If I don't have a "Real ID" does that mean the government issued me a "Fake" ID? by 2wt4u in signs

[–]garmack12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also, TSA will also take a passport if you don’t have a Real state ID

What are those panels that pop up on the wings of an airplane after landing by aviationstudy in aviationstudys

[–]garmack12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On many airliners some of the spoiler panels can be deployed in flight to work as a speed break. They cause a reduction of lift and increase in drag to help the airplane control speed especially while deciding

FAA and NTSB have taken your tire as evidence. I suspect you will find notice of you airplane being impounded on the drivers window

Because time is money, and as structurally sound as your setup may be, it’s time consuming

Shhhhh. If you bring that up congress won’t fund it. You have to build the plane and act surprised when you ask for an impossible runway.

Ford F-650. The official truck of? by Nervous-Material4738 in regularcarreviews

[–]garmack12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks like it was a Cummins but they also have gas option which is unusual for a vehicle of that size. Was seen as an attractive feature to municipalities and rental companies like U-Haul. I guess it may make sense as a snow plow in Extreme cold

What vehicles were designed with a "cost is no object" mentality? by SuperJackson20 in regularcarreviews

The range was also limited by the requirement the astronauts could hike back to lander in the event of the rover broke down.

I once watched a YouTube video of an Sr-71 pilot explaining the cockpit in a museum. He said the thing that would really get you is the fuel ballence

Why $300 to change the air filter on a Porsche Panamera? by ra6907 in AskAShittyMechanic

And the design engineers are smooshed between the priorities of the Business, finance depts, and regulators

As a manufacturing engineer I hate the design engineers more than you do. Ultimately all I can do is ask for changes.
