Where do you fit the rod holders and downriggers on the SEA F-18?

:P

 

Tilt-cockpit VTOL F-18.

Same for F-16/F-17

Got some problem to open that link but was this an official project ?

 

Of course there's some trickery behind this but from time to time it's nice to become a child again :)

Yes, it was.

 

SUMMARY

 

Free-flight tests were made using a model of a vertical-attitude VTOL fighter with a pivoted forebody (nose-cockpit) design. The tests were conducted in the Langley fullscale tunnel and included a study of delta- and swept-wing configurations from hovering through the transition to normal forward flight. Evaluations were also made of the control required to hover with and without artificial damping. Static force tests were also conducted to aid in the analysis of the flight tests. With artificial rate stabilization, very smooth transitions could be made consistently with relatively little difficulty. Because of the lower apparent damping and a tendency to diverge in yaw, however, the swept-wing configuration was considered to be much more difficult to control than the delta-wing configuration.

 

With rate dampers off both configurations were very difficult to control and the control power needed for satisfactory flights was substantially higher than with the rate dampers operating.

Water was flashing into steam in a pan full of very hot grease.

 

You mean you don't keep a couple M16s in your kitchen?!

No, unfortunately my supplier only had a few FN SCARs in stock at that time. :(

Rice Cakes.

 

You boil them in hot oil.

 

Once in the oil, the outside immediately gets sealed. If you keep them in the hot oil without puncturing them, the inside keeps boiling and building up pressure. He probably used to hot oil and/or forgot to puncture the cakes.

 

When they started to popp, he just should have left them until they cooled down.

Perhaps not the most flattering representation of Russian/Soviet ingenuity, but I like it :D

 

Here's an example of British ingenuity- early aircraft early warning systems:
