:The relativ atom masses are to handel (addit) with (g/mol=x*10^-36) for the exactly molecularmass, divide it by the number of atoms and verb they paralell to the exactly ratio you want. You can to addit the sames atoms before do the paralell verbs.
It is a kind of magic sure.

Very impressive, especially at dusk. The terms JATO and RATO are used interchangeably to describe this event and related equipment. Jet implies air-breathing so you would expect to call it RATO for rocket-assisted takeoff, however according to NASA, the word jet can describe combustion gases issuing from a reaction engine, i.e. rocket. So it becomes semantics as to what you call it. Either way, it sure gets your attention, I was lucky enough to see it once.
No Big China give little america money!! There will be no little america army in the world!! U.S is a big day dreamer, always ask Big China for money for their Alien porject!! U.S must say BIg China is their big DADDY!!
hey idiots.....especially ""retired navy somthinortheother"that thing its a "show plane " with an advanced runway assist device istalled so it can mock a rocket ship type takeoff for the kids at the airshows ,its a lot of fun but you would never see it in regular service ,its a one off ,i was named after curt watson ,a blue angel from crossville tennessee,my home town.I also installed an icemaker in his moms house,yep,i hang my hat on that little moment....its really that pathetic...
@jcedozer Fired simultaneously, the JATO bottles allow the mammoth transport aircraft to takeoff within 1,500 feet, climb at a 45-degree angle, and propel it to an altitude of 1,000 feet in approximately 15 seconds. Getting Fat Albert airborne in minimal time and distance simulates conditions in hostile environments or on short, unprepared runways....Source from official Blue angels............Idiot calling others idiot's
hey idiots.....especially ""retired navy somthinortheother"that thing its a "show plane " with an advanced runway assist device istalled so it can mock a rocket ship type takeoff for the kids at the airshows ,its a lot of fun but you would never see it in regular service ,its a one off
@jcedozer It's real and they are rocket's for jet-assisted takeoff (JATO), it helps it take off from short distance's on war type scenario's that would have small runway's....lmao runway assist device, mock rocket ship XD
They ran out of JATO bottles and no longer do this. The last JATO take-off was at the Blue Angels Homecoming Airshow in Pensacola, Florida at their homebase on November 14, 2009 at 3:17 pm. Got a great shot of it!
@computer305 They used rockets like this but facing the opposite direction. The idea was that when they fired them on landing it would slow the plane faster on shorter airstrips. Like in the middle east
I love how this is just failed technology, developed to be used in a special ops mission, to get the hostages out of iran, but the C130 broke apart on a training exercise..(operation credible sport btw..)
@razor005 They are turboprop engines. It has what's called JTOL, or Jet Assisted Take Off. Basically huge ass rockets hooked on to the sides. They don't use them anymore, which is a shame.
@336kgf Did the Marines on Fat Albert quit using the JATO rockets? I have not been to our local shows since the homecoming 2009 show @ Sherman Field. That really stinks if they are not going to show off those awesome rockets anymore. Amazing how 8 rockets can equal the power of an extra turboprop engine on the C-130.
@korfus yes they stopped using them I was at NAS Pensacola home of the blues this saturday for the show.They probably need to save them and the money for whats going on over seas atm.Fat Albert still got up pretty fast though it isn't as cool without the rockets but oh well..My grandpa spent 51 years in the navy and was an executive at corry station 2nd in command an helped design most of the buildings there.He said they need to save them for money and over seas missions If I heard right.
@legend1617 Yeah, I talked to one of the Marines on Fat Albert, he said they used their last JATO "bottles" a while back, but were looking around for more if they could get them. I told him about the company that refurbs the bottle, like the ones on the TV show "The Master Blasters", and he said he'd look into it. I am also a hobby rocket designer and builder.
@SuPrAmAd101 Dear Sir, My step father flew the 130 in Vietnam, as well as the E-2 Hawkeye on carriers, and a number of other planes. He refers to those pods as "bottles" which makes me think they are a disposable add-on rocket. I've seen them used every time the Angels do a show, and, to me, it's almost more exciting than the sneak pass. Best, SJD
they only have enough left for a half season so they decided to end it all together instead of having to choose what airshows to perform at. These jato tanks are vietnam era and have been stockpiled since.
Yurbxudmas: They never do JATO in the air, is fairly redundant at that point. They only use the JATO rockets during takeoff, and then only during performance takeoffs as they aren't exactly cheap, they wont use them if they don't have to.
I got to see Fat Albert sept 6th and 7th at the Toronto Air show...the emcee really took a very long breath with the faaaaaat albert part....very cool though
