You have to see the traffic here to believe it, the chaotic from all angles in all forms of transport approaching mele. You stop wincing every few seconds after a while simply because it is pointless to hope it will improve. This also captures the dichotmy that exists in India's society. Those with basic or outdated transport and those with shiny new SUV's and cars.

Further testing on the passive steering prototypes to see how they might behave as part of a larger train.
If you want to download the .lxf file for the working parts of the chassis including the optional passive steering link you can do so by clicking the link below.

Notes on the download:
Due to some issue with LEGO Digital Designer the centre axle in the passive steering link is not the correct length. It should be 7 studs long not 6 studs as shown in the file.
If using the steering link take a few moments to adjust the length of the link so that both axles centre correctly.
The floating 1x2 plates are the axle deflection stops which prevent excessive movement. These will need to be attached to the underside of whatever chassis you wish to build.

In 1989 a two-year study began regarding possible mid-life upgrades for the USAF's and European Partner Air Forces' (EPAF's) F-16A/Bs. The resulting F-16 Mid-Life Update (MLU) package was designed to upgrade the cockpit and avionics to the equivalent of that on the F-16C/D Block 50/52; add the ability to employ radar-guided air-to-air missiles; and to generally enhance the operational performance and improve the reliability, supportability and maintainability of the aircraft. Aircraft receiving this set of updates are designated F-16AM or F-16BM.
Development began in May 1991 and continued until 1997; however, the USAF withdrew from the MLU program in 1992, although it did procure the modular mission computer for its Block 50/52 aircraft.
The first of five prototype conversions flew on 28 April 1995, and installation of production kits began in January 1997. The original plans called for the production of 553 kits (110 for Belgium, 63 for Denmark, 172 for the Netherlands, 57 for Norway, and 130 for the USAF), however, final orders amounted to only 325 kits (72 for Belgium, 61 for Denmark, 136 for the Netherlands, and 56 for Norway). The EPAFs redesignated the F-16A/B aircraft receiving the MLU as F-16AM/BM, respectively. Portugal later joined the program and the first of 20 aircraft was redelivered on 26 June 2003, with another 20 going through the update incountry at this time. In recent years, Chile, Jordan, and Pakistan have purchased surplus Dutch and Belgian F-16AM/BM for their air forces.
Development of new software and hardware modifications continues under the MLU program. The M3 software tape was installed in parallel with the Falcon STAR structural upgrade to bring the F-16AM/BM up to the standards of the USAF's Common Configuration Implementation Program (CCIP). A total of 296 M3 kits (72 for Belgium, 59 for Denmark, 57 for Norway, and 108 for the Netherlands) were ordered for delivery from 2002–2007; installation is anticipated to be completed in 2010. A M4 tape has also been developed that adds the ability to use additional weapons and the Pantera targeting pod; Norway began conducting flying combat operations in Afghanistan with these upgraded aircraft in 2008. A M5 tape is in development that will enable employment of a wider array of the latest smart weapons, and the first aircraft upgraded with it are due to be delivered in 2009.

Part of a series attempting to depict artistically and aesthetically the different fields of physics. Trying to be scientifically accurate but not constrained to textbook figures or lists of equations. There is a beauty to the subject that is hard to see beyond the boring problems, mathematical tinkering, terminology, that one can get bogged down in. As a student I often found myself scrambling to pass exams and and turn in homework. Only long after I graduated and looked back at the basic equations did I really understand them and how much information they contained and how they so neatly described the world.
2. Fluid Mechanics/Dynamics
This piece attempts to represent one area of fluid mechanics and dynamics, namely the role it has played in aeronautics. The border consists of the Navier-Stokes equations and the equation for thrust. These equations and their use in the design of aircraft is a relatively recent, 20th century discipline...and perhaps not surprisingly working with these monsters is no trivial affair, even today requiring large amounts of computer power to simulate the flow of compressible fluids at high speeds.
These equations have roots in the study of non-turbulent, non-compressible, laminar flow of water through pipes and porous materials. At the slow extreme many of the terms become irrelevant and these equations can be used to model the creeping flow of groundwater through soil. In environmental engineering they are useful to model and determine the extent of chemical contamination in ground water. They also integrate concepts from thermodynamics - relations between the atomic properties of gasses and their state properties - temperature, pressure volume, and number of molecules. Thermodynamic effects are significant in the extreme environments inside jet and rocket engines and in high speed slipstreams. Finally the equations themselves are complex formulations of newtons laws of motions, conservation of energy, and continuity of mass.
Artistically I have tried to pay homage to the aeronautics aspect of fluid mechanics/dynamics. Ground water flow is not nearly as sexy as rockets. In America so much early rocket research was done in White Sands NM and Edwards AFB in CA and other desert locales. The deserts are idea for their large amounts of uninhabited land, clear atmosphere, and relative isolation. The slippery smooth rockets stand reflecting in rippling liquid, conjuring the many shapes and forms they have taken through the years - from the serious to sci-fi. Of course no discussion of fluids would be complete without mentioning one of the most technically complex and politically contentious issues the atmosphere. The sky is an universal object of admiration - flowing, churning, glowing, crystal clear, oppressive, fluffy etc.... And the interaction between aeronautics and atmosphere have allowed humanity to escape from the atmosphere and explore far beyond.
