🚗There is a car that can change shape with the touch of a button! 🚗 And we were forced to wait for what the 1970s animated film foresaw (the post-credit scenes at the end, which are incredibly nostalgic and well worth seeing!). The CT1's width of just one metre allows it to adapt its wheelbase to the demands of urban transportation, but when it's on the road, it takes on its full form and provides the stability of a big car at high speeds. The car's desire to go smaller has come true. Parking is not an issue! The first convertible electric car to take over the motorcycle space is in Europe, not Brazil yet. WATCH at the end of the entire video. After all, driving like a car 🚗, and parking like a motorcycle 🏍️ is with the City Transformer!

800-volt architecture. The Porsche soul stands for performance. In every respect. As demonstrated by the Taycan, even when charging: its 800-volt architecture produces charge power of up to 270kW. In five minutes, the Taycan Turbo, for example, can be charged to enable a range of up to 100km (WLTP) under optimum conditions' and is al- ways ready for what its driver spends the whole day dreaming about: driving. Optimum conditions: CCS speed charging pedestal with >270kW. >850V, battery temperature 30 to 35°C and output state of charge 5% #PorscheCenterBengaluru #Porsche #Taycan #porschetaycan

Very good theoretical review of aerodynamics and fixed-wing aircraft wing structure
What I see when I look outside the window. Aerodynamic Shape: The wing's shape is carefully designed to produce lift efficiently. Typically, wings have a curved upper surface and a flatter lower surface, creating a pressure differential that generates lift according to Bernoulli's principle. Wing Structure: The wing's internal structure is usually made of lightweight yet sturdy materials like aluminum, composite materials, or, in some cases, advanced materials like carbon fiber. This structure supports the weight of the aircraft and withstands aerodynamic forces. Control Surfaces: Wings often have control surfaces such as ailerons, flaps, and spoilers. Ailerons control roll by moving in opposite directions, while flaps increase lift during takeoff and landing by increasing the wing's surface area. Spoilers disrupt airflow over the wing to decrease lift, aiding in descent and controlling speed. Winglets: Some wings feature winglets at their tips. These small, vertical projections improve aerodynamic efficiency by reducing drag caused by wingtip vortices. They also enhance stability and control during flight. Fuel Tanks: Many aircraft store fuel within the wings. The wing's structure includes compartments to hold the fuel securely. This design helps distribute the aircraft's weight evenly and provides a convenient location for fuel storage without significantly altering the aircraft's aerodynamics. Anti-icing Systems: In colder climates or at high altitudes, ice formation on the wing can be a safety hazard. Anti-icing systems, such as heated leading edges or pneumatic boots that inflate and break ice off the wing, are integrated into the wing design to prevent ice buildup. Wing Flare: The wing's flare refers to its shape at the wing root where it attaches to the fuselage. This area is often designed to smoothly integrate with the fuselage to minimize aerodynamic drag and turbulence. Wing Attachments: Wings are securely attached to the fuselage through wing attachments or spars. These connections must be robust to withstand the forces experienced during flight and maintain structural integrity. Structural Supports: Internally, the wing contains structural supports such as ribs and stringers. These components distribute the aerodynamic forces evenly across the wing and provide additional strength to the overall structure.
