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.

SpaceX President and COO Gwynne Shotwell on why Starship is revolutionary: “Starship is revolutionary, not just in size, but in its design to be fully and rapidly reusable. Like airplanes You don't use an airplane once and toss it. Rockets are used once and then they're thrown away This rocket is fully and rapidly reusable. You can launch it again and again, right here in Vermilion Parish, multiple times a year. But that's what it will take for humans to truly fly and go out and explore the stars”

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

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

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.

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.”

💬 “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 🇺🇳

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."

On Sunday, 9th August 2026, I pre-warned Jeff Koinange and the world the real reason and timing of Rigathi Gachagua's trip to the USA. Today, he confirmed that there are things he will do there away from interference by his gullible cult followers like Kaguchia and Methu. Need I say more? But there is a second reason. The only qualification for Mt. Kenya aspirants to get the DCP candidates is meeting the monetary threshold required. Ask Irungu Kangata who is already in trouble for only giving Ksh 2 Million unlike the exemplary Moses Kiarie Badilisha of Nyandarua who has set the benchmark with his generous Ksh 50 Million contribution. Now the only way to show joking aspirants this is not a joking matter is to move the delivery point to the USA. If you can afford to get a visa and air ticket then you are a good and serious candidate. Wheat must be separated from chaff, boys must be separated from men. If you have not secured a visa and booked a ticket, you are either a fool or naive or both. UYU MURIGO UKURIHIRIO THI. Bon Voyage Your Excellencies!

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."
