Music: Busted – Thunderbirds are go

For those who last time watch the Thunderbirds series back in the 90s, they would probably know what am I discussing on. I remember last time I used to watch Thunderbirdson TV 2 every Sunday morning around 9 like that. It was during my primary days if I can recall back. In 2004, there’s a remake of the Thunderbirds. The movie come out with new design of the Thunderbirds which is basically more futuristic. Above all, I always like Thunderbird 2.Why? Thunderbird 2 is the most biggest one of them all!

But once you getting more and more older, you start to realize that is it plausible for we to have such design of an aircraft?? I learn about Bernouli’s equation. Because of of the small area of the wing span, it is impossible for such aircarft to fly.? Based on the Lift equation:

L = oint pmathbf{n} cdotmathbf{k} ; mathrm{d}A,
where

  • L = lift

  • A = surface Area of the wing

  • P = Pressure value

  • n = normal unit vector pointing into the wing

  • k = vertical unit vector, normal to the free stream direction

Thus this can related to the Bernouli’s principle where if there’s low pressure, it will become a nature from the low pressure to become high pressure. Thus, lift is generated. ;)

However, from the design we have on the TB2, I don’t think it could fly because of the small area? of the wing span.

Anyhow, how do you explain this such design which almost the same as TB2 could fly?

Well, it’s very true that I’ve missed that particular point whereby I should have included the numbers. Some reviews from my friends who attended the presentation telling me that I wasn’t fully answered his question. True enough. I can feel it within myself. Maybe I was too scared or maybe his English is too good. Hehehe.

I did take note all the advices and some further notices which I can use in the future. Someone told me it’s too much politics. I’ll try to make sure myself to stay away from it in this situation. ;-) Other than that, I have to start looking for information which focuses more in practical usage. How hard is gonna be? I don’t know. So help me God.

I would like to say thank you to those who manage to fill their time attending my presentation. For those who had missed, see you in Part 2! This time I bet it’s gonna be huge. :)
