Now it just appears you’re trying to save face. Go ahead and find where Schrenk did the calculation of extending boundary layer control to all the wetted surface of the craft, and how much the lift coefficient would be changed. It increases the coefficient of lift by 8X. Keep in mind that at transonic speeds, more than 90% of the drag is skin friction drag, which is caused by the boundary layer.
We accomplished amazing things during that time period—just not everything that was claimed...
Which book? I’ve lost the title amongst the rubble of the thread.
Once you realize that many of our “leaders” ..particularly in the dimwad party.. did LSD in college while embracing Marx and watching the original Star Trek.
Then it all kind of makes sense.. sort of.
Start with
“Spoonfeeding for Dummies”
then
look for any other book mentioned in the thread
then
do your own homework
then
stop bein’ such a lazy fantasist.
I can be anything I choose.
Then make the right choice.
I would guess that human immune systems pose a deadly risk to the aliens - and the vaccines are intended to minimize the threat as much as possible.
And if Fauci and the Democrats don’t get everybody vaccinated in time, they will be the first ones eaten. :)
I will. I’m going to go do something else that doesn’t involve communications with a snark. Time to get back to the Enigma build.
Thinking of you.
