You are right. I was mostly simplifying the description for NOT aeronautical engineers. But you are absolutely right.

Very true. I never said the turbine is not a marvelous piece of engineering. But it DOES provide very little thrust.

Turboprops indeed fight wing tip vortices. But they also have a problem of not being able to shape air properly like Turbofans can do with stator vanes and such. As you stated, ducts are awesome.

Great question. Turbo props and turbo fans, both produce thrust, but very differently. In a turbofan, the turbine spends most of its effort turning the compressor blades. In a modern turbofan (TF) engine like GE 9x, you are looking at a 80-

This is a very nice demonstration of turbojet. While it has not been claimed as such in the video, this is how most of the modern airplanes DO NOT work. Modern airplanes use turbofans which has an extremely high bypass ratio. In a turbofan,

Was able to get a Model S my friend bought in 2021 into limp mode when I took it to track after 3 laps. I believe the battery overheated after the 3rd lap. In the mean time, my STi was driving in circles for the next 20 or so laps.

I have got both a corded and cordless Dyson vacuum. For my high pile carpeted floors, I find that the battery powered one just does not have sufficient power even though the brush design is better than the corded one. In general, I have com

I have tried the Shavette thing, but in my opinion they stand somewhere between the Gillette and a cutthroat straight.

Analogue computers are fun, and faster (in some instances) for my use case. I still regularly use E6B for in flight calculations, an analogue flight computer, although I fly a glass cockpit.

Can't you do that with Apple configurator by creating a profile and installing it on their phones? It is clunky though.
