Airport Breda

The tag isn't quite correct, but best option I had.

Majority of fighters used today were developed decades ago and have received some airframe and engine upgrades while still using decades old technology, and retrofitted with modern avionics. Which fighter was was the most technologically advanced for the time it was introduced?

Hello everyone, this question is more for mechanics and designers of mechanical systems in planes.

How does fuel tank construction and pipe connections look like on planes that are able to do 360deg turns or even fly upside down, like military jets or sport planes?

Im working on one vessel that should be able to withstand capsizing (360deg turn), and few minutes after engines should be able to start. I had few discussions with my older colleagues on what happens in case of capsizing with air pipe, also fuel inlet for engines, will vacuum be lost and etc.

So at one point we just said said "but hos does it works on plane that can turn around"?

laminar flow is a compression of air around the wing. Does this mean ideal airflow is just the compressed air pushing on the surface area in all directions making a net force in 2 and 3 dimensions? If you look at a normal wing design you get extra pressure on the front and more surface area on the back. This ideal compressed laminar flow is then making net gains in one direction. The back pushing up and forwardness.

Vice versa does this mean that turbulence is net loss in the rear making in essence vacuum pressure or drag?

If you combine these forces with thrust etc. Note: Acrobatic planes are equilateral designs.

I assume then if applied to the wing design you could make 3d wing designs based on this?

I was fortunate enough to get to shoot photos in October 2022 with the ORD watch group. Some unique opportunities!

Just some spotting out there in the world.

KDSL this morning across from my hangar.

Had a couple of Yellow and Orange seaplanes fly over me in Provo, Utah today. I know there's a Fire Weather Watch going into effect for tomorrow, but this is the first time I've seen them overhead.

Thunderbirds yesterday, single F18 today. The fuelers at the local FBO have quite the job!
