@JetCityStar This is MIND BOGGLING!!! An aerospace publication is turning 125 years old. Congrats @AeroSociety!!!
@AlcockAIN Warm congratulations from new kid on the block @AINonline which turns 50 in 2022. Onwards and upwards.
@GuyG_Boffin Our new #climatechange #aviation paper, which will be in the coming 125th-anniversary edition of @AeroSociety Aeronautical Journal. With DrPaulDWilliams @anilpadhra (and our non-tweeting friend and colleague Prof Spyridon Rapsomanikis in Greece).
@Mr_Jacksonandon Other than HABalloons, they really went from the earliest possible time. That’s fantastic. I bet their archives are filled to the brim with the real stories which we have mutated into heroic quests.
@henry_s_cope It was a great honour and experience to present some of my work with @NASAGeneLab datasets at yesterday’s @AeroSociety annual symposium on aerospace medicine! I really enjoyed listening to some amazing talks throughout the day.
@nawislearning A fantastic day full of interesting lectures and even more interesting people at the @AeroSociety Symposium today.

@Pereraps Range is higher than @Airbus studies due to the gravimetric density assumptions of #flyzero va #zeroei
@MarkBateUK Green hydrogen is the future, not electric, especially now that it can be produced at an affordable price point and at scale.
@Maxsec Green hydrogen – so made from electrolys from green electric then I guess.
@gethinsinflight [On ‘Powering a net zero future’(1) ] This is a pivotal time and crucial juncture in aerospace evolution as we move into a new era wrought by the forces of nature and climate change.
Dr Raj Nangia and Les Hyde presented this concept for their ‘Gondola’ twin-fuselage liquid hydrogen powered airliner. Nangia
@AvGeeknologist It may reduce some risk but, in terms of uncontained engine rotor failure, it appears to multiply the headaches...and the associated implications of lateral CG movements on handling qualities, stall speeds, etc, potentially. Hydrogen has a very low density but with this lateral lever arm... not sure the effects would remain small.
@free_body_diagr And a complicated three-dimensional weight and balance diagram with both x and y CG, and associated payload+fuel distribution configurations. Yikes! With the currently available know-how, a lot of the safety would be built into the tank design itself, and keeping the tank in this configuration would likely not make it significantly safer than, say, individual pods under the wing or tank in the fuselage.
@JareelSkaj Blohm & Voss was right all along!
@ThatJohn I mean sure but, if it goes all Hindenburg, it’ll still take the wing off, though, right?
@JakobBecvar Tanks are normally built to let the pressure out in a controlled way if they fail. If this would happen the airplane structure would be fine and the passenger pressure cabin would also be unharmed.
@XH487 As a wing designer (A380 & V22) … it is an interesting concept … safety is still my major concern, as well as performance & cost.
@horan_fintan I would hope the tech evolves so that these safety fears can be fixed without resorting to such measures or that they become redundant. Interesting lateral thinking though.

@billieflynn What @RCAF_ARC really should have bought for its next fighter. Perfect for the Arctic and snow!
@Skystar320 Lucasfilm helped out with the special effects for that movie.
@StreetTripleMat Loved this as a kid, still do and made my own MIG 31 out of old cereal boxes.
Westland Wasp HAS1, XT421, a light anti-submarine strike helicopter for operations from small ships. Ninety-eight Wasps were built for the Royal Navy, seeing service from 1963 to 1988. The Wasp also saw service with Indonesia, Brazil, New Zealand, South Africa and the Netherlands. RAeS/NAL
