At Bridport, you can either stay on the X53 or get off the open top X52 to continue your adventure on the X53 to Lyme Regis, known as ‘The Pearl of Dorset’, where a walk on the promenade is an absolute ‘must’, maybe some shellfish if you’ve still an appetite after lunch. There are cafes, shops, pubs, inns and restaurants at both ends of the seafront. Boat and fishing trips run from the harbour. A walk along the famous Cobb is a must, and of course, a trip to Lyme Regis would not be complete without trying your hand at some fossil hunting! Watching the sun go down or setting is one of the most memorable of atmospheric views on this incredible journey, a trip that isn’t just scenery but also provides a vital connection with charming and beautiful Dorset villages and towns, offering opportunities to hop-on and off for fabulous exploration, no more so than the historic seaside town of Lyme Regis, nestled in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty at the point where the rugged West Dorset and East Devon coastlines meet, at the heart of the Jurassic Coast.

From Weymouth in the east to Lyme Regis and Axminster in the west via West Bay and Bridport, the Jurassic Coaster is the bus that provides unrivalled, stunning, spell-binding panoramic views over this spectacular coastline. What’s more, from 23 July 2023, the X52 Jurassic Coaster is an open top bus service between Weymouth, Abbotsbury and Bridport, so folk can breeze along, enjoying fresh air and sun rays bouncing off the sea! For an enclosed experience, the X53 takes the same route but winds its way through deepest Dorset countryside as it continues further to Axminster.
Zillmer, S., "Integrated Multidisciplinary Optimization for Aeroelastic Wing Design", Wright Laboratory TR-97-3087, August 1997. The pre-production version of the F/A-18 was an ideal aircraft for proving AAW technology, a relatively high wing aspect ratio for a fighter, with adequate strength, but no additional stiffness needed to be added to change its twisting behaviour. The X-53 F/A-18 was modified to allow two leading edge control surfaces to work together with its two trailing edge surfaces to control wing aeroelastic twist and provide excellent high speed rolling performance. Lian-Li introduced the new Galahad II Trinity series of AIO liquid coolers this year in a variety of models and configurations. If you are looking for something that offers great performance and sports plenty of RGB lighting, then the new Galahad II Trinity SL-INF 240 should satisfy your needs. This version comes with Lian-Li's SL-Infinity 120mm RGB fans that are just loaded with RGB lighting all around. It even comes with infinity mirror effects, on the main fan hub and both sides of the frame to give a unique look, and like most Lian-Li fans they can be daisy chained easily for better cable management. Even the pump-head can be customized with three deferent caps bundled in the box for a unique RGB look.Edmund W.

To test the AAW theory, NASA and the USAF agreed to fund development of a single demonstrator, based on the F/A-18. Work started by taking an existing F/A-18 airframe modified with a preproduction wing, and added an outboard leading edge flap drive system and an updated flight control computer. Active aeroelastic wing control laws were developed to flex the wing, and flight instrumentation was used to accurately measure the aeroelastic performance of the wing planform. Flight software was then modified for flight testing, and the aircraft first flew in modified form on November 15, 2002. [4] The aircraft successfully proved the viability of the concept in full scale during roll maneuver testing in 2004–2005. The test aircraft was re-designated X-53 on August 16, 2006, per memo by USAF Deputy Chief of Staff, Strategic Plans and Programs. [1] Specifications [ edit ]
Journey Overview
Development of the initial concept was done with wind-tunnel testing in the mid 1980s under Air Force contract. [1] The designation "X-52" was skipped in sequence to avoid confusion with Boeing's B-52 Stratofortress bomber. [2]
