The Waco CG-4 was the most widely used American troop/cargo military glider of World War II. It was designated the CG-4A by the United States Army Air Forces, [1] and given the service name Hadrian (after the Roman emperor) by the British. The glider was designed by the Waco Aircraft Company. Flight testing began in May 1942.
11 September 1943. Number built. 1x 1/2 scale MC-1, 1x MC-1, 1x XCG-16. The XCG-16 was a military transport/assault glider ordered by the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF), from General Airborne Transport Co., for competition against the Waco CG-13 A at Wright Field. The XCG-16’s preferred tow aircraft was the Lockheed Model 18 Lodestar.

Charge transport mechanisms are theoretical models that aim to quantitatively describe the electric current flow through a given medium. Theory [ edit ] Crystalline solids and molecular solids are two opposite extreme cases of materials that exhibit substantially different transport mechanisms.

In 3D computer graphics, ray tracing is a technique for modeling light transport for use in a wide variety of rendering algorithms for generating digital images . On a spectrum of computational cost and visual fidelity, ray tracing-based rendering techniques, such as ray casting, recursive ray tracing, distribution ray tracing, photon mapping ...
The Ticonderoga class of guided-missile cruisers is a class of warships of the United States Navy, first ordered and authorized in the 1978 fiscal year. It was originally planned as a class of destroyers. However, the increased combat capability offered by the Aegis Combat System and the passive phased array AN/SPY-1 radar, together with the ...
