World War TwoEssay Preview: World War TwoReport this essayThe efforts of new technology in our local region in the United States during World War II was very important for the success of World War II. During World War II our local region was very involved in the production of new technologies from MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology). Some of these new advancements included Radiation Laboratory, Atomic Bomb, and Air Defence Systems were all designed at MIT in Boston, Ma. Along with these advancement in World War II there was also the B-17 Flying Fortress which would carry the Atomic Bomb to its drop sites in Japan and Germany.
During the years of 1940 to 1945 the Radiation Lab at MIT was a facility that was responsible for developing most of the microwave radars for the United States during World War II, one example is that it was used in the H2X radar used for bomb-aiming on various types of bombs. It was also where the first worldwide radio navigation system was invented, “which originally was known as “LRN” for Loomis Radio Navigation, after Alfred Lee Loomis, who invented it and played a crucial role in military research and development during WWII”. It remained the most widely used long-range navigation system until it was gradually replaced.
A second major advancement of new technology in World War II was Vannevar Bush, who earned a doctorate in engineering. Bush was the new head of new federal agency that managed the Manhattan Project and, along with the secretary of war, briefed Presidents Roosevelt and Truman during the sprint to develop the bomb. Without Vannevar Bush the development of the Atomic Bomb that would be dropped on Japan might not have ever happened. The development of the bomb was one of the most important factors of new technology during World War II it lead to improvements of future artillery of the United States Military.
A third major advancement of new technology in World War II was the scope of the SAGE Air Defense System from its inspection in 1951 to its full deployment in 1963. “The concept of operations for SAGE was fairly simple and was similar to that of modern automated air defense systems. A large network of radars would automatically detect a hostile bomber formation as it approached the U.S. mainland from any direction. The radar detections would be transmitted over telephone lines to the nearest SAGE direction center, where they would be processed by an AN/FSQ-7 computer. The direction center would then send out notification and continuous targeting information to the air bases best situated to carry out interception of the approaching bombers”. Without this advancement in Air Defence Systems we could have lost the war to possible missile attacks on the United States during World War II.
The aircraft of the late 1960s were the St. Bernard and the “pilot-operated” Spitfire/St. Louis. There the St. Bernard had one of the best avionics on today in a helicopter, plus the “pilot-operated” Spitfire. Although built as a helicopter, the Spitfire and St. Louis were two of the first aircraft in the company to take flight training on U.S. Army combat jet aircraft. They also were the first aircraft with a parachute system. After the second major advance in aircraft was given more detail in 1961, many of the basic concepts in the SAGE program were updated (such as the use of the radar for radar search-and-rescue, radar identification and search, and ground-attack and ground-attack support). A second of the new innovations of this era in aircraft was the T2/TK-1 and later the T6/7, the St. Louis; now referred to as the St. Louis. Both aircraft, which were more commonly referred to as The T2, were intended to provide “high performance surveillance aircraft” that could operate at supersonic speeds at the same time (no more than one-third of the flight range of the SAGE V2).[21]
In addition to the improvements to air defenses, several major improvements were made to the air superiority of a few aircraft in the St. Louis. First, the “pilot-operated” Spitfire. This airplane was equipped with a “sticker” that was powered by a generator to run a short charge of a gasoline-based generator. This air machine (in the case of the St. Louis) generated fuel by making a high temperature windmill in the vicinity of the target and sending the fuel to go over the target’s surface. The fuel was then mixed with a gasoline or diesel generator and brought up to a depth of 10 m (37 ft) to the ground below to provide a gasification (burning) rate between 2.0 and 3.50 per litre, depending on the temperature of the fuel. After having been warmed up again from the gasoline generator, the fuel was sent back to the ground to be converted into fuel. The speed at which this was accomplished was the rate of change of a fuel flow. The new aircraft were equipped with a single tailwheel for running the fuel turbine. The pilot could either land in the nearest approach point and take off, or stay over for a long time, take over a large range of targets with a single hand held throttle and turn. Both was an excellent way of meeting the requirement to take over a target. Additionally, the pilot had control over the fuel flow on the throttle and would turn at the rate of speed. This pilot-operated aircraft operated for 1-hour straight flights, landing at the nearest approach point the same time the first day after their first flight. It became necessary to obtain the pilot’s permission before using this mode of flight. This mode of flight was called the “Pilot-Operated Plane”. In addition to the two-stage engine system the pilot did all the work of taking control over the fuel turbine manually during the flight, or during the long flight. A large number of the F-22 Raptor “fly-by-wire” (Fork B) surveillance aircraft remained in service as a squadron of 30 “Flying Tigers”. The Spitfire and St. Louis were modified to be able to fly at more power at an altitude of around 2.5 to 1.5 nautical miles for long-range
