Before the U.S. Cycling Federation adopted a requirement for all bike racers to wear helmets in 1986, most people rode without one. The only helmet options at the time drew rider complaints for being too hot and heavy. But, with a bit inspiration from a NASA aircraft wing design used during World War II, more […] | Click below to read the full article on Sunalei

Land Rover vs Range Rover - what's the difference? It’s important to note that the Land Rover is the brand, and Range Rover is a model. Essentially, every Range Rover is a Land Rover, but not every Land Rover is a Range Rover. Land Rover’s model line-up consists of the Range Rover, Range Rover Sport, the Velar, the Evoque, the Discovery, and the Defender. Uncover the unique features and characteristics that set the Land Rover Discovery Sport and Range Rover Sport apart: https://hubs.ly/Q02Qzg-X0 #Tangelo #TangeloUK #TangeloUsedCars #UsedCars #ExeterUsedCars #UsedCarsExeter #LandRover #RangeRove #LandRoverDiscovery #LandRoverDefender #RangeRoverSport #RangeRoverVelar #RangeRoverEvoque #LandRoverVRangeRover #CarReview #WhatsTheDifference

Digital campaign analytics linked to a sales dashboard have strongly emphasised real-time ROI for each ad unit. And yes, there's a time and a place... But if we demanded instant, measurable ROI from every ad, then ads like this wouldn't have left the studio. Believe in your brand.

Aerodynamics plays a crucial role in triathlon, significantly impacting an athlete’s performance. Here are some key reasons why it’s so important: - Increased Speed: By optimizing aerodynamics, triathletes can move faster with the same amount of effort. This is particularly critical during the cycling segment, where reducing air resistance can lead to substantial time savings. - Energy Conservation: Reducing drag helps athletes conserve energy. In a sport where endurance is paramount, saving energy on the bike means having more reserves for the running segment, potentially improving overall performance. - Competitive Edge: In races often decided by slim margins, aerodynamic optimizations can be the difference between winning and losing. Small gains in efficiency from aerodynamic helmets, skin-tight tri suits, and well-tuned bikes can provide significant advantages. To optimize aerodynamics, triathletes focus on: - Positioning: Adopting a more aerodynamic posture on the bike, such as lowering the upper body and tucking the elbows.

(www.huubdesign.co.uk) HUUB Design - Training: Incorporating exercises to maintain an aerodynamic position, including flexibility, core strength, and stability workouts.

If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em. 🤝 Remember back in February and March when we were making the rounds at FWT, MountainPlanet, DronExpo, and all those fun shindigs? We were there, showing off our IVAQ Finder Prototype—a drone so cool it could practically find your lost socks under a snowbank (okay, more like ARVAs, but you get the point). ❄️🧦 You told us it was awesome, that our mission was worthy, But you also said, “𝘏𝘦𝘺, 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘢 𝘥𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘥𝘰 𝘪𝘵 𝘢𝘭𝘭? 𝘓𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘢 𝘚𝘸𝘪𝘴𝘴 𝘈𝘳𝘮𝘺 𝘬𝘯𝘪𝘧𝘦, 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘱𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘳𝘴.” 🚁 And that’s when reality hit us like a snowball to the face. Compete with DJI? That’s like challenging Usain Bolt to a race and expecting to win. Spoiler alert: You won’t. 😅 So, we took a deep breath, did some soul-searching, and decided: If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em.🤝 So now, instead of going head-to-head with DJI, we’re hitching a ride on their M350. 🎢 We have been working hard since April in a renewed system that will attach to the M350 seamlessly, while improving our IVAQ Receiver, so that it can detect victims further and more efficiently. ✨ So, while we may no longer be drone makers, we’re still committed to saving skiers, snowboarders, and alpinists from avalanches, bringing state-of-the-art tech to Search & Rescue missions. 🏔️🆘 Excited to see the IVAQ Finder in action with DJI´s M350? Make sure to follow us for behind-the-scenes details and updates!👀

We all know the story of the de Havilland Comet, but have you heard of the de Havilland Comet? Rather confusingly, the name was originally held by a 1934 racing plane. Unlike the infamous DH.106 jet airliner, the DH.88 Comet was a twin-piston-engine craft designed and built specifically for the MacRobertson Air Race. It ran from Mildenhall airfield in the UK to Melbourne, Australia with five mandatory intermediate stops along the way. Between those stops, the crews could plot their own courses. The race was planned for 20 October 1934, but since it was announced only a year before, de Havilland had to scramble to design and build the craft in time. Its first flight took place just six weeks before the race. Three DH.88 airframes were built for the race and each one painted a different color. Comets were configured with a single low wing and two low-slung in-line engines that put out 230 horsepower apiece. The two-person cockpit sat just aft of the wing, limiting visibility but helping the aerodynamics. Coming in at exactly 70 hours, 54 minutes (just shy of 3 days) the red Grosvenor House DH.88 won the competition. One of the other two Comets completed the race in 108 hours, then turned around the next day to fly home, setting a round-trip record for the route of just over 13 days. It languished for a while, but Grosvenor House was restored to flying condition in the late 1980s. It doesn’t take to the air much, but we love that this bit of history can still fly! #aviationhistory #aircraftinteriors #noisereduction
