Odds that we will continue to debate whether China will have a soft landing: 75 percent.
While the outcome cannot yet be known, failure to avert an economic "hard landing" this round would have widespread ramifications not only within China but also beyond its borders, as China's economic linkages with the rest of the world have multiplied and deepened since the last "near hard landing" episode in the 1990s.
And OLS will allow landing capabilities anywhere," said James McDowell, the AALC program manager.
For military operations, this necessary infrastructure leads to constraints on the mission by narrowing the landing options, costing the military time and money, he said.
Second, and more important, could helmets cause injuries when vaulters land properly in the landing mat?
Helmets, by current design and size, pose two very real dangers in the pole vault: (1) their increased surface area reduces the normal amount of head penetration into the landing mat during deceleration and (2) the outward protruding portion of the back of the helmet increases the leverage action against the neck by nearly two inches.
The pilot makes a 'hover-stop' call to the
landing signal officer [LSO], who helps talk the pilot down to a safe
landing.
In all, his spectacular
landing lasted about 0.24sec--a nice long time, as
landings go.
The HAC may have looked danger in the face on his approach to the
landing zone and survived, but he failed to recognize a repeat occurrence.
The top piece holds the pit together and distributes the vaulter's impact (upon
landing) over a large area.
"The
Landings is divided into four phases and includes the cleanup of blighted areas, demolition of decayed structures, the upgrading of infrastructure, and the construction of a thriving new waterfront community," explained Sam Gershwin, president of Westminster Communities.
