At the time of his death, Dick Johnson was also working on a ground-
loop prevent'er and I have his concept drawings. The heart of the
system is a gyro that instantly detects lateral motion while on the
ground. The unit is armed via an oleo-strut micro switch and directs
high pressure air to the opposite wing (ground-loop detected to left =
air directed to right wing). A 2 inch plastic sleeve is mounted inside
both wings with a 10 pound sliding slug that will instantly fly from
the root rib to the wing tip just as soon as the gyro detects a ground-
loop developing. I believe the concept to be sound and I am presently
working on a method of stopping the slug when it reaches the wing tip.
Stat tuned,
JJ


JJ,

Be careful, Homeland Security and the TSA might want to know more
about that Sliding Slug, AKA a projectile-aircraft mounted-airborne
delivery system!

Lighten up Brad. The PAMADS is an entirely different project. What
you NEED to worry about is the stuff they're NOT talking about.

I still think the servo version we were talking about solves this
problem. The motion control program will provide the required decel
rate and permit accel motion and displacement to properly respond to
rate of lateral motion.
Did you review the patent disclosure I sent on this?
Should not have made public till disclosure is signed and prelim
application has been filed.

Can any of you tell me if the square of the hypotenuse is really equal to the sum of the square of the two adjacent sides or is it just really, really close?

I so rarely meet right angles that are truly 90.00 degrees, so I
usually use the more general form of c^2=a^2+b^2-2ab*cosC.

I thank you for reminding me of those college math courses with a foreign born prof who had such an accent that I questioned if he was speaking English.

Just wondering if the Dick Johnson wing flattener could be modified to be an SGS 1-34 nose uncrusher, tail straightener, wing undenter and canopy unshatterer?
