Причина, по которой американские реактивные двигатели уже полвека занимают лидирующие позиции в мире, заключается вовсе не в каких-то гениальных секретах конструкции. Дело в том, что почти никто другой просто не способен их производить.
Многие думают, что самое сложное в создании реактивного двигателя, это его конструкция и чертежи. Но это не так. Можно передать кому угодно полный комплект технической документации, и человек всё равно не сможет изготовить даже одну работающую турбинную лопатку.
Вот вам представление о масштабах технологии: одна турбинная лопатка размером примерно с ладонь может стоить столько же, сколько совершенно новый Audi. В самых передовых военных и высокотехнологичных двигателях цена одной лопатки может достигать стоимости BMW 5-й серии.
Но самое удивительное заключается в другом: эти лопатки не являются цельными металлическими деталями. Внутри каждой из них находится сложнейшая трёхмерная сеть охлаждающих каналов, по своей сложности превосходящая кровеносную систему человека.
По этим внутренним каналам циркулирует охлаждающая жидкость, которая выходит наружу через сотни микроскопических отверстий, каждое из которых тоньше человеческого волоса. В результате на поверхности лопатки образуется невидимая газовая плёнка, защищающая металл от воздействия пламени с температурой в несколько тысяч градусов. И это только система охлаждения.
Сам материал представляет собой ещё одно технологическое препятствие, которое практически никому не удаётся преодолеть. При таких температурах обычный металл просто расплавился бы.
Лопатки передовых реактивных двигателей изготавливают из никелевых жаропрочных суперсплавов с монокристаллической структурой. Это означает, что вся лопатка представляет собой единый непрерывный кристалл без границ между зёрнами и, соответственно, без слабых мест, характерных для обычной металлической структуры.
Лишь немногие страны в мире освоили эту технологию литья. Но даже после отливки работа ещё далека от завершения. Каждую лопатку отдельно взвешивают и покрывают специальным защитным слоем ещё до того, как она покинет завод.
При сборке инженерам приходится учитывать разницу в массе отдельных деталей, измеряемую микрограммами. Причина проста: такие двигатели вращаются со скоростью в десятки тысяч оборотов в минуту, создавая колоссальные центробежные нагрузки.
Даже отклонение в массе, сопоставимое с весом человеческого волоса, при таких скоростях может привести к разрушению всего двигателя.
После установки лопатки должны выдерживать тысячи часов работы, постоянно подвергаясь экстремальным циклам нагрева и охлаждения, не растрескиваясь и не деформируясь. Здесь нет права на ошибку.
Поэтому главное препятствие в производстве реактивных двигателей заключается вовсе не в чертежах. Оно заключается в составе сплава, технологии получения монокристаллов, геометрии внутренних охлаждающих каналов и точности изготовления, измеряемой микрограммами.
За всем этим стоят десятилетия накопленного промышленного опыта и технологических знаний, которые невозможно просто скопировать или наверстать за короткое время.
P.S. Стоит уточнить: технология монокристаллических лопаток была действительно впервые освоена в США (Pratt & Whitney), однако Великобритания (Rolls-Royce) и Франция (Safran) уже несколько десятилетий самостоятельно владеют полным циклом производства таких лопаток, от собственных сплавов до серийного литья.
Они не зависят от американских поставок в этой области и используют эти технологии в своих двигателях (Trent, LEAP и др.). Клуб стран, способных изготавливать такие лопатки, ограничен, но он не является чисто американским.

Two things we know after Russel conviction
Consensual sex can be declared rape if youre white.
Rape is declared consensual sex if youre Muslim.

Over 60 Muslim men raped Scarlett West from the age of 14.
None have been convicted. Her father stood as Restore Britain’s candidate for Greater Manchester mayor.
There was no national outrage, no wave of arrests, and no accountability.
Russell Brand, by contrast, is facing the full force of the justice system over an allegation involving touching a woman’s breast 15 years ago. If the evidence shows he is a predator, he should be punished.
That is how a functioning system works.
The same system has produced nothing for Scarlett. The men who systematically raped and trafficked her as a child remain free.
This is not an isolated failure. It is a pattern in which certain offenders are pursued relentlessly while others walk amongst us.
Where are the 60 Muslim men who raped a child?
Disgraceful.

🚨 Russell Brand is sitting in a cell tonight over claims from up to 22 years ago.
Look at what actually happened.
He faced 7 charges from six women, dating back as far as 1999.
The jury threw out three of them, including two of the three rape counts.
He denied every single one.
What's left are accounts from 2004 to 2009 that nobody took to police at the time.
How does anyone defend themselves against a night from two decades ago?
Memories fade, witnesses scatter, and texts and records disappear.
It ends up being one person's word against another's, in front of a jury that already knows him as the guy the media spent years tearing apart.
And this started only AFTER Brand left the mainstream, started questioning the establishment, and built a huge independent audience.
Coincidence?
If this can happen to him, it can happen to anyone the system decides it doesn't like.
He deserves a full appeal. 🇺🇸

So Russell Brand now faces spending the rest of his life in prison.
- no DNA
- no forensic evidence
- no video
- NOTHING
Just a few women who came out and was like, ‘Oh shit. Remember that time 20 years ago when Russell Brand raped me!? I’d better go report this.’
The same Russell Brand that:
- Challenged the pharmaceutical industry
- Attacked mainstream media
- Questioned government authority
- Moved toward conservative politics
- Became publicly Christian
I don’t believe this man raped anyone for a second.
This is a SHAM. This is LAWFARE.

So Russell Brand is going to jail for 8-10 years for an alleged rape but there is documented 250,000 little girls at a minimum raped by Muslims in the UK and I haven’t heard a fucking thing about them going to jail.
This is so fucked up.
These are the details of Russell Brand's rape conviction:
- Brand met a fan at one of his gigs in 2009 and invited her backstage
- She had a consensual threesome with him - "used her tongue on his anus" "within moments" of meeting him
- Days later Brand invited her to his house for sex, she agrees
- The Times attacks Brand in 2022 for joining Rumble and becoming a right wing "conspiracy theorist"
- The Times and Channel 4 colaborate for a big documentary expose in 2023
- Times says it had the allegations since 2019 but waited until his political shift to release them for some reason
- Complainants for his criminal case all come forward after the doc drops, some contacted and encouraged by journalists
- Jury concludes the woman 17 years ago consented to everything except anal sex, at which point she was raped
- Rape charge is bundled with other sexual assault charges, including him grabbing a woman's breasts (which jury concluded was forced) who then gave him oral sex (which jury found was not forced)
Brand now faces anything from 8 to 15 years in jail.

So using the Russell Brand case as precedent, any woman can wait 20+ years and then go to police and say the sex she had on a particular night all those years ago wasn't consensual so the guy is then guilty. We're living in the twilight zone.

Then there were two.
Skipper #TobyNankervis & defender #NickVlastuin, the last remaining from our drought breaking Premiership team.
Nank enters season 13 & should play his 200th game. Tigga starts season 15 & is closing in on 300 games.
Appreciate these Champs whilst we can.👏🐯

A Pakistani boy once told the Muslim Women's Network that his community "shares" girls:
“My mate called me and said ‘Bro I have a surprise for you, come over to this house.’ When I got there 15 of them were sitting in the living room. My mate told me to go upstairs for my surprise.
"When I went into the bedroom, another friend was doing this girl. The lads went up one by one and took turns and while they were waiting they were calling their mates, cousins and uncles to come over and join in and showing off.
"Others turned up too including two older men who were taxi drivers, who went straight upstairs. One older man said I am going to call my son over so he can practice on her and later his 15-year-old son arrived in his uniform.
"Everyone took turns and it took 6 hours. I did get concerned and said, ‘the girl is going to get broke, who will marry her?” The girl is not paid but she gets looked after, she is given food and the boys make sure she gets home safely if it gets late.
"There are set days Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays but some of my friends don’t like doing stuff like that on a Friday because it is Juma (holy day) and they go mosque.”
Pimping a girl out to your cousins and children is the norm in Pakistani communities in Britain.
You do not understand these people. We cannot share a country with them. They all have to go.

In Paris right now the army is deployed with weapons in hand to defend churches. And we all know why. No Christian would ever attack a church.
