[Podcast] Deivid Carri (@DCarrionF) analiza y discute con nosotros el…F-35. Archivo Sonoro de Sandglass Patrol 13



 

Hemos invitado a Deivid Carri (@DCarrionF) a analizar el F-35, y ha aceptado. Bueno, en realidad íbamos a hablar también del NH-90, pero la cosa del F-35 se fue alargando, nos fuimos liando… y al final el episodio estará en dos partes, primero el F-35, y en un futuro cercano el NH-90.

 

La pregunta que le hicimos por Whatsapp fue: ¿crees que la guerra de Ucrania ha favorecido la venta del F-35 en Europa?. La respuesta: un recordatorio de la historia del programa desde que se llamaba JSF, un análisis de sus fortalezas y debilidades, anécdotas… y la respuesta a la pregunta formulada por Whatsapp.

 

Esperamos que disfrutéis de ello.

Airbus to take up the hydrogen contrail characterisation challenge

Airbus UpNext, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Airbus, has revealed a flight test programme to study the contrails produced by a hydrogen combustion engine as part the Company's ZEROe roadmap. The project, named "Blue Condor", will launch two modified Arcus gliders, one equipped with a hydrogen combustion engine and one equipped with a conventional kerosene-powered combustion engine, in order to compare contrails emitted at high altitudes.

Nature's strongest known material inspires green alternative to Kevlar

Nature is capable of producing materials of incredible strength, with spider silk one of the most celebrated examples. In 2015, a group of scientists made a game-changing discovery in this area, demonstrating that the teeth of clingy molluscs called limpets actually have the strongest tensile strength of any biological material. Drawing inspiration from these flinty fangs, the team has produced a composite biomaterial with extreme strength, which could provide a more sustainable alternative to high-performance materials such as Kevlar.
