There may be some Ponzi aspects to US Federal budget, but that isn't it. How is transferring money from workers to non-workers is reminiscent of a Ponzi sceme in any way? There's no imaginary wealth being created, it's just a transfer of we

Excellent new look that reminds us that the Stars are not spinning. Yes they are. A reminder that we need to get off this spinning rock asap. Why?

Phones merging more and more with PC's. I've made a promise to myself that HDMI-out is a must for my next Android phone (currently I have HTC EVO 4G which has one, but is unusable as a phone since I'm in Europe). This is even better, at lea

the stall warning system uses a completely different set of sensors (they measure the airflow over the wings, looking for signs consistent with a stall) AFAIK stall warning system uses AoA vanes, located on the nose close to static system

Steganography doesn't hide existence of communication, it hides/obscures existence of messages in it. Important distinction.

bullshit reply again? perhaps you can show at least ONE incident that happened because "third world pilots rely too much on autopilot"? I'm genuinely interested, 'cause I'm aviation enthusiast and haven't heard of any.

Because the VSI doesn't use the pitot tubes? IIRC, it uses a gyroscope. [Confirmed: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2595230 ] Not really confirmed. Even that post says (read carefully): The attitude, turn, and heading indicators re

Mind you, that rock would be larger, although much less massive. Is it possible for something like that to blast off material from the star? I doubt it. Second neutron star on the other hand... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PSR_J0737-3039

I wonder if you could accurately measure airspeed acoustically, instead of using pitot tubes and pressure? For instance, suppose you placed microphones near the trailing edge of the front wings, and near the leading edge of the rear wings.

exactly! to OP: For example: "If you get simultaneous overspeed and stall warnings and your VSI is deeply negative, you are in a stall and need to ignore the overspeed warning and execute stall recovery procedures." Actually, when I word i

You might be able to, but I imagine the calculations will be very complex and readings will be highly unreliable in anything but ideal conditions and constant speed level flight. But yes, I think the conclusion after AF447 investigation is

exactly! Let's imagine a plane starting take-off roll. Engines are spinning up to full throttle (99-100% of thrust), but airframe just started to accelerate slowly. Compensating for anything is pretty useless in this case - airflow trough t

by borism 15y ago
BTW, I imagine a pitot tube placed on the body of the engine would not need extra heating and would be very unlikely to ice. You can even place it inside the exhaust and compensate the reading for engine flow. There are such things in the
