VEHICLES



Even though the plane in the picture above looks like a plane crash in the making, nothing is wrong with neither plane nor picture. The designer is actually also at his normal full five, as this is a version of NASA's experimental AD-1. The purpose of this type of wings was to test the hypothesis that rotating wings which was successfully demonstrated by an aircraft wing that could be pivoted obliquely from zero to 60 degrees during flight. This would lead to lower air resistance at high speeds. NASA had the right and AD-1 flew almost 70 test flights in the 70's and 80's.

Republic XF-84H
This plane may not look so bad, but there are very good reasons why the Republic XF-84H never became something. The problems stemmed from the propeller, which rotated faster than the sound. The supersonic propeller created a continuous "sonic boom" - the same boom as when a plane breaks the sound wall. Just that it never stopped. Even when the plane was on the ground, the noise was so intense and powerful that the crew threw up and the noise could be heard more than 35 kilometers away.

Scaled Composites Model 281 Proteus two sets of wings, one of which points the wrong way and the other is asymmetrical. Nevertheless, it was able to stay in the air for more than 18 hours in a stretch. Impressive, until the drones came on track in the 2000s.

Convair NB-36H
In the fifties, there were a lot of strange things. In the United States, one was in the process of making nuclear-powered bombers. This is one of them. On board, two nuclear reactors were in full swing. The purpose was to test the possibility of making bombers who could stay in the air for weeks, maybe months in stretches.

Tank VS Brick Road
When the US Army holds maneuvers in Germany they have to pay for any and all damage incurred, not only to roads and fields but animals that may be killed. But,  for instance, if a chicken is run over, the army has to pay for that chicken's lifetime production, not just replacement cost.
(that technically not a tank)

PEOPLE WHO LEAD INTERESTING LIVES


Women are not allowed to attend soccer matches in Iran. 5 girls sneak in Azadi Stadium in disguise to celebrate Persepolis championship in Iran's Persian Gulf Pro League.
Those are some very brave or very stupid young women.

At first, I wasn't sure which one had problems with their legs.

Fit this entire handgun in her vagina.
Police said that it had a bullet in the chamber.

If you want to quickly become your dog's alpha dog, just hold its mouth shut and gently push his head to the floor a few times a day. It really works.

Known as poffertjes. They even have a special pan for them. Street vendors sell them at events.

In my opinion, this is the most inspiring image ever taken.
