Overwhelming similarities between microorganism created sinkholes and Martian "craters"

Overwhelming similarities between microorganism created sinkholes and Martian "craters"

a) it appears that microorganisms create sinkholes like those located in a warming Siberia

b) it is obvious that the same or similar action is taking place on Mars

c) many or most of the "craters" on Mars are volcanic calderas and microorganism created sinkholes

Проект экраноплана - носителя УРО фирмы "Грумман" (США. 1966 год)

 

Проект экраноплана - носителя УРО фирмы "Грумман" (США. 1966 год)

По заказу ВМС США фирмой «Грумман» в 1966-м году на основе ряда исследований по созданию кораблей с динамическими способами поддержания, был разработан экраноплан-ракетоносец общей массой 300 тонн. Он был выполнен по схеме «летающее крыло» с изменяемой геометрией за счёт особой конструкции шайб-поплавков.

Последние с помощью специального привода могли отгибаться верх и занимать оптимальное положение в зависимости от условий полёта. С целью снижения степени возмущения потока воздуха над крылом кабина экипажа устанавливалась на специальных стойках-пилонах. Крыло завершалось мощными закрылками, используемыми при старте для создания статической воздушной подушки.

Маршевые турбовинтовые двигатели и рули направления были установлены на высоких пилонах над крылом, воздухозаборники стартовых двигателей располагались на палубе, при полёте в расчётном режиме они закрывались специальными створками. Вооружение корабля состояло их ракет класса «корабль-корабль» и зенитных ракет. Пусковые установки и боезапас размещались в толще крыла, а пуск производился через люки, открываемые в нужный момент.

Проект крылатой ракеты М-44 (К-44) (СССР. 1956-1960 год)

 

Проект крылатой ракеты М-44 (К-44) (СССР. 1956-1960 год)

В 1956 году по инициативе ОКБ В.М.Мясищева началась разработка самолета-снаряда «изделие 44» (М-44) класса «воздух-поверхность». КР, предназначавшаяся для систем М-52, М-56К и 3М, должна была обладать меньшими габаритами и лучшими ТТХ, чем Х-20.

Ракета оснащалась двумя ТРД и инерциальной системой наведения. По всей видимости, главным конструктором ракеты К-44 был П.В.Цыбин, возглавивший эту разработку после объединения его ОКБ-256 с ОКБ-23. Согласно расчетным данным ракета К-44 могла доставлять боевую часть весом 2300 кг на расстояние 2000-2300 км. Полет ее должен был проходить со скоростью 3000-3200 км/ч на высоте до 21 км. Компоновка и аэродинамика ракеты увязывались с самолетом-носителем с целью получения минимального сопротивления в полете.
