    CMC Leopard

    Why did this aircraft fail? Anybody know? Is there any chance this idea is still viable? What other aircraft are comparable to it today?

    X-P4 Transwing from PteroDynamics

    More footage of XP-4 Transwing, this time operating in high winds: I wonder why a small single-person version of this couldn't be built. Maybe the size of a Cri-Cri?

    UFO 'Whistleblowers' Speak Out

    Okay, but Fulton Recovery system has a guy on the ground using a balloon to loft a cable way high in the sky. Aircraft then passes in between and snags the cable with the guy attached. I don't think it can be done out of jungle clearings, and requires open flat land to work. But mainly, any...

    UFO 'Whistleblowers' Speak Out

    One of the earliest aerial vehicles operated by the US Navy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Shenandoah_(ZR-1) - big as a football field - quiet - no downwash, due to buoyancy - faceted surface with visible ribs/ridges While Shenandoah was a lighter-than-air vehicle with helium as buoyant...

    UFO 'Whistleblowers' Speak Out

    American dialect, and apparently American weapons & equipment, armored F-350 pickups, etc He said they were angry/aggressive/upset, and that this was happening in Indonesia which was a hotbed for terrorist training camps. He also spoke of special containers with oxygen cylinders, and said he'd...

    UFO 'Whistleblowers' Speak Out

    FYI, just to correct - Michael Herrera has already given his testimony before Congress, recently in April 2023. One thing that stood out to me - his account was peppered with all sorts of small details, which made it seem more authentic to me. Yet the physics seems bizarre - at first glance...

    UFO 'Whistleblowers' Speak Out

    There seems to suddenly be a lot in the news lately about Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs) and Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAPs), mostly because of so-called whistleblowers who are now suddenly coming forward to speak out, with the goal of testifying before Congress. They are claiming that...

    Apple's New Augmented Reality Goggles

    @ 1:14 they say there are no controllers, but somehow you can use your hands, eyes and voice to control and input information. It's able to do an eye-scan for logins, so I guess that allows some kind of built-in eyeball-tracking for point-and-click. For the hands, it seems to have some downward...

    Apple's New Augmented Reality Goggles

    Let's see if it kicks off a new craze I gotta admit, if I were on the go, something like this might be a little more convenient than whipping out a laptop. Like say you were in an airport lounge, or on a train or bus, you could use something like this more seamlessly than placing a laptop on...

    X-P4 Transwing from PteroDynamics

    I'm not sure how they actuate the wing movement for changing the wing geometry, though. It looks to be through some kind of pusher mechanism. I wonder if it could be possible to do it through some sort of puller mechanism like a tension-cable?
