wernher von braun literally only wanted to go to space
is what i mean
He missed
both the A6M and the Stukas lead engineers were devout pacificist, and in stukas case was jewish (lmao)
Spitfires creator originally drew a land speed plane and stayed alive because his country was under threat, Messershmidt wanted to beat him
it wasn't I WANT TO MURDER HUR DUR LET ME DO SOME CALCULUS TO KILL MORE
I think most scientists have a knack for removing what they are doing from real life. As long as they get to do the research.
*as long as they get to do the research*
ya what is that based in
we can definitely say its based in hierchys (drunk fuck spelling), but i haven't yet found a engineer who literally created what they could just for the sake of destruction
even if destruction was literally its end goal
yeah, I'm going to agree with one.
poppy you are nice lad why are we fighting
we should engineer some nice ass turbines and study the art of ECM together
uwu
Coz arguing is fun. It keeps you sharp and you learn about other people. Thats why I don't call you a murderer and you don't call me cuck. I
I Don't know what ECM but I'm happy to be taught 😏
@Poppy Rider i meant not ecm sorry
ACM
Right, I'm with ya.
the last bastion of the sword fighter tbh, even if we look on it in 2020 with all our tech as a dead-art just as sword fighting was
You ever flown a plane?
I like sword fighting. I've got a kid, I get plenty of pratice.
no im a car person, but i came to like it because in gaming sphere it proved to be deeper then i could of imagined
I flew one for about half an hour in new zealand. It was the best thing I've ever done.
it seems like basic sounding physics, but in practice more complicated then most people can manage, so then finding people who can instinctively react is like WEWEWEWEW
i'd imagine
i'd get a ultra-light if i could
Me too. I've got an old mower and I keep looking at in that way.
lmao
*what if i strapped a fan to this and tied a parachute to myself*
I live near a small air field and ppl go about in ultarlights all the time.
They did it a hundred years ago. With the motas we have these days and tools the average Joe can get hold of, I bet you could knock one together.
tbh i spent way too much time figuring out thrust to weight ratios of RC aircraft engines and air-foils i could tie to my body. luckily i was poor in my early 20s (and sadly) have remained poor, but at this point i have good enough depth in NACA archives if you could give me a decent thrust to weight i'd tie it to myself
lol
I take it you watched that bloke fly over the channel a few years back?
which bloke?
link since could be handful in my state of confusion
