This video of the Starship touchdown is INCREDIBLE -BUT- Ship 11 did not hold up as well as I initially thought. This thing was literally cooked. Nose on fire. Tiles missing everywhere. Lots of damage near flaps and burnthrough on tank. How reusable would this be?

HYPERSONIC CYBERTRUCK Over the break some of my students put a (scale) Tesla Cybertruck in our Mach 7 wind tunnel UT San Antonio This video is “schlieren” visualization that shows the shock waves (white lines) and other flow structures Put one on a Falcon 9 now Elon Musk? $TSLA

You’ve likely heard of V/STOL (vertical and/or short take-off and landing) but what about BTOL (backwards take-off and landing)? The F-35 is truly an incredible flying machine and this shows how the US continues to innovate!! Let’s see the Su-57 do that!

I’m intrigued by the Beta Alia-250 electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) concept: ✅Fully electric, 450+ km range ✅Cruise at 270 km/hr ✅50 min recharge time ✅1/10 noise level of helicopter ✅6 passengers ✅Already multiple test flights Will this tech “take off”?

Incredible look at the Crow Instability behind an F-15! You see the wingtip vortices interact with the wake/contrails from the engine and turn into those ring-shaped (toroidal) features Beautiful fluid dynamics! HT Bryson Sullivan 🇺🇲 & Jonty

Good visualization for the “why are jet engines harder than rockets?” crowd. Those little blades deal with scorching temps and high pressure—consider too the J-79 here is an old one There’s a reason more countries can make nukes than jet engines
