Meet Cora-Working Electric Autonomous VTOL Plane
An all-electric, autonomous aircraft sounds like an excellent tool an AI could use to keep you safe. Tools are already being developed to keep you fed.
Why Bitcoin Is Not Working
behind the dollar is an aircraft carrier

Two of the best combat aircraft ever made.
Alex Jones Says Star Wars Is 'State-Funded' Propaganda
Do I have to watch it? This vid, I mean?
Star Wars is about rebels fighting a powerful empire that governs the galaxy. It glorifies taking down the establishment by a group of (well funded) gun-toting terrorists.
I suppose you could draw a parallel to the American war of independence against the British...
But in a modern context this would be like a group of domestic insurgents blowing up an aircraft carrier ("Death Star") while staging an armed rebellion against the US government (now a subsidiarity of "Gov-co," a joint venture of the Disney, Viacom, Lockheed Martin, JP Morgan Chase, and Koch Bros. companies).
Simply put, that's just not going to happen.
--------------------------
edit: Okay I just watched the above clip. That guy made even less sense than the BS that I just made up.
Largest Turboprop in the world Antonov AN 22 Manchester
There was an interesting comment on this vid by Valentyn Mykolajovych, from Antonov,
which as far as I can work out (without speaking Russian) means something like:
Russians doing sketchy sh*t
If this is from Russia, I think they're tourists. Russians don't use parachutes. They'd climb down that vertical cable using their balls.
Also, I think this cable set up is for catching low-flying aircraft trying to sneak, nap-of-earth, during the cold war. Either that or it's the World's most epic rope swing.
Canada Air Takeoff - Close Call
Since this happened in France I don't think the fact the aircraft were manufactured in Canada is sufficient for the Canada channel.
Canada Air Takeoff - Close Call
Those are Canadair CL-415 water bombers.....
https://aviation-safety.net/wikibase/wiki.php?id=199266
A CL-415 amphibious aircraft sustained damage during a water takeoff.
Two CL-415 were lifting off the surface of a lake when one of the aircraft contacted a mast of a barge with the left hand wing, according to a video posted on YouTube.
The aircraft reportedly returned to land.
For the lieutenant colonel Bernier from the Office Manager communication of the direction of the Sécurité Civile : " The wing of the Fire-fighting plane is damaged, it will be unavailable for several weeks, there were projections on two barges, fortunately without making of wounded person.
They are experimented and confirmed pilots who knew well the stretch of water. They managed to fly up to the base of Nîmes. The pilot and the co-pilot are shocked, they were suspended as a protective measure and are going to be examined by a specialized doctor who has to make sure that they are in capacity to re-fly. "
Air Canada plane’s near-disaster at SFO
Those two pilots will probably never fly a commercial aircraft again after the investigation.
The negative outcome would have been horrific.
Its bad enough when two aircraft strike one another like in the case of KLM Pan Am Tenerife Accident (1977), the worse aviation disaster in history:

If the Air Canada pilots didn't start their go around when they did they probably would have taken out 2 other aircraft at a minimum.
Thats one very bad day at work for those 2 pilots.
The LA Speed Check
If you visit NYC, be sure to check out the Intrepid Museum (it's an old aircraft carrier with lots of planes and a space shuttle).
What a *quality story.
I love that plane. An absolutely stunning piece of *engineering.
Emirates Airlines recycling Champagne?
Yup; they are not re-using; she's cleaning up before departure; they will keep the flat champagne in the bottle to discard later into the drain or transport off the aircraft.
Dirty flutes will go into the wash tray.
It may be a disposal issue. https://goo.gl/QM3Txg
Arresting Cable Snaps During E-2 Landing - USS Eisenhower
The pilots interviewed afterwards:
As for what happened, H/T to Ohforfoxache from LiveLeak for the following:
In The Cockpit, Landing A 737 In Strong Winds Looks Insane
Yep,
This is a difficult landing and there are tonnes of corrections happening, but you would see the same type of corrections on any landing (just not as many).
And it doesn't matter the size of the plane either. I have been in a float plane multiple times and the same type of corrections happen on landing with that aircraft.
Take offs are mostly a breeze. Get your speed, pull up and and you are on your way. Landings are what those guys are paid for.
I'm pretty sure there's lag between the controls and the surfaces.
Why Planes Don't Fly Faster
There is so much wrong with this video I don't even know where to start. First, there are only two types of aircraft engines, piston and turbine. When a turbine is used to drive a propeller, it's called a turbo prop. When he is talking about turbo props, he shows pictures of a piston driven propeller aircraft (Cessna 41x), and piston engines are the most common type of engine used on propeller driven aircraft, not turbo props.
He mostly gets it right about turbo jets, except again, every aircraft he shows when talking about turbo jets uses a turbo fan (the F-15 and F-16 both use afterburning turbofan engines). They get their thrust from the hot expansion of exhaust gasses, but he gets it wrong with turbo fans, which get most of their thrust from the bypass air from the fan.
