Ich Spiegel mich im Chromteil eines Triebwerks

Könnt ihr euch an das Tam Tam erinnern als für die Asklepiosklinik Selent ein Liniendrohnenflugstrecke eingerichtet worden ist? Tja. Die Drohne scheint jetzt gegen eine Stromleitung gekachelt zu sein... 🔥 🚒

Bristol Scout C flies past at an air display. This is a modern build to original standard incorporating several original components.

CANARDS! :-D

Piaggio P180 Avanti II N5760 on final for San Jose International Airport Today, Wednesday November 27th, 2024

@TerryHancock kind of cool futuristic. but loud very very loud and distinct. You know what coming

The landing gear looks spindly lol

USN F/A-18F of VX-9 "The Vampires" on the downwind leg before landing at NAS Pt. Mugu August 2023 Thick marine layer at 1:05 PM and the sun trying to burn through made things interesting to shoot

Ever since my dad started playing MS Flight Simulator he insists on referring to places by their three letter international airport codes. I'm both impressed and saddened by this.

nice comparison and description of how they work, how efficent they are and when

NKAWTG...... No one! Tankers small to large: #7 USAF KC-10A takes the option at Travis AFB, August 2022

Haha! Can't believe it worked!

Side view of a small, rather ancient-looking helicopter flying from right to left above a grass airfield.
The helicopter is covered in an olive green and brown camouflage scheme, with red "Beware rotor blades" text below the upturned-bucket cockpit.
There is black "Army" titles and the serial "XL814" on the tail boom, as well as a red block with white text "Danger" and a white arrow pointing to the spinning tail rotor.
It is flying just a few metres above a grass field, with bushes and trees in the distance, under flat grey sky.

On This Day 27th June 1992.

G-BMPL, Edgely OA.7 Optica, taxiing out for a display flight at the annual Woodford Air Show, 27th June 1992.


Side view of a single-engined light aircraft taxiing from right to left along a black runway.
The plane is mostly white, with an engine inside a large shroud in the middle, looking much like a jet engine, with wings sticking out from the side, long twin boom extending from the rear of the wings carrying the tail.
The black registration "G-BMPL" is shown on these booms.
The cockpit is a complex, heavily glazed ovoid, almost a classic rear-drop shape, sticking out from the front of the engine shroud, and giving the plane an almost insectoid appearance.
Lush green grass lines the runway in the foreground, with more grass in the background leading up to trees in the distance, under hazy grey skies.

What is it with idiots hearing of toroidal props, that always get's them thinking "I know! I'll 3D print a prop and compare it to a bought one to learn if toroidal is any good!"?

1. different material with different density - your motor is moving different masses
2. 3D printing gives you rough sourfaces - meanwhile your traditional props have clean surfaces, because injection moulded
3. you'd need to compare geometries with similar properties - so same thrust at similar speed, while creating similar load for the motors

the internet is full of stupid people.
