> However, the AC-AC transformers currently use a lot of Steel+copper. That's expensive. New developments will be pushed towards solid state alternatives which are theoretically cheaper (and exist today, but aren't widely used)

Long term, I agree. But we already have methane and methanol powered huge container ships. Much better than burning bunker fuel.

Use wind power to produce methane, then use methane to power huge container ships. Sailing by proxy.

How many 70 m span glulam road bridges have been built in those 100 years?

I don't know in what poor country you live, but in my country bridges are well maintained and I don't recall a single critical failure. Even though we're one of the poorest EU countries.

There are always unknown unknowns in trying new designs and/or materials. Even with all the simulations and calculations, nothing beats experience. Sure, novel things should be tried, but in a conservative manner. Overdesign first, the

Paint protects steel. A frequently painted steel bridge can last centuries. As always, lack of maintenance and poor design choices (use of corten steel) are the culprit.

> Plenty of poorly designed steel bridges from the 19th century have collapsed as well, despite the superior material. Disagree. In late 19th century steel girder bridges were well understood and many of them survive to this day. They w

In my country (in Europe) wage garnishment is handled by the government, so once you have the right to collect it is easily enforced.

It's not a timing difference, one ECU controls the left engine and takes input from left weight-on-wheels sensor, the other controls the right engine and takes input from the right sensor. This is by design, it ensures redundant operat

Nobody would waste 250 hours grinding a stone that cheap. It was obvious that there was error in audio transcript. Without any gemstone knowledge whatsoever, I guessed at least $40K.

I think you have misinterpreted the video. It was a pilot error to initiate go-around after the thrust reversers have been deployed. And software preventing engine to increase (reverse) thrust when it sensed that aircraft is no longer on th

You cannot operate fly-by-wire aircraft without computers, that's what I meant. Redundancy is name of the game, I see no problem in using cameras if they're made redundant.

This seems bit excessive, Concorde booms were purportedly about 105-110 dB on the ground when cruising at altitude (around 60 000 ft). I've personally only experienced sonic booms from MiG-21s. They are not painfully loud, but surely s

Supersonic is unusable over land anyway. This aircraft is designed for trans-oceanic routes, like US to Asia or Europe. Quite hard to build a railway over the ocean.

To be fair, they do need an alternate with a better visibility. But if the computers are not working, you're not in for a good time in a modern airliner anyway.
