Looking forward to probably one of the only few and the ONLY model aircraft to attempt flying at Mach 2.5 at sea level, I have been bothered by one thing and only one thing alone. Should I call it Fuck Mach @ Springfield or just MACH? It is quite the debate, as Springfield could be called the Mecca of the Modern and Industrialized United States, as it is home to Abraham Lincoln, and it would not be appropriate to add derogatory terms to the project. But at the same time, the sheer endeavor to even attempt such a fool hardy adventure with composites and 3D printed monocoque fuselages deserves the FUCK, as we’re truly bending the laws and axioms of sanity.

THE MORE YOU FUCK AROUND, THE MORE YOU KNOW.

The most obvious justification to any step in life, any decision including the one to drink the bottle of diet mountain dew because the vending machine had nothing else, enlightens you, shows you new worlds and possibilities. For example, the decision to drink the said mountain dew, would open the doors to a world full of regret, guilt and sadness as well as possible poverty and adversity until you can find the next fully stocked vending machine and also have crossed the maximum transactions per minute limit on your card. A simple decision to bear the consequences shows you the possibility of hitting yourself in the foot with a hammer, as you realize the limits of being a stupid person with an extra $2.5 in their wallets. It brings you to term with certain realities such as the fact that you will never be respected amongst nerds, caffeine-addicts or by anybody else. You truly deserve no place in normal society, as the very essence of Mountain Dew is the unreasonable amount of sugar and caffeine in a drink which brings some semblance of sanity when you’re pulling 3 all-nighters in one day.

The same way, there is a certain echelon of stupidity and stupid achievement I intend to reach with this project of mine. Hopefully, I do not make a missile with 12 Kilograms of fuel, flying at Mach 2.5. Although it’d be pretty cool and gave me crazy bragging rights, it also is very similar to the V1 bomb. I am sure the Department of Homeland Security and ICE/USCIS would understand.

Sure, I would like to have the accolades or the respect that Von Braunn had, but preferably without the whole death and killings part. much appreciated 🙂

OK, WHAT ABOUT THE CRAFT! THE CRAFT! ONLY TALK ABOUT THE CRAFT!

So, the major aspects of the project include developing a system called Turbine Test Systems. Using multiple arrays of sensors, with multiple aggregators that feed into USB-C, as well as the software needed to process this kind of data, I hope to create a much more sane feed and processing of the behavior of the turbine. A major portion of the turbine is under conditions which the “normal” sensor will not be happy to stay around in. There include extreme challenges to create janky sensors that also are able to withstand these kind of conditions over and over again, relentlessly and repeatedly, go above and beyond specifications and even get destroyed itself but not damage the turbine. So, for all intents and purposes, the sensors have to be infantrymen.

The other more important potions of the system include the actual compressor itself, with its FADEC system as well the integration with the flight management systems, other Rx/Tx networks and of course a completely new type of aircraft design, although I was very much “inspired” by the B2. Without the expenses, unnecessary censorship and the badge of weird mutant companies that charge exorbitant amounts of money because why not :/

Then come the very insignificant things like making the aircraft, its design, the controls and electrical systems and other stuff which isn’t directly related to flying a craft. Just supplementary things that go buzzz inside the fuselage.
