Monkeys are very intelligent animals, what can be trained almost any mission, what mankind can imagine.

Have you seen the film named "Link"? In some stories, the CIA has made tests to use monkeys as the soldiers or assassinators.  Monkeys like chimpanzees are very intelligent, and some members of the CIA had the idea to use monkeys in the military operations as the aircraft pilots and even combatants. Those animals can learn complicated things, and maybe some CIA operational leaders thought, that monkeys can also shoot the guns.



The idea of that kind of training came from the space flights, where chimpanzees were used to test the spacecraft. And this was given the idea to Sidney Gottlieb to train monkeys as the aircraft pilots. The idea was based on the observation, that almost every action what is done in the spaceship would happen after some marks. And if the monkeys were trained to push the right button after voice or light signal they could fly the spaceship.

But could they fly the jet fighter? I don't know did those test went farther that simulations, but this is the quite interesting episode in the history of NASA and CIA.  I don't know how realistic those programs were, but the CIA could think, that monkeys would be ideal animals for many missions like stealing important papers and USB sticks. Monkeys are used as those actions by the thieves who have trained them to steal jewelry and expensive watches from the hotel rooms.



There are rumors that also the monkeys like chimpanzees are trained to steal the laptop computers and set the spy cameras in some rooms and another area. The use of animals as the spies is a fascinating thing. Those monkeys can even read, or in this scenario, those animals will be equipped with action cameras and headsets, what will send the images to the central control. The monkey itself turns the pages of the book, and the operators will check the still pictures of that film.And who knows, how far are those research programs gone?

The thought about aerodynamics and jet planes


B-1 Lancer
(USAF)

Kimmo Huosionmaa

This is the writing about the B-1 “Lancer” and some strange thing about the aviation of the United States Air Force. When we are reading the books of the aerodynamics, we always face the mysterious world “side relationship”. This world means that what kind of capacities the airplane has depends on the relationship of the wing area the length and form of the wing and the body of the airplane, and that´s the reason why some airplanes have so-called “sweep wings” what means that the wing of the airplane will turn backwards, when airplane increases the speed.


The “flying wing” formation has the best relationship cargo and operational range. But when we are talking about the aviation, we can make the many size airplanes with same drawings, and if somebody says, that there is needed more powerful engines, we can simply put more turbojets inside that aircraft body, if we want to make the bigger airplane. But when we want to make the smaller airplane, we can just make smaller body and wings, and also change smaller parts for the hydraulic systems.


So the question of the B-1 bomber is that same body and drawings are suitable for the fast tactical aircraft, what is useful for the same missions, what are reserved for F-22 and another tactical airplane. This aircraft can have the same kind of canopy than other tactical aircraft, but the modern ultra-fast airplane does not need the canopy or windows. The pilot can use the virtual reality for making the observations from the space around the plane.


In this scenario, the surface of the aircraft if full of tiny cameras and other sensors, what will give the pilot 360 degrees observation area, and the computer system can zoom the targets what will not give the positive IFF (Identification Friend or Foe) signal. Also, those virtual systems can be given only the information, what the pilot needs. But when the system faces the EMP-system, will those high-tech systems can be removed in seconds if the pilot needs analogical meters. So those virtualization systems can be fitted to the helmet of the pilot, and if the system fails, will the transfer to analogical systems happen only to cut off the electricity from the virtual mask. And the canopy will just change to the lucid form if the electricity of the system will cut.
