I also see a lot of Regulus 2 in the comic aircraft:

There’s also the F-15 Quiet Spike, another NAS experiment on changing aircraft structure to reduce sonic boom.

Spartan, I would assume. Unless someone is shipping waterslides and other amenities for other cruise ships in containers. As usual, Youtube is your source.

I’m a little unclear. The builder is going bankrupt, but wouldn’t it be in the interest of the company who commissioned her (Dream Cruises) to take delivery of the hull and uninstalled components “as-is” and have another shipyard complete her? Sounds like Dream Cruises is also in financial trouble (surprise,…

The author made it sound unusual that the airplane could scoop up water from a lake. That’s actually very common for amphibs and seaplanes, with the exception of the Mars, which is just too bonkers big to make that work well. The CL-215 and CL-415 can do this, as as well as the AT-802F.

Dunno about this situation, but Ever Given was affected heavily by heavy side winds and a tall structure that gave those winds ample area on which to operate, which overwhelmed the control authority the ship had.

I think that the peak can certainly be debated, but the IRL cars were always ugly, and by the time that Champcar went spec (2003), even those cars started looking too generic for my taste. The post-airbox DW12 certainly reversed the trend, but there’s still a ways to go.

It wasn’t bad, and kept many of the lines, but was a little generic in my eyes compared to the cars of the ‘90s.

My takeaway from this - Indycars started looking not so hot in the early ‘80s, got more beautiful, peaked in 1993, and went downhill from there . . .

Some places just have a strong impulse to assume homicide whenever any sort of accidental death occurs. I remember Senna’s death; that was treated as a homicide, and Adrian Newey and Patrick Head faced  a trial for manslaughter, although they were ultimately acquitted.

Usually, the airline dispatchers do the weight and balance calculations for each flight.

And if you had to pick a specific flat 6, I’d go with the watercooled (and confusingly named) Type 935 that equipped the Porsche 956 and 962, leading to wins in ‘82-’87 and ‘94.

I know that Porsche is represented here with the 917 flat 12 and the VW boxer, but the flat 6 dominated for so long at Le Mans, both in GTs and prototypes, I think it warrants another entry on the list.

I’m about to watch the Blancolirio channel’s coverage of this - Juan Browne is a professional ATP pilot usually a pretty thorough reviewer of the NTSB findings on his YouTube channel.

Power’s drive from last to third was astounding.

Sorry for my ignorance, but where did you see him interview someone?

What we see here is that there are a few routes/carriers for which it works as airline traffic returns post-COVID, and they can fulfill their requirements from existing stocks. I don’t see many airlines clamoring for the resumption of its production.

This is because the term “toe clip” far predates clipless pedal systems and refers to what another person called “cages.” The piece in the shoe is called a “cleat.” (see below for reference - a vintage bike shop and a modern bike shop)

We need to be careful with our terminology. Toe clips (and straps) (Pull back to get out of, and can get hung up on shoes with treaded soles, which is what appears to have happened to President Biden):
