tesla pouring money into new battery tech for a 50% increase in energy density https://www.nextbigfuture.com/2019/02/tesla-buys-maxwell-to-eventually-triple-battery-energy-density.html?amp=

I thought the CHT was an issue because as it rises it stops the valve dissipating heat

isn't the exhaust valve the weak link?

it would stop people complaining about the broken links

Mackay wins Second Qantas Academy 5 July 2019 Comments 0 Comments Qantas has stuck with its spiritual home state and selected Mackay as the site of its second training academy. The airline announced today that Queensland would host both academies after the first was established at Wellcamp Airport in Toowoomba. Qantas Group Pilot Academy Executive Manager, Wes Nobelius, said the airport would be an ideal place to train the next generation of pilots. “Mackay offers optimal flying conditions and a sunny Queensland lifestyle which makes it an ideal site for a pilot academy,” he said. “It’s home to good infrastructure, a proud community – even a new, state-of-the-art sport and recreation precinct for students, trainers and their families. We were really moved by the way locals came together with the #MackayWantsYouQantas campaign. “Our initial focus is opening the first Pilot Academy site in Toowoomba and rapidly expanding the number of pilots there next year, before we progress our plans for Mackay.” Nobelius said Mackay was chosen after a process that whittle potential site down from more than 60 to just two. “To the remaining six shortlisted cities – we thank all of you for taking part. If we could have placed a Pilot Academy in every one of your cities, we would have,” added Mr Nobelius. “We know these proposals took a great deal of time and effort, but it gave us insight into your community and plenty of ideas for where we can grow in the future.” The short-listed airports were Alice Springs, Bendigo, Busselton, Dubbo, Launceston, Mackay and Wagga Wagga. Qantas started life in the 1920s as Queensland and Northern Territory Aerial Services based in Longreach, QLD.

looks interesting, especially the bit about the differential thrust https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W0DHhiwvatQ:189

what are you spending your tax cuts?

none of the military stuff is certified but there are plenty flying over built up areas. I think there is an official prejudice against auto conversions

Uber tend to break the law when they have too. Pay off a few politicians and senior PS to delay any prosecution long enough to get their business up and running

lol too cold for the shed atm

prototype finished, about to start test flying

Uber proves the old adage that if you are big and rich enough, normal rules don't apply

MAX Fixes Will Take Until At Least September, Boeing Says Jun 27, 2019 Sean Broderick Boeing WASHINGTON—Boeing will need at least until September to address a new flight control computer (FCC) issue and wrap up changes needed to get the fleet flying again, Aviation Week has learned. The issue came to light during engineering simulator tests with FAA test pilots during the week of June 17. During a runaway horizontal stabilizer troubleshooting procedure, FAA determined that line pilots would need more time to correctly diagnose the failure and execute the appropriate checklist. The tests also showed that a computer chip malfunction could lead to uncommanded stabilizer movement during the emergency procedure. FAA told Boeing to address the issues, and the manufacturer is complying. “We are working through the software update and the potential implications for the timeline for the safe return to service of the 737 MAX fleet and resuming MAX deliveries,” a Boeing executive told Aviation Week. “Our current assessment is we will submit our final certification package to the FAA in the September timeframe.” Boeing is confident that the latest issues can be addressed with software changes. The alternative—replacing computer chips on more than 500 MAXs—could prolong a worldwide grounding that started in mid-March. Boeing is modifying specific FCC software linked to two 737 MAX accident sequences within five months. The second accident, the Mar. 10 crash of Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302, triggered the global grounding. The software changes focus on the MAX’s maneuvering characteristics augmentation system (MCAS), which helps the MAX mimic the flight characteristic of its 737 Next Generation predecessor in certain scenarios. The latest FCC issue is not believed to be linked to the proposed MCAS changes.

Uber?

the standard deal the QLD government offers new mines is 5 years royalties holiday

lovely photos, the problem with mining is that as you can see by the photos, the rules aren't being enforced and the mining company can just walk away leaving the mess and the mine to rot. neither party cares about the environment anymore

Uber know they can't get into a market without doing their due diligence
