Komar Class Missile Boat
The Soviet Project 183R class, more commonly known as the Komar class, its NATO reporting name, meaning "mosquito", is a class of missile boats, the first of its kind, built in the 1950s and 1960s. Notably, they were the first to sink another ship with anti-ship missiles in 1967. Design The Project 183 motor torpedo boat (MTB) was designed just after World War II. These boats were armed with two torpedo tubes and were used extensively by Soviet coastal forces in the 1950s. The torpedo boat had a wooden semi-planing hull and was fitted with radar. Over 622 MTBs were built. A submarine chaser variant fitted with sonar and depth charges was also built as was a radio-controlled target boat. In 1956, the P-15 Termit missile became available (NATO reporting name: SS-N-2 "Styx"). The Project 183 proved to be a natural choice for mounting the new missiles, giving the small, fast boats great firepower for their size. The new combination was designated Project 183R (R apparently for ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |

RPG-76 Komar
RPG-76 Komar ( eng. ''Mosquito'') is a disposable one-shot anti-tank grenade launcher that fires an unguided anti-tank rocket-propelled grenade. The weapon was designed as a smaller and lighter alternative to the RPG-7, especially for use by airborne troops. Thanks to jet nozzles located between the warhead and the fuel compartment, it can be fired from inside of a building or a vehicle. Design phase In 1971 in the Polish Military Institute of Defense Technology a program codenamed “Argon” was begun. The goal of the project was to develop an anti-tank grenade launcher with a single use launch tube, which could supplement the RPG-7 launcher. Two versions were considered: a recoilless rifle and a rocket-propelled grenade launcher. The rocket variant was chosen because earlier experience gained during the development of the rocket assisted PGN-60 rifle grenade used by the Carbine-grenade launcher Kbkg wz. 1960. At this stage apart from the team of Polish scientists (Z.Zborowsk ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |

IS-B Komar
The single-seat Kocjan Komar (Gnat) intermediate trainer, designed in 1932, was the leading and most produced sailplane in pre-war Poland. Production was resumed after World War II as the IS-B Komar and it remained in use until 1965. Development Antoni Kocjan designed the Komar in 1932 as an intermediate trainer. Built by Warsztaty Szybowcowe (WS) (), the prototype first flew in March 1933 and an initial batch of four more followed. Its handling and cross-country performance proved excellent and WS moved to serial production, with sixty more completed before the Germany, German invasion in 1939, along with another twenty by SWS at Bielsko and unknown numbers built under WS licences in Bulgaria, Estonia, Finland, State of Palestine, Palestine and Yugoslavia. Some early structural failures were traced to a maximum diving speed of only , easily exceeded in cloud, so in 1937 Kocjan responded with the strengthened and slightly heavier Komar Bis which also included a cockpit better ...

Komar Mass
The Komar mass (named after Arthur Komar) of a system is one of several formal concepts of mass that are used in general relativity. The Komar mass can be defined in any stationary spacetime, which is a spacetime in which all the metric components can be written so that they are independent of time. Alternatively, a stationary spacetime can be defined as a spacetime which possesses a timelike Killing vector field. The following discussion is an expanded and simplified version of the motivational treatment in (Wald, 1984, pg 288). Motivation Consider the Schwarzschild metric. Using the Schwarzschild basis, a frame field for the Schwarzschild metric, one can find that the radial acceleration required to hold a test mass stationary at a Schwarzschild coordinate of ''r'' is: :a^\hat = \frac Because the metric is static, there is a well-defined meaning to "holding a particle stationary". Interpreting this acceleration as being due to a "gravitational force", we can then comp ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |

Komar Superpotential
In general relativity, the Komar superpotential, corresponding to the invariance of the Hilbert–Einstein Lagrangian \mathcal_\mathrm = R \sqrt \, \mathrm^4x, is the tensor density: : U^(,\xi) =\nabla^\xi^ = (g^ \nabla_\xi^ - g^ \nabla_\xi^) \, , associated with a vector field \xi=\xi^\partial_, and where \nabla_ denotes covariant derivative with respect to the Levi-Civita connection. The Komar two-form: : \mathcal(,\xi) =U^(,\xi) \mathrmx_= \nabla^\xi^\sqrt\,\mathrmx_ \, , where \mathrmx_= \iota_\mathrmx_= \iota_\iota_\mathrm^4x denotes interior product, generalizes to an arbitrary vector field \xi the so-called above Komar superpotential, which was originally derived for timelike Killing vector fields. Komar superpotential is affected by the anomalous factor problem: In fact, when computed, for example, on the Kerr–Newman solution, produces the correct angular momentum, but just one-half of the expected mass.
