Image by Author  You’ve read on these pages (and I’m guilty of writing some of those articles) that data science projects are crucial for developing the whole package of technical data science skills. That’s true, they are. But what’s also vital is having high-quality datasets for your data science projects. Collecting quality data is just one of the stages of a data science project, but the one that can make or break it. The question is, where to find this frigging data? Fortunately, numerous websites are offering a wealth of

O-rings play an important role in the aerospace manufacturing industry. Also known as toric joints — a reference to their circular torus shape — they are designed to seal the spaces around hoses and other parts. Connection points for hoses are susceptible to leaks. As the fluid or gas flowing through a hose becomes pressurized, it may leak from a connection point. O-rings, however, can seal spaces such as this to protect against leaks. #1) Commercial Airliners Contain Thousands of O-Rings While the exact number varies, most commercial airliners contain

A screenshot from Digital Combat Simulator. Among all videogames featuring the Viper, Falcon BMS and DCS World are the most accurate representations of the F-16, a civilian can get his/her hands on. The F-16 is one of the world’s most popular and most recognizable fighter jets, so it is not surprising if the Viper, as it is nicknamed by its crews, can be found in all modern air combat videogames. Two of them, however, take the lead as the most realistic reproductions of the F-16, both specifically based on the

We now have new revelations of corruption in the Chinese People’s Liberation Army resulting in, among other things, “missiles filled with water instead of fuel” and missile silos “with lids that don’t function.” According to U.S. officials, this latest bout of corruption “led to an erosion of confidence in the [PLA’s] overall capabilities” and made President Xi Jinping “less likely to contemplate major military action.” Xi responded by purging at least a dozen PLA leaders implicated in the scandal.This report is a reminder that the PLA faces significant challenges —

In the last few years, the aviation industry has experienced many amazing developments. The demand for air travel has increased due to factors like falling jet fuel prices, changing global demographics, and rising income in emerging economies. Over the past ten years, there has been a sharp increase in the annual number of persons boarding aeroplanes. Aircraft manufacture has increased as a result. Technological developments also allow for improvements in aircraft efficiency, safety, noise reduction, and cabin design, all of which drive rising demand. In response to these developments, commercial

With all the little publications I’ve written and illustrated, and all the years of blogging ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT political opinions and the like, it seems that at least *one* of my efforts will go down through the ages: my design for the Orion Battleship. We know to a fair certainty that such a craft was designed in the early 1960s, and that a mockup the size of a car was built; we know some of the components and features of that design. But other than that… we don’t know much. The

U.S. Air Force Maj. Daniel Thompson, 8th Fighter Squadron instructor pilot, conducts an F-16 Viper training sortie over White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico, Aug. 22, 2023. The 54th Fighter Group is one of the premier fighter pilot training groups, training over 50 percent of the Air Force’s Viper pilots. The extensive training takes students fresh from Undergraduate Pilot Training and molds them into highly skilled, combat-ready aviators prepared to support combatant command priorities in any potential future conflicts.

WASHINGTON — The U.S. Space Force last year launched a small satellite on a Firefly rocket in a demonstration of responsive launch, sending the payload to orbit just 27 hours after receiving launch orders. That mission, named Victus Nox, was impressive, Gen. Michael Guetlein, vice chief of space operations of the U.S. Space Force, said Jan. 19. But he cautioned that responsive space should be about more than setting speed records. If a U.S. satellite gets taken out by an adversary, the default response cannot just be to speedily launch
