The first Foonly machine, the F-1, was the computational engine used to create some of the graphics in the 1982 film Tron.

The first Foonly machine, the F-1, was the computational engine used to create some of the graphics in the film Tron.

The F-1 was the fastest PDP-10 ever built, with a clock rate of 90-100 ns per cycle, but only one was ever made.

By the time of the Jupiter project cancellation in 1983, Foonly's proposal to build another F-1 was eclipsed by the Mars computer, and the company never quite recovered.

Pit was a recurring character in the American animated television series Captain N: The Game Master, and made cameo appearances in Nintendo games such as Tetris, F-1 Race and Super Smash Bros. Melee.

but after the end of July 1943 when the enormous hangar Fertigungshalle 1 ( F-1, Mass Production Plant No. 1 ) was just about to go into operation, Operation Hydra bombed Peenemünde.

* December 25 – The first artificial, self-sustaining nuclear chain reaction in Europe was initiated within the Soviet ( Russian ) nuclear reactor F-1.

One of the last successful electro-mechanical arcade games was F-1, a racing game developed by Namco and distributed by Atari in 1976 ; the game was shown in the films Dawn of the Dead ( 1978 ) and Midnight Madness ( 1980 ), as was Sega's Jet Rocket in the latter film.

However, as early as 07: 35, the third battalion 726th Grenadier Regiment, defending Draw F-1 on Fox Green beach, was reporting that 100 – 200 American troops had penetrated the front, with troops inside the wire at WN-62 and WN-61 attacking the Germans from the rear.

With supporting fire from the heavy weapons of M / 16, tanks and destroyers, this force eliminated WN-60, which defended the draw at F-1 ; by 09: 00, the 3rd battalion 16th RCT was moving inland.

The F-1 draw, initially considered too steep for use, was also eventually opened when engineers laid down a new road.

Although not hypergolic in the strict sense ( but rather pyrophoric ), triethylborane, which ignites spontaneously in the presence of air, was used for engine starts in the SR-71 Blackbird and the F-1 engines used in the Saturn V rocket.

At the same time, a large test stand capable of measuring more than eight million pounds of thrust was converted from a former Saturn F-1 large engine test stand to the first vertical large solid rocket booster test stand in the nation, capable of holding the booster in an upright position during the entire firing sequence and measuring its massive thrust.

The test stand was modified in the early 60's for use in developing and testing the Apollo era Rocketdyne F-1 rocket engine that propelled man to the moon.

This required the development and equalization of three new liquid-fueled rocket engines, the J-2, the F-1, and the H-1 ( rocket engine ); in addition, an existing engine, the RL10, was improved for use on Saturns.

The F-1 engine was, and still is the most powerful single-nozzle liquid-fueled rocket engine ever used in service ; each produced 1. 5-million-pounds thrust.

Also completed in 1964, the S1C Static Test Stand was for live firing of the five F-1 engines of the first stage.

In 1987, a US Navy guided-missile frigate, the USS Stark, was hit by an Exocet anti-ship missile fired by an Iraqi Mirage F-1 fighter plane.

The F-2 was based on the F-1, differing only in installation of optimised wireless equipment.

He was the Test and Integration Manager for the F-1, F-2, and F-3 spacecraft and the cradle in 1983, where he worked until the shipment of the F-1 spacecraft and cradle to Cape Kennedy for integration into the Space Shuttle.

The Stafford Air & Space Museum is home to spacecraft, an actual Titan II missile, WWII V-2 rocket, MiG 21, Saturn V F-1 engine as well as flown space suits, flight equipment, space shuttle engines, and a moon rock ; The museum is located at the Thomas P. Stafford Airport.

The Air Force had recently expressed an interest in such an engine, which would develop into the famed F-1, but at the time they were aiming for and the engines would not be ready until the mid-1960s.

As it happened, the Air Force had recently started work on just such an engine, eventually emerging as the F-1, but this would not be available in the time frame that the DoD was demanding and would be limited to about 1 million lbf in the short term anyway.

The F-1 was originally developed by Rocketdyne to meet a 1955 US Air Force requirement for a very large rocket engine.

The Air Force eventually halted development of the F-1 because of a perceived lack of requirement for such a large engine.

Rocketdyne had several engine designs in the pipeline at that point, the E-1 and the F-1 being developed for the US Air Force.

During these air combat training exercises, the F-15s often practiced against Spanish Air Force Dassault Mirage F-1 fighters.

On November 20, 1936, the Army Air Corps changed the source of funding from normal funding to ' F-1 ' procurement, and redesignated the plane Y1B-17 before it even flew.

Steep escarpments or bluffs then rose 100 – 170 feet ( 30 – 50 m ), dominating the whole beach and cut into by small wooded valleys or draws at five points along the beach, codenamed west to east D-1, D-3, E-1, E-3 and F-1.

The eventual result of that requirement was two different engines, the E-1 and the much larger F-1.

The E-1, although successfully tested in static firing, was quickly seen as a technological dead-end and was abandoned for the larger, more powerful F-1.

Designer of the pump for the E-1 / F-1 for Rocketdyne was Ernest A. Lamont.

This was also used on the American F-1 rocket engine on the Apollo program.

Each SRB produced 80 % more liftoff thrust than one F-1 engine, the most powerful single-chamber liquid-fueled rocket engine ever flown — five of which powered the first stage of the Saturn V " moon rocket ".

The center of the cruciform was unsupported, so the central F-1 engine caused the structure to bend upwards.

The propellant pair UDMH / N < sub > 2 </ sub > O < sub > 4 </ sub > has a lower specific impulse than kerosene / liquid oxygen ; because the RD-270 uses the much more efficient full flow staged combustion cycle as opposed to the simple gas generator cycle used on the American F-1 rocket engine the specific impulse of RD-270 was higher than the comparable American F-1.

The Americans had a 5 year head start with the American F-1 engine development and were still facing combustion stability problems ; it was unrealistic to expect him to miraculously virtually overnight deliver a similar engine with practically no money, primitive computer technology and an inferior kerosene fuel prone to coking at high temperatures as opposed to the rocket grade fuel used in the Saturn V. There were strong personal resentments between the two, Korolev holding Glushko responsible for his near death at Kolyma Gulag and failure of his first marriage as a result and Glushko considering Korolev to be irresponsibly cavalier and autocratic in his attitudes towards things outside his competence ( in this case rocket engines ) and refused outright to work on LOX / kerosene engines and with Korolev in general.
