Apropos nothing... Everyone always talking about quantum computing and quantum information as the big second-generation* quantum-tech applications. (Someday I will get into what I think about quantum computing.) But there's a whole world of quantum sensing out there that's way more successful, starting with atomic clocks, which are already an established second-gen quantum technology.

Here's a recent result in quantum sensing:

* First-generation quantum tech is things that rely on the quantum nature of materials. The whole semi-conductor industry, and lasers, are the primary examples. Second-generation quantum tech is technology that relies on quantum control: the active building and control of quantum systems. By far the earliest example, and the most commercially advanced, is quantum clocks. But there are other types of quantum sensors on the market (mainly quantum magnetometers).

#quantum sensing #quantum technology #there are a couple secondary articles on this that are way flashier than this one that are much easier to stumble across #but they all link back to this and I assume this is the most accurate

I was referencing the things put forth by OP, in order:

Huge wiring harnesses simplified: Cybertruck Guy and Radmad are both wrong, for different reasons.

Current industry standards don't have separate wires for each individual switch or control, either. They group several switches, lights, etc. that are nearby together, run them into a microcontroller, and put that controller on a vehicle bus. Currently that's usually a CAN (redundant, fault-tolerant) or LIN (neither, but much simpler) bus. This drastically simplifies wiring harnesses.

The main thing Tesla has done is change the DC voltage for that bus from 12 V to 48 V nominal. Since power is voltage times current, and wire thickness is dependent on current, this cuts about half the copper mass out of the power lines in the harness. The other (data) lines were already using smaller wires. The industry has been flirting with a 48V bus for around two decades by now; Tesla just went and did it and dealt with the engineering problems when they popped up. And this is a rare case where "they're a bunch of Silicon Valley nerds" may have helped: datacenters have been using 48V DC for in-rack power delivery for decades, so they had more familiarity with it than Detroit.

They've also adopted single-pair Ethernet (1000base-T1) for the high-speed entertainment data links. This technology has been in the industry since late 2016. It's usually integrated directly onto the custom ICs in ECUs. I remember another thread like this with a tweet where someone was complaining about the fragility of RJ-45 plugs and how that's disqualifying for a vehicle, and he's right, but single-pair Ethernet does not use those jacks; it's integrated into wiring harnesses with everything else.

Astronauts laded on the moon with altitude markers hand etched on the window: That was a backup system dramatized by the Apollo 13 movie. They had an inertial navigation system, like aircraft do, as their primary navigation.

Oh, and it's attitude, not altitude. Very different concepts that folks should not mix up.

Can't get a rocket off the pad without blowing up: Neither could NASA their first few years. Meanwhile SpaceX had 98 successful orbital flights last year, and they can reuse their boosters (the record is 18 times). But that's way off topic.

Tesla Model Y broke: It's not news when non-Teslas lose power steering, apparently. And I've had cars that took many more than three appointments to fix. We can throw around anecdata all day.

Series wiring like Christmas lights: Come on, you've got no basis for that.

It's like the Titan sub: Sigh. Really?

Okay, now to the RDN link:

the vehicle’s angular design and stainless steel body could pose danger to other road users

Absolutely true. Also true of almost every luxury pickup truck on the market. One example:

I'm all for figuring out some kind of regulatory regime to rein this in. Or maybe a modification of liability rules and increased insurance coverage minimums.

“The big problem there is if they really make the skin of the vehicle very stiff by using thick stainless steel, then when people hit their heads on it, it’s going to cause more damage to them,”

True, but it's not that thick or stiff; the speaker was speculating. Other have pointed out that "we shot it with a Tommy gun" is a lousy test because the bullets are rather low velocity. If you watch the side impact crash test, you can see the side panels visibly flexing.

And right after that, an IIHS rep said, “IIHS hasn’t evaluated the Cybertruck. The discussions we’ve seen so far appear to be based on speculation. I would add that our experience with Tesla is that they aim for the highest safety ratings in IIHS tests. We have no reason to expect anything different with the Cybertruck.”

The biggest problem with Teslas, from insurance companies' perspectives, has been that airbag-deployed collisions tend to result in totaling the vehicle more often than in other cars. Occupant safety, on the other hand, seems to be better than average. We've seen people walk away from their Model 3s after they got T-boned by speeding pickups (60-ish MPH in a 30 zone). We know this from accident reconstruction and camera data.

There's a linked video in the article comparing the Tesla Cybertruck collision to a Dodge Ram 1500. There are several others like it on YouTube (I saw one that had six trucks in it, all synced up). They all have the same flaw: they're comparing different crash types. The Cybertruck is doing a full frontal crash, where you drive the vehicle into a solid, immovable wall, while the others are moderate overlap crashes, where the hood goes over the obstacle and only the left 1/3 of the vehicle is obstructed, so the engine can deflect to the sides instead of going into the firewall and then the passenger compartment. The Cybertruck, of course, does not have a large engine in that space; it's mostly cargo storage. And we can clearly see it crumpling and the front wheel moving outward instead of back into the passenger compartment, like practically all cars do now.

(Some folks like to point out how the rear wheel breaks away, too: this is expected because it's a steering wheel, since the Cybertruck has four-wheel steering, and uses the same suspension technology as the front, instead of connecting the rear wheels more directly to the rear axle like most vehicles. Not completely directly, though, like the Chevy Corvair's swing axles. In any case, kinetic energy breaking the rear wheels off like that is energy that isn't compromising the cabin.)

The article addresses the "lack" of crumple zones:

Samer Hamdar, a George Washington University auto safety professor, told Reuters that while a lack of crumple zones concerned him, there could be other factors that accounted for it. “There might be a possibility of shock-absorbent mechanism that will limit the fact that you have a limited crumple zone,” Hamdar said.

I'm not going to speculate about crumple zones beyond the above ("the cargo area collapses, taking some energy with it; we have to see if that's enough to call a crumple zone, but it's not nothing") until someone tears one down and documents it. But crumple zones aren't the only means of keeping kinetic energy out of the passengers.

The rest of the article goes back to concerns about pedestrian safety, which seem to be the main substantive concern, and is noted at the end of this video:

youtube

And again, pedestrian safety is an industry-wide problem. We need another Ralph Nader, but demonizing Tesla alone (god it's so easy, Elon is such an asshole) only gives cover to the rest of the industry. And none of the tweets in OP's post spoke of this.

🚀🛸🚀

As Boeing admitted in court documents, Boeing—through two of its 737 MAX Flight Technical Pilots—deceived the FAA AEG about an important aircraft part called the Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System (MCAS) that impacted the flight control system of the Boeing 737 MAX. Because of their deception, a key document published by the FAA AEG lacked information about MCAS, and in turn, airplane manuals and pilot-training materials for U.S.-based airlines lacked information about MCAS.

Boeing began developing and marketing the 737 MAX in or around June 2011. Before any U.S.-based airline could operate the new 737 MAX, U.S. regulations required the FAA to evaluate and approve the airplane for commercial use.

In connection with this process, the FAA AEG was principally responsible for determining the minimum level of pilot training required for a pilot to fly the 737 MAX for a U.S.-based airline, based on the nature and extent of the differences between the 737 MAX and the prior version of Boeing’s 737 airplane, the 737 Next Generation (NG).

The Boeing 737-800 that crash-landed in Korea, Price noted, is "a very proven airplane. "It's different from the Max ... It's a very safe airplane.''

For decades, Boeing has maintained a role as one of the giants of American manufacturing. But the past year's repeated troubles have been damaging. The company's stock price is down more than 30 percent in 2024.

⛈️⛈️⛈️

In July, Boeing agreed to plead guilty to conspiracy to commit fraud for deceiving the Federal Aviation Administration regulators who approved the 737 Max. Acting on Boeing's incomplete disclosures, the FAA approved minimal, computer-based training instead of more intensive training in flight simulators. Simulator training would have increased the cost for airlines to operate the Max and might have pushed some to buy planes from Airbus instead. (Prosecutors said they lacked evidence to argue that Boeing's deception had played a role in the crashes.)

Boeing, a U.S.-based multinational corporation that designs, manufactures, and sells commercial airplanes to airlines worldwide, entered into a deferred prosecution agreement (DPA) in connection with a criminal information filed today in the Northern District of Texas. The criminal information charges the company with one count of conspiracy to defraud the United States. Under the terms of the DPA, Boeing will pay a total criminal monetary amount of over $2.5 billion, composed of a criminal monetary penalty of $243.6 million, compensation payments to Boeing’s 737 MAX airline customers of $1.77 billion, and the establishment of a $500 million crash-victim beneficiaries fund to compensate the heirs, relatives, and legal beneficiaries of the 346 passengers who died in the Boeing 737 MAX crashes of Lion Air Flight 610 and Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302.

✈️🛫 25 years of carbon fiber production at Airbus Illescas plant (2015 Oct 6) vs ✈️🛩️ Japan crash marks test of how new carbon jets cope in a disaster (January 4, 2024)

🌋 WASHINGTON/LONDON, Jan 4 (Reuters) - Tuesday's runway collision in Japan marks the first time a modern lightweight airliner has burnt down and is being seen as a test case for how well a new generation of carbon-composite airplanes copes with a catastrophic fire. 🔥🔥🔥

🌋 The fuselage and wings of the crashed Japan Airlines Airbus A350 were made using a carbon-composite material that's likely to receive renewed attention in the aftermath of Tuesday's fiery accident.

🌋 Experts have remarked on the material of the plane's construction in discussing the spread of the fire — but have not so far suggested it worsened the disaster.

Safe operations with composite aircraft

Composite materials are increasingly used in aircraft design. The A350 XWB is the most recent illustration of this trend. Yet if the benefits of composite materials are not in doubt for airlines, some questions still remain as to their potential effects on safety.

⛽🚨🛢️

Fire

Fire, Smoke and Toxicity requirements (FST) are applied for all aircraft interior elements. Composite materials are common to both structure and cabin, they therefore also have to fulfil the same smoke and toxicity requirements. Concerning the resistance to fire, it is interesting to note that CFRP is auto-extinguishable and that the thinner composite fuselage skin is more “burn through” resistant than a metallic equivalent.

🚑🚒🚐

Carbon-Fibre Components: Lighter, Stronger, Tougher

The use of carbon-fibre components in the aviation industry is becoming more and more common. But for Airbus, Carbon Fibre Reinforced Plastic (CFRP) components are nothing new.

Airbus has used carbon-fibre materials for years. starting with the A310-200 in 1983 when the spoilers, airbrakes and rudder were made of sandwich CFRP. Three years later, the A310-300 pioneered the introduction of composite on a primary structure with the vertical tail plane designed in monolithic CFRP. On the A320, carbon-fibre materials were used on flaps, ailerons, spoilers and on the vertical and horizontal tail planes. On the A340-600 the rear pressure bulkhead and keel beams were made of CFRP. On the A380, Airbus introduced them in the fuselage rear section and centre wing box connecting the two wings together, while the wing ribs moved to carbon-fibre. This evolution continued on the A350 XWB where the entire fuselage and wing skins – more than half of the structure - is made from carbon-fibre composites.

F-20 Tigershark: an F-5 with steroids

Fernando Valduga By Fernando Valduga 12/03/2023 - 22:46 in History, Military

The F-20 Tigershark was a high-level, elegant and robust jet fighter, created to enhance the F-5 model. Northrop Corporation developed it in the 1980s, making it remarkable with advanced avionics, state-of-the-art weapon systems and a powerful engine, reminiscent of a steroid F-5 jet fighter.

It was really an aviation wonder that crossed the line and raised the standards. However, despite being positioned as an important player in the global jet market, military customers did not accept it and the program had to be filed.

The F-20 Tigershark was an updated version of Northrop Corporation's F-5 Freedom Fighter, designed to be a light and affordable jet fighter that could be exported internationally. Northrop had plans to sell to countries such as Taiwan, South Korea and others who were looking for a modern fighter that would fit their budget.

One of the outstanding features of the F-20's design was its fly-by-wire digital control system, allowing exceptional handling and maneuverability. It also included a more robust engine than its predecessor, providing greater speed and better climbing capabilities. In addition, the F-20 incorporated some stealth features to reduce its radar cross-section and used materials that absorbed the radar.

Any buyers?

The F-20 Tigershark completed an extensive flight test program during development. In August 82, the first prototype flew from Edwards Air Force Base in California, reaching 20,000 feet and Mach 1.4 on its 35-minute maiden voyage. In the following months, the prototype underwent handling, performance and system tests. In November, it reached Mach 2.05 during a maximum speed attempt, in addition to discreet demonstrations of avionics, weaponry and stealth in flight.

youtube

In addition to the tests in the US, the F-20 also had demonstrations in countries such as South Korea and Switzerland to boost sales. High-speed performance, high-G curves, low-level flights and handling impressed potential buyers during these demonstrations.

Overshadowed by the competition

The F-20 Tigershark project faced a variety of challenges that eventually led to its cancellation. The intense competition in the global jet fighter market was a key factor, as the F-20 encountered strong competition from other popular models such as the F-16 and Mirage 2000. Many potential buyers have opted for these established projects, considered safer and more reliable.

Political pressure also contributed to the fall of the F-20. The U.S. government was concerned that the F-20 could reduce the price of the more expensive F-16, produced by General Dynamics, an American company. In addition, there were concerns about the sale of advanced military technology to certain countries, such as Taiwan, one of the main potential buyers of the F-20. This damaged Northrop's marketing efforts and led to limited sales.

Economic factors also played a role at the end of the program. Northrop invested heavily in the development of the F-20, but without significant requests, it was unlikely that this investment would be recovered. In addition, the high cost of production made it difficult to compete with other established models that had already achieved economies of scale.

FX Program

Much of the development of the F-20 was carried out under a U.S. Department of Defense project called "FX". FX sought to develop fighters that would be able to combat with the latest Soviet aircraft, but excluding sensitive frontline technologies used by U.S. Air Force (USAF) aircraft.

FX was a product of the Carter government's military export policies, which aimed to provide foreign nations with high-quality equipment without the risk of U.S. frontline technology falling into the hands of the Soviets. Northrop had high hopes for the F-20 in the international market, but the policy changes after the election of Ronald Reagan meant that the F-20 had to compete for sales against the newer variants of the F-16 and not with the F-16/79 downgraded.

The F-20 Tigershark program was abandoned in 1986 after three prototypes were built (two of which fell after their pilots fainted due to excessive g-forces) and a partially completed quarter.

youtube

The cool promotional video of the F-20 above was made in the 1980s and presents an introduction of the super ace Chuck Yeager, the first pilot to break the sound barrier, who at the time was a spokesman for Northrop.

In his autobiography, which he wrote after the F-20 was canceled, Yeager praised Tigershark as being "magnificent".
