This extension to the main plane or the wing is called winglet. A winglet is an upturned extension at the tip of an aircraft's wing. It helps reduce drag, improve fuel efficiency, and enhance the aircraft's stability during flight. Winglets are designed to minimize the formation of vortices at the wingtips, which can improve overall performance. #aircraftmaintenance #airplanes #moreaboutairplanes #technicalknowledge #ame #aircraftengineer

A ground proximity warning system (GPWS) is a system designed to alert pilots if their aircraft is in immediate danger of flying into the ground or an obstacle. The United States Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) defines GPWS as a type of terrain awareness and warning system (TAWS). More advanced systems, introduced in 1996, are known as enhanced ground proximity warning systems (EGPWS), a modern type of TAWS. In the late 1960s, a series of controlled flight into terrain (CFIT) accidents took the lives of hundreds of people. Beginning in the early 1970s, a number of studies examined the occurrence of CFIT accidents. Findings from these studies indicated that many such accidents could have been avoided if a warning device called a ground proximity warning system (GPWS) had been used. As a result of these studies and recommendations from the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), in 1974, the FAA required all large turbine and turbojet airplanes to install TSO-approved GPWS equipment. #galaxyaerosgh #space #spaceexploration #spacenews

The recent V-22 Osprey grounding - as the long journey to certification for the AW609 - illustrate the technical challenges of tiltrotors. So what does it mean for tiltrotor evtol concepts, which already have many financing / certification / business model / range vs battery performance challenges ?

“…. we must keep in mind two important points. One, every lesson learned in the V-22 program has been thoroughly studied and has been adopted as we transition to the next generation of tiltrotor technology that the FLRAA aircraft represents. Two, when looking at safety records of a host of other aircraft, the V-22 safety record does not suffer by comparison.” https://lnkd.in/gkeHt4GC

"For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction." Newton's Third Law is a fundamental principle of physics and describes the nature of interacting forces. It highlights that there are consequences to every action and in order to find equilibrium we need to learn how to adjust our inputs according to the anticipated output. A - Adjust: Adjust the controls for your desired output C - Confirm: Confirm your adjustment is causing a move in the right direction E - Evaluate: Evaluate your adjustment and assess whether a further adjustment is required #aviation #aviationsafety #pilot #aviationtraining #helicopters #airplanes #pilottraining #ppl #cpl #atpl #pilottraining #OEI #Multiengine #AW139 #Offshore #Multipilot #Leonardo #MAYDAY #PANPANPAN

American macro/geopolitical analyst, investor, & strategic advisor. (My opinions often change over time. Please do your own research. I don’t post investment advice & only accept connection requests from people I know.)
I’m just now becoming aware of how much US military airlift capacity has fallen since the 1990s. It’s shocking & fixing this shortfall will be critical in the years ahead. America needs a lot more cargo capacity & the prospect of breaking the reliance on runways is exciting. But the devil is always in the details. How much will it cost to produce this next generation cargo aircraft? Is there a better, cheaper, & more scalable way to solve the problem?
Imagine a future where the Marine Corps is able to organically deploy globally in response to crisis? What is the value of being able to launch and recover from littoral seas, and not just be beholden to a fixed number of easily targetable runways? Imagine further, if these platforms could employ large numbers of long-range loitering munitions that fly or swim themselves to targets? Is this aviation or a ship (like LSM)? Certainly questions to ponder as we continue to modernize our force to meet the challenges of the future global environment and the ever changing threat.
