Seeing that I enjoy understanding the technical details behind motorsports, especially Formula 1, I had to read this from beginning to end. I won’t go too much into detail since I don’t want to spoil a good read, but I will mention …
Environmental Factors Degrade Optical Performance When optical systems become exposed to a non-ideal environment, their optical performance degrades. For example, a lens system which was designed to produce high quality images may produce poor quality images when subjected to the thermal effects of a laser beam. Some of the energy in the beam …
The Global Observer is an unmanned aircraft with the wingspan of a Boeing 767 but less than 10% of the weight designed to provide communications and sensing for flights lasting up to one week at up to 65,000 feet. With a maximum wing loading of only 3.5 pounds per square feet, the wingtip deflects greater …
