down first and so that engine defaults to the closed position. Then hydraulic power is lost when the left side engine is shut down, so that nozzle stays in the weight-on-wheels open position.
    This can then be adjusted, if needed, by ground crew once both engines are offline and presumably after they've cooled down.

    2:42 Not only that, but if you fire without power and turn on your engine, getting some battery power, in the last few seconds of the reload, you can hear the autloader properly working again, this also happens when you don't have ammo inside the autoloader, as soon as the reload count reaches that 7.1s mark, the autoloader will restart.

      Because the ammo is quite far from the roll axis, it has a very profound effect on its moment of inertia.

    The Mikulin M17 engine that powers the KV-1 is a license-built BMW VI engine as found on the 1.0 Do17 as well as the german Reserve biplanes.
    For many planes, the automatic engine control will not open the radiators at all during WEP, and using manual engine control is much more effective.
    A great example is the Ki-61-II Otsu Kai. Usually, you can't stay on WEP for more than 30secs-1min as it will overheat, but even with the radiator at just 20-30% on a cold map, you can WEP for the entire battle granting you an extra 200hp-ish.
    This also applies to the Bf110s and many bombers for example.

    5:43 Repairing damaged t-34's with different roadwheels was actually very common during ww2, cause the tank was manufactured by several different factories, some even had slightly different turret shapes and armor thickness.
    Also they are interchangeable between t-34, 44 and 54/55. When the production of the t-34 ended, many tanks that were still operational untill the 60's had their wheels and tracks replaced by those from the t-55.

    • @LeadHeadBOD
      @LeadHeadBOD ปีที่แล้ว

      All production models of T-34 used christie suspension, whereas all Soviet and modern Russia's main battle tanks from T-44 onwards use torsion bars, how are they even remotely interchangeable? One has vertical springs across the entire height of the side armour, the other has bars across the floor. The road wheels are also not entirely interchangeable, they are the same diameter, but wider on the T-54.

    Regarding fuel and flight performance, sometimes being heavier is better. When you're flying a BnZ plane, the extra fuel can allow you to store energy MUCH better. You'll fly around like you weigh more, but people do this intentionally all the time. Glider pilots have ballasts of water to intentionally retain their energy and they only lower them once they know they're done and want to glide for as far as possible or land.
    Having weight isn't a bad thing, in a P51 or F8U it can allow you to end up way faster out of a shorter dive than being super light
