I don't think "we're going to take away your vacations" is going to be a winning line, especially for essentially no payoff.

I'm a leftist hippy and have made changes to my life to help alleviate climate change. But I am baffled by the fixation that activists seem to have on airplanes. Aviation accounts for something like 3% of emissions globally. What'

And there were a lot more players in aerospace then too. Apart from Boeing and Lockheed, Apollo also involved North American Aviation, Grumman, Rocketdyne, General Dynamics, Pratt & Whitney, Douglas, TRW, and Bell. Of those, only Genera

Not only that but Stennis Space Center is nearby. It's no Cape Canaveral but it's not as though aerospace is completely unheard of there.

An increase in the frequency of clear air turbulence doesn't necessarily entail an increase in reportable accidents and incidents. The NTSB is only notified when a specific set of criteria are met. See 49 CFR Part 830 for details. If t

Autopilot not turning off is not a realistic scenario. There are multiple ways to turn them off, including cutting power entirely by pulling a circuit breaker. You'll often see a colored plastic ring attached to the AP breaker for this

Yeah, this sounds like classic somatogravic illusion. When you experience forward acceleration with no outside visual references, your vestibular system produces the sensation of tumbling backwards. The natural response in an airplane, it y

In aircraft, legal liability is unaffected by whether the autopilot is on; the pilot in command is responsible no matter what. I see no reason for cars to be any different.

I said the root cause. There is always more than one factor in an air accident. But if the ingot hadn't had an inclusion, none of the other factors would've mattered.

Unfortunately it's not enough for it to just be titanium. A hard alpha inclusion in an ingot used to make turbine blades was the root cause of the deaths of 112 people aboard United Airlines 232.

Tag Connects are great. I use them on all my boards. Small (I use the "no legs" version), no BOM item, and works beautifully.
