The B-52 and SR-71 had star tracking systems for that exact reason. Not sure about the B-52 version but the SR-71 worked in daylight. https://www.glennsmuseum.com/items/b52_astro/ https://theaviationgee

That's my experience as well in 2 different companies where we went from 2 E15K to 2 E25K because it was "cheaper" than rewriting who knows how much code, for how long and at what cost At the other one, we jumped from 2 25k t

Concorde holds the world record in both directions actually. F-BTSD did it: - westbound in 32 hours 49 minutes and 3 seconds on 12/13 October 1992, LIS-SDQ-ACA-HNL-GUM-BKK-BAH-LIS (Lisbon, Saint-Domingue, Acapulco, Honolulu, Guam, Bang

My take is it's not even an economic problem. Unless you fly really fast (like Mach 3++), flying east sucks. Let's assume we have a plane capable of Mach 3+: the SR-71 holds a record for flying from NYC to London in 1h54 and it co

I'm not sure why you're being downvoted because you're right: they have the technology, they don't have an engine, and this just looks like a civilian version of a fighter jet pretty much (except it has 3 turbojets). And

This is correct, reheat / afterburner was used from Mach 0.9 something to 1.7, after which they'd were off. So yes, Concorde could supercruise.

As far as I know (source, I still patch the LTS kernels), the fan control of the POE hat for the Pi 4 hasn't been merged yet. This thing was announced on May 2021... So not so good is really an understatement. https://www.ra

The issue with (software) raid is you have no idea if what you're copying isn't actually corrupted. If the filesystem isn't checksumed there's no guarantee.

The issue here is with your auditors. I mean if RH tells you a CVE has been fixed with a backport, sure you can challenge that fact but at the same time and with the same standards, it'd mean your auditor would also have to check the a

You're right but I'm sure both companies had good reasons for their schedules (for instance noise restrictions at night). And realistically, from your plane at JFK to Manhattan, that's got to be a least an hour and a half (im

For AF, my understanding (and my source actually worked that side of the business) is Concorde got profitable with special flights (aka people renting the plane to travel the world) not from just your regular scheduled flights. But keep in

Except it doesn't really work. It could almost work flying west then east to get home but regular Concorde flights couldn't give you the option to fly back the same day. BA001 LHR 10:30AM -> JFK 09:25AM BA002 JFK 08:30AM ->

Still, flying westbound fast makes tons of sense as you can arrive "before" you took off (local time) and thus you get a whole day in front of you. But eastbound makes a lot less sense, unless you're just trying to save time.

Well past Mach 1 actually, reheat was cut off at Mach 1.7.

Rewiring the pins doesn't necessarily do much these days as there are devices which will figure out the input pinout and route signals to the proper output pins. Think of it as a MITM device. A better way is to use a different kind of
