[QUOTE=SKEEA;36480704]Might want to rethink that statement. It has plastic rotor blades, and it is not made OF carbon fiber, rather it has carbon fiber reinforcing a polymer compound. I know it also is made of kevlar, but I was just making a joke about its plasticity.[/QUOTE]
You realise all carbon fibre is carbon fibre and a polymer, right? Carbon fibre is pretty soft by itself

No they weren't. They had a few designs, but nothing ever got put together.

[quote]So why does the Royal Bank Plaza have a tinge of gold in this picture you ask? Well every one of its 14,000+ windows is coated with a layer of 24 karat gold. At a cost of about $70 per window, the total value of gold in the windows is over $1,000,000 but, due to the manufacturing technique used to make the glass, the gold is unrecoverable. So hopefully that deters any of you troublemakers from thinking about grabbing some gold!

They made the turret but the project was then canceled or delayed, so they used it as a coastal defense gun.

I think this is the actual turret

Too bad the Apache doesn't fly nearly as much as the Kiowa and has avionics problems out the yinyang.

I remember reading that that turret is actually from a scrapped battleship, and that it's being used on a supertank was just a myth. They were actually planning to build it, but the project was scrapped before anything was actually made.

Hey, leave the Apache alone. Just cause the blades of his rotor are incredibly susceptible to sand and heat and unsuited for deployment in a desert nation such as Afghan or Iraq doesn't mean he's not a good chopper.
Just ignore the 30mm gun jams.

That is nothing compared to my 46 year old Kiowa.

Remember, the Army DOES upgrade its equipment. We have a new Kiowa model coming out, and the Apache is getting Block III upgrades. We upgraded to the UH-60M and the CH-47G.

I made a hand puppet by accident while on a road trip that looked exactly like a head with an extremely pointy nose( i hadn't clipped my nails at that time). I took a photo of it.

I'm hoping they use that as a longboard, because if you do an ollie with that it'll brake quickly.
