Style mapping is pretty useful! Here I mapped flight tracks: heading (direction) -> angle grounded (flying/not) -> marker vertical rate (of ascent/descend) -> line_color Check out the docs for more possible mappings! https://lnkd.in/g4BxeHdy

New Flybubble video: "Paragliders: Which Class?" https://lnkd.in/gJZA-dw6 Do you know what your wing’s category really means? 🤔 Blindly following EN ratings can lead to surprises! We’ve redefined the classes to make it easier to choose the right wing for you. 👆🥳 We've also categorised the wings section of our website and split them into levels to try and help you choose wings best suited to you.

📢Best of of the year 📢   As 2024 wraps up, let's keep with the posts that resonated the most this year.   Here’s a look at Aprils’s standout post and it’s stats👇   🔺Likes: 743 🔺Comments: 15 🔺Reshares: 53   📢And the Winner Is...📢 Hill Helicopters! 🥇 🚁 Our winners of the week are on a mission to build the world's first truly private helicopter, engineered for flight, designed for owners! 👀 For that, they took the bold decision to make the main composites structure of the HX50 in a single piece: A monolithic #carbonfiber crash cell, beautifully styled and aerodynamically sculpted, that gives them the balance of performance, strength and cost effectiveness! 😍 The company has been able to demonstrate that their approach to making a monolarge in a single piece not only works, but is remarkably cost-effective. 😎 Watch how they've done it in this awesome video! 🤪

Wing shapes take flight Birds can dynamically alter the shape of their wings during flight. Variable feather overlap enables birds to morph their wings. How flight feathers stick together to form a continuous morphing wing https://lnkd.in/g4j_G2JA

Bird-inspired rows of flaps can improve flight performance

Birds fly in a V formation because it’s easier. It’s easier to fly because the aerodynamics of the bird in front of them (disturbed air); the trailing bird will flap either in sync with the bird in front or will be opposite, depending on how close together they are. Being up front requires the most effort—there’s no one to soften the air for you. Yesterday, I saw something for the first time—I saw a leader change. The lead bird simply coasted for a moment and the next-up simple moved ahead and the former leader took its place in line. It was so cool! And so simple. Two questions: What are you doing to make it easier for the people behind you to soar? When will you take a break so someone else can lead… and take the load for a while? #EMS

This unit of speed, deeply rooted in maritime history, continues to be a standard in modern navigation. Here’s a quick dive into its fascinating origins and practical significance: The History - Sailors in the past used a tool called a log line, which was a rope with evenly spaced knots tied along its length. - The log line was thrown into the water, and as the ship moved, sailors counted the number of knots that passed through their hands in a fixed time (usually 30 seconds). - This simple yet ingenious method determined the ship’s speed in “knots.” Why Knots? • 1 Knot = 1 Nautical Mile per Hour. • Nautical miles are based on the Earth’s geometry (1 nautical mile = 1 minute of latitude = 1.852 kilometers). This makes them ideal for navigation, especially over long distances. The Practicality Using knots ensures consistency and accuracy in maritime and aerial navigation. Since nautical miles align with the Earth’s curvature, they simplify calculations for charts, maps, and global positioning. Knots aren’t just a unit of speed—they’re a nod to the ingenuity of sailors and the timeless connection between navigation and the natural world.
