Join for our upcoming webinar tomorrow! During this webinar you will learn more about: ✅ The challenges associated with the transportation of windfarm equipment ✅ Off-loading of windfarm components at the harbour using mobile cranes ✅ Swept path analysis of special transport vehicles at the harbour ✅ Route pinch point analysis in 2D and 3D ✅ Vehicle and terrain conflict analysis using swept paths. ✅ How AutoTURN can further add value to your analysis of vehicle swept paths. https://lnkd.in/ekKb8T3s

Operational Modes “Landing” This mode provides the capture and track of the ILS beam (LOC and GLIDE) and ensures the following functions: alignment, flare and roll out. This mode is available for AP and FD. It enables landings to be performed in CAT2/ CAT3 operation. Therefore, the selection of the LAND mode authorizes the engagement of a second AP. The arming of the LAND mode enables the LOC and GLIDE modes to be armed on the lateral and longitudinal axes. When the aircraft is stabilized on the LOC and GLIDE beams: the AP/ FD guides the aircraft along the ILS beam to 30 ft. At this altitude, the LAND mode provides the alignment on the runway center line on the yaw axis and flare on the pitch axis. The ROLLOUT submode is engaged at touch down and provides guidance on the runway center line. As the LAND mode is latched below 400 ft, it can be deactivated only by engaging the GO AROUND mode. Actions on the FCU are no longer taken into account.

Always on the look out for good examples of how standards drive efficiency and improvement. I was struck by this section from 1931 re: electrification of the Pennsylvania Railroad. Standard pole spacing, top of mind for everyone I am sure, allowed PRR to order fewer types of poles, thus enabling greater pole standardization (from 150 to 15), and catenary hanger lengths (I will need to look this up to understand better). Any other good examples out there?

🚂 Reflecting on Technological Transition in Railways - The farewell of Missouri Pacific Railroad's last steam engines in 1955, as reported by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, signifies a pivotal moment in the history of rail transportation. This shift to diesel engines, capturing both the technological advancement and the sentimental journey of the steam locomotives, is a testament to the evolution of engineering and transportation. Dive into the full narrative of this historical milestone and its impact on the industry. 🔗 https://ow.ly/7xsk50RbvBy #EngineersClubStLouis

Want to find out more about the Shuttle Buggy? Get a cup of tea and read for a few minutes. The Shuttle Buggy® material transfer vehicle (MTV) is designed to “shuttle” between the asphalt haul truck and paver. Thermal and/or material segregation problems are eliminated thanks to the machine’s remixing action. The Roadtec Shuttle Buggy® MTV also allows continuous paving, which leads to a much smoother surface. The machine has a storage capacity of 25 tons (22.7 metric tons) in the main hopper, allowing the contractor to smooth out his truck cycles and reduce haul costs. Truck unloading capacity is rated at 1,000 tons per hour (907 metric tons/hour) and paver loading capacity at 600 tons per hour (544 metric tons/hour). https://lnkd.in/e6FVpAre
