It doesn’t look like they printed the rotors. It’s hard to find real concrete info but it looks like they added cavities to other parts of the engine for active cooling and/or increased strength to weight, which is more of a well expl

Mostly. Ironically the most popular civilian fighter jet is a Soviet era Czech design (the aforementioned L39). Even in the US though, they are relatively limited in where they can fly and require an experimental aircraft authorization. It’

A popular turbofan with civilian fighter jets is the TFE731 with 3,500–4,750 lbf [1] and can be fitted to i.e. the L39 Albatross trainer jet. [2] Supersonic jets like the F5 might use something like the GE J85 which produces a base 3,500 lb

Do you want an HN flamewar? Cause that’s how you start an HN flamewar! :-) The warp factor table at [1] makes absolutely no sense. Enterprise (the show) warp 4.6: 90 light years in 4 days. Voyager warp 4.7: 10 light years in 3 weeks. Enterp

Thank you for the link, I wasn’t aware that PIA allowed spoofing the identifier. Maaaybe it’s more ethically/morally questionable [1] but I don’t think it’s a legal issue. Reading more on the PIA, it still require the owner to have the

ADS-B allows planes to track each other during flight so they don’t crash into each other. It is public because that’s the point: to broadcast their location publicly. All those FAA rules do is mask it in their own public data set that they

IANAL so correct me if I’m wrong but it looks like Musk has a decent chance of getting SLAPPed back [1] to kingdom come. Twitter may be a private entity but the lawsuit is clearly meant to stifle the distribution of public information. Now
