Turboprop planes are able to take off and land on shorter runways and austere airfields. This is important because cargo often needs to be delivered to places that lack infrastructure, either due to a war, a natural disaster, or because the infrastructure never existed in the first place.

Most of the planes on these tickets were the tried and true 777-300ER.

Seriously who the hell thinks up this shit. Hilarious.

For nuggets (rookie carrier pilots), it's probably the most difficult thing besides brain surgery. Even with experienced pilots who have built up muscle memory from hundreds of landings would never call it routine.

The F-35 makes me want to be a fighter pilot. The plane and its development program is unbelievably expensive, but it has some side benefits- Among many others, it's helping to inspire a new generation of pilots, engineers, and developers, both in the US and in China.

You can hack the dash cluster on any 99-04 Ford Mustang to display real time gauge data in the odometer readout. You can scroll through info such as Speed (in tenths of miles per hour), RPM, Coolant Temp (Celsius only), Volts, Fuel Level (in a hexadecimal scale from 0 on empty to 255 full).

I kept my original 5 speed shift knob in my 99 Cobra after I installed a T-56 6 speed from an 03 Cobra, mostly because I was cheap and lazy. 2 observations: 1: People get confused when I'm in 6th gear on the highway because it looks like I'm in reverse all the time. 2: I have to draw out a diagram of the shift

Ugh, I hate going to the Apple store. People get crazy in there on a daily basis. And you have to sit with them at a round table while you wait for the appointment you scheduled days in advance to get your phone fixed. I hate listening to the stories everyone has about why their phone is awesome and all the stupid

People asked the same thing when mirrors first appeared on the scene. "What happens when someone comes up with a baseball bat and bashes my mirror in?".

Why does every single pro street vehicle have to be yellow?

This is a real Crown Vic and Caprice from the future.

Anyone remember the movie "Mission to Mars"? Gary Sinise drives an electric convertible VehiCross in the scene where we is arriving to the backyard party before launch. They even added an electric motor whine sound effect so there would be no mistake about what lies under the hood.

Looks like they took a hint from Samuel L Jackson!

I'm gonna say...a Fox-Coyote 5.0 to 5.0 swap. That is, a 420 HP DOHC 5.0 motor from a '11 up Mustang GT (Referred to as a Coyote motor) into an 87-93 Mustang (Referred to as a Fox body). Other similar swaps could include a Fox-RoadRunner 5.0 swap that uses the slightly more powerful 444 HP 5.0 from the Boss 302

Speak of the devil. Here's a picture of a V8 focus wagon. The stance on this thing is what really sticks out. Look at those fat wheels on the back! Here's a link to the rest of the gallery:

Edison regarded Tesla's AC current as the "Killing Current" so the public would be afraid of it and use his own DC current instead. He even killed animals to demonstrate the dangers of AC current. Here's a video where he killed an elephant with a few thousand AC volts.

Whatever it is, they need to figure out something new and fresh that no one else has. Find a new breakthrough, whatever it takes.
