the cartoonish look can be solved by adjusting the shadings, at the moment they are either to dark or to light. http://i58.tinypic.com/303lmqq.png How is that? Better or worse? You've got a good grasp of the style, but the designs are too... Well, as JSB said, cartoonish, as well as too perfect. Ea...

Try that. That is the rocket assembly shed/service tower. You can quibble terms all you want, but that is not the Russian method at all. It's a vertical stack procedure once the rocket core and strap-ons is levered into the garage. The garage at completion of the stack rolls back once the stack is ...

For the crewed Falcon 9, LC39A would be used, so that the existing Shuttle access tower could be reused after some modification. Modifications for vertical integration of USAF payloads would also have to be done, which would be a mixed horizontal (for the rocket) and vertical (for the payload) inte...

The Russians chose the wrong way. And once you get up to around two million parts and 1500 tonnes there is only one right way. The crane lift stack method. Might as well design it the right way for all of your launchers over the 500 tonne class. Space X discovered that Falcon 9 is about the upper li...

http://i57.tinypic.com/104fae1.png Rockets as you might have seen them if the Russians had been serious space explorers. Or it could have been the Americans. Either nation could have built something like that series given van Karman or Korolev could have gotten sufficient funding. The Russians actu...

Today' offerings are a revised gunboat and a couple of torpedo boat destroyers.

Not enough distance, and if you think about it, you will know why. Air flow unstuck produces turbulence over the length of the cylinder. From the citation Judah 14 helpfully provided (thank you, sir.): Following the February 1953 decree, OKB-1 superseded the N-3 study with a development project code...

http://i62.tinypic.com/2j424gx.png Continuing with my AU building and the learning curve. Three possible candidates for battleships. The logic is that the Americans finally develop an 11 inch/34L gun of their own. They have attained a suitable 5.9 inch and 3.5 inch quick-fire gun for secondary arma...

Do you know what harmonic air flow around a cylinder is, and what happens when boundary flow is rolled at mid-cylinder? The cylinder will snap in two in the direction of strain. Like breaking a twig in two. A rocket will HUM at you . That flies right. If it starts shaking and oscillating and a reach...
