Wind tunnels are large tubes with air blowing through them. The tunnels are used to replicate the actions of an object flying through the air or moving along the ground. Researchers use wind tunnels to learn more about how an aircraft will fly. NASA uses wind tunnels to test scale models of aircraft and spacecraft. Some wind tunnels are large enough to contain full-size versions of vehicles. The wind tunnel moves air around an object, making it seem as if the object is really flying.
"Blueprint of Spacecraft, giving by the Origaliens. We are told that they are resting now, recharging their battery. "
Happy weekend everyone ;-))
I folded this tessellation "Spacecraft "with a bigger hexagon 43cm (grid 1:64", "Anett paper" ) and using the same basics as in 'Dance'. Then altering this one in really 3D.
If you are interested to see more, have a look at my tessellation album Origami - Tessellation Progression".
"We proudly present you a photo of the "SpaceCraft", which is approaching Earth too.
On the left you can see where one of the spaceships must land, when it returns home.
The aliens are looking forwards to meet and greet us, they mean no harm and come in peace. From an anonymous, but trustworthy source. "

The backside, which I call "MoToR" looks different too.

Крылатый космический аппарат БОР-4 (беспилотный орбитальный ракетоплан) предназначался для отработки в условиях реального космического полета теплозащиты будущего орбитального корабля «Буран». Носовая часть аппарата повторяла обводы носовой части будущего «Бурана». Общий вид аппарата БОР-4 представлял собой уменьшенный в два раза советский орбитальный самолет, создававшийся по программе «Спираль» в 70-е годы. Тогда этот проект осуществлен не был, но в рамках его реализации проводились короткие суборбитальные испытательные полеты уменьшенных аппаратов БОР-1, БОР-2 и БОР-3.
БОР-4 имел небольшие размеры: длину около 4 м и вес менее 1,5 т — почти как автомобиль. Двигатели, топливо, бортовая ЭВМ, системы автоматики и навигации — вот все, что удалось разместить в его фюзеляже. Чтобы при посадке не повредить испытываемые образцы теплозащиты, было принято решение сажать БОР-4 на воду. Небольшого парашюта для мягкого приводнения было достаточно...................................The BOR-4 cruise spacecraft (an unmanned orbital rocket plane) was intended for testing the thermal protection of the future Buran orbiter in real space flight conditions. The nose of the device repeated the contours of the nose of the future "Buran". The general appearance of the BOR-4 apparatus was a Soviet orbital aircraft reduced by half, created under the Spiral program in the 70s. At that time, this project was not implemented, but as part of its implementation, short suborbital test flights of the reduced BOR-1, BOR-2 and BOR-3 spacecraft were carried out.
The BOR-4 was small in size: about 4 m long and weighing less than 1.5 tons — almost like a car. Engines, fuel, on—board computer, automation and navigation systems - that's all that could be placed in its fuselage. In order not to damage the tested thermal protection samples during landing, it was decided to plant BORON-4 on water. A small parachute for a soft landing was enough.

Yes, of course, it's a Martian Spacecraft. We're being invaded again ;)
That's the thought that ran through my head looking at this image. What it is, if you haven't guessed, is a water drop on top of an unopened fireweed flower. I just love the look! And thanks for taking a look!
Taken 21 July 2022 at the Wynn Nature Center, Homer, Alaska.
Some modern office building remind more of a grounded spacecraft than a piece of architecture. This is a building close to London Bridge, with lots of mirroring glass and steel frames. It was a bright but cloudy day, showing very nice reflections and high contrast between the light and darker parts of the building's surface.

Do you think this looks like a UFO?

There I was taking photos of trees and similar shots when all of a sudden a ship came down from above - a space ship that is and these two made their presence known !! Fear not , they said they come in peace - well that's what they said anyway !!
so wird es aussehen, wenn ein solches Vehikel über dir landet um dich aufzunehmen ... ;-) ...

Sunsets and clouds can get pretty dramatic in the high desert. This photo was taken in 29 Palms, CA, looking west towards Joshua Tree and Yucca Valley. The clouds reminded me of alien spacecrafts. Ya, I know, perhaps out in the sun a little too long!!

Brickworld Chicago 2025 is only a few days away now... I've had quite a bit of "builder's burnout", but in March I finally started building again. I will have a table of all new things to display (including an 8-baseplate layout 😮)...
This is one of my smaller builds that I named the "Guppy".
iss064e004546 (Nov. 17, 2020) --- The SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft is pictured approaching the International Space Station for a docking. The Crew Dragon, with astronauts Michael Hopkins, Victor Glover, Shannon Walker and Soichi Noguchi aboard, would dock to the Harmony module's forward port shortly afterward.
As you all know and see my photographing skills are mwoa, so Legonardo Davidy offered me to do a new( and of course a better :D) shot of the fighter which I had sent to him through the STG round 5 " the Neophyters" . Needless to say that it looks way better then my pictures :) Enjoy it and a big shout out to Legonardo Davidy for doing this.
Again I am suprised by the people of the online Legocommunity, nothing seems to much to do for a fellow enthusiast :D, you all rock guys & dolls :)
Cheers Henry
