In all fairness, between that episode and Picard, the Federation had extensive contact with the Ferengi.

They did put Moriarity in his own holo reality. Quite cruel after all. Not sure ehat happened to him, I didn't watch the last season of Picard. Also, the holodeck: Not only can the ship computers run multiple, basically self-aware Gene

Same with all those zombie scenarios. Quite conveniently, each and every film or series starts with patient zero, skips the part where the whole world order, society and whatnot collapses, and starts with our heros trying to survive in a po

There is an extremely thin, but important line between the exploitation of your labour force and using litteral forced labour provided by the government. Both things are despicable, yet they are not really the same.

Conventional airframes are not novel, building an aircraft is still incredibly hard so. Civilian super sonic airframes so are novel, nobody did that since the days of the Concord and its Tupolev clone.

The engines had AdBlue, tuey reduced AdBlue in the mix when not in inspection mode. Without AdBlue, there was no way to ever meet emission requirements.

Yeah, I know some of those engineering managers. They all work best in well-established, large orgs with people knowing the ins and outs of their jobs. The last time they actually developed something is quite a while ago. And managing engin

At least Lilium is at least a couple of years, and billions, away from having a product they can sell.

If they hired a propulsion guy from Boeing to develop a new super-sonic engine , Boom fucked up. Boeing, same for Airbus, doesn't develop or built engines, let alone super sonic ones. But dor sure, said Boeing hire will be royaly pa

Dieselgate started as far up the top of VWs fod chain as you can get: the CEO handpicked and protected by the god father himself, Ferdinand Piech. Well possible that Piech was involved in all of that as well. It started as a deliberate deci

One of the first thing an old hand told me in my first days on the job, in aerospace, was: If you have a part, but have no paper work you can match against the part that tells you what it is, you can throw the part away. So, never loose doc

It is also fair to assume the decision to not do additional testing of wire-only arrests was well analyzed by the respective engineering teams. Program management does not take decisions like this by themselves.

Of course there is no "aerospace only" alloy. There are a whole bunch of specialized alloys that get primarily used in aerospace so, and those are a far cry from your average construction material alloys (those get used to, but po

Looking at the image, and knowing designers assumed the cable would rebound before being cought by the hook, the original design of the hook itself makes sense: catch the cable in the air and make sure it doesn't slip down the hook. Ob

Not anymore, as it is quite a while I bought them. After all, it was just a P/N. Given that we had a full blown lab doing samples for all raw materials we bought to make sure tze alloy, heat treament and other properties were correct,

And you are sure about that? Because that would mean I purchased a lot of the wrong raw materials in my life, and if so I really, really should tell my collegues in engineering, procurement and quality control about it.

Those chemicals are a huge problem of epic proportions we created for ourselves here, that's true!

And yet Boeing became the posterchild, and but of jokes, for really bad engineering. And sold products that killed a couple of hundred people... Truely long term success for the company.

Thanks for providing a glimps at why those Boeing fuck-ups happened... Safety third, are ypu kidding me? I just hope you don't work on stuff that can kill people...

Any book about basic engineering is a good start, 101 course materials. Also, people with a mechanical, electrical, manufacturing, industrial, aerospace or other engineering background. Some of us are also on HN.

by hef19898 3y ago
Well, some of the materials used are special: aluminium alloys, titanoum alloyw, heat treatment, carbon fibers...

Rich, coming from the guy who's cars actually try to kill people.

If the Aircraft is 20 years old, you should worry a lot more about the airline's safety culture than the manufacturer's. Just saying.

Aerospace is all about process and safety so. And hell, Elon almost ruined Tesla with his drive to over-automate manufacturing. Getting to work 100s of suppliers, not all of which are directly managed by the OEM, together is happening all d

Well, seems he was somewhat mistaken after all, wasn't he?

Besides Chinese airliners having nothing to do with Boeings, or Airbus, marketshare, what is "maintenance value"?

In aerospace, saftey actually is the business model so?

PFAS are not natural, so I think we make all of that particular problem ourselves?

Seems to be as simple as a bunch of pressure sensors, in this case.
