Jaguar Cars Ltd., better known simply as Jaguar is a British luxury car manufacturer, headquartered in Coventry, England. It has been a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Indian company Tata Motors Ltd. since March 2008 and is operated as part of the Jaguar Land Rover business.

Jaguar was founded as the Swallow Sidecar Company by Sir William Lyons in 1922, originally making motorcycle sidecars before switching to passenger cars. The name was changed to Jaguar after World War II due to the unfavourable connotations of the SS initials.

The Jaguar XK120 is a sports car which was manufactured by Jaguar between 1948 and 1954. Jaguar's first post-war sports car, it succeeded the SS 100, which ceased production in 1940.

The XK120 was launched in roadster form at the 1948 London Motor Show as a testbed and show car for the new Jaguar XK engine. It caused a sensation, which persuaded William Lyons to put it into production.

The "120" in its name referred to its 120 mph (193 km/h) top speed (faster with the windscreen removed), which made the XK120 the world's fastest standard production car at the time of its launch.[3].

It was available in two convertible versions — first as the roadster (designated OTS, for open two-seater, in America), then also as a drophead coupé, or DHC, from 1953 — and as a closed, or "fixed-head" coupé (FHC) from 1951. The DHC was a more deluxe model, featuring a beautiful wood dashboard and wood features on the door interiors.

The roadster version was successful in racing.

The first 242 cars, all roadsters hand-built between late 1948 and early 1950, had aluminium bodies on ash frames. To meet demand it was necessary for the mass-production versions, beginning with the 1950 model year, to have pressed-steel bodies. They retained aluminium doors, bonnet, and boot lid.

With alloy cylinder head and twin side draft SU carburetors, the dual overhead-cam 3.4 L straight-6 XK engine was comparatively advanced for a mass-produced unit of the time. With standard 8:1 compression ratio it developed 160 bhp (119 kW). [2] A 7:1 low compression version was also available to cope with low quality fuel. This same basic design of the XK engine, later modified into 3.8L and 4.2L versions, survived into the late 1980s.

All XK120s had independent torsion bar front suspension, semi-elliptic leaf springs at the rear, recirculating-ball steering, telescopically adjustable steering column, and all-round drum brakes that were prone to fade. Some cars were fitted with Alfin brake drums to help overcome this brake fade.

The roadster's lightweight canvas top and detachable sidescreens stowed out of sight behind the seats, and its barchetta-style doors had no external handles; instead there was an interior pull-cord which was accessible through a flap in the sidescreens when the weather equipment was in place. The windscreen could be removed for aeroscreens to be fitted.

The drophead coupé had a padded canvas top, which folded onto the rear deck behind the seats when not in use, and roll-up windows. The windscreen was fixed. Dashboards and door caps in both the FHC and DHC were wood-veneered, whereas the roadster's were leather-trimmed. All models had removable spats ("fender skirts" in America) covering the rear wheel arches, which enhanced the streamlined look. On cars fitted with optional centre-lock wire wheels (available from 1951), the spats were omitted as they gave insufficient clearance for the two-eared Rudge-Whitworth knockoff hubs.

In addition to wire wheels, upgrades on the Special Equipment, or SE, version (called the M version in the United States) included increased power, stiffer suspension and dual exhaust system.

Capt. Catercia ?Cat? Isaac, conducts an on-site visit inside the Mark-1 space chamber on Oct. 5, 2009. Capt. Issac is a physicist with; and flight commander of the 718 Test Squadron at Arnold Air Force Base, Tenn. The Mark 1 Test Facility is a state-of-the-art space environment simulation test chamber for full-scale space systems testing. The thermal chamber is completely lined with a liquid nitrogen shroud that can provide thermal conditions down to 77 degrees Kelvin. With a working interior diameter of 36 feet and at 70-feet tall large objects can be installed and small objects can use the height to experience Zero-g states for two seconds. Inside the upright vessel is a support structure that weighs in at 200,000 pounds and is 12-square feet of seismic mass provides vibration isolated of test articles. The facility has mechanical roughing pumps, turbo molecular and cryogenic high vacuum pumps, all with cryogenic traps. Solar (day/night) simulations with infrared lamp arrays are available for thermal cycling. A $1.5 million dollar upgrade in fiscal year 2000 replaced existing oil diffusion pumps with a complete dry pumping system, cleaned the interior of the chamber and refinished the surface the (LN2) thermal shroud. A new Hewlett Packard 3852, with 1,500 channels of data capability, replaced the previous Micro-Vax data system. These upgrades, combined with the shear size of the facility, at 42-foot-diameter by 82-foot, postures AEDC for future testing of full-scale satellites and other space systems requiring a contamination-free test environment. The Government is interested in obtaining information concerning a Space Threat Assessment Testbed (STAT). The STAT is a testbed facility that will be used to test space system survivability against natural, environmental, and man-made effects. STAT will provide connectivity to a Satellite Operation Center (SOC) for systems under test in order to train space operators to recognize threats and aid in the development of tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) to mitigate the effects of those threats. STAT will include space chambers with realistic natural space environmental conditions, as well as integrated representative threat sources. STAT Spiral 1 is currently developing the technology to integrate and control the various environmental sources and build a capability to test subsystem size components and microsats. STAT Spiral 2 will scale up the STAT Spiral 1 capability to accommodate an entire satellite or a full-scale mockup with the key subsystems installed. This program includes efforts to design, develop, procure, and install modifications to the existing Mark 1 space chamber in order to create STAT Spiral 2. (U.S. Air Force photo/Lance Cheung)

 

A large Fibre-glass concept vehicle that was never shown to the public but served as a testbed for Ford Engineers to try out new ideas. These included air-conditioning through a perforated headlining and the rear fenders (wings) that housed the spare tyre on one side and the fuel tank on the other. Rear electric windows were also a first.

Low speed turn off take-off. Airbus testbed A321neo at Toulouse.

This picture, taken through the fence at the Museum of Flight in Seattle in 2014, shows off a number of aircraft undergoing finishing touches, upgrades, or temporarily in storage.

 

The Boeing 757 in the foreground is a flying testbed for the F-22 Raptor, and carries a wing above the cockpit that roughly approximates the F-22's wing layout; hidden behind the structures at the front of the fuselage is the extended nose, which is essentially a Raptor nose grafted onto the nose. Not only does it make the aircraft distinct, this is also the prototype 757. More than likely, it will end up at the Museum of Flight at some point in the future.

 

In the background are two E-3Cs; the first one is LX-N90459, an AWACS assigned to the NATO Airborne Early Warning unit based at Geilenkirchen, Germany. Because the NATO E-3s are flown by mixed crews, they are registered to Luxembourg and represent Luxembourg's entire air force! The other E-3 is a USAF example, likely assigned to the 552nd ACW at Tinker AFB, Oklahoma.

 

Rounding out the picture is a single P-8I Poseidon, destined for the Indian Navy's 312 Squadron, based at Rajali. I got a better picture of one of her sisters, elsewhere in my photostream.

 

Because of the position of the hills in the distance, I unfortunately didn't get Mount Rainier in this shot, as it was "out" that day.

Northrop Grumman Electronic Systems - North American NA-265-40 Sabreliner - N168W (c/n 282-33)

 

It was a bonus catching this rare aircraft coming in to BWI. This is a Sabreliner specially modified to act as a radar testbed for the F-16 for Northrop Grumman. The "W" at the end of the registration denotes the aircraft's Westinghouse heritage (Northrop Grumman acquired Westinghouse's radar business in 1996).

 

More than likely N168W is carrying the newest Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) fighter sensor, the Scalable Agile Beam Radar (SABR) an upgrade for AN/APG-66 and AN/APG-88 radars currently used by American and export F-16s . Someone at Northrop Grumman must have recognized the humor in a Sabreliner equipped with SABR radar.

 

It is worth nothing, that N168W's Sabreliner stablemate, Northrop Grumman's N160W, landed at BWI approximately 20 minutes earlier sporting an unusual small pod (possibly a Lüneburg lens?) mounted underneath the aircraft's centerline presumably related to the testing of SABR. Photos of N160W are also in this set.

I created these illustrations for a video that promotes Philadelphia as the perfect testbed for the google high speed fiber initiative. The video will go live on Friday, but I thought I'd get them up ahead of time. To find out more about the public-private partnership in Philly to promote the City of Firsts as a site for this project, please visit gigabitphilly.com And if you have ideas for how Philly could use an ultra high bandwidth data network that connects individuals, industry, and government, please submit your ideas here. You can also show your support by coming to the press conference with Philadelphia Mayor tomorrow (Thursday, March 25) at 2:30 at City Hall on the 2nd floor. A high speed data network in Philly has the potential to accelerate our medical, film production, university, technology, financial services, and community sectors by letting people share massive amounts of data rapidly---that means rich interactivity, problem solving, and communication.

The Douglas B-23 Dragon are found in the Fantasy of Flights Golden Hill Storage facility located in Polk City Florida U.S.A.

 

While significantly faster and better armed than the B-18, the B-23 was not comparable to newer medium bombers like the North American B-25 Mitchell and Martin B-26 Marauder. For this reason, the 38 B-23s built were never used in combat overseas, although for a brief period, they were employed as patrol aircraft stationed on the west coast of the United States. The B-23s were primarily relegated to training duties although 18 of the type were converted as transports and redesignated as the UC-67. The B-23 also served as a testbed for new engines and systems.

The USAAF began research into a jet bomber as early as 1943, issuing a specification for an all-jet bomber that could fly at 550 mph at 45,000 feet with a range of 3500 miles. Boeing, Consolidated, North American and Martin all submitted proposals, all with conventional straight wings and wing-mounted jets. Boeing’s proposal had six engines in the forward fuselage to lower drag, which the USAAF rejected as a fire hazard. Work stalled on the project until after the war ended in Europe and American engineers discovered German research into swept wings. This solved a myriad of problems, and Boeing was able to move the engines into pods beneath the wing, with four of the engines in two pylon-mounted pods and the other two slung under the wingtips. The USAAF accepted this design as the XB-47.

 

The first XB-47 Stratojet was flown in December 1947, and was so revolutionary that test pilots were apprehensive about flying it. The wing was very thin to reduce drag, and would flex as much as five feet up and down; because of the thinness of the wing, the landing gear was mounted in tandem in the aircraft, in a position that the XB-47 would be at the right angle for takeoff while sitting still. It was also fast, exceeding the original specification by 50 mph. In early test flights, the XB-47 regularly outran chase aircraft.

 

If anything, the Stratojet was too fast: it had such a high landing speed that Boeing had to attach a dragchute, and more or less invent anti-lock brakes to slow it down. In contrast, it was sluggish if attempting a fully-loaded takeoff, and eventually (in the B-47E), water injection was added along with provision for Jet-Assisted Take Off (JATO) rocket bottles to get it into the air more efficiently. Once in the air, however, the B-47 flew magnificently, and its speed was such that it only had twin 20mm cannon in the tail for defense.

 

Though it did not have the bombload of the earlier B-36 Peacemaker and its successor, the B-52 Stratofortress, the B-47 bridged the gap between the two. To compensate for lesser range (mitigated by aerial refueling), B-47s were based in a ring around the Soviet Union, from freezing Thule AB in Greenland to sweltering Sidi Slimane in Morocco. As Soviet defenses became more potent, the B-47 force was switched from high-level bombing to low-level penetration, using the Stratojet’s speed to dash to the target, snap upwards into a climb, and literally toss a nuclear bomb onto its target; besides giving defenses less time to react, it also bought time for the B-47 to escape the nuclear shockwave. It also shortened the lifespan of the Stratojet force, leading to an extensive refit program in 1958 to repair the damage done to wing spars and airframes.

 

By the early 1960s, the stress of low-level flight and newer designs, as well as improvements in missile design, had rendered the B-47 largely obsolete. The last bomber B-47Es were retired by 1965, followed by the RB-47H and EB-47L by 1969. Only a handful of test aircraft remained until the type’s final grounding in 1977. Of 2032 B-47s built, only 32 survive today in museums.

 

53-2280, a B-47E, was never assigned to a frontline unit. Delivered in 1955, it went straight to the Air Force Flight Test Center at Edwards AFB, California as a testbed. It remained there until 1967, when it was transferred to Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio, to serve in the same role with Air Force Systems Command; as a JB-47E, it was the first aircraft outfitted with a "fly-by-wire" microprocessor system. One of the last B-47s left flying, it was retired in 1973 and donated to the National Museum of the USAF. (I probably saw this aircraft when my family visited the museum in 1977.) In 2003, it was declared surplus, as the NMUSAF also had a RB-47H on display, and it was placed in storage until 2013, when it was donated to the National Museum of Nuclear Science and History in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

 

This was unfortunately as close as I could get to 53-2280, as the museum was closed at the time due to the 2020 coronavirus pandemic. It is painted as an operational B-47, with bare metal uppersurfaces and antiflash white undersurfaces (though even as a testbed, 53-2280 likely wore these colors). A SAC stripe is carried on the nose. EDIT: The museum was finally open in 2021, allowing me to get a better picture.

iCub is a 1 metre high humanoid robot testbed for research into human cognition and artificial intelligence.

It was designed by the RobotCub Consortium of several European universities and built by Italian Institute of Technology, and is now supported by other projects such as ITALK.[1] The robot is open-source, with the hardware design, software and documentation all released under the GPL license. The name is a partial acronym, cub standing for Cognitive Universal Body. Initial funding for the project was €8.5 million from Unit E5 – Cognitive Systems and Robotics – of the European Commission's Seventh Framework Programme, and this ran for sixtyfive months from 1 September 2004 until 31 January 2010.

Because land-only measurements may not provide an entirely accurate representation of surface-to-air interactions in the tropics, the Nauru99 campaign was designed to capture land-, ocean- and air-based measurements via a number of research components.

 

In addition to the instrumented cloud and radiation testbed site on Nauru through DOE's Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) user facility, data were gathered from ocean locations through the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) research ship, the Ron Brown.

 

Conducted from June to July 1999, Nauru99 was a field project whose purpose was to calibrate ARM's long-term climate monitoring station on the island of Nauru. Measurements recorded from the Japan Marine Science and Technology Center’s (JAMSTEC) Mirai and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) Ron Brown helped determine how representative the island measurements were of the surrounding ocean.
