Software and automation have removed so many knobs, switches, and individual gauges. However, software has so many layers to monitor starting from the OS, the application, DB, and through to the network. Pics like this remind us just how lucky we have it and how far we've come. #software #tech #devops

In my opinion, the design of the Concorde's cockpit, necessitated by its streamlined front end, illustrates a significant compromise between aerodynamic efficiency and pilot comfort. The narrower cockpit and tightly packed controls, while essential for the aircraft's supersonic capabilities, likely created a challenging and potentially uncomfortable environment for the pilots. This trade-off underscores the complexities and sacrifices involved in engineering such a revolutionary aircraft.

𝐒𝐮𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐜 𝐀𝐢𝐫𝐜𝐫𝐚𝐟𝐭 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐭 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟒-𝟐𝟎𝟑𝟐. 𝐆𝐥𝐨𝐛𝐚𝐥 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡 𝐑𝐞𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭 The supersonic aircraft market refers to the demand and supply of supersonic aircraft, which are capable of exceeding the speed of sound. These aircraft are primarily used for commercial air travel and have the potential to significantly reduce travel times globally. The market is affected by various factors, including advancements in technology, fuel prices, and safety regulations. Some of the major players in the supersonic aircraft market include Boeing, Concorde, and Lockheed Martin Corporation.

Enjoyable visit to Aerospace Bristol today where the last Concorde ever to fly, registration G-BOAF, is preserved on public display. My first time ever seeing one of these incredible beauties. An absolute marvel of engineering. Times have changed a great deal since the 1960s when Concorde was designed, with the aviation industry now focussed on cost, economy, efficiency and sustainability, rather than speed and luxury. The remarkable speed of Concorde has been replaced with the efficiency and range of modern twin-jets such as the Boeing 787 Dreamliner and the Airbus A350, allowing smaller and medium-sized airports to grow their destination offering on routes with a ‘long and skinny’ commercial profile. Point to point is increasingly replacing hub and spoke made possible by the aforementioned models as well as earlier innovations such as the magnificent Boeing 757 which remains the workhorse of many Trans-Atlantic and Trans-Continental routes with American carriers today. Speed is much less of a consideration than it once was. Do you think we will see commercial supersonic aviation again? My prediction would be ‘No’. #aviation #engineering #technology

The Ground Vibration Test equipment was supplied by PRODERA for the GVT tests.The next step was the supply of the In-Flight Test equipment using Inertia Shakers and Pyro Technical thrusters.Special designed equipment was developed for the analysis of the data. Proud having participated as a young engineer at this unique program. #GVT #GROUNVIBRATIONTEST #MODALANALYSIS #MODALSHAKERS #PYROTECHNICALTHRUSTERS

The DC Designs/Just Flight Concorde is here! In this video I go through the steps of starting up and flying this aircraft, as well as look at setting up a flight plan from London Heathrow to New York JFK.

Boeing 777X Folding Wingtips System - Paris International Airshow, Jun 23rd, 2023 The Boeing 777X Folding Wingtips System developed by Liebherr Aerospace aims to reduce the Boeing 777X wingspan from 235 ft, 5 in. (71,76 m) in flight to 212 ft, 9 in. (64,85 m) on ground. The length of each wing tip is around 11,34 ft (3,46 m). A higher wingspan in flight brings a better aerodynamic efficiency whereas a lower wingspan on ground allows an easier integration on airports installations.

Look closely to see the Speedbird… Most of the Concorde fleet are in museums but if you look closely enough you will see one still at London Heathrow Airport. G-BOAB never left and if you zoom in on your phone’s mapping app you will see her over on the South Eastern side sitting next to a modern twin engine widebody jet (looks like an Airbus A350). She still looks sleek and fast, and you can get a sense of scale and size between the two types of aircraft. At the time of its development, Concorde was not only a testament to engineering brilliance but perhaps also pioneered the international collaboration that enables the incredible engineering innovation behind today’s aircraft? If you want to know more about Concorde, then there is a good documentary on BBC iPlayer | Concorde: A Supersonic Story Imagine what we can achieve today with the incredible engineering tools available to us and we continue to collaborate; what technology leaps will we make to move us forward in the future?

AURA AERO and Airbus Protect have joined forces to accelerate the certification and production of the #ERA, a revolutionary 19-seater hybrid-electric aircraft. This collaboration leverages Airbus Protect's expertise in #safety, #cybersecurity, and #sustainability to ensure a smooth path for the ERA program. This partnership not only validates the incredible work by the AURA AERO team, but also positions Airbus Protect as a relevant actor of new technologies for a greener future. The ERA seems to be a key step for regional travel, reducing CO2 emissions by up to 80% compared to traditional aircraft. This eco-friendly solution paves the way for a more sustainable and connected future for regional aviation. #sustainableaviation #hybrid #electric #partnership #airbus #auraaero #aviation #innovation
