FPV, RC & Aviation

The story behind the #Saab #J35 #Draken

absurdly tiny #rc #airplanes?

okay… but what about the same thing, but NICE LOOKING too?

How small can you build a 4K #FPV video drone?

That one guy: "YES!"

IDK how realistic all of that is… but it SOUNDS like a realistic approach to slightly futuristic airplane construction?

some #Airbus #openFan successor to the A320 series

Fun fact: seit diesem Jahr bin ich endlich offiziell nicht mehr Mitglied in diesem #Scheißverein #DMFV

Ich trauer noch immer etwas dem Hobby #FPV hinterher - aber DEFINITIV nicht dem, dass ich denen Geld geben musste.

Die haben massiv Lobbyarbeit betrieben, aber nie für das Hobby oder ihre Mitglieder, sondern immer nur mit dem Ziel das Fliegen ohne Verein und Flugplatz zu verbieten. Warum sollte man sich auch dafür stark machen dass Leute Freiheit haben und den Verein nicht brauchen? /S

I kinda like the idea of a small 1s long range #fpv #drone using a 18650

it's not quite for me, but it should be pretty nice?

So I hear there's a new video from the #Boeing R&D-Department, where they are showing how their new standard airplane building material gets tested succesfully? /s

volumetric display drone anyone?

it's not the most simple construction ever… but it kinda works, so there's that?

Who wouldn't love/want flying, buzzing skulls/emojis/globes that might kill on contact? :-D

On the general situation of the #drone #war in #Ukraine and why expensive #Tanks are NOT outdated/obsolete because of cheap fpv attacks.

I have nothing to add.

prediction: "soon" we'll see sub-$1000 optical anti drone rockets deployed

turbine blades are running at extreme speeds and temperatures actually ABOVE temperatures where the material would melt/deform, but there's aerodynamic cooling through holes inside of them it's all very complicated and if things go wrong, then things explode in random directions. Typically they are checked thoroughly on a regular basis. That said… impacts (like birds or other debris) can fuck shit up suddenly. And checking might miss damage if done wrong.
