Arado Ar. E. 555/1 Overview

Arado E 555-1 Arado Ar. E. 555/1 Overview The Ar.E.555/1 long range bomber concept was part of a design study conducted by Dr. Ing. W. Laute and an Arado design group at the Arado Werks at Landeshut/Schesien. The E.555 study was looking at the advantages of a jet powered planar flying wing. It would combine the wing and body of the airframe together with laminar flow characteristics to provide high cruise speed and long range. As many as 10 (some sources say 11) different variations were studied. These were limited to study only. The RLM decreed on December 28, 1944, all heavy bomber activities be ended. The strain on the aircraft industry to supply enough defensive fighters to stop the around-the-clock bombing of German war assets was given the highest priority. Thus the E.555 series of designs remained as studies only. Arado Ar. E. 555/1 Historical Details As early as 1897, German military thinkers were looking at the United States as a possible adversary.

Nazi Germany: The Lippisch P.13a Mach 2.6 range & fuelled by coal

Image
As conventional fuels were in extremely short supply by late 1944, Lippisch proposed that the P.13a be powered by coal. Initially, it was proposed that a wire-mesh basket holding coal be mounted behind a nose air intake, protruding slightly into the airflow and ignited by a gas burner. The last desperate attempts by the Luftwaffe to stop the Allied bomber streams were exemplified by the demand: fighters, fighters, fighters – quick and simple to build, cheap and from easily accessible materials, small dimensions, superior speed compared to enemy escort fighters and firepower. Nearly all aircraft manufacturers and designers in the Third Reich put designs to paper along these lines. Even Dr. Lippisch’s ideas during the last year of the war fit into this concept. Of his numerous variants, the Lippisch 13a was actually given serious consideration. It was the end of the war that prevented further development beyond the un powered DM-1 test glider. After the war, Lippisch, working

         In a  recent  editorial (August, 1959), Hugo Gernsback called     for a serious reappraisal of the  effects  of radio waves on human     and animal physiology.  In view of the almost casual  use of high-     power radar and industrial RF (radio frequency) heating equipment,     this is certainly a timely word of warning.          It is  not  surprising  then  that  the  Air Force is already     keenly aware of these problems, and has a number of projects under     way to discover the exact effects  of  high-intensity radar pulses     and microwaves on  human  and animal tissue.  These  projects  are     being carried out  at our major universities, each specializing in     one particular frequency.   For   example,   the  project  at  the     University of California,  under  the direction of  Prof.  Charles     Susskind, is primarily  investigating  the  effects  of 3-CM radar     energy.  Test subjects are mice, ants, and yeast

The United Nations Marine Corps Feasibility Study Program: - a Standing Force for the United Nations

Prepared by Brigadier General A. R. Courtney UNMC Brief Background Notes Over the years there have been numerous proposals for an independent dedicated UN controlled military force, principally arising from domestic political considerations of the member nations, manifesting itself in a reluctance to become involved in sensitive or long duration peacekeeping operations. This has been further compounded in recent years by concerns over casualties in the forces traditionally supplied for such operations. It has been suggested that an entirely volunteer force of some 5,000 internationally recruited personnel forming a UN  Rapid Reaction Force  and operating under unique rules of engagement, with its members having renounced their nationality in favour of UN status, would deflect responsibility from any one nation or group of nations to the collective, while any casualties arising from active service would not be directly ascribed to or focused upon member states. These factors alon

Alien Biological Contaminant

The charts linked to above show the measurements of the off-world  Alien Biological Contaminant  (ABC) first identified in 1946 during Operation High Jump, now known to be a mix of sophisticated artificial virus-like nano-technologies of alien origin, classified as the M1a-M1k and M2 series.Subsequent evidence indicates that at the time of Admiral Byrd's initial off-world excursion in 1934, the two forms of ABC had been at trace levels since the beginning of the  Cambrian Explosion  some 530 million years ago (mya), , whereas prior to this date only evidence for the M1 type can be found, and then only back to circa 2,100mya. It then rose to a figure somewhat less than 100 units by Byrd's return five months later in 1935. This can be asserted due to the fact that despite his long and unprotected exposure, Byrd did not suffer the detrimental  conversion  process typical of later casualties, although it is considered that it was a contributing factor to his death in 1957.
