The Most Catholic Diarchy of Miklania

Dormill and Stiura wrote:Because Conservatives (and especially Republicans) have no real policy platform to speak of. Just grandstanding to their voters while they rob the people blind.

The only thing Republicans are good at is rallying large voting blocs through their propaganda machine in a system they already rigged. If the US changed anything about how voting works for the better (ending Gerrymandering, automatic voter enrollment, securing voting sites and results), I’m willing to bet the Republicans will be quickly relegated to third party status.

Republicans are no more guilty of any of that than Democrats. They're probably even more guilty of 'propaganda'. Take inner cities. Almost all of them have been run by Democrats for decades. Baltimore had it's last Republican mayor leave office in 1967. The Democrats have since assured everyone that all the city's problems are because of white Republican racists. They've been in power uninterrupted for 50+ years, and had most of the time before that, white flight is rampant, and yet the city is still in decline. Their policies don't work but as long as they keep the myth that all your problems are because of the evil white man and oh by the way here's a bigger handout they stay in power. Same story in Chicago, same story in Detroit, same story in Los Angeles, same story everywhere.

Sir, that is just unfounded slander. I am extremely disappointed.

My letterbox is stuffed with brochures, booklets and other paper stuff presenting all the parties elegible in the elections for the European Parliament that will take place from 23 to 26 May. With the amount of paper wasted on the Greens' (and other parties') explanations on how it is so important to preserve the environment and battle climate change, you can knit an entire new tropical rainforest...

If you want an example, you can look in Baltimore. A man fights with the Police while in custody, ends up in a coma, then dies a week later. The man happens to be black. Everyone in the country screamed racism. It's systematic racism.

In a 63.7% black city controlled by the "not racist" Democrats for 50 years, with an almost all black and 100% Democrat city council, with a female black Democrat Mayor, with 2/3rds of the state House of Delegates being Democrats, at a time when there was a black Democrat President and a black Democrat Attorney General. Three of the six police officers involved were black; they were all acquitted of wrongdoing by a black judge.

The system is racist, apparently.

Tracera

Tracera 1000 A.D- 1500 A.D - Official List of Traceran Historical Events
Argus, the main island of The Western Isles, was home to the first few nations on the coastline of modern day Tracera. They were developing and rarely went to war. However, the age of empires was just beginning, and was to last near a millennium - they could not stay like this for long.

Anarchy and sickness ravages Toors just before its collapse

1000 - There were seven nations inhabiting the coast, Toorna, Halcery, Shahriyna, Dofra, Helsin, Mateman and Insores. These were fairly small nations, and were all absolute monarchists - apart from Shahriyna which was under an Islamic dictatorship. The other six's religions are mainly unknown but historians believe that the northern nations were Catholic while the Southern nations were more Atheist/Judaist. They were extremely isolated from the outside world, there are absolutely no records of contact with other nations at this time.

1053 - First contact with other nations happen, but ends abruptly after valuable iron fields are disputed over.

1082 - First recording of the Hedgehog in Tracera, which is hailed as a spiritual Deus - 22nd of January celebrates the Hedgehog.

1101 - The government begins writing down official dates and events from Sep 3rd to 12th (the real date is unknown).

1142 - First known use of the English language, recorded in the small town of Etra.

1155 - The city of Casil is built, which is said to be the oldest city in modern-day Tracera.

1165 - The Casiac Uprisings take place in the capital of Helsin as people call for extra freedoms of the people, vying mainly for right to divorce, right to vote, and right for fair trial. Knights on horseback crush the rebellions, trampling and murdering over 100 people.

1193 - Under the fear of invasion from nearby growing empires, the states form the Naran Defence Treaty (then called the Protection Pact). Empires from abroad begin mobilising troops striking fear and unnecessary mobilisation of the nations' own forces - only for them to realise that it was a threatening military exercise. The Naran Defence is humiliated and laughed at by neighbours for the over-reaction.

1209 - Shahriyna's dictator, Tekha Al-Bad dies from unknown causes, and is replaced by his 14 year-old son, Devna Al-Bad. His advisers are corrupt and attempt to seize control of the government, only to be brutally executed by the dictator's guards. They are stoned to death for treason.

1214 - Shahriyna's dictatorship collapses under a weakening and deteriorating economy. It is replaced the next year by The Asaphata Caliphate, which breaks away from the Defence Treaty and begins conquering small isolated nearby nations like Eto and Norta, where the most unspeakable atrocities of the time take place. People have limbs cut off in public display, women are mercilessly raped and kept as nude slaves for wealthy land-owners, and people's faces and genitalia are violently mutilated. The atrocities are known as the Satanic Rippings.

1239 - The new Caliphate sends an uncompromising ultimatum and swiftly declares war on the Naran Defence Treaty.
- November The Caliphate captures the capital of Insores while Dofra capitulates

1240-41 - The Caliphate introduces new trebuchet weapon which helps to capitulate the rest of the Defence Treaty, which is swiftly dismantled.

1257 - The Asaphata Caliphate introduces much needed agricultural and social reform. The nation experiences a golden age of economic prosperity and military renovation. Standards of living skyrocket and wealth of each person increases three fold on average.

1303 - The golden age ends as ethnic unrest begins to sprout and flourish especially in the northern regions. Protests begin and smallpox is introduced by merchants.

1305 - Riots begin in the capital of Hedskar, and in major cities like Yeron and the newly created Casil.

1306 - The Casiac Massacre takes place, where a gathering of 43,000 people protesting were assaulted by three divisions of cavalry. 78 people are killed and 540 are injured.

1308 - The beginning of the Asaphatan Civil War begins, revolutionaries and their makeshift armies rise up mainly in the north but also on the West coast and the South-East tip.

1308-45 - The Asaphatan Civil War was very uneventful, troops were continuously grouped into small divisions that pointlessly charged at enemy defences, with the same from the enemy. Both sides tried to outflank the other. This became a war of attrition as either side vies to wear the other down. Finally, the revolutionaries - tired after 36 years of endless war - made a 50,000 man push towards Hedskar, and the exhausted Asaphatan lines gave way, the capital was taken. 2 weeks later the Caliphate surrendered. The dictator fled to Eto, but was sunk by his own troops believing the war was still on and that the ship was an enemy ship.

Depiction of a skirmish during the Civil War

1345 - The Union of Toors Republics was formed and immediately began rebuilding the devastated land, however the nation ordered the execution of over 100,000 Muslims, while the majority of the rest of the Muslims fled to neighbouring nations.

1367 - Introduction right to fair trial, under the Free Trial Laws.

1370 - A huge fire breaks out in Shrewter - it sweeps across the wooden structures and wildly destroys homes. The fire takes 2 days to die down after a storm (known as the Storm of Shrewter) kills it. Dead are estimated to be 200, but some historians theorise this could be as high as 850.

1389 - The weak Union becomes unstable and eventually collapses. Anarchy ravages the lands and neighbouring empires take advantage of this, claiming half of the Union's former lands. Unity would not come for another century. Small semi-nations from across the fields, which all try to take power but are consistently low on supplies, weapons, and healthy men.

1421 - An epidemic of smallpox sweeps across the anarchy, killing thousands and leaving many sick and in poverty.

1435 - Islamic armies attempt to take control of the country, but miraculously fails when an untimely tsunami swept the coast that they were camping on away.

1467 - Talks between rival groups begin, but too much is disputed and they end abruptly.

1493 - After over a century, a Christian Autocracy takes the government seat after a major battle at Casil, defeating the Islamic armies. Rebuilding would carry out for another two decades.

Wellsia wrote:Gerrymandering was created by Mayor Gerry of Boston to keep the Democrats in power after the War Between the States. It has been used by both parties for over 100 years and now all of a sudden it’s bad.
Personally I say outlaw both parties since all they care about is staying in power. Repeal the 17th amendment giving states say so in the Federal government again and get rid of voting districts for the House. Louisiana has 6 Congressmen, have at large voting and the 6 that get the most votes are elected. Also limit the times that a person can run to two consecutive terms.

"Mayor Gerry" - Governor Gerry, who acted in the interest of Boston and his party.

"War Between the States" - I know you're an old southern man but I'm quite tired of these attempts to recast the Civil War as if the Union states were fighting for their own interests against the Confederacy. It was the Civil War between traitors and the Union.

"Democrats in power after" - Gerry did the redistricting in 1812, 50 years prior to the Civil War. Let's also clarify that he was a Democratic-Republican then, a precursor to the modern Democratic party and the Republicans thanks to President Jackson.

"now all of a sudden it’s bad." Gerrymandering was a hated move back when Gerry first did it as it is now. There is no difference between now and then except the lengths at which the parties perform such actions.

"Repeal the 17th amendment giving states say so in the Federal government again" - In a just world I would support this entirely, as you see with D&S. However, I cannot trust the States with this power given the current political climate. Both Democrat and Republican states would weaponize such power and drive the Union further apart.

"get rid of voting districts for the House" - I'd prefer multi-member districts with proportional voting. I also support the expansion of the House to all territories, elevating the current delegates to full voting members with all the rights States have in reference to the House.

"Also limit the times that a person can run to two consecutive terms" - I'm still very much on the fence with this one. I don't really believe this would cause more qualified politicians to be represented, nor do I think that the lack of a need to campaign would change how politicians would treat their positions, plenty would still want board positions from their lobbyists so that doesn't help much. Perhaps the Senate should be subject to this but certainly not the House.

Caelius Dynamics C-100 Series
The Quint-Essential Regional Jet Airliner

The Caelius Dynamics C-100, is a series of Alteran short-range jet airliners
first developed and introduced in the 1980s and 1990s. The C-100 was the first
commercial aircraft and one of the most successful Alteran airliner designs for the then-fledgling
company. The upgraded C-100 B and C-100 C series has the more powerful Oakoms OE.145 engines.
The later upgrades has increased operating weights and can carry up to 150 passengers.

The Caelius Dynamics C-100 Series is an Alteran long-haul, mid-size widebody, twin-engine jet airliner made by Caelius Dynamics. Also known as the C-100, it was an Alteran short-range jet airliner of the developed in the 1980s and 1990s. It was one of the first Alteran-manufactured short-haul jet airliner to enter service. The aircraft was also licence-produced in Xrevaro.

The C-100 was originally conceived by design bureau Tempus Aircraft Corporation and was subsequently developed by the Caelius Dynamics when the companies merged along with several other small aerospace companies in the 1980s. The C-100 was aimed at replacing the role of the earlier turboprop-powered aircraft on short-range routes. The C-100 made it to market ahead of the 3-11 from Alteran Aerospace, which gave it a temporary edge on the market.

The aircraft proved to be popular with domestic airlines and with various international operators; over half of the One-Eleven's sales at launch were to the largest and most lucrative markets in the region. The aircraft was one of the most successful Alteran airliner designs and serves throughout Argus and the wider region. It remained a dominant aircraft from Altera until more advanced turboprops from Norstham and Alteran Aerospace's 3-11 and 8-11 saw development and construction.

Design


The Caelius Dynamics C-100 is a twin turbine short-haul jet transport with rear mounted engines in a 'T' tail configuration. It has a retractable tricycle undercarriage with hydraulically powered brakes and nose wheel steering. The aircraft itilises hydraulic power for flight controls, though this was quickly replaced with digital systems where appropriate. For the electrical system, two-engine-driven generators supply power, together with an additional generator powered by the Auxillart Power Unit (APU) mounted in the tail cone. Two Oakoms OE.142 turbofan engines power the aircraft, each rated at 10,410 lb static thrust in the initial C-100 A series. Later series, the C-100 B and C-100 C have higher-powered OE.145 turbofans.

Market research showed the early designs for the aircraft - which featured only 59 seats, was deemed too small. By the 1980s, the design was reworked with passenger capacity growing to 80 seats, and utilised new engines from Oakoms Aerospace. The revised design was redesignated the Caelius Dynamics C-100. Unlike contemporary airliners, the C-100 was not designed specifically to meet the needs of the state-owned airliners, but on the needs of airlines around the world, and Caelius Dynamics expected orders for as many as 400. Test flying was conducted by former Alteran Air Defence Force pilot, Squadron Leader Andrew Gladstone.

On the 8th May, 1985, the C-100 was publicly launched when Alteran Overseas Airways Corporation placed the first order for twelve C-100 A. On the 20th October, Alteran airline Confederate ordered 16 of the aircraft. Sterling and Laker sent representatives to Caelius Dynamics seeking out a new aircraft for their short-haul routes, and on 24th July 1987 concluded an agreement for eighteen C-100.

In May 1992, Caelius Dynamics announced the C-100 B and C-100 C series. The new versions used the Mk. 311 version of the Oakoms OE.145 engines with increased power, allowing more fuel upload and hence longer range. Both of these designs were quickly adopted by Laker and Alteran United Airways, both keen making their mark on the regional airline scene are large, independent airlines.

FP / AAe 3-11 Series
An Ainslie-Alteran Jointly Developed Short-Haul Airliner

The FP/AAe 3-11 is multi-national project to design and build a short-haul airliner, with a
capacity of over 100 passengers. The 3-11 is jointly developed and built by Alteran Aerospace and
Fortitude Prospect in Ainslie. The 3-11 is the first of many projects to be developed under a new pilot
scheme to share development and construction costs by having more than one company invest,
develop, maintain and produce the aircraft.

As early as 1997, AAe noted there was a clear gap in the market for regional-jets; short-haul aircraft to carry smaller number of passengers on busier or shorter routes. AAe appointed Barry Scott later that year to evaluate the creation of a New Commercial Aircraft Program. AAe launched a feasibility study for a five-seat abreast aircraft at Ludlum Airshow in July 2002 to replace aging short-range aircraft with 20% lower operating costs, and 15% lower than aircraft produced at the time. The aircraft should carry 110 to 130 passengers over 3,200 nautical miles.

AAe's Board of Directors authorized marketing the aircraft on 15 March 2003, seeking firm commitments from potential customers, suppliers and government partners prior to program launch, including investing from the governments of Alteran republics and Ainslie. The 3-11 was planned to have 3-by-2 standard seating and 4-abreast business class, 7 ft (2.1 m) stand-up headroom, fly-by-wire and side stick controls. Over 20 percent of the aircraft weight would be in composite materials for the centre and rear fuselages, tail cone, appendage and wings. First flight was planned for 2008 and entry into service later that year.

In May 1999, the 3-11 development was evaluated at US$2.1 billion, shared with suppliers and partner governments for one-third each. The Government of Alteran republics would invest US$562.5 million and the Government of Ainslie US$140 million, repayable on a royalty basis per aircraft. The Alteran/Ainslie Government contribution is part of an investment partnership for the location of the development of the wings, engine nacelles and composite empennage structures at AAe facilities across Altera and some third-party development in Ainslie.

Design


The 3-11's cross section was designed to give enhanced seating comfort for passengers, with features like broader seats and armrests for the middle passenger and larger windows at every seat to give every passenger the physical and psychological advantages of ample natural light.

The Alteran Aerospace / Fortitude Prospect 3-11 aircraft contains a high proportion of composite materials and features larger windows. The 3-11 cabin features large, rotating overhead storage bins, allowing each passenger to stow a sizeable carry-on bag overhead. AAe claims that compared to the cabins of current in-service narrowbody aircraft, the 3-11 provides airlines with the highest overhead bin volume per passenger and a wider aisle that allows for faster boarding and disembarkation of passengers. Additionally, the aircraft contains 70% advanced materials comprising 46% composite materials and 24% aluminium-lithium. AAe claims an overall 15% lower seat-mile cost, 20% lower fuel burn and a CO2 emissions advantage, a 25% reduction in maintenance costs and four-fold reduction in the noise footprint compared to existing production aircraft.

Although designed primarily for the 4-11, the 3-11 incorporated other advanced features such as the Forward-Facing Crew Cockpit, which enabled a two-pilot flight crew to fly the aircraft alone without the need for a flight engineer, the functions of which were automated; this two-man cockpit concept was a world-first for a wide-body aircraft. Glass cockpit flight instrumentation, which used LCD monitors to display flight, navigation, and warning information, along with fully digital dual autopilots and digital flight control computers for controlling the spoilers, flaps, and leading-edge slats, were also adopted upon later-built models. Additional composites were also made use of, such as a carbon-fibre-reinforced polymer (CFRP), as well as their presence in an increasing proportion of the aircraft's components, including the spoilers, rudder, air brakes, and landing gear doors. Another feature of later aircraft was the addition of wing-tip fences, which generated greater aerodynamic performance.

Variants


3-11 100

The 3-11 100 is the model of aircraft that was developed, tested and built in the early 2000s. Since then, the aircraft has received a few minor updates internally. With a maximum capacity of 130 seats and a length of just over 35 metres, the 3-11 100 is the smallest of the variants, but remains one of the more popular aircraft in small-to-medium sized airline companies, retaining a 20% reduction in running costs than similar aircraft of its type.

3-11 Wedgetail

Near identical to the 100 variant, fitted with a 'tophat' non-rotary active electronically scanned array radar antenna, capable of tracking targets up to 850 km.

3-11 MPA

The 3-11 MPA (Maritime Patrol Aircraft) is a modified variant of the original 3-11 100 commercial aircraft. In addition to its lost running costs, the MPA conversion features an array of equipment suited for its role, ranging from radar and sonar suites, to torpedo and sensor launchers. First delivered to the Alteran Air Force in 2017, it has since seen rapid adoption across allied states.

Oakoms O.141
A S/VTOL Airliner for Inter-City Airports

The O.141 is recently developed short-haul airliner, designed and built by Oakoms Aerospace, a
subsidary of the Oakoms Group. The O.141 is the company's attempt to break into the already
crowded aerospace market, by offering a unique aircraft that can operate from both short runways
as well as take-off and land vertically. The aircraft has seen adoption, albeit in limited numbers, around the
region as a short-haul airliner that flies frequently between cities with airports in urban areas.

The Oakoms Aerospace O.141 is a narrow-bodied jet airliner, capable of taking off and landing vertically or from very short runways, developed and manufactured by Oakoms Aerospace. Formally announced in the early 1990s, it is widely regarded the region's first major attempt at a VTOL airliner, despite a mixed reception from the international aviation industry.

In 1988 the Alteran Aviation Board (AAB) issued a design study "Outline Requirement" (OR) for a 100-seat VTOL airliner capable of a minimum range of 450 miles (725 km), to take of from the planned inter-city airports. Emphasis was to be on noise reduction by using steep approach and departure profiles, much like those used today at contemporary city airports. It was thought at the time that money would be better invested on designing new aircraft types than building additional airports outside of urban areas.

Oakoms Aerospace investigated various configurations of aircraft, powerplant and control systems including an early proposal using ogival delta wings and twin fins, before submitting their draft design proposal to the AAB in January 1990. The first models and designs of the planned aircraft were unveiled at the 1990 Ludlum Air Show, where it was announced the aircraft would be known as the O.141.

Following the success of the initial O.141, the design was stretched into a number of variants; including the O.141A and the O.141B. The aircraft has been mainly adopted by a few airlines to run routes that involved flying to or from runways operating inside cities.

Design


The O.141 design was a jet airliner of all-metal construction with a T-tail and a low-mounted swept wing with a quarter-chord sweepback of 28 degrees. The design featured two wing-mounted "cruise" engines and either 16 or 20 lift fan engines mounted in sponsons either side of the fuselage (eight per side).

The engines under main consideration were the Oakoms Aerospace Engines OAE.220 turbofan for forward propulsion and the Oakoms Aerospace Engines OAE.202, a high bypass ratio lift fan engine using technology developed for the Oakoms Aerospace Engines OAE.162 lift jet. Both engines were themselves design studies by Oakoms Aerospace and it was feared that there would be delays in their development due to the company's problems at the time.

Although the aircraft is usually shipped with Alteran engines, Oakoms usually allow for the installing of other forward-propulsion engines on an order-to-order basis. Variations using fewer lift fan engines for STOL operations only were also studied as it was realised that the engines could account for 15% of the total weight of the aircraft and 35% of the final cost.

During the design stage many solutions involving high-lift devices were explored including flaps blown by the "cruise" engines. The flight control system proved the greatest challenge to the design team, systems had to be devised to control the aircraft in slow or hovering flight. This was to be achieved by swivelling the lift engines in their mounts combined with varying the thrust of each engine to provide control in pitch, roll and yaw.

The lift engines were said to be a useful safety feature in the event of failure of the main 'cruise' engines, although such an event has yet to take place outside of testing scenarios. Significant design information was gained from flight trials with the Osprey fighter aircraft being developed at the same time by Alteran Aerospace.

The passenger cabin was conventional with five or six seats abreast, luggage and freight was to be loaded in pre-packed pallets and raised up into the lower fuselage using a system similar to other conventional narrow-bodied airliners.

The most unconventional and most complex aspect of the O.141 design lays within its control system. The aircraft has conventional ailerons, elevator controls and rudder that lose their efficiency with a drop in speed below the minimum value of the evolutionary speed (minimum permissible speed while maintaining controllability) in an ordinary flight, in which the lifting force is generated by the wing. For vertical and very slow forward movement, lifting fan motors are used to provide control and perform the same functions as the "exhaust pipes" used for control on the Condor Jump Jet. This requires a differentiated operation of the engines both from the point of view of thrust and the thrust vector.

For pitch control, the differentiation of thrust between the bow and stern thrusters is used, while roll control is the differentiation of thrust between the left and right engines. The yaw control requires differentiating the tilt of the engines: so the traction of some engines is deflected forward, while while the others are tilted to direct the traction backwards. As already noted, for acceleration or deceleration, all engines are deflected together backward or forward. Another consequence of the use of engines for control purposes is a very rapid response to the required thrust changes.

AAe 8-11 Series
The Next Generation in Commercial Aviation

Alteran Aerospace's 8-11 series is a long haul, mid-size wide-bodied commercial
airliner made by Alteran Aerospace. It was designed to replace and compliment their
range of 4-11 series aircraft in a variety of roles, offering greater capacity, better
efficiency and lower long-term costs. Using a combination of composite materials,
3D printing and 21st Century CAD, the 8-11 is Altera's most modern airliner to date.

The Alteran Aerospace 8-11 Series is an Alteran long-haul, mid-size widebody, twin-engine jet airliner made by Alteran Aerospace. Its variants seat 190 to 360 passengers in typical three-class seating configurations. It is the first airliner with an airframe constructed primarily of composite materials.

The 8-11 was designed to be 20% more fuel-efficient than the AAe 4-11, which it was intended to replace. The 8-11's distinguishing features include mostly electrical flight systems, raked wingtips, and noise-reducing chevrons on its engine nacelles.

The aircraft's initial designation was the L-11, prior to its renaming in Feburary 2010. The first 8-11 was unveiled in a roll-out ceremony on July 8, 2017 at AAe's Ludlum factory in Northern Altera. Development and production of the 8-11 has involved a large-scale collaboration with numerous suppliers worldwide.

Final assembly takes place at the Alteran Aerospace Ludlum Factory in Ludlum, Altera, and at the Alteran Aerospace factory in Dylekirk, Noronica. Originally planned to enter service in May 2016, the project experienced multiple delays. The airliner's maiden flight took place on May 6th 2014, and completed flight testing in mid-2016. AAe has reportedly spent in excess of $40 billion on the 8-11 program.

Inspired by the success of the 4-11, several companies lined up to take delivery of the aircraft - signing up as launch customers. These included A.O.A.C., Sterling Airways and dragonFly.

Following the success of the initial 4-11 series and its successors, the 8-11 launched with a variety of aircraft types; the 8-11 100, 200, 300 and 400. As with the 4-11, the 8-11 also accepts customized orders for additional equipment for the military and other civil aviation duties.

Design


The Alteran Aerospace 8-11 is a long-haul, widebody, twin-engine jetliner, which features light-weight construction. The aircraft is 80% composite by volume; AAe lists its materials by weight as 50% composite, 20% aluminum, 15% titanium, 10% steel, and 5% other. Aluminium has been used throughout the wing and tail leading edges, titanium is predominantly present within the elements of the engines and fasteners, while various individual components are composed of steel.

External features include a smooth nose contour, raked wingtips and engine nacelles with noise-reducing serrated edges (chevrons). The longest-range 8-11 variant can fly 8,000 to 8,500 nautical miles (9,200 to 9,800 mi; 14,800 to 15,700 km), enough to cover even the longest routes over the Western Isles. Its cruising airspeed is Mach 0.85, equivalent to 561 mph (903 km/h; 487 kn) at typical cruise altitudes. The aircraft has a design life of 44,000 flight cycles.

Among 8-11 flight systems, a key change from traditional airliners is the electrical architecture. The architecture is bleedless and replaces bleed air and hydraulic power sources with electrically powered compressors and pumps, while completely eliminating pneumatics and hydraulics from some subsystems, e.g., engine starters or brakes. AAe says that this system extracts 35% less power from the engines, allowing increased thrust and improved fuel efficiency.

The total available on-board electrical power is 1.45 megawatts, which is five times the power available on conventional pneumatic airliners; the most notable electrically powered systems include engine start, cabin pressurization, horizontal-stabilizer trim, and wheel brakes. Wing ice protection is another new system; it uses electro-thermal heater mats on the wing slats instead of traditional hot bleed air. An active gust alleviation system, similar to the system used on the B-2 bomber, improves ride quality during turbulence.

The 8-11 has a "fly-by-wire" control system similar in architecture to that of the later 4-11 designs (post-2010 built). The flight deck features multi-function LCDs, which use an industry-standard graphical user interface widget toolkit. The 8-11 flight deck includes two head-up displays (HUDs) as a standard feature. The 8-11 shares a common type rating with the larger 4-11, allowing qualified pilots to operate both models. Like other AAe airliners, the 8-11 uses a yoke instead of a side-stick.

Under consideration is future integration of forward-looking infrared into the HUD for thermal sensing, allowing pilots to "see" through clouds.

The 8-11 is the first major commercial airplane to have a composite fuselage, composite wings, and use composites in most other airframe components. Each 8-11 contains approximately 77,000 pounds (35 metric tons) of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP), made with 51,000 lb (23 t) of carbon fiber. Carbon fiber composites have a higher strength-to-weight ratio than conventional aircraft materials, and help make the 8-11 a lighter aircraft. Composites are used on fuselage, wings, tail, doors, and interior.

The first carbon/epoxy primary structure was put into service on the AAe 4-11 classic horizontal tail in 1984.

Carbon fiber, unlike metal, does not visibly show cracks and fatigue, prompting concerns about the safety risks of widespread use of the material. Although fired in 2006, several AAe engineers complained to management, and later to the public: the composite fuselage was unsafe compared to conventional aluminum designs, and in a crash, was more likely to "shatter too easily and burn with toxic fumes".

In addition, a potential issue is the porous nature of composite materials: collected moisture expanding with altitude can cause delamination. AAe responded that composites have been used on wings and other passenger aircraft parts for many years without incident, and special defect detection procedures will be instituted for the 8-11 to detect any potential hidden damage.

The Alteran Aerospace 4-11 is a wide-bodied jet airliner developed and manufactured by Alteran Aerospace. Formally announced in the early 1960s, it is widely regarded as Altera's first, and most commercially successful, wide-bodied jet liner to be put into production. The 4-11 is a series of aircraft produced by Alteran Aerospace, who offer variants in many sizes and features. The most common, the 4-11 100, is widely used throughout the region and typically seats 300 passengers in a single class configuration.

Development of the 4-11 began during the 1960s as a collaborative project between the various small aerospace companies that resided in Altera. Following the merger into Alteran Aerospace, the project was consolidated and put as a main priority for the company. Whilst companies such as Caelius Dynamics withdrew from the consortium (later to go on to develop the C-100 series using lessons learned from the 4-11), the aircraft saw its first flight - as the 4-11 100 - in 1963, with production beginning in May of the following year.

Alteran Overseas Airways Corporation (A.O.A.C.). the launch customer of the 4-11 100, introduced the aircraft into service on January 1st 1970. Following an initial spur of orders from airlines, orders of new aircraft were limited - plateauing until the 1990s. The aircraft, both new and built models, were given a new lease of life in the 2000s and again in the 2010s, with the instalment of a new digital cockpit, engine and digital control surfaces.

Following the success of the initial 4-11, the design was stretched into a number of variants; the 4-11 100R (1971), 200 (1978), 300 (1991) and 400 (2008) - with the original re-branded as the 100.

Design


Whilst to the untrained eye the 4-11 may not look like a revolutionary aircraft, looking much like civil aircraft operating everyday in the 21st century, at the time the 4-11 was building on its revolutionary ancestry and pedigree of the rear-engined aircraft produced by AAe - only this time it was the creation of a company who was responding to future market demands in the region.

First conceived in the late 1960s, the 4-11 was [at first] a design study undertaken by several apprentices within Alteran Aerospace (AAe) in their first few years at the company; originally starting with tweaking the designs of earlier airline designs to create a wider version. As it was essentially the pet project of several graduates, it did not receive much consideration from the higher-ups and it would be a while until the lead designers were informed of its existence. Fortunately for the company, when the apprentices were given full-time positions, they brought with them their designs for the 4-11. Impressed with the concept, AAe allowed some of them to continue to pursue its development - albeit on a small, low funded scale. For nearly two years it remained in this limbo-like state until in the 1960s Alteran Overseas Airways Corporation (A.O.A.C.) approached AAe with a desire for a higher-capacity aircraft.

The Alteran Aerospace 4-11 is a wide-body medium-to-long range airliner; it has the distinction of being an early adopter of the first twin-engine wide-body aircraft in the region. By the 1980s, newly constructed aircraft incorporate the use of composite materials, which was used on both secondary and later primary airframe structures, decreasing overall weight and improving cost-effectiveness. Aircraft built prior to the 1980s were had the option to have new composite components and frames. Other firsts included the pioneering use of centre-of-gravity control, achieved by transferring fuel between various locations across the aircraft, and electrically signalled secondary flight controls.

All the aircraft in the 4-11 series are powered by a pair of underwing turbofan engines, either Jet Air, Prance-Royce or Oakoms engines; the sole use of underwing engine pods allowed for any suitable turbofan engine to be more readily used. An optional rear engined variant of the 4-11 100 was produced for number of years, as the configuration was ideal for short runways. However, this configuration was pulled from production later as sales slumped. The lack of a third tail-mounted engine, as per the trijet configuration used by some competing airliners, allowed for the wings to be located further forwards and to reduce the size of the vertical stabilizer and elevator, which had the effect of increasing the aircraft's flight performance and fuel efficiency.

Later 4-11s incorporated other advanced features such as the Forward-Facing Crew Cockpit, which enabled a two-pilot flight crew to fly the aircraft alone without the need for a flight engineer, the functions of which were automated; this two-man cockpit concept was a world-first for a wide-body aircraft. Glass cockpit flight instrumentation, which used cathode ray tube (CRT) monitors to display flight, navigation, and warning information, along with fully digital dual autopilots and digital flight control computers for controlling the spoilers, flaps, and leading-edge slats, were also adopted upon later-built models.

Additional composites were also made use of, such as carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP), as well as their presence in an increasing proportion of the aircraft's components, including the spoilers, rudder, air brakes, and landing gear doors. Another feature of later aircraft were the addition of wingtip fences, which generated greater aerodynamic performance (first introduced on the 4-11 200).

Variants


4-11 100

The first production version of the 4-11 series. Original model first flew in 1966 and differed greatly from the original design, which would have seen the two engines mounted on the fuselage of the aircraft instead of underwing pods. The 4-11 was award its flight certificate in the late 1960s and production began 1969. Both Alteran republics's Alteran Overseas Airways Corporation (A.O.A.C.) and Baersk Air Services were launch customers. Baersk opted to operate a freight conversion of the aircraft on its overnight freight air service, transporting a variety of parcels and crates across Northern Argus. As the freight option was popular with airlines, AAe has since made freight variants (designated with an 'F') a standard option for all 4-11 aircraft. The 4-11 100 also saw introduction of a rear-engined aircraft, with four turbofans mounted on the fuselage, designated the 4-11 100R. Although production halted in the 1980s, the aircraft continues to be updated and maintained by AAe with several airlines still operating the variant.

Sub-Variants

  • 4-11 100 F - Civilian/military spec. cargo hauler

  • 4-11 100 R - Fitted with four fuselage mounted engines

  • 4-11 100 RF - R variant outfitted for civilian/military spec. cargo hauler

  • 4-11 100 'Guardian' - Military airborne early warning radar (AWACS)

  • 4-11 100 'Sea Maiden' - Military airborne anti-submarine and maritime patrol

4-11 200

The 4-11 200 was a development of the original 4-11 100 aircraft and was the first in the series to feature winglets. The fuselage was extended by just over six metres in an attempt to carry more passengers; 330 over the 4-11 100's 300 capacity. The flight range was expanded with the installation of a central fuel tank in the fuselage, making the 4-11 200 capable of flying long routes that covered most of the nations within the region. Seeing the potential in the longer range, various airline companies; notably Norstham's Norura Air, Alteran republics's Sterling Airways and Jorvvik's Air Jorvvik, placed themselves as launch customers. Several air forces also make use of the military transport and tanker conversions.

Sub-Variants

  • 4-11 200 F - Civilian/Military Spec. Cargo Hauler

  • 4-11 200 T - Military aerial refuelling tanker

  • 4-11 200 'Guardian' - Military Airborne Early Warning Radar (AWACS)

  • 4-11 200 'Sea Maiden' - Military Airborne Anti-Submarine and Maritime Patrol

4-11 300

A direct development of the 4-11 200, the 4-11 300 saw a lengthened fuselage to accommodate a higher volume of either passengers or cargo. With a capacity of up to 380 passengers, the 4-11 300 was - at the time - one of the few aircraft in the region to be able to carry over 350 paying passengers. The aircraft is often configured for a 3-Class layout, reducing the capacity to around 280 passengers. Whilst the 4-11 300 remains one of the most efficient aircraft to operate on long haul flights, it is often overlooked in favour of the later 4-11 400. However, the aircraft remains popular amongst air freighter companies.

Sub-Variants

  • 4-11 300 F - Civilian/Military Spec. Cargo Hauler

  • 4-11 300 T - Military aerial refuelling tanker

4-11 400

Being the largest of the 4-11 series, the 4-11 400 has the largest fuselage and most powerful engines of the 4-11 series. Carrying a maximum of over 400 passengers, the 4-11 400 remains one of the most popular long haul airliners - being operated by a variety of companies on their long haul routes across the region. As the with the 4-11 200, it also sees popular service amongst the armed forces, with aircraft converted for tanker and transportation roles, as well as an AWACS variant offered by for air control and surveillance missions.

Sub-Variants

  • 4-11 400 F - Civilian/Military Spec. Cargo Hauler

  • 4-11 400 T - Military aerial refuelling tanker

  • 4-11 400 'Guardian' - Military Airborne Early Warning Radar (AWACS)

  • 4-11 400 ULR - 'Ultra Long Range' variant, increasing range to 15,000 km

The Hegemony of Wellsia

Dormill and Stiura, got the dates wrong, but both parties have used gerrymandering for 200 years and until now the Federal Judges haven’t said a word so long as it was politically motivated. There was never a Civil War, it was a war of independence for the South. No one was tried as a traitor, because the Supreme Court found that the act of secession was not illegal. General Wheeler, commander of the Confederate Army of the Tennessee’s cavalry, served as a general in the United States Army during the Spanish-American War, don’t think they would have allowed a “traitor” to hold such a rank. Was the Union wrong, no they were fighting to keep the dream of 1776 alive, were the Confederates wrong, no, only in that they were also fighting for the dream of 1776, just 80 years had made that dream different for the two sides. The most appropriate name would be “The War for Southern Independence “.

Secession is treason against the United States

Dubious legality of unilateral secession
Edit
The Constitution does not directly mention secession.[53] The legality of secession was hotly debated in the 19th century, with Southerners often claiming and Northerners generally denying that states have a legal right to unilaterally secede.[54] The Supreme Court has consistently interpreted the Constitution to be an "indestructible" union.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secession_in_the_United_States

Regardless the south lost and the world is better for it. The civil war was just that- a civil war. Remember that the south invaded the north with the goal of capturing Washington D.C. They weren't going to let the federal government live if they had a say.

I'm just as sick as dorm of your revisionist bs regarding the war.

Yeah, Texas v. White would like to disagree with you on the stance the Supreme Court had on secession, or more particularly Chief Justice Salmon Chase who wrote for the majority ruling that Texas illegally sold US Treasury bonds during the War.

"There was no place for reconsideration or revocation, except through revolution or through consent of the States. [T]he ordinance of secession, adopted by the convention and ratified by a majority of the citizens of Texas, and all the acts of her legislature intended to give effect to that ordinance, were absolutely null. They were utterly without operation in law."

As for the Confederate Generals that continued to serve with the US Army following the War, I cannot speak for the decision as to why none of the traitors were hung after they surrendered. Finally, the South fought for a dream disassociated with the rest of the Union, and rather than keep the tightrope that had been established they decided that one man was enough to resolve secession. They were wrong because not only was slavery a repugnant practice that nearly every Founding Father morally despised (despite several being slave owners themselves) but they were wrong because their method of recourse was treason against the United States.

Almorea wrote:I don't think it can really be argued that the GOP ISN'T the party that practices gerrymandering more. Spoken as a Republican. 17th Amendment needs to go in the trash

They are, but I do recall at least one instance of a Democratic state gerrymandering a district (I think it was Maryland, but I'd have to look that back up). Predominantly, however, the Republicans have made it clear they will break every rule and every law to get their way. That alone is repugnant to me, and when their way mostly involves stealing the rights of people for no good reason, drumming up a war nobody wants, and actively spitting on science and its conclusions (at least those that don't fit their contorted worldview), then I've cause to hate them even more.

Are there good Republicans? Of course, there's a good and bad in every group. However, by and large, I've come to believe that the Republican Party has no moral backbone to speak of and no real policy to stand by.

I'm just as sick as dorm of your revisionist bs regarding the war.

Oh boy. I was on mobile before. Now I'm rereading this crap, and it's even worse.

1. There was never a Civil War, it was a war of independence for the South

Wellsia No, just no. The south was fighting for the Confederacy's independence, yes, but they were truthfully fighting over their right to expand westward and create the golden circle of slavery (as seen in the Democrats attempts to take Cuba from Spain throughout the antebellum period. It's why bleeding Kansas was a horrible thing, it's why the fight over the statehood of New Mexico and Texas and their boundaries was such a big deal. It's why every complaint was filed by the south towards the north. Couple this with the fact that they forced fugitive slave laws on the Northern states and would regularly violate or go back on compromises as they saw fit leading up to the Civil War as well as their fervor in defending the Dred Scott decision by the South's own Taney and you have an aggressively reactionary group of states that defended slavery, the honor of the south, and their way of life which had slavery as a requirement, and you get a Confederacy that was aggressively trying to impose their own ways on the North. Their fight for Independence was not for the freedom of the states to do as they wished, but to impose their will on the majority of the north, especially regarding the new western territories. This is shown most clearly by the fact that the Slave government of Kansas passed laws INCRIMINATING THE CRITICISM OF SLAVERY IN THAT STATE by JAIL AND FINE.

2. No one was tried as a traitor, because the Supreme Court found that the act of secession was not illegal.

See above link, also this one: https://www.futurity.org/civil-war-union-rebels-treason-725752/ It explains pretty well why the North didn't try anyone for treason. The Federals, after winning the war, allowed whole armies to go home without trial. Even during the war, Grant allowed the army at Vicksburg to return home instead of imprison them. Everything the North did following the war and during the war was to maintain the stability of the Union. Nothing less, nothing more. Only during reconstruction and re-admittance to the Union did massive reforms become a goal. So yeah, they committed treason and they got away with it, if you count the total upheaval of southern society as "getting away with it".

3. General Wheeler, commander of the Confederate Army of the Tennessee’s cavalry, served as a general in the United States Army during the Spanish-American War, don’t think they would have allowed a “traitor” to hold such a rank.

Irrelevant. He was a traitor, but for the same reasons as above, no one was tried or hunted down because the federal government wanted to bring the south back into the union, not destroy it. They wanted to modernize the southern economy and society so as to ensure that it would not rebel again. They also knew that they needed talented generals with combat experience in the coming wars- Wheeler was among many confederates that joined the army.

4. Was the Union wrong, no they were fighting to keep the dream of 1776 alive

They were fighting to maintain the power of the federal government and to ensure the nation was stable, peaceful, and independent of foreign influence. By the end of 1862, the Union and the soldiers within were fighting a war against slavery because only ending slavery would achieve the Federals' goals.

5. were the Confederates wrong, no, only in that they were also fighting for the dream of 1776

The Confederates were not fighting for the dream of 1776, though it was often brought up throughout the war. They fought for the continued existence and spread of slavery in America because slavery and the institutions it supported were the backbone of the southern economy and way of life. Only by spreading it would they survive, only by its existence did the Southern Society as they knew it exist.

6. The most appropriate name would be “The War for Southern Independence “.

The most appropriate name for the American Civil War is the American Civil war. Why? Because this was not a war of Southern independence, but a war to decide the identity of the entire nation. Had the south won, they would have fought the Union only a short while later to win the land west of the Mississippi that the Federal government had organized into territories but were not yet states. That second war would have resulted in either the same result as the first war or in a total Southern Victory where they would rule the continent. Once the south had stabilized the continent, they would turn their eyes southwards to create the golden circle of slavery, taking Cuba for themselves and moving ever southwards.

I don't really care what you were raised to believe because I was raised the same. But I believed the Union was right, that the war was the only way to end slavery for sure in the U.S.A. I was bullied and attacked for my views on the war while I lived in the country going to a small, all white school. The sooner that the legacy of the Confederacy dies the shameful death it was spared by pragmatic minds, the better. It was one of racism, reactionary thought, and authoritarian to boot.

From where I stand, the most optimal economy is one where nobody goes poor, yet there are healthy amounts of ways to become rich. Where workers own the means of production in a competitive, capitalist-like, business environment.

Unfortunately, I don't think it's really possible to cherry-pick the best aspects of both systems in a realistic manner, but between the cons of the two I would rather the cons of capitalism since then there's at least a way out of poverty.
