With a modularized, cellular wing design that looks like a flying set of cupboards, the unmanned aircraft is a hybrid of fixed-wing and rotary wing technologies designed to create a vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) aircraft that boasts greater range and speed capabilities. The goal is to build a demonstrator aircraft that can reach a top sustained speed of 300 to 400 knots (345 to 460 mph, 555 to 740 km/h), hover with an efficiency of at least 75 percent instead of the current 60 percent, reduce the cruise lift-to-drag ratio from five or six to 10, and carry a payload equal to 40 percent of the X-Plane's 10,000 to 12,000 lb (4,536 to 5,443 kg) gross weight. …

It’s crazy to see how many wrong answers were posted for this question. "The Moon indeed revolves around the Sun."The Moon revolves neither around the Earth nor around the Sun.The Earth and the Moon revolves around their common center-of-mass. Since the Earth is much heavier than the Moon, this point is inside the Earth, but it’s not in the middle.The Earth also does not revolve around the Sun. The common center-of-mass of the Earth and the Moon has a common center-of-mass with the Sun. So the Sun and the common center-of-mass of the Earth and the Moon revolves around their common center-of-mass.At least in case you forget about the rest of the planets in the system. (And…

For the iPhone 5c in question, you don’t need to hack the encryption key; you need to “make” the encryption key. It is generated from a combination of the user-created PIN or password and a unique key that Apple embeds in each iPhone 5c when it is manufactured. The FBI is asking Apple to create a new operating system with the ability to disable certain security protocols – specifically to defeat the limit on failed passcode attempts and to remove the delay caused by failed attempts. With this new weaker security protocol and forensic software written to try every possible PIN or password combination, the FBI hopes to regenerate the unique key required to open the phone. …

Inscription Translation (1) (their) gall eructating. I had no rival, my weapons were unopposed, (2) and among the princes, my predecessors, not one was (my) equal.

(9) Like sheep I drove their fat people. (10) He who to save his life had fl…

See main article on Holy Spirit >THEODORE OF MOPSUESTIA{*} (circa. 350-428 C.E.): “...The people of the Old Testament WERE UNAWARE of a distinct hypostasis of a Holy Spirit identified as a person [GREEK FONTS] in its own right in God, since everyone before the coming of Christ the Lord knew of God and creation BUT NOTHING FURTHER. The divine Scripture taught this to its readers at that time without having an insight into anything in invisible creation consisting of separate kinds, referring to all the invisible and ministering beings in general as angels and powers, which according to its teaching carried out the divine decisions. Consequently, they WERE NOT in a positi…
