Sustainable Lessons from Eco-Pulse Reported by Daher, Safran, and Airbus - JulietBravoFox Media
With the report from Daher, Safran & Airbus on the Eco-Pulse hybrid-electric TBM-inflected tech demonstrator, we have the opportunity to stay future-forward—and incorporate lessons learned.

Now this looks like an interesting system. The blown wing could significantly improve short field performance
I don't know much about the EcoPulse aircraft, developed by Safran and Airbus and based off a Daher TBM, but look at all those little "eProprellers" go!

Interesting little bit of Unix history
Ever wondered why ~ represents the home directory on unix systems?
It’s an artifact of a very particular keyboard.
The Lear-Siegler ADM-3A terminal was quite popular in the 1970s, and happens to have a HOME key that is also a tilde.
Notice anything else?

That is an impressive engineering station
Good Morning Bluesky!
This is the flight engineering station on a B-36 Peacemaker (6 piston engines and 4 jet engines). I hope your day is at least marginally less complicated than monitoring this would be.
