GGC - Schempp-Hirth Janus (626 words) |
 | The Janus has a glassfibre monocoque fuselage with bonded-in foam bulkheads, and this is similar to the Nimbus 2's but the cockpit section is lengthened to accommodate the two pilots in tandem with dual controls under a hinged one-piece canopy. |
| Dual controls enable the Janus to be used for training and it is particularly suitable for cross-country instruction as it meets the requirements for a high-performance aircraft, complete with flaps and tail brake parachute. |
| First flown on 15th October 1977, the SL-2 differs from the Janus chiefly in having provision for 30.8 Imp gallons (140 litres) of water ballast in the wings and a fixed tailplane with elevators instead of a one-piece all-moving tail-plane; a more comfortable cockpit for the two pilots is provided, with provision for back-type parachutes. |
| Janus (1259 words) |
| The temple of Janus in Rome was situated in a street named Argiletum, an important road that connected the Roman Forum and the residential areas in the northeast. |
| Janus also has a temple at Rome with double doors, which they call the gates of war; for the temple always stands open in time of war, but is closed when peace has come. |
| When the senators have irrevocably decided for battle, the consul himself, a figure conspicuous in Quirine toga of State and Gabine cincture, unbolts these gates, and their hinge-posts groan; it is he who calls the fighting forth, then the rest of their manhood follows, and the bronze horns, in hoarse assent, add their breath. |
