I am a flight instructor and have seen this many times when teaching stalls.

PC = Personal Computer. Yes, Apple sells PCs.
How many magazines of 7.62 will it take to knock down a shirtless dude this time? Will I again be fighting enemies with the accuracy of Olympic marksmen and eyes in the backs of their heads? Will the instability of my character manifest itself in the form of a mental breakdown every 20 minutes which can only be…
Looking at the cockpits, you can see features that are 100% knockoff or stolen info. No original thinking in those parts. The handles, the pipe-thing at the tip of the canopy (a latch, maybe), the circular golden object to the left. They are all directly influenced by the F-22.
When Apple gives a department something to create - a motherboard, for example - they give the employees assigned to work on such parts a goal with a list of parameters. They are only left to imagine what product (if any) it could be for. They know of nothing else: not the camera, nor monitor, nor chassis it may be…
Old planes aren't really the problem. Engineers also optimize modern engines for 100 and 100LL Avgas.
Agreed. I fly in Alaska, and I have low altitude routes between populated areas where I can receive signals. That buzzing on the comms can severely limit understanding of what other pilots are saying. The more people use their phones, the more buzzing I get. If someone is at the same altitude and location that I am,…
Test pilots experience a similar level of responsibility, are risking their own lives, and see their families every day... but they don't have the same problem that the drone guys have (to my knowledge)
Forget that. It's likely X-Plane 10 will come out in August
Their shift assignments vary often enough that one cannot plan a sleep schedule around the job. Even though they learn of their schedules well in advance, the day to day changes are nothing that people can easily adjust to. I'm not sure how it is in the big leagues, but as a pilot of small aircraft, I'd rather land…
@lobs: as far as I know, that's the safest way to do a BASE jump from low altitudes. It's too low for a packed parachute to be opened with time to spare (the pilot chute isn't going to catch enough air at low speeds). Jumping with the parachute in your hands risks a snag on the object and some other potential opening…
@Brightmotor: Judging by how shaky your camera was after takeoff, I don't believe the runway is as rough as the video made it out to be.
1) Awesome render.
@Zgradis: Helicopters are fuel hungry enough as it is. Putting a turbofan in back to replace the prop may do some good in terms of speed but will eat so much fuel that the vehicle wont be practical.
If they put Bluetooth in it, it would make for a kickass watch.
@r33brooks: After about 25000 feet on a clear day, the air is so dry that icing is not a concern. Also, the surface has to be below freezing before ice accumulates on it, which means the box could've gone a considerable distance in below freezing air before it was cold enough for ice to form on it.
I'm $130k in the hole for training at a university. Upcoming regulations will require us to have 1500 hours and an Air Transport Pilot certificate to enter the right seat of a regional airliner.
"More open like a Mac"? Is he fucking serious?
@enlargedhousecat: when quality cameras can be positioned there without interfering with the shooter's sight.
