#OTD in 1961, USS Enterprise was commissioned, becoming the world's first nuclear-powered aircraft carrier. CVN-65 was the eighth U.S. naval vessel to bear the name Enterprise. The Gerald R. Ford-class carrier CVN-80 currently under construction will continue the tradition.

Fundstück auf Linkedin: Die Niederlande lassen sich ein #Drohnenabwehr-Gitter für ihre PzH2000 bauen. Ich bin gespannt, ob solche Konstruktionen auch bei der #Bundeswehr Einzug halten. Siehe die Kriege in der Ukraine und Gaza.

We need to stop calling it a ‘peace plan,’ even with sarcastic quotes around it. Call it the US-Kremlin plan or similar.
‘US-Kremlin plan’ shames the US and makes it sound deeply unappealing to the broader US and European publics.

Why I’m concerned about inflight ultra-fast Starlink WiFi
The proliferation of aircraft equipped with ultra-fast inflight WiFi courtesy of SpaceX and Starlink is getting a lot of positive press right now, but at the risk of sounding like a Luddite, I'm yet to be convinced that access to speedy inflight WiFi is going to be a net-positive for air travel and for customers.

La promesse de vente de Rafale à l’Ukraine, une annonce forte au financement très incertain
Comme toutes les lettres d’intention, celle signée par Emmanuel Macron et Volodymyr Zelensky, lundi, n’est pas un contrat en bonne et due forme, mais la simple formalisation de négociations en cours.

Nord 1402 "Gerfaut" was an experimental aircraft, one of the very first french delta-wing aircraft in 1954.
On 3 August, piloted by André Turcat, it became one of the first European aircraft to break the sound barrier in horizontal flight, without even using afterburners. Illustration by Jean Masse.
