If this is achieved without afterburners (as I understand it is), then yes, this is an immense difference in fuel consumption and radically impacts the economics.

Yeah, terrible idea, except this is Daniel Bernstein, who already had an equally terrible idea years ago, and won. That victory was hugely important, it pretty much enabled much of what we use today (to be developed, exported, used without

Yeah. And Wind, Gas, Hydro, etc. Basically everything except fission, tidal and a portion of geothermal. Admittedly it's not a terribly useful classification.

That's exactly the point of RSS. Not an alternative channel to read the same one site you anyway refresh 40 times a day, but to keep track of the 200 sites which may only update sporadically

Indeed! I didn't want to call altitude into play since it tends not to vary too much between day and night in the same place :)

It's for air temperature. Warm air is considerably less dense, which raises the takeoff and landing speed of planes (for a given weight), up to unsafe levels, in addition to requiring a longer runway.

That may very well be true - but they won't go to great (or any, really) lengths to make users' lives easier unless they see a competitive advantage in doing so, or are forced by (threat of) regulation.

Unfortunately this does not work automatically - it requires carrier side support. It will hopefully be widespread one day, but it may be years still.

The price of a 60KWh Model S was substantially lower than the price of a 75KWh one, and Tesla had economies of scale by just building 75KWh packs and using them everywhere. It was not an unreasonable value proposition for the end user, but

Cylindrical cells also leave space for cooling (and heating!) channels when you assemble them together. Some companies tried to pack them more efficiently and then realized you NEED the cooling channels to avoid thermal runaways, fires, pre

The price is actually also a choice of the vendors. Some of it is actual economies of scale, returns on R&D and cost of manufacturing, but some is certainly a deliberate choice of where to position the product on the market. They build

This is only true when: a) You use a smaller sensor (while this is the norm, mirrorless does not absolutely imply APS-C vs Full Frame) b) You use smaller lenses (same disclaimer as above) and, above all else, by far c) You deliberately crip
