Polaris Spaceplanes konečně zvládli test lineárního pohonu aerospike

Demonstrační letoun MIRA II, který vzlétl z Peneemünde, zažehl za letu experimentální lineární pohon aerospike AS-1 LOX. Motor běžel 3 sekundy a stal se prvním motorem tohoto typu, který doopravdy poháněl letoun během letu. Po sérii testů by měl přijít na řadu o něco větší demonstrátor Nova a pak již kosmoplán Aurora, k němuž společnost Polaris směřuje. http://www.osel.cz/13775-polaris-spaceplanes-konecne-zvladli-test-linearniho-pohonu-aerospike.html

Živly jakožto kořeny všeho u Empedokla, pak živly jakožto prvky u Aristotela. A taky kvintesence. Hippokratés se bez živlů ještě obešel (navzdory převažující populární verzi), zato alchymisté je často pěstují, až Boyle zavede pojem prvek v novodobém smyslu slova. http://www.osel.cz/13774-zivly-jako-koreny-a-zivly-jako-prvky.html
