Earlier this week, members of our #aviation team in Raleigh, NC attended flight demonstrations by Wing #drone delivery. 🚁 Weather was "cloudy with a chance of dessert". 🍨 We got ice cream... literally falling from the sky! 😊 #aam #aerospace #aircraft #engineering #microfreight #verticalflight #vtols

You who have been working in aviation for years... Aren't you still excited like a kid every time you are in a plane? And aren't you proud of enabling the coolest mode of transportation ever? I am! ✋😊✈️ #airtravel #avgeeks #aviation #engineering #infrastructure #mobility #transportation #stem

They have a great catalogue of models reasonably priced. I got a pair of #Antonov #aircraft to add to my fleet of 1:200s. 😊 Items were very well-packed for their journey. 📦 Which btw... took 7 business days only from Kyiv to North Carolina! Big kudos to #Ukrposhta & its partners. (2/3) ✈️🇺🇦 #avgeeks

🚨 Avgeek #unboxing alert 🚨 If you appreciate Ukrainian #aerospace #engineering and you want to treat yourself, take a look at the https://www.nauport.com.ua/ online shop created by graduates of the Ukrainian National #Aviation University. (1/3) ✈️🇺🇦 #avgeeks #engineering #SlavaUkraini

Models came with a bunch of great #aviation & #postal goodies! 🎁 Oh and NAUport do also crowdfunding to support the defense effort against Russia's war of aggression in collab with An-225 pilot Dmytro Antonov. 🛡️ I still can't believe they destroyed his legendary 6-engine ride.

Supersonic #airliners are trendy these days. XB-1 flew M>1.0 this year: https://www.livescience.com/technology/engineering/nasa-captures-stunning-new-image-of-shock-waves-from-next-gen-supersonic-plane-as-it-flies-across-the-sun. COMAC is studying low-boom technologies: https://aviationweek.com/aerospace/emerging-technologies/comac-studies-low-boom-supersonic-airliner-future-option.

But is there really a future for #supersonic air #transportation? And how could they fit in tomorrow's #airport context? Read our analyses in #TheFutureOfAirports: A Vision of 2040 & 2070: https://www.alumni.enac.fr/en/publications/reports-and-studies/airports-5938.

Are you too experiencing symptoms such as Martin Mars nostalgia because USSOCOM didn't follow through with the MC-130J floatplane concept? ☹️ This ATR 72 conversion idea may help you: https://positive-aviation.com/. 👍 And yes, it's a waterbomber! ☺️ #aerialfirefighting #aircraft #aviation #engineering #stem

Firefighting #rotorcraft shortfall prompts Bell’s 214ST reboot: https://aviationweek.com/aerospace/aircraft-propulsion/firefighting-rotorcraft-shortfall-prompts-bells-214st-reboot. Aerial #firefighting is an #aerospace niche but it is a critical one. Within that niche, #VTOL aircraft bring unique capabilities. They deliver water and retardant precisely, transport firefighters to remote areas, and perform aerial reconnaissance. VTOLs are essential assets for rapid response and effective wildfire management. 💪🚁 #aircraft #aviation #emergencymanagement #engineering #verticalflight

This very cool model of the SLS is exhibited at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (MSY) in honor of NASA's Michoud Assembly Facility where the core stage of the launcher is manufactured. 🤩🚀 #airports #airtravel #NOLA #space

I was flying via MSP a few weeks ago and I spotted this Yo-Kai Express ramen-o-matic vending machine. 🍜😊 I was not hungry at that time so I didn't try it. 🍥 But I'm curious... Does the food taste good? 😋 Yo-Kai has several machines in the United States and Asia! 🌎 #airports #airtravel #aviation #cx #paxex

I'm really getting tired of all these phishing emails. But at the same time I find utterly funny that old-school scammers still doing the "gm I'm the real Bill Gates and I feel like giving you a few millions today" are coexisting with elaborate operations accurately impersonating individuals and even entire companies based on info gathered during carefully planned data breaches. 🤨 Anyway... Stay safe and listen to your CISO! ☺️ #cybersecurity

If you haven't been yet to the National Museum of the #USAF in Dayton, OH, make sure it's on your #avgeek bucket list. 📜 I finally had a chance to visit this temple to military #aviation a few years ago. I could have stayed there visiting for days... ☺️🚁🛩️✈️🚀🛰️ #aircraft #airforce #aviationhistory #engineering #military #stem
