These "drones" are more like enclosed ultralights, heavily loaded, 50-80mph, which an airliner would have already stalled at and be dropping out of the sky.

As indicated below, it would be a war crime. More importantly, it's not uncommon when crossing Air Route Traffic Control Centers (ARTCC) regions (eg. from Washington Center, to NY …

The Airliner has a transponder and a radio. Pretty sure the drone does not. The transponder code, assigned by various ATC would identify that aircraft as a civilian airliner when i…

This is going back a few years, but we used on our systems, AD620 In-Amp (Instrumentation Op-Amp) front-end IC, and a PIC 16F series micro, some filtering in between, for 2 channel…

A lot of USAF pilots flew gliders at the USAF Academy, or as cadets in Civil Air Patrol. At some point in their career, they become airline pilots. It would be similar for the RCAF…

Some friends who work with kids with autism use noise cancelling headphones a lot. They also have timelines and schedules. For some kids they literally specify a "T minus" timeline…

Back in the day before Reddit, Facebook, Twitter and Social Networks, there were groups that specialized in being "forum launch crews" that would help seed forums with a group of e…

I'm not so sure the F-18 Stores Management Processor used the i960MX. Any sources to confirm that? There has been some interest recently in the F-22 Common Integrated Processor usi…
