The Globus is a navigational instrument that uses a rotating globe to show the position of the Soyuz spacecraft above the Earth. Inside the Globus, a complicated system of gears and motors positions the globe. @jonbruner.bsky.social at Lumafield created a three-dimensional X-ray scan for us. 1/4

all ISK-1A mach/airspeed limits. changes with selected (not actual) wing sweep as denoted by the little triangle on the scale.
pretty convenient instrument as you'll know exactly when your wings will fall off at any sweep. also cool that they let you go mach 1.5 at 30° sweep.

We're gonna talk about something fun, cool, not political tonight. The stuff I wanted to use this account for and have degrees and papers and a career in.
We're gonna talk about why steel is a wonder material, probably the material of the future, not just the last century.
Yes, there's a graph.

every thread about the bolt action pistol:
Hey y'all listen: I'm seeing a lot of misinformation about the guy who shot the ceo of united. This is going to make it a lot harder for the police to catch the guy. Good work keep it up.

the design of the ASP-23 (MiG-23M) HUD is pretty funny to me. It's essentially an oldschool gunsight and a genuine heads up display crammed into a single unit
Simultaneously very ahead of its time with its display of radar/IRST contacts, and yet still clutching to the electromechanical past

some of my photos of Su-27S 🇺🇦 "58 blue" from the 2018 airshow in Aalborg
always been curious who the pilot here was (maybe Oksanchenko?)

Go-ahead for the lift-jet equipped MiG-23PD (aircraft 23-01) to be built is given in a goverment decree, issued on 30 April, 1965. Its flight of was with P. M. Ostapenko at the controls, on 3 April, 1967. However, the lift-jet aided STOL solution was quickly abandoned.

Instant Su-33 anywhere on the planet, delivery in the order of "tens of minutes".
I'd seen rendered concepts of this thing and always assumed they were just shitposts from deranged forum users - but no! Turns out this was a serious proposition from a respected engineer named Г.Е. Лозино-Лозинский.

time for a cursed prototype - MiG-29KU (izd. 9-62) naval trainer, Mikoyan's best attempt at making a trainer even uglier than MiG-25PU. Thankfully only ever reached the mockup stage.
