Hinges under stress - mechanical engineering type question by Corrie
Thinking about a hinge like this (end view): ____(O)____ where "___" is the plate, "( )" is the barrel, and "O" is the hinge pin. It would be bolted through the plates to the surface below. The barrel sits "on top" of the plates. Hope that makes sense. It's in tension and/or compression (some...

Modifying Vision plans for retractable gear... by Chris
Dear All: I am researching various options for a homebuilt aircraft. I am located in Thailand, and over here labor is significantly more obtainable than money, so cost is definitely a primary concern. Build time can always be compensated for by enlisting help. Based on what I want, it appears that...

V8 fuel flow by Robert Bates
I was reading on a site about someone running a Chevy LS1 that was derated to 320hp and bone stock that was running 10.9 gal/hr at cruise. Does anyone have experience with these engines? If it is accurate, that is quite a savings over Lycoming and Continentals of that HP.
