The drone footage of China's Deep Blue Space Nebula-1 stage hover and landing is just something:

SpaceX has some competition for the most beautiful RUDs now.

A blimp crashed in Sao Paulo Brazil. One injury reported but thankfully no fatalities.

It looks like the elevator was commanded nose down...perhaps a control linkage failure of some sort? It looks like they were wrestling with an uncommanded dive but didn't have enough elevator authority to pitch up again.

I might be confusing it with background noise, but it sounds like the motors spooled up in an attempt to get some lift from those.

Now I am wondering about a wingsuit add-on for Orbiter.

Fine. imagine the following situation: 2005 a convoy of Soviet Ural trucks and Mi-17 helicopters is moving through Texas

This equipment was used in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina (2005) Some of the equipment is from Russia, the other part is from Mexico

When flight simulation almost becomes more entertaining than the real thing...

Hard to imagine how simulation might be like in 10 - 20 years from now. Thanks to every individual on this planet, and of course here in the forums, working on software development! You make the world a more enjoyable place

You're welcome!

Should my economic outlook improve next year, I seriously consider getting a VR set for the next step. The performance values of the current generation are plain epic.

I would call this level of realism insane...

I love how well maintained and updated some old airplanes are, especially in the US.

One of the best videos on historic airship handling

It has to be said, while the British high mast concept avoided the need for a large ground crew, Germany and the USA preferred the low mast in the end, because the high mast increased the risk of entering higher density air (Think of an invisible wave of cold air moving through the sky), suddenly increasing bouyancy and turning the airship nose down, like it happened to ZR-3 Los Angeles.
