May 27: Creating the highest temperature of 510 million degrees Celsius in the laboratory
In 1994, scientists succeeded in producing a plasma of the highest temperature, up to 510 million degrees Celsius by the Tokamak Fusion reactor.
May 27, 1994: The creation of plasma rays with the highest temperature of 510 million degrees Celsius
In 1994, scientists succeeded in producing the highest temperature plasma, up to 510 million degrees Celsius by the Tokamak Fusion reactor (TFTR), at the University's Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory. Princeton.
Previously, with this Tokamak reactor, scientists created a record temperature of 100 million degrees Celsius. TFTRs are the first devices in the world to be used to test confinement and heating of rays. Plasma , in the process of fusion deuterium and tritium. Today scientists are still studying this process for applications in fusion power plants.
May 27, 1931: The first wind tunnel was built
In 1931, the most complete wind tunnel was first built at Langley Field Research Center, USA. This is the first wind tunnel that can be used to test large aircraft, with wind speeds of up to 185 km / h.
The air flow is controlled by two 10-meter-diameter propellers, powered by an electric motor of 4,000 horsepower. The testing of wind tunnel aircraft is essential, allowing designers to see the points that need to be modified to get the best dynamics for each aircraft design. By 1936, NASA built a wind tunnel with an air flow rate of nearly 1,000 km / h.
May 27, 1958: F-4 Phantom II fighter performs the first flight
F-4 Phantom II is an all-weather, two-seater super-long-range fighter-bomber designed by McDonnell Douglas first for the US Navy. Phantom flew the first flight on May 27, 1958, piloted by pilot Robert C. Little. A technical problem with the hydraulic system made it impossible to recoup the response, but the following flights were smoother.
To show off its new fighter, the US Navy carried out a series of record-breaking flights in the early stages of developing the Phantom II. In total, Phantom recorded 16 world records, including flight speed, altitude, range, active time .
