The British Bristol Brabazon had eight Bristol Centaurus radial engines paired in its wings. Each delivered 2,650 hp and powered contra-rotating props through gearboxes on four nacelles. They were the most powerful British piston engines of their era. What a time to be alive. 🫡

The Avro Shackleton MR Mk.3 was powered by 4 Rolls-Royce Griffon 57A V-12 contra-rotating piston engines, each producing 2,455 hp. The SAAF Museum at AFB Ysterplaat has a cutaway model that was recently restored, showing every piston, valve and cog working in perfect harmony.

Fragua is a polyphonic chaos synthesizer. Its nine engines are built on strange attractors — the same mathematics behind turbulence and weather — so every note breathes, drifts and evolves. Yet nothing is random: the chaos is deterministic, so a patch is repeatable, musical and entirely yours to shape. Layer up to four engines per key, modulate anything with anything, and finish it all through a built-in mastering chain.Patches arrive alive.

Four Afghan nationals rape a 17-year-old girl in Bristol. Their response? Laughing, joking, and flicking the V-sign in the back of a lorry as they try to scurry out of the country. They despise us. They prey on our young women. And they treat our laws as an absolute joke. This is the grim reality of the open-borders piety preached by the liberal consensus. Utterly sickening. Protect the British public, enforce our borders, and throw the book at this scum. Without apology.

One of the first aircraft to use electrical flight controls with no mechanical linkages, the Balzac 001 was an experimental VTOL aircraft developed by Dassault in the early 1960s. Built as a technology demonstrator for the planned Mirage IIIV supersonic fighter, it was powered by eight Rolls-Royce RB.108 lift engines and a single Bristol Siddeley Orpheus turbojet. The aircraft achieved its first free flight in October 1962 and completed the first full transition from vertical takeoff to horizontal flight in March 1963 but was destroyed in an accident the following year.

Former Pakistani Foreign Secretary Shamshad Ahmad Khan on the History of Pakistan’s Territories: These Punjabis and Sindhis were slaves first to the Hindus then to the British. They used to tell the British Don’t leave us, don’t go, we don’t want Pakistan. This is what they used to say. when elections were held in Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan, there was a democratic decision in favor of Pakistan. promises were made to them because the British had also separated these areas from Afghanistan. These were part of Afghanistan. Balochistan was part of the Iranian Empire at that time...

Austria-based startup CycloTech is developing flying aircraft powered by CycloRotor technology instead of traditional propellers. The company plans to build a four-seater air taxi with four CycloRotors, offering an 85 km range, 40 minutes of flight time, and a cruising speed of 150 km/h. Each CycloRotor uses rotating wings that continuously change their angle to generate thrust, allowing the aircraft to move precisely in any direction.

The Tri-Engined jet with four engines. The HS Trident was, obviously, a tri-jet, using three Rolls-Royce Spey engines. However, the final version of it, the 1969 Trident 3 - seen here in this video - was stretched for extra seating and range. And so what did HS do? They installed a fourth engine, a "booster" in the tail, a RR RB.162 originally intended as a lift engine for VTOL applications (the ill-fated Mirage IV was one of the few jets that used such an engine) With three or four engines, for various reasons - including the ever-present political mongerings in UK aviation, only axed with Airbus - the Trident was not a success, and only 117 were built. (Also, wouldn´t it be simple to change to different, more powerful engines? Unfortunately, it wasn´t possible on the Trident... so no wonder other customers opted for the more flexible 727 and DC-9)

Internet Computer’s Cloud Engines Bring AI-Powered Apps Without Human Input In a post today, the DFINITY Foundation (DFINITY Foundation) spotlighted a core advantage of its new Cloud Engines on the Internet Computer. According to the post, Cloud Engines enables AI to build and update production apps safely, without constant human oversight. Traditional clouds require teams to fix infrastructure hacks, downtime, and data-loss errors after AI-driven updates. Cloud Engines eliminates these risks through tamperproof protocol-level security and guaranteed uptime (even if nodes fail). The result: - Sovereign, always-on frontier cloud where AI agents create tamperproof SaaS directly on-chain. - No sysadmins. - No vendor lock-in. - Full ownership by the builder. Announced around ICP’s 5-year anniversary, Cloud Engines are designed for the AI era. This positions the ICP as the go-to decentralized cloud for the next wave of autonomous AI development.

Gnome Omega (1909) - The Engine That Spun Aviation Forward In 1909, the Gnome Omega became the first mass-produced rotary engine, marking a major breakthrough in early aviation. At a time when aircraft struggled with heavy, unreliable, and overheating engines, Gnome introduced a radical solution: instead of the crankshaft turning, the entire engine-cylinders and all-rotated around a fixed crankshaft. This spinning design dramatically improved air cooling, eliminating the need for complex radiators, while also delivering an excellent power-to-weight ratio-a critical advantage for the fragile aircraft of the era. The Omega quickly powered some of the most important pioneers of flight, including aircraft used by Louis Blériot during the early days of aviation, helping push the limits of what was possible in the sky. Rotary engines would eventually be replaced by more efficient inline and radial designs, but for a crucial moment in history, they were the cutting edge of flight technology.

🇹🇷 KAAN In the heart of Anatolia, where legends rise anew, Forged in steel and fire, the dream of KAAN grew. Silent as the night, deadly in its flight, A shadow in the sky, born to win the fight. KAAN, the eagle of our time, Rising in the sky, hear its engines chime. Stealth and power, unmatched might, Defender of the homeland, soaring into the night. Through the trials of creation, with iron will and pride, Engineers and warriors, standing side by side. With radar evasion, and weapons drawn tight, KAAN will lead the charge, in the battle's light. KAAN, the eagle of our time, Rising in the sky, hear its engines chime. Stealth and power, unmatched might, Defender of the homeland, soaring into the night. Through the skies of tomorrow, its legend will be told, A guardian of freedom, fierce and bold. With wings of innovation, and a heart of steel, KAAN will fight for justice, its enemies to unseal. KAAN, the eagle of our time, Rising in the sky, hear its engines chime. Stealth and power, unmatched might, Defender of the homeland, soaring into the night. KAAN, our shield, our spear, A symbol of strength, for all to hear. Through storm and battle, in dark or light, KAAN will rise, and claim the night. Song by Engin Yılmaz (Engin YILMAZ 🇹🇷🇦🇿🇪🇸) For the original video:

The British were the most cultured, militant, and successful people in history. They mastered ‘civilised violence’ to conquer a third of the world and rise as its apex predators. Now that the Empire is gone, where do they go from here?

Originally named "Tomcat", the Grumman F7F Tigercat was an absolute beast of an aircraft. Packing two Pratt & Whitney R-2800 Double Wasp engines, four 20mm cannons, and four .50 cals, it was designed to outgun and outrun everything in the sky. It clocked in at a blistering 460 mph, making it one of the fastest piston-engine fighters ever built. Probably better than the F-14. Sadly, it was in the wrong place, at the wrong time.🫡
