We have a V2 and a "Doodlebug" at the Australian War Memorial in Canberra. I know the V1 is on display, last time I was there, the V2 was in their restoration annex, where you can see things from an enclosed walkway, but not get up close. I think we have a 163 Komet, too, and maybe a 262? We def have a 109 on permanent display, but it's not a rocket/jet, obviously.
Hi,
I was hi-jacked a few years ago, by the Space Museum. The airplane side noticed me, asking about the Franklin Engine, and oh yes then not now as they got into financiall problems last year they had all you mentioned but a 163 Komet there, although I think the 262 was built after the war that they had, but. But they lost a lot of it in the reorginization. The space stuff is still there. They asked me to join them. I said no on the airplane side, I was just looking, and it was about my 23rd trip there over the years. They have a notable plane. It is the Spruce Goose there.
It is Evergree Aviation and Space Museum in McMinneville Oregon.
Anyway as I made my way over to the space museum, a guy made me upset. He was saying things about the SR-71 that were not true, and yes in museums there is a lot of people saying things that are not true, and there is a lot of truth there, from others. By the time I left, the guy making up things, not caring, wasn't doing that anymore, by the force of the material that was used after I came and talked about that hybrid engine for the SR-71.
The space guys aided by the guy from the aviation side, put an application in front of me, and I filled it out, near closing time.
I was later assigned to the Space side. The Rocket Scientist there, was not going to let me not learn Rocket Science. Okay, I can now tell you this next part.
Rockets are momentum devices. Also and off topic now, 95% of a rockets weight or more, is fuel, not casings or motors.
I do not like to think of rockets in terms of momentum, but rather force over time. And actually force time time or force over time, is actually momentum, but. For me it is easier to think or the reason rockets work, and yes knowing I think that what Newton said in what is called his third law now, that if you push things out of anything, that anything goes in the opposite direction of that push now, more than it did before.
In more esoteric terms and you probably know all this, but others are here also. Force = Mass time Acceleration, and Force time time = Mass time Momentum, and. And this is the point. Rocket motion which is a mass/weight on earth at a certain velocity, is momentum. It is the technical definition of momentum. So, he is and was right, to understand rockets, all you have to do is understand momentum.
LOVE, (My best recollection of the way God actually loves and not some other kind.)
