before you are outraged by this tweet about the "German" A400M, read the next tweet:
Always a fan favourite at #ILA26: the German #A400M 🇩🇪✈️ The German Air Force operates the largest A400M fleet in the world. They contribute vital airlift capabilities and are a key asset of force projection in international @NATO missions. Airbus is currently exploring additional capabilities for this advanced military transport aircraft, such as: ➡️ Extending its cargo capacity from 37 to 40 tonnes. ➡️ Using it as a mothership for drones. ➡️ Implementing satellite-based navigation. ➡️ Equipping it with a modular firefighting kit.

4 χρόνια πριν έκανα αυτό το ποστ (υπάρχει και σχετικό άρθρο της lifo στο thread). Η κοπέλα Μαριάννα (sic) με την αγνή αγάπη για την Ελλάδα είναι psyop του κινεζικού καθεστώτος Σήμερα η απορία είναι αν Μάνεσης στον alpha την φιλοξενεί εν άγνοια του ή δεν τους νοιάζει καν?
Busted 👍, if there wasn't any disclaimer from Facebook this could have passed as a cute personal blog of a Chinese girl learning Greek (although the description "the Chinese girl Marianna.." is a bit cringe) it's just a propaganda tool, but it already has 45k followers..

I just learned that Jiro Yamada passed away (last summer), he was only 65, my condolences to his family and friends. He was a great artist and the love for his craft really shines throughout his work. He leaves behind an astonishing amount of illustrations in his unique style

A sticker could probably prevent these very costly incidents (and avoid risking lives). I made one in two minutes (left/right versions, see below🙃). Available to all #787 users, for free! x.com/Turbinetraveler/status…
Possible cause of a Boeing 787 nose gear collapse: here's some context from a video I recorded inside a 787 nose landing gear bay some time ago. In the footage, you can see two holes: one of them is now blacked out—the downlock link assembly apex pin bore. This modification was introduced following the British Airways 787 nose-drop incident at Heathrow in June 2021 to prevent the possibility of a locking pin being inserted into the wrong hole. The other hole is the correct location for the nose landing gear downlock pin. So, back to why nose gear might have collapsed: when carrying out nose landing gear solenoid pressurization using hydraulic power, one of Boeing's first warnings is to install the "REMOVE BEFORE FLIGHT" landing gear safety pins. These pins are designed to prevent inadvertent landing gear retraction while maintenance work is being performed. I'm not suggesting this is what happened to Lufthansa's D-ABPQ.

Αν στο προηγούμενο θανατηφόρο δυστύχημα πέρσι εστίαζε ο κόσμος (και κατ'επέκταση αυτοί που πρέπει) στην εγκληματική διαμόρφωση της διάβασης και όχι στο κλισέ "έτρεχε" (τότε δεν έτρεχε καν..), τώρα ίσως να ζούσε η κοπέλα. Η απαξίωση κάθε αιτίας τροχαίου στο "έτρεχε" κοστίζει ζωές

Πέρασε ένας χρόνος από το δυστύχημα με το κοριτσάκι και 500 μέτρα παρακάτω ένας νέος άνθρωπος ξανασκοτωθηκε. Απορώ σε πόσους θανάτους θα αλλάξουν οι διαβάσεις στη Θησέως. google.com/amp/s/www.news247…

The biggest issue in car design is a lack of boldness. Designers (or rather, their directors) are afraid to use empty space. The first cool production Audi since forever, spoiled by a fake hitlerstache grill, it deserved a much better front end (very) rough illustration :

Ο "κάποιος λόγος" είναι η έλλειψη ελέγχων και αστυνόμευσης. πχ σε οποιοδήποτε χωριό απο όσους οδηγούν μηχανές (αν έχουν καν δίπλωμα) ελάχιστοι φορουν κράνος Αυτό θα μπορούσε να λυθεί με ελέγχους και αστυνομευση, αλλά ποιος ασχολείται με αυτά, καλύτερα "καμπάνιες" ...
«Φέτος το καλοκαίρι θα ζήσω». Μαζί με τους ενοικιαστές οχημάτων, ετοιμάζουμε μια εκστρατεία για τους τουρίστες που έρχονται το καλοκαίρι στη χώρα μας και δυστυχώς, επιδεινώνουν την οδηγική τους συμπεριφορά. Ευχαριστώ το @NewsAutogr Road Safety Forum για τη φιλοξενία.

Υπάρχουν ένα σωρό πολιτικά κόμματα που υποστηρίζουν αυτά τα καθημερινά εγκλήματα πολέμου της Ρωσίας (και των συνενόχων της αλλού). Το παίρνουμε στη πλάκα (πολλοί γουστάρουν κιόλας οκ) αλλά δεν είναι ούτε αστείο, αλλά ούτε ιδιαίτερα μακριά απο εμάς. *καμία* ανοχή

One of the most surreal and ingenious attacks took place a year ago, Operation Spiderweb destroyed ~15 Russian Tu-95 and Tu-22M bombers (and more) with small remotely piloted FPVs that were transferred there by unsuspected Russian truck drivers read more: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operat…

It flew through the @SenateGOP with UNANIMOUS support, now Congressman Hamadeh’s Maverick Act to preserve the legendary F-14 Tomcat is ready for takeoff in the @HouseGOP. Let’s get this done and keep American aviation history flying!

Gripen will finally fulfill its purpose, shoot down russian jets. If the timeline and procurement plan materialise it will be a new era for Ukraine and Sweden, great timing now that the next generation of European fighter jets is in flux youtu.be/6wgiiVO9aOg?is=8ObG…

Ferrari made an effort, showed a lot of really cool ideas and Luce is true to its underpinnings, no giant bonnet to host a small HVAC unit and some cables. But the most important thing: Ferrari sacrificednothing from their core lineup, nothing. Jaguar threw everything away.
