John -- John Clear - * * * * * * * * * * * *http://www.clear-prop.org/ Still not really durable enough to handle aircraft weight. Was less heat resistant than bottom portion. Think of it this way, bottom part gets really hot on reentry, shields top part. You could see some scorch marks on most of the post landing photos. Looks like little black scuff marks on foreward part near wing. Probably looks like a back to the drawing board moment. Oh, hey, anybody figure out we're landing on a carrier and we have some really high exhaust temps.... Remember the old drawing that went around what aerodynamicist built, weapons guys, all that, and what the customer wanted. Nothing changes. |
