Colin S Posted January 9, 2013 Report Posted January 9, 2013 I'd like to ask the eyes of those with vaster knowledge of aviation than I what they think of the following items: What in heaven's name is this? And this? (Please don't say de-icing, this is Hawaii) Thanks ahead of time Quote
Peter T. Posted January 9, 2013 Report Posted January 9, 2013 Maybe the designers just make those to make the airport look more cool or complicated... jokes....but thats one super high resolution imagery i see Quote
chris k Posted January 9, 2013 Report Posted January 9, 2013 Top one : arrestor cables for fighter jets. They practice "hitting the wire" using a non-floating-and-bobbing runway first. =) 1 Quote

Colin S Posted January 10, 2013 Author Report Posted January 10, 2013 or modern art.that literally made me laugh loud enough my dad came in. Top one : arrestor cables for fighter jets. They practice "hitting the wire" using a non-floating-and-bobbing runway first. =)Thank you. Chris, do you know how I could model the physics of this? Are there any codes for this (and if there are how do you use them I have no experience whatsoever in programming beyond "Hello World.exe" Maybe the designers just make those to make the airport look more cool or complicated... jokes....but thats one super high resolution imagery i see Can't wait to finish it. I still need a solution for the bottom one Quote
Cooley Posted January 10, 2013 Report Posted January 10, 2013 The second pix makes me think of a dead body outline for a Shorts aircraft. 1 Quote
Teddit Posted January 10, 2013 Report Posted January 10, 2013 And this? (Please don't say de-icing, this is Hawaii) Thanks ahead of time I have seen this at a military airbases in Australia. Where they role ACF into and crank the water up. More over, I have seen helos hover above it and land, possibly simulating landing under extreme wet conditions.Crazy. Tedd Quote
