A barrel roll can be done at 1g wing loading if executed correctly. Test pilot Tex Johnston famously did a barrel roll in a 707, demonstrating that it can be done in aircraft not built for high-g maneuvers.

Temporary, I’m sure. The normal $100,000 mil-spec battle tested ramps must be on back-order.

I would love to have one of these when I’m sitting in my car waiting on something. My Audi A4 beeps at me even if the car isn’t in drive... super annoying if you’re just hanging out in your car for whatever reason and it’s too hot or too cold to turn it off.

Gag gag, and gag. Grits are for savory, oatmeal is for sweet. This should be the 4th law of thermodynamics or something.

This is precisely why I’m waiting until I finish my thesis to upgrade. Hopefully my computer doesn’t decide to attempt the upgrade on its own..

Maybe no ABS? Looks like an older Explorer or something. The 98 Mustang I had a while back didn’t have ABS.

I see this so often.. literally makes me cringe every time. Especially when it’s a nice new car.

I went through a weight lifting phase 3 years ago and tried pretty much all of the above (since switched to marathoning and enjoy it much more). Of them all, I hated pre-workouts the most and didn’t use more than the handful of samples I had. Always made me feel out of touch with how much weight I was lifting and felt…

Ok, this has gone on long enough. I don’t understand why you are so persistent despite your obvious lack of understanding of physics and engineering principles. See figure above. It uses a free body diagram to show that net forces on the aircraft are still sufficient to accelerate up to takeoff speed. In short, the…

But why? If you’re going to the effort of going from turboprops to turbojets, you might as well add an actual bomb bay and doors. If if you’re doing that, you might as well just start from scratch anyway.

Kind of a weird way of putting it, since there aren’t any treadmill runways... but I know what he’s getting at. If the entire runway were a treadmill, a plane still wouldn’t have a problem taking off in the opposite direction, the wheels would just be spinning twice as fast.

“amazing team, transformative vision, incredible alliances”, and simply put, that they “are really fast.”

I can just imagine bosses having a controller that summons people on command. Or having it connected to Outlook so it takes you to meetings listed on your calendar.

I agree, but most (city) drivers have already mastered the light double-tap horn for those situations.

That would be more of a function of angle of attack, not g’s. The angle of incoming air would be much different between 2.5gs at low speed and 2.5gs at high speed.

Not necessarily, it’s not a cut-and-dry matter. Some technologies require a much larger investment in R&D to be successful. Take fusion reactors for example. Most power companies would go bankrupt if they tried to research fusion reactors.

True, which can be annoying for the few bikers who do follow the rules (me).

I think the reduction of chance that you’ll get a serious brain injury makes it worth it, regardless of how it may adjust the statistics of number of accidents.
