The myth about stowaway in airplanes wheel chamber.

If somebody is enough mad, and that person has the strong motivator anything could happen. If somebody wants to travel secretly to some other country theoretically the best way to make that secret trip, is to hide in some airplane’s wheel box. Those trips might cause the death for those travelers, but if they have the right equipment, like warm clothes and oxygen or air bottles the trip might be possible. If we think about the world record for the parachute jump, where the parachutist used a pressurized suit, and the altitude of some ski centers, which are above 4000 meters, we must realize that if the traveler will travel with commuter airplanes, he or she might not even need an extra oxygen.


There are rumors and stories about stowaway traveling in the airplane's wheel chamber, and the most of those attempts will end, when the passenger dies in the cold and loss of the air in the altitude of 10 000 meters. So never try this at the home. But traveling in that place is possible if the traveler has the right equipment. If somebody wants to travel in wheel box of the airplane, that person needs the suit, what keeps warm inside, and that equipment is the rescue suit, what is made for the arctic conditions. That person might also use small size compressor to fill those gas bottles, but I want to say that attempt to travel in the wheel box of airplanes will have the extreme risk.

Also, the extra oxygen is needed in that kind of action. Or that person might use fishing hauler and electric blanket, what keeps that person warm. And of course, he or she needs a parachute or wingsuit, what is in the second picture, because if that person wants to come in some country secretly, that traveler must jump from the plane, before it lands to the airfield because otherwise, the airport crew will find that person. The use of wingsuit might be easier than the use of the parachute.  If I write in some text, where is mentioned, that some things are possible, that doesn’t mean that those actions are easy.


The person who wants to travel that way needs also life west if he or she needs to jump above from sea and very good parachute jump skills. The traveler must use free fall drop from the plane, because there is the need for separation, and after that, the parachute must be opened. But here is one big question. Why somebody does that? Why some persons want to hide some trips even with risking they own life.


One answer might be that some secret service or special forces operator might able to bring to the country for some secret operations, but there is another hypothesis, where somebody will able to try that kind of mission. And of course, that person must be sure, that there will not leave anything in that small chamber because in that situation the airport crew must see those stuff. That somebody might be some person, who desperately wants to escape from some country because he or she might fear for the lives.

Chinese innovations and space lasers are interesting combinations.

Above: "Tiangong is China's operational space station located in low Earth orbit. (Image credit: Alejomiranda via Getty Images)" (Scpace.com, China's space station, Tiangong: A complete guide) Chinese are close to making nuclear-powered spacecraft.  Almost every day, we can read about Chinese technical advances. So are, the Chinese more innovative than Western people? Or is there some kind of difference in culture and morale between Western and Chinese societies? The Chinese superiority in hypersonic technology is one of the things that tells something about the Chinese way of making things.  In China, the mission means. And the only thing that means is mission. That means that things like budgets and safety orders are far different from Western standards. If some project serves the Chinese communist party and PLA (People's Liberation Army) that guarantees unlimited resources for those projects. Chinese authorities must not care about the public opinion.  If we th

Iron Dome is one of the most effective air defense systems.

The Iron Dome is a missile defense system whose missiles operate with highly sophisticated and effective artificial intelligence. The power of this missile defense base is in selective fire. The system calculates the incoming missile's trajectory. And it shoots only missiles that will hit the inhabited area. The system saves missiles and focuses defense on areas that mean something. The system shares the incoming missiles in, maybe two groups. Another is harmless and another is harmful.  Things like killer drones are also problematic because their trajectories are harder to calculate than ballistic missiles. The thing that makes drones dangerous is that they can make masks for ballistic missiles. And even if those drones are slow, all of them must be shot down.  The thing is that the cooperation between drone swarms and ballistic missiles is the next danger in conflict areas. In the film, you can see how drones make light images of the skies. The killer drones can also carry LED li

The innovative shield that protects OSIRIS-APEX can also protect the new hypersonic aircraft.

"NASA’s OSIRIS-APEX spacecraft successfully completed its closest solar pass, protected by innovative engineering solutions and showing improvements in onboard instruments. Credit: NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center/CI Lab" (ScitechDaily, Innovative Engineering Shields NASA’s OSIRIS-APEX During Close Encounter With the Sun) The OSIRIS-APEX probe travels close to the sun. The mission plan is to research the sun. And especially find things that can warn about solar storms. Solar storms are things that can danger satellites at the Earth orbiter. And the purpose of OSIRIS-APEX is to find the method of how to predict those solar storms. Another thing is that the OSIRIS-APEX tests the systems and materials that protect this probe against heat and plasma impacts.  The same technology. The researchers created for OSIRIS-APEX can used in the materials and structures. That protects satellites against nuclear explosions. That means this kind of system delivers information on how to prot
