Let's Know About : F-35 Lightning II

April 23rd, 2009 admin 1 comment

A masterpiece of technology ? An over-powerful fighter plane? or just a big buzz about a project where approximatively 40 billion dollars have been invested ?

While surfing on the net i read a lot about a new fighter plane that was about to be launched , a plane that is about to revolutionize the world of fighter planes and military hardware .

And as fell in love with that fighter plane once i saw it on movies like Live Free or Die Hard , Superman Returns and Iron Man i decided to talk a bit about it so you could have an idea about the capacity the monster of the blue skies has .

let’s know about :

The Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II more commonly known as the F-35 is a single-seat, single-engine, military strike fighter, a multirole aircraft that can perform close air support, tactical bombing, and air defense missions. in two words, a hunting animal .

The F-35 comes in several models :

- F-35A, conventional takeoff and landing (CTOL) variant.

- F-35B, short-takeoff and vertical-landing (STOVL) variant.

- F-35C, carrier-based CATOBAR (CV) variant.

The F-35 Lightning II is the direct result of the JSF program that was designed to replace the U.S. military’s F-16, A-10, F/A-18 and AV-8B tactical fighter aircraft. To keep development, production, and operating costs down, a common design was planned in three variants that share 80% of their parts.

A dream that the engineers could not achieve, since the costs of the development of this project have made it make it the most expensive military aircraft program in history.

Also one of the most important things about this aircraft is that While the United States is as we all know the primary customer and financial backer, countries like the United Kingdom, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Turkey, Australia, Canada and Denmark have also contributed toward the development costs of this coming from hell plane :D

I know that some of you dear readers would like to know more about the technical specifications of this powerful fighter plane , and this is why i invite you all to visit this website , where you’ll find everything you want about the F-35

Also i invite you all to watch this video that i found on YouTube where you can see the beast in action :D

April 12th, 2009 admin No comments

Human being is from its nature a lazy creature, a creature that i don’t know the reason why , always likes to perform important tasks till the last few minutes of the ultimatum that was set .

And this is exactly what happened to me 3 days from before , when i discovered that i had forgotten to send the important papers that my boss had given me about a month before ,and that had to reach their receiver in one month, which means …… in three days from now :D

You can’t imagine the feeling i had when i realized that :D a mix of fear and incomprehension but once i discovered the services of the company we’re going to talk about today , all those bad and weird feelings disappeared .

What they are doing is actually magical :D imagine , once i sent my papers using their service , it has reached its destination … 24 hours later :D , i know that you may say , it encourages laziness ,but believe me , i don’t care :D papers were sent , my boss is happy , and everything is all right.

And this is why i decided to talk a bit about this wonderful company :

Let’s Know About:

Federal express , (also known as FedEx since 1994 ) is a logistics services company resources , Logistics is the management of the flow of goods, information and other resources ,FedEx was actually founded in 1971 by Frederick W. Smith .

FedEx first fleet consisted of 14 and 33 Dassault Falcon 20 Aircrafts but things have worked so good to this company that it has reached now 677 aircrafts , which is the world’s second most important fleet of aircrafts after American Airlines, FedEx employs now up to 290,000 employees , all those employees have only one goal send your mail, your merchandise, or freight, as soon as possible.
FedEx has many concurrent (UPS,DHL,TNT….) but will they be able to overtake the supremacy of FedEx ?? i don’t think so :) ,simply because their quality of service is world-renowned , and is the result of decades of good and loyal service

yeaaah that’s a FENDER

so now Lets Know About :

Fender Musical Instruments Corporation is a manufacturer of stringed instruments, such as solid-body electric guitars, including the Stratocaster and the Telecaster. The company, was founded in Fullerton, California, by Clarence Leonidas Fender (“Leo” Fender) in 1946. “Leo” Fender also designed one of the first  successful solid-body electric bass, the Precision Bass (P-Bass), which has become known in rock, jazz, country, funk and other types of music..

Fender offered the first mass-produced solid-body Spanish-style electric guitar, the Telecaster (originally named the ‘Broadcaster’; ‘Esquire’ is a single pickup version); the first mass-produced electric bass, the Precision Bass (P-Bass); and popular Telecaster (Tele) guitar, the economically mass produceable offspring of his unique solid body Broadcaster guitar.

While Fender was not the first to manufacture electric guitars, as other companies and luthiers had produced electric guitars since the late 1920s, none was as commercially successful as Fender’s. Furthermore, while nearly all other electric guitars then were either hollow-body guitars or more specialized instruments such as Rickenbacker’s solid-body Hawaiian guitars, Fender had created versatile solid-body electric guitars. These guitars were and still are popular for musicians in a variety of genres.

The company makes acoustic guitars, electric basses, mandolins, banjos, and violins, as well as guitar amplifiers, bass amplifiers, and PA (public address) equipment. Other Fender brands include Squier (entry level/budget), Guild (acoustic and electric guitars and amplifiers), Rodriguez (classical guitars), Benedetto (jazz guitars), SWR (bass amplification), Tacoma, Jackson and Charvel Guitars, X Brand (bass amplifiers) and collaborated with Eddie Van Halen to make the EVH guitars and amplifiers.

Other Fender instruments include the Mustang, Jazzmaster, Jaguar, Starcaster, Duo-sonic, and Bronco guitars; basses such as the Jazz Bass, the ‘Telecaster Bass’ reissue of the original 1950s Precision Bass; a line of lap steels; three models of electric violin, and the Fender Rhodes electric piano.
