Old Aircraft And Electronics Manufacturer’s Logos

Hey All you Fervent Fallout Followers, You know what time it is: time for another Fallout Update! This round we’ve taken in that dilapidated Cherry topper seen around the Mojave Desert. Two Variations exist, the Nevada Highway Patrol and California Highway Patrol. The old bubblegum machine resembles a cross between the Packard Caribbean and a Packard Clipper- with a few extra add-ons. The engine has been moved to the rear (Replacing the Continental Kit) and utilizes an atom powered turbine. This looks like an open circuit turbine, releasing the radioactive sediments in the stream behind, unlike the Corvega which has a closed circuit. The open circuit, although more dangerous, is much lighter which can utilize faster speeds to catch the capers red handed! This paddy wagon also has the air inlet as a scoop on the hood of the vehicle, routing it to the turbine in the rear to get more air flow. Well, there you have it, the end to another Fallout update, With more updates rolling as the information flows in!

Virgil Exner actually explains in his 1957 report “Styling and Aerodynamics” the aerodynamic benefit of Fins on an automobile.

I’m so excited, I’ve always been told that fins were a useless part of styling, but a report (along with wind tunnel testing) shows otherwise! With all of the focus on the aerodynamics of cars today, why aren’t car manufacturers implementing fins? (Making a sad, bland car look less dull by putting a tasteful amount of fins would be great!)

Danger Ahead (Dragnet Theme)

Ladies and Gentlemen: the Tune you are about to hear is good, only the midsection has been changed to protect the innocent.

So this is how new planes are made!

But something does ring true in this film, when the older plane says he just ‘fades away,’ it’s true, a lot of military aircraft (especially the larger ones) are only seen for the period they are manufactured, and then scrapped or recycled after they are found to be obsolete. Like the B-36 bomber, it was the largest piston driven aircraft with 385 built, and now there are 4 left, none airworthy.
