Syd Mead: Future Pastime
San Francisco, Transamerica Pyramid Annex Gallery
Opening Night: October 8th, 6-8pm
Syd Mead: Future Pastime is set to arrive in San Francisco, thirty years after Mead’s last major appearance in the Bay. It is a homecoming to a city that has spent the last three decades building the tomorrow Mead spent his life
imagining.
Here, in the capital of the industry now most responsible for deciding what comes next, Mead’s paintings pose quiet but pointed questions: what happened to the future we were promised, and
what became of the optimism that once powered it?

🎥🚀 Je me suis amusé à corriger la distorsion optique de l’objectif grand-angle de la caméra du Starlink, qui déformait le Starship lorsqu’il arrivait en bord de champ à la fin de la vidéo. Le résultat est assez sympa ! 😍

The Nora B-52 mounts a 155mm/52-cal gun on an 8x8 chassis with an autoloader achieving 6 rounds per minute, operated by three crew in a protected cab. At 62km with rocket-assisted rounds, it ranks among the longest-ranged wheeled howitzers ever exported.

Interesting new photo of Turkey's Hava SOJ project based on a modified Bombardier Global 6000 aircraft.
What's interesting is its aft sensor housing - also a possible design option for a Saab #GlobalEye / WatchEye configuration featuring additional front and aft radar arrays.

...et grosse modif à l'arrière de l'appareil 🤔

in the early days of WWI, military aircrafts did not have synchronized machine guns, so pilots sometimes fired handguns at each other during flights.
this resulted in the M1911 pistol with an extended magazine and a wire brass-catching cage.
Aliptera VTOLコンセプト
むき出しでまたがって乗るのが怖いけど、たのしそう
Meet Aliptera’s VTOL concept aircraft, built around its Lip Wing technology.
The design uses an elliptically curved wing that can generate additional lift at low speeds, combined with a tilting shrouded propeller system for VTOL and forward flight.
Aliptera says the configuration can improve aerodynamic efficiency and reduce power requirements compared with a conventional shrouded propeller.
