Yeah. The ship is basically a carrier sized. But it's more like an LHD. basically LHA-6 sized I have a "thought experiment" for a "Rapid Disaster Response Ship". Well it's sized on my home country (real) looking on google Earth. 30 Knot sustained speed is basically allow reach of...
So, yeah i think i need a bit of "sanity check" So yeah did a bit of math on Gas turbine fuel consumption for ship. So i have a ship, 4 Gas turbines for 30 Knot sustained speed. One Gas turbine here requires about 2.4 metric tonne of fuel Per hour to produce the required power (19 MW) So 5...
1,000 klicks with a useful 500 kg load then? Yes you can. Light guidance and structures as well as somehow light rocket motor casing, to allow high propellant fraction. playing around with fractions yield me this https://i.ibb.co/r6dfXCB/2point9.png Wlaunch is launch weight PAY is payload Struc is ...
How far can you make ATACMS reach if you so desired? 500 klicks? Otoh LORA is like 400 klicks... If you can make it either Light or pack high fraction of propellant or both, it would take you far. very far. E.g Weight class of OTR-23 (4360 kg). If you can make somehow make the missile to pack 3700 ...
Other WIP's X3 basically a submarine, 3400 ton class diesel-electric. https://scontent.fcgk29-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/130708876_10218239935574133_7189935942405961014_o.jpg?_nc_cat=109&ccb=2&_nc_sid=730e14&_nc_ohc=Kby6w61oKRgAX9hwn6n&_nc_ht=scontent.fcgk29-1.fna&oh=24646aac92a0db...

So yeah. everyone would see me most in factbooks forum along with guys like Kyiv or Gallia. Anyway i mostly do military stuff. X3 These are some of my work. Some sceneries : https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca887773594c2.wixmp.com/f/22d1fde7-31c4-44d9-9910-3d75dd1c1224/deafp9o-12ba38b3-2fc8-44ec-9da7...
So i'm trying to explain about Radar absorbers to someone... in the simplest way possible. I started with "there are 2 kinds of absorbers. First is Dielectric, Second is magnetic" Then, "Both are dissipate the radar wave in form of heat, differences ? Dielectric behave like a resistor...
So yeah here is the 8x8 thingy in its barebone form. This one is manned and act just like your manned vehicle except it's small, can get into Helo (MI-17 and Chinook comes in mind) Carry 6 men or at this moment it's a crude 193 cm mock up of one. It can (hopefully) swim as it's basically a bath-tub ...
There actually scenarios where VTOL transports are desireable namely a rapid response forces. Or a scenario like Credible sport. Those two are reasons V-22 and many of its predecessors exists. Helicopters can only do so much especially with compressibility limit and retreating blade stall, one defin...
How are SLCMs guided to their targets (ship-borne, for example)? Of course, I know about their inertial guidance system and terminal guidance but what I am asking is how does the submarine cue the missile onto its target while submerged, then update it via data link? If you live in mid- 50's to lat...
So yeah. Im taking a liking on some smol vehicles that can fit within the confines of Chinook or Mi-17's.. those "Golf Carts" looks cool. Now here's an idea... so basically i want to make sumthin... maybe 3 meter in length, and some 2 m at most in width. The innovative thing about this is ...
Is everything alright with this write-up for a diesel-electric sub? Any typos, missing details, or major flaws? I feel like I might've phrased or understood the propulsion system incorrectly. Also have no clue how a torp tube-launched cruise missile gets out of the water. I'm curious where the tita...
Abrams TTBs? Nah..We dont use lame acronym for our tank... She is " Alessa " Shoving missiles in a capsule and mooring them on the ocean floor was considered by the US for the MX missile but was rejected for a number of reasons, among which where the fact they concluded that yes people wo...
Until Brezhnev got jealous of the new US Ohio -class with the claimed capabilities of the new Trident missiles and demanded a solid-fuel missile boat, which became Project 941 (Typhoon). This design shows how far behind the Soviets were in solid-fuel technology: despite being absolutely gigantic (m...
