29 X3D Models | X3D Model Descriptions | |
---|---|---|
Aircraft Fuselage | The main fuselage of a Blue Angel, created with an Extrusion node and the image of a F18 cockpit attached to it. | |
Blue Angel Engines | The engine and tail parts of a Blue Angel. Future development plan: add exhaust smoke. | |
Blue Angel Engines Medium LOD | The medium Level-of-Detail (LOD) of the engines and tails is shown from the point of view of 600 meter distance. They do not include US Navy insignia. | |
Blue Angel F 18 | F/A18 Hornet-type aircraft model, called the United States Blue Angel. This model has canopy and gears animation, which operate individually. | |
Blue Angel F 18 Example | The BlueAngelF18 example model integrated with ExternPrototypes - clicking any axle starts animation, such as, raising or lowering landing gears simultaneously. Clicking cockpit canopy makes it open or close. | |
Blue Angel F 18 Stand Alone | F/A18 Hornet-type aircraft model, called the United States Blue Angel. This model has canopy and gears animation, which operate individually. | |
Canopy | The cockpit canopy which was originally a Harrier the Av8b's canopy modified for a Blue Angel canopy. When this canopy is clicked, it animates to open. | |
Canopy Example | Animation example from Canopy Prototype. Clicking canopy triggers animation for open and close performance. | |
Canopy Prototype | This prototype performs canopy opening and closing. | |
F 18 Cockpit Seat | The pilot seat in cockpit of a Blue Angel. | |
Fuselage | The upper part of the fuselage of a Blue Angel. The model is created with an Extrusion node. Yellow BlueAngel pattern is created with an IndexFaceset attached to top of fuselage. | |
Horizontal Tailplanes | The Horizontal Stabilizer, which can be used in concert with pitch control or differentially for roll control, acting as "tailerons" for enhanced roll performance. | |
Hub | The hub is used for WheelsFront, WheelsRearLeft and WheelsRearRight. | |
LEX | The sharp-edged, cambered leading-edge extensions(LEX), slots at fuselage junction and outward-canted twin fins designed to produce high agility and docile performance. | |
Twin Vertical Tails | The Vertical Stabilizer of a Blue Angel. The twin vertical tails of the F18 are necessary to offset the vortex flows coming off leading-edge extensions(LEX) of the wings. | |
Wheels Front | The front wheels and axle perform an animation of raising or lowering when user clicks text. Wheels spin when a cursor is over the wheels. | |
Wheels Front Example | An animation example of front wheels and axle Prototype. Clicking axle triggers animation for gear up or gear down of wheels and axle performance. | |
Wheels Front Medium LOD | The medium Level-of-Detail (LOD) of front wheels and axle. This LOD will be shown at the point of view of 600 meters. It does not include any animation. | |
Wheels Front Prototype | This prototype performs raising and lowering front wheels and axle. The clickable axle triggers an animation based on the boolean. | |
Wheels Rear Left | The left side rear wheel and axle perform Gear Up or Gear Down animation when user click the text, and wheels spin when a cursor is over the wheels. | |
Wheels Rear Left Example | An animation example of rear left wheels and axle Prototype. Clicking the axle triggers an animation for gear to go up or gear down on rear left wheels and axle. | |
Wheels Rear Left Medium LOD | The medium Level-of-Detail(LOD) of left side rear wheels and axle. It will be shown at the point of view of 600 meters. It does not include any animation. | |
Wheels Rear Left Prototype | This prototype performs the movement to raise and lower rear left wheels and axle. The clickable axle triggers an animation. | |
Wheels Rear Right | The right side of rear wheels and axle performs GearUp or GearDown when user clicks the text, and wheels spin when a cursor is over the wheels. | |
Wheels Rear Right Example | An animation example of rear right wheels and axle Prototype. Clicking axle triggers animation for gear up or down of rear right wheels and axle. | |
Wheels Rear Right Medium LOD | The medium Level-of-Detail(LOD) of right side rear wheels and axle. It will be shown at the point of view of 600 meters. It does not include any animation. | |
Wheels Rear Right Prototype | This prototype performs to raise and lower rear right wheels and axle. The clickable axle triggers an animation. | |
Wing Main | The main wing of a Blue Angel. Wings are Mid-mounted, semidelta with prominent leading edge root extension on sides of fuselage from the front of the cockpit. The U.S. Navy insignias are attached. | |
Wing Main Low LOD | The low Level-of-Detail(LOD)of a Blue Angels' main wing. The low LOD omits U.S. Navy insignia and is shown at the point of view of 1000 meters. |
