The X-15 set speed and altitude records in the 1960s, reaching the edge of outer space and returning with valuable data used in aircraft and spacecraft design. As of September 2016, the X-15 holds the official world record for the highest speed ever recorded by a manned, powered aircraft.
RE: What does the spanish word &quot;vato&quot; mean? I am reading a novel right now where one character keeps calling the other &quot;vato&quot;, however, when I went to babelfish to get a translation, it said vato means &quot;I beat&quot;. Somehow I don&#39;t think this is the context that the word is being used in.
Volt-ampere (VA) is a measurement of power in a direct current ( DC ) electrical circuit. The VA specification is also used in alternating current ( AC ) circuits, but it is less precise in this application, because it represents apparent power , which often differs from true power . In a DC circuit, 1 VA is the equivalent of one watt (1 W). The power, P (in watts) in a DC circuit is equal to the product of the voltage V (in volt s) and the current I (in ampere s): P = VI. In an AC circuit, power and VA mean the same thing only when there is no reactance .
