prize-winning flight, but it was the record-breaking flight. and so they went to the trouble to reinstall the dented engine nozzle on it. our next stop will be sky lab, and we re going to look at that because it is one of the original artifacts on display here since before this museum opened. sky lab is so large, it was brought into the museum before the building was closed out. now i m standing in front of a model of sky lab that s as tall as i am but the real sky lab orbital work station behind me absolutely dwarfs the model and me. it reaches from the floor up into the sky lights of this building, two stories tall. sky lab was the united states first space station, placed in orbit in 1973 and in 1973 and 74, three different nasa astronaut crews spent time aboard it. three men at a time, one group was there for one month. another group for two months, and the third group for three months. the whole point of the sky lab missions was to get some experience in living and wo
cowling, what i mean is that there s a tight figtting metal covering and allows the air to flow over more efficiently. so, mark burket of the spanish swiss company has designed a very important series of automobile engines in the pre-war era. he adapts this to the aeronautical application by taking two of his inline four engines, makes it into a v-8, and what he does that s very unique is instead of having separate cylinders attached to the crank case, he casts a row of cylinders out of a solid piece of aluminum. and he has cooling packagssages those aluminum blocks that allows improved cooling and more power. so instead of a rotary engine, you know, doing 110, 120 horsepower, you re looking at 200 or 220 horsepower with these engines by the time they re introduced in the spad xii. there s always a technological push-pull over the western front in world war i, in which the germans have an advantage with their thick air foiled tubular steel fuselaged aircraft like the folker d
