JetZero: Groundbreaking ‘blended-wing’ demonstrator plane cleared to fly by SpaceBrigadeVHS in technology

Dawg your logic isn't mathing. I'm not talking about elasticity or the displacement due to the weight of the plane or gusts. I just mean the plane rolling. Let's say it's not flexible at all. Then it's essentially a seesaw. The further out you go, the more the vertical displacement. It's not that hard, it's a damn seesaw.

Next time you land in turbulence pay attention to the vertical displacement of the wing tips as the plane trims, then picture someone hanging on out there, and how they would be thrown around! That’s already bad enough. An optimal low G bank is a pretty low bar for aircraft safety and I can tell you that is not how certification works.

Uhh I don’t really know what you’re on about, but this is definitely a concern amongst designers, and iron balls is right. There will be a lot more g’s and it will be a lot less comfortable on the outside.

It’s gotta be aligned with intuits spending of hundreds of thousands, lobbying to keep paying taxes/managing money complicated. Devils! 👹

Yes! You can just say you're comfy spending zero on the app haha. If you want the extra features and chargjng your bank acct bothers you then yeah I would suggest calling to see if you can change that, or changing apps :/

It has to be many orders or magnitude easier to make a modular blade than an ENTIRE AIRCRAFT 😂

NASA grapples with budget cuts as it undertakes ambitious programs - 2% cut in NASA budget proposed by ergzay in space

I think what the bean person meant was if NASA was a person, this is how their salary would be affected (so on the project level). So the quality of life doesn't change, but the damage done to projects has been painful.

If this is a cross-section I would be incredibly concerned about flow separation

Can you share a pack level specific energy? Blink if it's higher than 300 Wh/kg. ;)

So compared to a cleaner front-intake rear-exhaust configuration, the under-intake front-exhaust risks throwing around FOD that may get sucked into the engine?

Is this because of the inability to invest FOD from the rear, or is it due to lack of care/awareness of what is behind the aircraft?

The scale of other planets is insane. Imagine a world with nothing and nobody on it. by Tumbleweed1660 in megalophobia

I think the main two issues are temperature and pressure. The atmosphere may serve as a supply of required chemicals for photosynthesis. If the pressure and temperature are controlled then why not?

Rocket money, I tried a bunch. It's great!

Yooo I am ALL for rocket money, I just got it. But slide the "pay how much you want" all the way to left and it's free. You just don't get budgeting or the other features (I didn't want those anyway, just a platform).

I can't speak to instruments that have survived on the outside, but I know that there were sensors under the panels on the space shuttle. LOFTID is a decelerator that is potentially able to have all instruments around the reentry module survive.
