I note in the simulation of the Baron in MSFS (Dreamfleet's
simulation), there's a button on the left side of the pilot, part of several rows of buttons, marked "Ejection seat." I don't know if this is a joke on the part of the developers, or something that really exists in the aircraft. In the latter case, the only reason I can think of for it would be if it were something that existed on a military version of the aircraft. Is it really there? -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail. |

My Baron is equipped with the optional Aces II ejection seats in the front
only. Rather than a ballistic parachute, Beechcraft offered the option of ejection seats. They are zero-zero (will deploy a chute at zero altitude and zero forward velocity). The seat pan has a deployable survival kit as well as a self inflating raft. |

The Beechjet has a StarTrek matter-transporter that will
beam the passengers and cargo safely to the ground at the nearest discrete place, then it switches to phaser mode and destroys the aircraft so there is no dangerous debris falling on any city.

LOL
BTW, matter transmission as done on StarTrek can NEVER happen and just because of the Heisenberg (sp) effect. Einstein's equation works both ways, E=MC^2 means that to create matter with a weight equal to a person would require the energy of several thousand atomic bombs, under full control and without destruction of the mechanism.

Hell Jim, I'm still trying to deal with Scrodenger's cat and after dinner I have to find why Fermat outsmarted both me and the Pythagoreans with the 3rd exponent!!! :-))) Dudley |

Einstein's equation works both ways, E=MC^2 means that to create matter with a weight equal to a person would require the energy of several thousand atomic bombs, under full control and without destruction of the mechanism. The only reason it works on Star Trek is because of the discovery of controlled matter-antimatter reactions. In the early days it was difficult and dangerous, but dilithium crystals found on other planets made control of the reaction much easier. The transporter was impossible without the crystals, as was related technology, including the communicators. The communicators did not use radio waves as we know them, but were really miniature transporters that moved data. The phasers, including the hand weapons, also used this technology. Everything in Star Trek, from the spacecraft engines to shields, cloaking devices, communicators, the Tricorder and Dr. McCoy's examination pen were all variants of the same fundamental device. Even the Holodeck is dependent on it. |

Jim,
and just because of the Heisenberg (sp) effect. Ah, you're wrong. The Heisenberg correlator does away with that problem. Part of any decent beaming device. The technical advisors to Star Trek were asked once in an interview how the correlator works. Answer: "Thanks, just fine." -- Thomas Borchert (EDDH) |
