Wikipedia has a good article on this. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technology_company

I agree, I did the same thing. I always wondered why people think building an app is the best way to get users. Maybe it’s that a large number of phone users these days are used to…

Unfortunately, that kind of arrogance is common on this forum.

You would have a difficult time finding an airborne system that does not already do this: > I just hope these are thoroughly tested and actually solve real world problems Changing …

I see a few positions related to autonomy on your website. What kind of experience levels are you expecting? I can’t tell if those are 20+ years experience or entry-level.

However, people need to travel. And they will travel. Calling it a doomed industry is bogus.

Not OP, but yes that would be correct. I think they meant lower altitude, higher pressure. 787s are at around ~6000ft pressure altitude, and most others are at 8000ft. [1] [1] http…

Thanks for the link, I was not familiar. I'm not sure if any current commercial systems use these methods. I know the defense industry uses a lot of advanced techniques because the…

Are you familiar with DO-178? Basically outputs have to be deterministic.. so you can't really use advanced control techniques. I haven't worked on flight control (but control on s…

Some Hindus bury, fyi

Convince regulators that advanced control techniques can be used on flight software (model-based predictive control, optimal control, etc.) We know how to do these, maybe not as sa…

> Reducing idling time and improving routes both increase fuel efficiency without changing the airplane Do you think idling time is a software problem? Aircraft idle for various ti…

That was my instinctive response when I made my first search; would be a great addition.

You have a lot of trust in strangers.

Do lego sets appreciate?

Thank you for correcting a common (HN/SW) perspective I've seen recently. "Software will fix all problems, everywhere"

Joe Rogan recently talked to the organization's founder for a second time, and discussed some of these things. https://youtu.be/whRVyywTov4

Which Etymotic product in particular?

There are a few in the Puget Sound such as Blue Origin, Collins Aerospace, SpaceX and some other smaller ones. Your point is valid though.

Ah, I guess you're right. In the aerospace world, engines typically mean one type of device. I stand corrected :)

Some still do. I suspect you only know a very small percentage of the total number of employees.

If commercial aircraft go electric (which as the other commenter pointed out, won’t be happening for a while), the number of engines would be 0. Electric motors are not the same as…
