All our aircraft have 2 or even 4 engines. For a good reason. 😊 But what if... ❓ Have you ever thought about what happens if one of those engines fails mid-flight? For example, as a result of a so-called "bird strike"? 🤔 🐦 In our series "Ask the Expert" in the SWISS Magazine our First Officer 👩✈️ Judith Niedmers explains what our pilots need to do in such a case and how they train intensively for this scenario in the flight simulator. https://rb.gy/43kcmf

Based on the results in other comments about this program, I would encourage folks to search and understand the difference between reaction control jets/valves -vs- active flow control. Also, although active flow control is not a new concept or experiment, combining it with other emerging enabling technologies is what makes potential integration and potentially much greater utility on a ‘real’ aircraft possible - and certainly worth demonstrating!

Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has developed a new #unmannedaerialvehicle, designated X-65 which will ditch all traditional control surfaces that have limited aerodynamics for generations. Instead, it will find control from within. The X-65 will feature active flow control rather than passive exterior-moving controls and redefine aviation with compressed air nozzles to execute maneuvers, subverting long-held tenets of aviation and aerodynamics. https://lnkd.in/g6e3TPPb By “removing jointed surfaces,” such a design could improve flight and reduce cost and wear and tear, and also theoretically enhance the aircraft’s stealth characteristics. The X-65 will include “modular wing configurations that enable future integration of advanced technologies for flight testing,” DARPA noted in a January release. This may also serve as a precursor for hypersonic vehicle flight control. CRANE has been in the works for several years now, and the contract with Aurora Flight Sciences marked the beginning of the program’s Phase 2, which will include the development of flight software and controls and a critical design review of an X-plane demonstrator. The contract includes an option for a Phase 3, which would involve flying the 7,000-pound X-65. The new X-65 is the first “X” aircraft since the Air Force redesignated the NF-16D Variable In-flight Simulator Aircraft as the X-62A in August 2021. That puts it in an exclusive club that has helped shape cutting-edge aeronautical research for decades, including the Bell X-1, the first airplane to break the sound barrier, and the hypersonic X-15. Other more recent examples include the X-37 space plane, the hypersonic X-51 Waverider, and the X-61 Gremlins.

Airbus flight instruments 101. Here’s the PFD (Primary Flight Display) of the Airbus A350, flying a visual approach with a 40 knot crosswind.(in the simulator) Practicing Visual Circuits in Crosswinds. On the PFD, the small central black and yellow square depicts the nose of the aircraft sitting 3° above the horizon. The green circle with wings is known as the Flight Path Vector (or The Bird) it depicts our descent angle of 3° below the horizon, this is sitting below a blue line which is our selected track of 270° to align with the runway, also shown below as a blue triangle. A 3° descent at a speed of 140 knots gives us a vertical speed, or rate of descent of 800 feet per minute. As we pass below an altitude of 300 feet (elevation relative to a sea level pressure of 1013 millibars, the radio altitude shows 200 feet above the ground. #flightinstruments #flightdeck #cockpit #airbus #flight #instruments #crosswind #groundspeed #tas #ias #flightpathvector #heading #track #flying #flyingtraining #ffs #fullflight #simulator #a350 #a350xwb #altitude #pilot #sasidharanmurugan #itzmemsd

The AIAA made available at its YouTube channel a series of videos pertaining to its 2023 Aviation Forum. The set of videos cover a lot of diverse, interesting and actual subjects within the aviaiton realm, such as hypersonics, supersonics, distributed electric propulsion, flight testing in the age of electric propulsion, etc...... The AIAA Aviation Forum was held last June, in San Diego, California USA. So, even tough the videos of the Forum are available only now (February 13, 2024) I think it still worth watching them. In order to illustrate the available videos, I have chosen the one shown below. The whole set of videos is available at the same location as the one I have indicated.

Did you know that both Airbus and Boeing aircrafts are equipped with wing flex technology to improve stability during turbulence? This innovative feature allows the wings to flex and absorb the pressure changes, providing a smoother ride for passengers. Next time you're on a flight, take a moment to appreciate the advanced engineering behind these aircrafts. I spill Daily Aviation Insights P.S. ♻️ Repost if you found this interesting. #AviationTechnology #WingFlex #SmoothFlight #Airbus #Boeing #dailyaviation #findmeaplane #aviationenthusiast #aviationindustry #flight #airtravel #airports #aviationcareer, #aviationjobs #aviationtraining #aviationgeek #avgeek #aviationnerd #planegeek #aviationnews #aviationdaily #aviationlovers #aviationindustry #aerospace
