During the late stages of the war‚ when the series of events are beginning to turn out quite nicely for the Allies‚ the United States’ Joint Intelligence Objectives Agency captured German scientists specializing in aerodynamics‚ chemical weapons‚ and medicine and extricated them from Germany. Over 1500 Nazi scientists were brought secretly to America without the approval of the State Department‚ in a project called Operation Paperclip. The operation was made quite efficient by the fact that most

Technology played a crucial role in determining the outcome of World War II. Much of it was developed during the interwar years of the 1920s and 1930s‚ some were developed in response to valuable lessons learned during the war‚ and some were beginning to be developed as the war ended. The inventions of the repeating machine gun‚ the development of poison gas‚ and the introduction of the first tanks caused armies to fight using the bunkering method. This allowed men to huddle in trenches along what

The field must had 120 yards long by 53.3 yards wide‚ based on the measuring system used there. The ball is a prolonged spheroid‚ which is about 11 inches long and 22 inches in circumference and it‚ weight around 0.875 lbs‚ to make the balloon aerodynamic so that it can travel longs distances. Each competitor must use helmets and padding during the game. The name of the things change‚ for example when you made a goal in Rugby it is called Try and in Football‚ touch down.

How do you make a turbofan more efficient? Connecticut based engine maker Pratt & Whitney (P&W) approached this dilemma by simply adding a gear. Their new PurePower PW1000G series engine utilizes an advanced gear system that allows the engine’s fan to operate at a different speed than the low-pressure compressor and turbine. The new gear system‚ along with an all new highly advanced core‚ delivers double digit improvements in fuel efficiency‚ environmental emissions and noise. Although this isn’t

hydrogen were discovered which in turn led to the invention of hydrogen balloons.[1] Various theories in mechanics by physicists during the same period of time‚ notably fluid dynamics and Newton ’s laws of motion‚ led to the foundation of modern aerodynamics. Tethered balloons filled with hot air were used in the first half of the 19th century and saw considerable action in several mid-century wars‚ most notably the American Civil War‚ where balloons provided observation during the Battle of Petersburg
