P-51 Mustang

know much about the P-51 Mustang but i do know a little bit. For a first I know that the P-51 mustang came into play during WW2. The P-51 Mustang was a very popular design of aircraft for the U.S.. this design was good because it was very fast and aerodynamic. the Mustang assisted in bombing runs to help get the bombers to the spot at least halfway intact. that's why the P-51 mustang was a superior aircraft I want to learn more about the P-51 mustang because i like aircraft a lot. ever since i was little i had a very strong want for airplanes. also i have always wanted to be in the military. so with both of them combined it made me want to learn more about military aircraft as well as something that was from a past time. that is…

scrambling to be faster, stronger, more maneuverable, and harder-hitting than the other guy. Because of this America developed many different airplanes with varying success each time. Two of the more well known ones were the P-51 Mustang and the P-38 Lightning. These planes bore almost no similarities outwardly, with the Lightning being much larger and…

soldiers. Once they get there with the Private, they are told of a German brigade heading their way so they must hold down the town they are in and fend off the Germans until help could arrive. “We’ll hold this area up as long as we possibly can...and then, if we have to, we blow the bridge and keep them and their vehicles on the other side” (Spielberg DVD). The Captain tells the rest of the squad that they had already arrived at the point of no return so to fight with all they have to keep the…

Cesar Laboy Mr. Berardelli, p. 3 Honors American Cultures 11, 6.0 3 December, 2014 Title Although Henry Ford did not invent the automobile, he made it a common thing to have one. By using a method of mass production, he found it easy to produce automobiles at a faster rate for a low cost. A large percentage of parts on his cars were standardized, making production more efficient. As a result, the infamous Model T was born and well known. Americans all over the country began to buy these cars…

I believe that the american muscle cars are better then tuners/supercars/imports. Are muscle cars are louder, heavier and meaner than any other cars i know of. Super cars are built for speed and precision but muscle cars make them sound like lawn mowers. They are very aerodynamic and the muscle cars are lean heavy and built to take a hit. If you were to wreck a ferrari or lamborghini they would smash and cost you thousands maybe millions. Plus you can't really work on it yourself you have to…

If there’s a listing of the most popular sports car in America, then there’s a big chance that the Chevrolet Camaro will lead that list. Sure, you have the likes of Corvette, Mustang and the Challenger, but there’s no denying the playful appeal of the Chevy Camaro that transcends age and class. Did you know that the Camaro has the most number of fans on Facebook with more than 1.8 million fans? In terms of sales, the Camaro has consistently topped the list for years. Even if the Camaro starts at…

Climbing into the cockpit of Shelby American's 50th Anniversary Daytona Coupe is very much like like going back in time. only it's a bit more comfortable. Only, this time it’s a bit more comfortable. The steering wheel has a fat leather rim metal spokes and a metal badge at its center. The dashboard looks like a '60s-era science project with plainly labeled knobs and switches set into a flat black surface. The only clues that this is a modern vehicle and not a 1965 race car are the switches for…

with, “A small, vicious little animal that eats Mustangs”. For us to completely understand the design and meaning of the Camaro, we must take a look at the Ford Mustang and find out where and why it began. After the second World War, the generation that followed, known today as “baby boomers”, wanted to be different from the beginning of their existence. They dressed different, acted different, and also thought different from their parents. Ford Motor Company researched how this newer…

Most importantly, General motors started experimenting with electric cars. However, they never came onto the market because GM could not figure out a way to get a lot of miles out of each charge. American made cars as all that people would buy, with an average of 7% of cars being imports on the road between 1960 and 1969. Foreign cars had a reputation for being poorly made and hard to fix because all the parts were overseas. However the largest flaw with foreign cars is that they were not…

This is a class of cars that is just below a muscle car performance wise. A couple of examples would be things similar to the Firebird and the most well know pony car would be the Ford Mustang. Most people think that this is a muscle car. In the mustang cobra jet was a 428ci v8. Helping make that power was a functional hood scoop, ram air induction and larger head valves than most other mustangs. Ford rated it as having 335 horsepower when it truly made around 410. If they labeled them with less…
