crazy, what i wanna know is how they make the turbine blades

ive jus finished up a project for siemens IGT and their turbine blades are milled from a single billet of material on a 5-axis CNC. the blade and the root is all one piece

they didnt have 5 axis machines back then


and lol at this

"Long takeoff rolls (>3,000') were evidence of this phenomenon and, once aloft, power management became critical. Abrupt throttle changes or rapid maneuvering often resulted in a flameout, or worse, a complete compressor failure."

id be gutted if the flames went out on my fighterplane lol!

i love all the crazy stuff they came up with in WW2, the brits, russians and germans all came up with some nifty stuff. which is why RTCW is one of my favourite games

They probably made them the same way that turbocharger compressors and turbines are made. They're cast.

coolio.

Hitler was retarded, they could have really helped them in the war...

I am glad Hitler was not bright enough to use them.

I get uncomfortable when people say 'if Hitler only did this or that they could have won.' I really hope there isn't even a slight bit of sympathy for the Nazi's. I mean he was the greatest mass murderer in history! THANK GOD they didn't win.

Oh, shut up.

He didn't say anything close to that.
