@boschbot Amazing but… The last thing a plane needs is more flex points. Airlines can barely take care of their rigid body fleets, let alone being capable of the additional work to ensure that all this additional components is in working/safe order

The Art of Flight is a homage to 80s/90s arcade action shmups with a fresh twist on the genre. Pilot multiple ships at the same time to take on oncoming waves of enemies in this fast paced space shooter. Wishlist on Steam today!

One of the more unusual aircraft designs of the early 1920s was the Gastambide-Levavasseur prototype, developed by French aviation pioneer Léon Levavasseur. It featured a variable wing surface that could change area during flight — a radical concept for its time.👀

BREAKING: Carney took his wife and daughter. The cost of in-flight food & hotel was $230,000+. For a short trip to the Vatican, from May 16-19th. That doesn’t include the flight, fuel, the pilots, security, salaries and the incredible amount of overhead. Meanwhile, food bank use is at an all-time high. This is out of touch. Abusive. And insane.

A preventable tragedy On This Day in 1967: Stockport air disaster (England). A British Midland C-4 [G-ALHG] crashes in Stockport, 72 of 84 aboard die. On a go-around, crew lost control after 2 engines failed. Investigation traced the issues to a known - but never addressed - design issue in the fuel system. More details here by ASN (video is from British Pathé) PROBABLE CAUSE: "The immediate cause of the accident was loss of power of both engines on the starboard side, resulting in control problems which prevented the pilot from maintaining height on the available power with one propeller windmilling. The loss of power of the first engine was due to fuel starvation due to inadvertent fuel transfer in flight. The loss of power of the second engine was due either to fuel starvation resulting from inadvertent fuel transfer in flight or to misidentification by the crew of which engine had failed followed by failure to restore power in time to the engine misidentified as having failed. Contributory causes of the accident were: (a) The design of the fuel valves and location in the cockpit of their actuating levers, so that a failure by the pilot correctly to position the lever by an amount so small as to be easy to do and difficult to recognize would result in inadvertent fuel transfer on a scale sufficient to involve the risk after a long flight of a tank expected to contain sufficient fuel being in fact empty. (b) Failure of those responsible for the design of the fuel system or the fuel valves to warn users that failure by a small amount to place the actuating levers in the proper position would result in inadvertent fuel transfer on a scale involving this risk after a long flight. (c) Failure of British Midland's air crew or engineers to recognize the possibility of inadvertent fuel transfer in the air from the evidence available in previous incidents in flight and contained in the fuel logs. (d) Failure of other operators of Argonauts who had learned by experience of the possibility of inadvertent fuel transfer in flight to inform the Air Registration Board, the Directorate of Flight Safety of the Board of Trade or its predecessors, or the United Kingdom Flight Safety Committee of the facts which they had learned so that these might be communicated to other operators of Argonauts and other aircraft equipped with similar systems and fuel cocks."

10 successful ignitions. 790 seconds of cumulative hot-fire time for the ARCOS Thrust Module. Our latest ARCOS TCA hot-fire campaign at the German Aerospace Center DLR - English marks a major milestone in the development of our in-house methalox thrust chamber assembly. The campaign demonstrated stable and repeatable operation across a wide operating envelope (60–105% thrust and multiple mixture ratios), validating a deeply throttleable core thrust module to be replicated across ARCOS’ aerospike architecture. Reliable ignition and shutdown, stable chamber pressure behaviour, and no critical structural damage were observed after testing. A key step forward towards full ARCOS aerospike engine assembly — and for Europe’s propulsion capabilities. A huge thank you to our team for always pushing the limits and overcoming every challenge along the way; and to German Aerospace Center (DLR) team for their continuous support and collaboration. #PoweringSpace

🚀 Breaking New Ground in Supersonic Flight! Carried by a Starfighters F-104 aircraft, last week GE Aerospace announced it has successfully completed supersonic captive carry flight tests of its ATLAS Flight Test Vehicle, marking a major milestone in advancing solid fuel ramjet (SFRJ) propulsion technology. 🌍✈️ The system reached supersonic speeds during three successful flights at Kennedy Space Center. This achievement showcases the potential of air-breathing propulsion to extend the range of munitions and paves the way for future high-speed systems. See more on how the team is continuing to evolve and grow the technology.
