I absolutely love aeronautical magazines from the first decades of our industry. They had great articles and short #engineering papers with beautiful illustrations about what was still an emerging field. Here is an extract from a description of the speed reducer in a 1926 issue of L'Ala d'Italia (The Wing of Italy). #aircraft #avgeeks
Halfway through the excellent Westland #Aircraft & #Rotorcraft by Graham & Smith with a great deal of detail on past projects and top-notch from Yeovil. #ICYMI Westland merged with Agusta in 2000. AgustaWestland then merged into Leonardo in 2016.

#avgeeks of the #fediverse, #Mastodon, have any of you been able to bridge any of the #aviation #avtwitter accounts that migrated to #Bluesky? I'm trying to add bridged accounts like Flightradar24.com & Jon Ostrower's #bsky accounts but not having any success. If any of you have successfully added (followed) their bridged bsky accounts here, can you show me how/share the correct account. #AvgeeksofMastodon #avgeeksocial
HAHAHAHA. Nope.
“By default, the system operates using excess electricity generated during normal flight operations”
Doubt the extra weight, plus loss of belly space, makes it worthwhile.
But this line really cracks me up:
“The revenue generated… can support the purchase of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) or fund carbon offset programs, offering a pathway to enhance profitability while reducing environmental impact.”
