Future Car Prototype

My Car I have created, I believe is an accurate representation of what cars of the future are going to be like. My car is very low profile but has very large wheels. This allows more of the car itself to be moved by less power. The Body of the car also provides ways to help propell the car forward. The body of the car reduces drag and Weight allowing for less power. Since the body is so low profile and Areo dynamic the airflow is much easier on the car. the body of the car is also made mostly out of aluminum and inside is made out of carbon fiber allowing the lightest choice for cars. the car will be powered by electricity. The electric motors will be able to drive 1000 km on a single charge allowing you to drive back and forth to work many times before recharging. Since you are able to drive so far the battery is large meaning charging it will take 2-3 days. Safety on the prototype only can withstand crashes under 60 Kmh since it's so light. Further on in Prototypes more airbags and different types of metal will be added to support the tiny electric sports car.

Egg Drop

Today we had to drop an egg from the second floor of the school. The first idea that came to mind to protect the egg was a parachute. I got the parachute from the last project we did. Only this time the parachute was bigger and had a basket on it like a hot air balloon. The egg was dropped from the second story and survived the drop. the parachute created enough drag to decrease the impact of the drop. not to mention the garbage bag wrapped egg to decrease direct impact to the egg.

Car Saftey

The Ford Raptor, is an outstanding truck with endless capability from being a baja truck to a daily driver for any person. Obviously from just looking from the outside the raptor is a large truck, A little more beefier then your average truck. The Raptors weight alone Doubles the weight of your average Sedan. Not to mention  the height (6.5 feet). Which is a great feature because if ever in a head on Collision the oncoming car will most likely depending on the height will go under the cab allowing more protection to the driver and passengers. The Ford raptor is also the first truck of its class to have hill decent technology. Allowing the truck to slow down letting the driver have more control of the truck. The ford raptor also has trailer control balancing of the truck allows the trailer to stay stable in any terrain.

Parachute.

1. What adjustments/Changes did you make to your design after trying it the first time?
The first parachute we made and tested was filled with air. although a good idea there was little drag and it couldn't hold the wieght up for a long time. The second time we put a hole through the top and bottom and the parachute increased time by 1 second.

2. What forces act the parachute?
The drag against the whole parachute slows down the whole parachute.

3.What Changes would you make to transport something heavier.
If I were to use more material I could make more surface area and create more drag.

Future Of Flight

After extensive research of flight I have come to a conclusion that many of the "Prototypes" Of future flight is just remakes of old planes, Mainly being old war birds of the second World War and Korean War with of course some exceptions. Many of the future models may look identicle or have same features but they have very different objectives of flight.

Not to long ago the U.S.A made a bomber just shy of costing a billion dollars. This bomber is called the "B2". The B2 bomber was made in 1997 but still has technology that is advance in our time. but the scary part of the plane is where it originated from.... Nazi Germany in the Second World War. Considering 70 years ago a similar aircraft was created (Ho229)and being ready to be tested and now the same layout is used to create a billion dollar bomber is mind blowing. Back in 1945 this captured aircraft was made out of mainly wood. The reason for this was to stay off the radar. The goal of this light bomber was to reach a surface Cieling of 15000 meters and to drop up to 3000 kilograms of bombs.

Today the b2 even though getting close to 20 years old is still in service in the US airforce. The reason the b2 is such a unique design is because it is so sleek and flat. Making the b2 have barely any drag. Strangely the b2 bomber only has a top speed of 1100 Kmh but makes up for it with the bomb load of eighty 500 lb bomb capacity 

What is the future of the flying wing? Since the flying wing is such a neat inovation of flight it is most likely the design will be hanging around for a while. After looking through Prototypes of a flying wings models have popped up with slightly different features. Obviously the objective is to always have a better aircraft which the Prototypes do. The one model of a wing shows a different tail giving different drag (More Elevators and Alierons in the back compared to the B2 Bomber)

Breaking the sound barrier

1947 Marked a milestone in Jet Aviation. Chuck Yeager broke the sound barrier and maxing out the aircrafts speed at 1600 Kmh. Making the bell x1 the fastest aircraft of the time.

Chuck Yeager the Pilot that set the milestone, is still alive to this day (92 Years old). Chuck Yeager took part in the Second Word War, Cold War Events and The Cold War. Chuck Yeager was also a flight instructor and Test pilot  (How he broke the sound barrier).

The X1 Was the first aircraft to break the sound barrier in level flight. An obvious reason the X1 was able to break the sound barrier was because it was rocket power giving the aircraft more thrust then any other aircraft of the time. Later on in the years the X1 was equipped with more fuel cap. Allowing it to go quiet a bit faster. From 1600 Kmh to 2600 Kmh.

Since the X1 was only propelled by rocket powered and the fuel capacity was low they had to air drop the X1 put of another aircraft, The B29 SuperFortress. The B29 was a late ww2 Bomber and was the largest aircraft of its time. The B29 was the plane for the job considering it could carry the most payload.The B29 also participated in the Hiroshima bombings in ww2.
