I hope that the X-59's 65 to 75 dB sound level (depending on altitude) can be approved so that supersonic airliners using the X-59's shockwave management technologies can fly not only over land, but over populated area's since there is no Concorde equivalent 103 dB BOOM with no window rattling results. (Should only take FFA five years to get that approved) Ha ! Of course the build cost, and especially the operating cost, (maintenance, higher paid flight crews/pilots/maintainers and fuel cost which is well above subsonic travel (especially on a passenger per fuel use basis) are economic issues that STILL remains. Then again, Lamborghini and 'Ferrari have their customer base, but perhaps bigger airlines where subsonic heavy airliners are their "bread and butter" could work in a limited number of supersonic airliners on business routes where time is a factor and charge only two or three times a "subsonic" first class ticket, and still come out even.

What can we take away from the lessons of yesterday to ensure we make better ones tomorrow? Today, Corinne Moore examines each of the three NASA tragedies in an effort to explain how each one happened and the safety-driven mindset we must all have as leaders in the aerospace industry.

Idiotics: Because Physics Cannot Explain Dumb Business Decisions I saw a total disregard for customer service at the Kennedy Space Center yesterday. It did not surprise because NASA manages that amusement park. Boeing is a major player. You get the my drift, right? So my brother and I waited aproximately 45 minutes to get on a much touted ride RED PLANET JOURNEY (or something similar where you get to go to Mars and back). Well guess why our wait time took 45 minutes? On a good day, there are FOUR “gates from where rockets take off for Mars”. Each rocket has 15 seats . Yesterday, two gates were closed and on our rocket, 3 of the 15 seats were broken/unusable. The ride lasts SIX minutes. So say the service rate is 60 guests every 10 minutes, yesterday that number was 27. Sounds like corporate America at its worst (NASA lost two of their six shuttles due to quality defects) managing a showcase of American ingenuity!

Very exciting for future generations. How do we develop the skill set in students now to ensure Australia remains at the forefront of research? What do you we need to do in classrooms now?

AVL is going to the moon. This is huge. Starting with automotive powertrain engineering over 75-years ago, we're now fully immersed in xEV development, we designed and built the 4-tons of battery cartridges and BMS for Eviation's Alice, we're working with eVTOL and marine applications, and now we're going to the moon. All of this suggests that we can help you with your mobility requirements, too. How can we help you reach your mobility goals? #avl #ast #virtualtwin #simulation

Boeing’s #Starliner successfully launched earlier today, making its way to the ISS. 👩🚀 Starliner was delayed significantly, but its launch will have a great impact to the human spaceflight market; 1. On a government level: The mission increases NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s access to the #ISS and provides options for crew missions 2.  On the competition side: Boeing is looking to compete with SpaceX’s Crew Dragon for future human spaceflight missions. In the long term increased competition can help drive down costs for space travel 3. On a commercial aspect: Boeing boosts commercial confidence in the market and positions itself as a key player in the evolving commercial LEO economy, including commercial space stations.

should have gear up and body tight and neat before any useful cruise info is given.

NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration Space Shuttle Training Aircraft. Aheado of its time, Masterful , Sensational , Ingenious, Engineering Masterpiece Inovative 😎 .......setting full reverse thrust at both engines inflight.... .......left seat astonaut flying Shuttle, right seat pilot flying GII... .......-20 deg fpa........ .......15,000 ft per min ROD!!!!!.....a brick in the sky The Shuttle Training Aircraft (STA) is a former NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration training vehicle that duplicated the Space Shuttle's approach profile and handling qualities, allowing pilots to simulate Shuttle landings under controlled conditions before attempting the task on board the orbiter. NASA developed the STA using the Grumman Gulfstream II as the underlying aircraft platform. The aircraft's exterior was modified to withstand the high aerodynamic forces incurred during training sorties. A redesigned cockpit provided a high-fidelity simulation of the Shuttle Orbiter's controls and pilot vantage point; even the seats were fitted in the same position as those in the Space Shuttle. https://lnkd.in/d4hcGUDD #NASA #Simulation #Pilot-in-the-loop #Spaceshuttle #Aerospace #Inovation

Today is the 55th anniversary of Apollo 11 landing on the moon. 🌑 As the first crewed vehicle to accomplish this mission, it's worthy of celebration.
