T/W ratios may be useful when comparing a chemical rocket engine with another or with an airplane engine with another, but here it’s diesel/electric sub thinking applied to ...

... spacecraft and space missions. Regardless of the facility, the art of systems engineering always requires an experienced systems engineer to guide the team members through the creative process, to mediate disagreement, and ... schematic diagram of Figure 8.4. The amount of steam admitted to the engine is adjusted according to the engine speed through the mechanism that uses centrifugal force. The speed governor is ...

Was that also true in the navy? '''Armstrong:''' The fighter pilots always said ... , and with the highest level of confidence. Quite a different responsibility, yet the skills, the engineering approaches and the equipment available to us was really quite similar. '''Brinkley:''' I'm trying ...

'''Bennett:''' It was 1954, and I stayed ... many different disciplines, and I think scientists tend to work more on their own than engineers. Engineers need to work as a team more. And I’m not being negative to the ...
