I thought this was fake but it’s 100% real This is the new Jetson ONE, it’s a single seater drone aircraft that lets you fly around like you’re one of The Jetsons It’s designed for flights up to around 30 minutes and can reach over 100mph on some models It would be wild if this was the future of short distance travel

This is what flying through a hailstorm looks like from an Airbus A320 cabin over Paraguay in an absolute emergency. There are five ways pilots can tackle a thunderstorm while airborne: 1. Fly around 2. Fly over 3. Divert 4. Fly under 5. Fly through In that order. Flying under and flying through are both dangerous options, although flying under can be slightly safer depending on the storm. Jet engines are actually tested and certified for hailstone ingestion. The rest of the aircraft, maybe not. On weather radar, color codes are used to represent different intensities of precipitation and weather conditions: Green: Light precipitation, such as drizzle or light rain. Yellow: Moderate precipitation, indicating heavier rain or snow. Red: Heavy precipitation, such as thunderstorms or intense rain. Magenta: Extreme precipitation, often associated with severe weather, hail, or severe turbulence. 📹: Omegasix

The Saint Paul Police Department has been using unmanned aircraft systems, or drones, since 2023. This technology provides officers with real-time information from above an active scene. Now in 2026, we’re expanding our drone program to help all first responders. Our team of trained drone pilots can now provide a live thermal view above a fire – allowing the Saint Paul Fire Dept to identify hot spots and develop the best plan of action. There are now two drone options: • A Saint Paul Police officer, who is also a trained and authorized drone pilot, can respond and launch a drone at the scene. • Or we can deploy one of our three new docked drones. Docked drones are remotely piloted, can be on scene in less than 3 minutes, and being to relay real-time information to responding officers or firefighters before they even arrive. These tools are improving public safety, reducing response times, and leading to better-informed decisions and better outcomes for everyone in the City of Saint Paul. • Learn about our Docked Drone Program and other public safety technology tools, plus view our interactive flight dashboard, policies, and more: • Read more via the Pioneer Press:

.Bob Allen practicing a V1 cut in our Westwind II today. There’s only one 1124 sim in the world - so we do our training in the actual plane! A V1 cut is an engine failure after V1 (takeoff decision speed). It means we’re past the point where a rejected takeoff is safe or possible, therefore we must take-off on the remaining good engine. All pilots practice V1 cuts on large multiengine aircraft, but usually in a simulator. We do it as part of every recurrent Checkride on the big jets, but it’s extra trippy doing it for real! That said, the “failure” is really just one engine being pulled back to idle thrust, so it’s available IF necessary. Notice - it’s barely even an event in the hands of a skilled professional pilot. Rudder is applied to the side of the good engine, directional control is maintained, and the aircraft is rotated into a climb at V2 while the non-flying pilot retracts the gear and the flaps. The “issue” and subsequent troubleshooting/shutdown procedures are delayed until the aircraft is at a safe altitude.

Following the Delta A330-323(N813NW) engine failure after departure from São Paulo (GRU), many are asking: what actually happens if an airliner loses an engine just after takeoff? As passenger in the cabin watching this scenario unfold, the panic is understandable. Seeing flames from an engine is alarming. But this is exactly the kind of scenario pilots are trained for repeatedly in simulators. Modern multi-engine aircraft are designed to fly safely on one engine. In fact, losing one engine is a certification requirement during testing. Here’s what happens: At liftoff, pilots target V2 speed—the minimum safe speed that guarantees the aircraft can continue climbing even with one engine inoperative. If an engine fails: • The MASTER FIRE warning light will illuminate in the cockpit and the fire warning bell will sound, alerting the pilots on the affected engine (they will close the fuel, hydraulic shutoff, and engine bleed air valves, and also discharge the related fire bottle to extinguish the engine fire). Of course, they will be careful NOT TO shut down the wrong engine (this has happened before). • Maximum thrust is applied on the remaining engine. • Rudder input keeps the aircraft straight (countering asymmetric thrust) • The aircraft climbs straight ahead for best performance (turns reduce climb rate unless required) Once above a safe altitude (typically ~1,500 ft / Minimum Flap Retraction Altitude(MFRA): • The aircraft accelerates • Flaps are retracted (“cleaning up”) • Crew assesses the situation and plans a return or diversion Even at very low altitude, the aircraft remains controllable by design. It may not climb aggressively, but it will climb. Bottom line: What looks catastrophic from the cabin is a scenario pilots are highly trained to handle—and aircraft are engineered to withstand. Hope this helps any nervous flyer. Flying is safe, and the chances of this happening have reduced due to lessons learned from previous incidents. And if you ever find yourself in this situation, trust that the pilots will act according to their training—because that’s their job.

‼️To destroy the hundreds of Russian drones that attack Ukraine almost every night, Ukraine’s air defense uses every possible method. For example, Soviet, propeller-driven aircraft such as the Yak-52 are used - they are cheaper than the drones themselves. The destruction of Russian Shahed drones critically depends on the skill of both the gunner and the pilot. It’s extremely dangerous, because the gunner must open the cabin in flight to fire an assault rifle at drones that are only a few hundred meters away. The problem, the gunners say, is not so much hitting the drones as finding them. An onboard radar would be too heavy for the very aircraft. After all, it wasn’t built for war - it was meant to train pilots. Even its propeller is wooden. At the same time, what this aircraft lacks in technical sophistication is more than offset by its price. Older Yak-52s can be bought in Europe for €50,000. Glory to our Defenders! 🇺🇦 📹: DW

#WATCH | Ahmedabad Plane Crash | Former Union Minister of Civil Aviation, Praful Patel says, "It is a very tragic and a very sad day. We are all very concerned and worried that such an accident has taken place. Our condolences to the victims and their families. I hope for the speedy recovery if there are any survivors...This accident - how and why it took place, is a very surprising thing because 787 Dreamliner is a very technically advanced aircraft. There are thousands of Dreamliners flying all over the world by many airlines. There is no reason to doubt about the aircraft itself. If the accident has taken place, only the black-box will reveal what is the real reason, why things went wrong. The Captain did give a 'Mayday' call but we must also remember that the aircraft flew from Delhi to Ahmedabad and obviously there was no snag, otherwise the Captain would not have decided to fly from Ahmedabad to London which is a very long flight and there is no reason to even consider because the Pilot would have done pre-flight checks. On every flight, there is a pre-flight check and between the Captain and Second-in-command do all the checks to ascertain whether the plane is fly-worthy. So, in this case, for a 9 and a half hour flight, everything was in place. What went wrong only an investigation can reveal."

End-to-end neural networks racing drones in Abu Dhabi! 🚁 Check out the drone racing team from Delft University of Technology! A completely end-to-end neural network solution, from pixels to direct motor commands. No Kalman filters. No computer vision feature detectors. Just neurons flying the drone. The challenge is extreme. These drones fly at high speeds and need split-second decisions with minimal onboard resources: a single rolling-shutter camera and an IMU. Their approach is called SkyDreamer, based on the Dreamer-v3 reinforcement learning algorithm. First, a world model is trained in simulation. Then, the neural network learns how to fly in its dreams through reinforcement learning. The network's internal state can be read out to see where it thinks it is on the track or how fast it's going. Even better, the drone estimates some of its own body characteristics during flight, like the camera angle relative to the body, eliminating time-consuming manual calibration. The system uses only a single camera and the gyros from the IMU, ignoring the accelerometers, just like human FPV pilots do. ~~ ♻️ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news →

🇺🇸🇮🇷 America is running out of the weapons it needs to fight Iran, and that could make Trump take even more dangerous gambles. Geopolitical analyst Brandon Weichert says Trump has invested too much politically to walk away without extracting major concessions from Iran. Iran, meanwhile, believes time is on its side. It sees rising energy prices, pressure on U.S weapons stockpiles and growing regional instability as leverage. Neither side wants to blink first, and that's where the real danger begins. Brandon argues that if America can no longer sustain a prolonged long-range missile campaign, the Pentagon's answer won't necessarily be restraint; it may be escalation. Instead of striking safely from a distance, U.S aircraft could be forced to operate closer to Iranian territory in an effort to destroy missile launchers, underground facilities and command networks, but there's a problem. Nobody can say with confidence they know where all of Iran's launch sites are, and no one can guarantee they can eliminate them. Every mile American aircraft move closer increases the danger to U.S pilots. That's what makes China's reported shipment of hundreds of portable air-defence systems to Iran so significant. Those weapons matter far less when American aircraft are launching from long range, but they matter a whole lot more if U.S jets are forced to fly lower and closer to their targets. Brandon's warning is that Washington may soon find itself trapped between two options: Accept a strategic setback... Or escalate into a much larger war using fewer long-range weapons, more exposed aircraft and no clear path to eliminating Iran's ability to fight back. That's why he believes the most dangerous phase of this conflict may still lie ahead. Brandon Weichert

🚨 BREAKING: House Republicans are now launching an all-out SURGE of another reconciliation bill — to pass MAGA policies with ONLY 50+1 votes in the Senate, rather than 60 The reconciliation could include anti-FRAUD measures as well GOOD! Load it up with common sense! 🇺🇸 "We can't count on Democrats for ANYTHING. I would love to pass something that's bipartisan...but because Democrats are obstructing the Department of Homeland Security and holding up the funding for DHS, we know that we can't count on them!" "So reconciliation seems to be the only path that we can get the rest of Donald Trump's agenda done, that we can pass things that are good for the economy, good for our military, and good for our security." "We have a good framework. We're going to continue to push. We do think that there are several items, including exposing and getting rid of the fraud that has plagued our country in places like Minnesota, California, and Illinois." "We have a good bill that I think we can press forward and need to spend the coming months getting that done." Rep. August Pfluger

‼️‼️‼️ Big News – Ukraine has developed an AI-integrated automatic anti-aircraft weapon called Sky Sentinel, specifically designed to counter Russian Shahed-136 kamikaze drones. The system is capable of detecting and neutralizing both small aerial targets and high-speed cruise missiles. It has already proven effective in combat conditions, with dozens of Shaheds successfully destroyed. The system is equipped with a 12.7mm M2 Browning heavy machine gun, 360-degree thermal and day/night vision cameras, a laser rangefinder, and a dedicated AI-powered targeting and processing computer. Its integration with SENTINEL radars enables automatic detection, tracking, lock-on, and precision elimination of targets—earning it the nickname “Shahed Hunter.” How the system works: Once a target enters the engagement zone, the AI processes data from the laser rangefinder, including altitude and speed. When calculations are complete, the operator receives a confirmation on the monitor that the target is locked. The operator then presses a button to initiate a precisely timed burst from the M2 Browning. A short spray of bullets is enough to intercept and down the Shahed drone with direct fire. Each Sky Sentinel unit costs approximately $150,000. To effectively defend a city, around 30 such systems are required. Mass production is currently underway.

Pilot sounds alarm over Transport Canada’s sweeping new medical privacy mandate ✈️ Tamara Ugolini 🇨🇦 Not only does the policy represent a sweeping infringement on personal privacy, but its rollout was rushed and secretive, done without consultation or meaningful notice. On December 9, Transport Canada quietly introduced a new mandatory privacy notice and declaration tied to pilot medical examinations, then made it effective the very next day. With no advance warning or stakeholder consultation, roughly 60,000 licensed pilots across Canada were suddenly required to consent to the collection and review of their most sensitive personal health data or risk losing their medical certification; with it, their ability to fly. One commercial pilot says the scope and coercive nature of the policy raise serious privacy and civil liberty concerns that extend far beyond aviation. “There was no lead time. There didn’t appear to be any stakeholder consultation,” he said. “Our union was very surprised by it. Even Transport Canada doctors were surprised—they didn’t know it was coming.” Unlike the previous declaration, described as a short, focused paragraph, the new notice authorizes access to an expansive range of medical information. This includes laboratory results, pharmacy records, and entire medical record systems, without clear limits on timeframe or scope. “It says ‘including but not limited to’ and then proceeds to list everything I can personally think of when it comes to medical health,” the pilot explained. “There’s no start date. There’s no end date. And it authorizes Transport Canada to collect information from third parties, which also aren’t defined.” The implications are largely unprecedented. It means that theoretically, anyone, past or future, could access a pilot’s entire medical history. Since health data cannot be reset like a credit card, its value on the black market is staggering. The partially anonymous pilot stresses that his objections are not about evading medical scrutiny. “We care deeply about fitness to fly and public safety,” he reiterated. “This isn’t about getting out of proper screening. It’s about proportionality, oversight, and consent.” What has further fueled distrust is the timing and method of rollout. It was done during the Christmas season, when there is limited staffing at both Transport Canada and pilot unions, and was buried in dense, fine-print government documentation. “If you don’t sign it, your medical is discontinued,” the pilot said. “You don’t get stamped. You don’t fly, anywhere in Canada. That’s coercive pressure when your livelihood is on the line.” Transport Canada has since circulated a revised privacy notice, narrowing third-party access and softening language around suspensions. However, pilots organizing through argue the revisions still leave the door open to unacceptable data overreach. Federal MP Dan Albas has formally called for the policy to be suspended pending a full privacy review, citing both the lack of consultation and the magnitude of the data being demanded. For the pilot who spoke out, the issue extends beyond aviation. “If this were another industry, I’d still be concerned,” he said. “We need to think about the trajectory. If this is a test case for broader biometric or medical surveillance, Canadians should be paying attention.”

The Dallas Police Department’s new Drone as First Responder program officially launched today with eight remotely piloted drones based at Dallas Fire-Rescue stations across the City of Dallas. These drones are operated out of the Fusion/Real Time Crime Center and are designed to respond to calls for service in a two-mile radius from their base station. The base locations were selected based on heat maps of calls for service for both police and fire, placing them where they can potentially respond to the greatest number of calls. The pilots will be able to get to the scene quicker than in a squad car and begin to provide real-time intelligence and feedback to officers, as well as reduce the level of response or clear a call entirely if the incident has resolved. If a pilot sees a call in a drone’s response area where aerial intelligence can enhance officer safety, they can deploy a drone to provide critical updates to officers at the scene. Each drone is equipped with a thermal camera to help during nighttime operations, as well as a loudspeaker to make announcements to individuals on the ground. “I challenged our team to find innovative ways to continue improving our response times, and this new drone unit will not only keep officers free to respond to more calls, but provide real time updates as they are responding to calls,” said Dallas Police Chief Daniel Comeaux. “Even during our training, our pilots were able to clear three holding calls in an hour with one drone. That alone proved their value to us, and I’m looking forward to seeing the benefits in both officer safety and response times.” Our public safety partners at Dallas Fire-Rescue will also be utilizing the Drone as First Responder program, with training for pilots underway. Under the new program, in the event of a reported structure fire, a drone will be dispatched to the scene ahead of arriving apparatus. This real-time aerial perspective will allow incident command to assess the size, scope, and intensity of a fire before firefighters even step off the apparatus. “Dallas Fire-Rescue is proud to collaborate with DPD on any initiative that will make our city safer,” said Justin Ball, Chief of Dallas Fire-Rescue. “By strategically docking the drones at our fire stations in high-demand areas, we are optimizing our response times and ensuring our tactics are more precise, while adding an extra layer of protection for the city.” This collaborative partnership between police and fire departments represents a major step forward in using smart-city technology to protect both residents and first responders.

The Dallas Police Department’s new Drone as First Responder program officially launched today with eight remotely piloted drones based at Dallas Fire-Rescue stations across the City of Dallas. These drones are operated out of the Fusion/Real Time Crime Center and are designed to respond to calls for service in a two-mile radius from their base station. The base locations were selected based on heat maps of calls for service for both police and fire, placing them where they can potentially respond to the greatest number of calls. The pilots will be able to get to the scene quicker than in a squad car and begin to provide real-time intelligence and feedback to officers, as well as reduce the level of response or clear a call entirely if the incident has resolved. If a pilot sees a call in a drone’s response area where aerial intelligence can enhance officer safety, they can deploy a drone to provide critical updates to officers at the scene. Each drone is equipped with a thermal camera to help during nighttime operations, as well as a loudspeaker to make announcements to individuals on the ground. “I challenged our team to find innovative ways to continue improving our response times, and this new drone unit will not only keep officers free to respond to more calls, but provide real time updates as they are responding to calls,” said Dallas Police Chief Daniel Comeaux. “Even during our training, our pilots were able to clear three holding calls in an hour with one drone. That alone proved their value to us, and I’m looking forward to seeing the benefits in both officer safety and response times.” Our public safety partners at Dallas Fire-Rescue will also be utilizing the Drone as First Responder program, with training for pilots underway.

💬 “Nations can speak about their pain from stages like this, but even during bloodshed there isn’t a single international institution that can truly stop it. That’s how weak these institutions have become. The facts are simple: stopping this war now – and with it, the global arms race – is cheaper than building underground kindergartens or massive bunkers for critical infrastructure later. Stopping Putin now is cheaper than trying to protect every port and every ship from terrorists with sea drones. Stopping Russia now is cheaper than wondering who will be the first to create a simple drone carrying a nuclear warhead. So we must use everything we have – together – to force the aggressor to stop. And only then do we have a real chance that this arms race won’t end in catastrophe for all of us. If it takes weapons to do it, if it takes pressure on Russia – then it must be done. And It must be done now. Otherwise, Putin will keep driving the war forward – wider and deeper. Don’t stay silent while Russia keeps dragging this war on – please, speak out and condemn it. Please join us in defending life, and international law and order. People are waiting for action”, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський stated at the 80th Session of General Assembly Debate 🇺🇳

What does Qullamaggie's account look like after the market has been rising for 2-3 months? "Yeah I’m a fund manager, 32 positons, but most of these like I’m up a lot on these, like 1/3 stuff like BABA no headache only have to look at like once per day, then maybe 1/3 are tiny micro cap pump stocks that I think can double/triple and most of these I have my stops at or above b/e so these are not headaches either, then there are some stuff I initiated today but that’s like 3-4 positions, but most of these are low energy positions. Like two months ago I had 5-6 positions and I’ve been slowly building, now I have a bunch of long/shorts, that’s always what happens when the market goes on a run like this, it could be a sign of an immediate pullback, bc my positions always peak before a pullback, around the 30 number, always been magical in that way for the past couple of years."

Elon Musk on Starship today: "The fundamental breakthrough of Starship is that it will be the first orbital rocket that is fully reusable, so this might sound like an obvious thing, but because in every other mode of transport, whether that's aircraft, cars, bicycles, horses, ships, these are all we take it for granted that they are reusable, an aircraft journey would be very expensive if you had to throw the plane away every time, and that's how rockets have been in the past, but it's very difficult from a technology standpoint to achieve full reusability for a rocket. We've got part of the way there with Falcon 9, but we'll get all the way there with Starship, and once you achieve full reusability, then it's simply a cost of access to orbit is just the cost of propellant, because now you can reuse all aspects of the vehicle, and the propellant we used for Starship is liquid oxygen and liquid methane, which is the cheapest propellant you could possibly get. The cost of propellant for Starship will be less than the cost of jet aviation fuel, which means that you should be able to actually send cargo to space for less than the cost of cargo on an airplane going on a transoceanic trip."

Help this post get enough attention so we can close this loophole Electrical Contractor in Florida breaks down exactly how illegals are able to exploit a legal loophole to get paid for working in the United States “I'm a small business owner. I'm a licensed electrical contractor in the state of Florida. The only way that I can hire an undocumented worker is illegal. I either pay them cash or they provide me fake documents showing that they have a Social Security card or they have some sort of work permit that's fake. That's the only way. But there's a loophole: Let's just say that the employee is Pedro. So Pedro comes in and says, hey, how about I use my LLC because I have a lawn service or a carpet cleaning service or whatever. And Pedro forms Pedro LLC. He gets workers comp exempt because he's the only employee and you don't need workers comp if you're a self employed individual. So now he just has liability insurance. And liability insurance is pretty cheap for carpet cleaning. So now I can pay him from my corporation to his corporation to his LLC. And the only thing that I'm required to have is prove that he's got liability and workers comp. I didn't pay in payroll taxes. I didn't pay workers comp. I didn't pay any of that. He didn't. He didn't have to worry about labor laws. I don't have to pay him overtime. He doesn't have to make minimum wage. It's just an invoice from a corporation to a corporation and that's how it's done. So don't tell me there's no cash in contracting. There's no cash in construction. It's just a loophole from corporation to corporation.” - Illegals are not required to be citizens or have any legal status to form an LLC in America - They just need to apply for an ITIN number from the IRS - All you need for the ITIN number is a foreign birth certificate or foreign identification documents They do this quick, simply loophole and illegals can then get paid to work in America

Ukrainian commander of the unmanned systems regiment Achilles, Major Yurii Fedorenko, on the battlefield of 2026: “In 2026, we will see a completely different battlefield. The line of contact—from zero out to 20–25 kilometers toward the enemy and toward us—will become a maximum gray zone, where our infantry will be present in a dispersed, non-continuous manner. Without infantry, war is impossible. Everyone else will be working to ensure the infantryman’s ability to survive in these harsh conditions of a total kill zone. In short, these are the key issues today: radars that have recently appeared, interceptor drones, and fiber-optic drones. These are the game changers of 2026. But, friends, there is something important to say here. When we run a recruitment campaign, I do not promise that you, drone operators, will be sitting with a hookah in a cocktail bar, flying missions from somewhere in Kyiv—although there are units that can operate remotely. The enemy also has a task for 2026: to separate their engineers and flight crews. What does this mean? Their engineers will be positioned as close as possible to the line of contact, equipping drones and munitions and changing batteries. The pilots, meanwhile, are supposed to be located in a safe place. Why is that? The issue is not only survivability—Russia has enough manpower. The issue is money and accumulated flight expertise. Everyone knows that a pilot is trained for four months, and with every sortie he becomes better. There is no final level a pilot reaches to become an absolute guru; he will always continue to develop. The same is happening with us.”
