Been spending more time in New York City, the variety and volume of aviation traffic here is genuinely incredible.

The vortices are always there, it's just that we need high relative humidity to be able to see them through condensation. A vortex will usually spawn at the location of a discontinuity of spanwise loading at the wing, which can be the wingtip, the flap edge, or both simultaneously! 😁

Made my first trip up to Barnes Air National Guard Base recently. Didn't manage to capture any F-15s in flight, but did stop to admire this beautiful memorial display aircraft positioned at the front gate.

Was hoping to see some condensation pulled out of the air by the planes in flight, but the humidity really wasn't high enough today. The clouds did make for an interesting backdrop though...

As anticipated, SAFER barriers will be used at the very high-speed Turn 17 of the Las Vegas Circuit. This cross section shows the welded steel tube construction of the outer barrier and energy-absorbing polystyrene foam behind. ⤵️

I recently joined the Silver Arrows Podcast to discuss the eventful Brazilian GP, analysis of the Sprint format, and what positives Mercedes could take away despite having a dreadful weekend at Interlagos. ⤵️

The slipstream effect in Las Vegas is expected to be very powerful, not only because of the large number of straights, but because the very low ambient temperatures at night (~5° C) will increase ambient air density and as a result all aerodynamic forces.

Mercedes has once again joined the club of using old-school solutions to evaluate aerodynamic performance. In lieu of flow-vis to evaluate their new floor edge, they are using tufts in FP1 (light green in the photo). (1/2)

At Indianapolis, the #535 Sky Tempesta Racing Ferrari 488 GT3 Evo featured a beautiful throwback livery inspired by the upcoming Michael Mann biopic “Ferrari.”
