The Far Roofs

So today I want to talk a bit about what this game wants to be. In particular, I'm going to go over its key technical and artistic goals.

The Far Roofs focuses on immersive hidden world fantasy adventure. It's intended to offer the experience of a grounded, emotionally real base world attached to an idealized, fantastic "hidden world" setting.

One might say, the streets and buildings and houses of the game's world are basically our own. Above us, though, is a stranger, more idealized, and more fantastic place. It's hard to get to. It's dangerous. It's less grounded. It's full of wonder.

Those are the Far Roofs.

This divide exists to make the game feel as real as possible, if you want to go that way. That's part of what hidden world fantasy is about, after all---the idea that magic is here. That it's not in some distant alien land or mythic future or past.

It's here, if you want to reach for it.

(Now, the game is flexible enough that you can play "protagonist" types instead of realer people, and many traditional gaming groups will probably prefer that, but that'll mean getting less of that immersive effect.)

The mood the game is interested in is that feeling you get when you take a huge risk---move to a new place; try a new thing. The feeling you get in those times in your life when everything is alienated and wondrous and terrifying but there's also so much more *hope* than there was in the still times before.

It's a mood of being swept up and called forward.

This is, among other things, meant to be a game for people who've been beaten down or exhausted by the ... everything ... to feel that sensation of moving forward again.

To remember what it's like, why it's worth it, how to reach for it again.

It's meant---and I do understand that I am finite and flawed and this can only go so far---as a tonic and refreshment to the soul.

--

Rules

The Far Roofs uses a 5d6-based dice pool system for day-to-day task resolution. It's relatively traditional and optimized for fast, fun dice reading. There's a loose consensus I've seen in RPG design circles that dice are for when outcomes are uncertain and both options are interesting, and I don't disagree ... but there's also this thing where rolling dice to decide is intrinsically interesting and fun, where it's fuel for a certain part of the brain.

This game tries to get as much out of that side of dice as it can.

You'll also collect letter tiles and cards over the course of the game. This is for bigger-picture stuff:

To answer big questions and to complete big projects, you'll either assemble representative words out of those tiles, or, play a poker hand built out of those cards. Word and their nuances express ideas and shape how outcomes play out; poker hands, conversely, just give a qualitative measure of how much work you do or how well things will go.

In keeping with this, the campaign is represented principally in the form of questions or issues your words and hands can address. Player/GM-created campaigns would be the same.

--

Physical and Electronic Product

I wanted to put the print version within the range of as many people who might need that tonic as possible. That means that for this particular game, I wanted to cover the full territory that I'd normally cover in a two or three volume set (core rules, setting, and campaign) in a single 200-250-page volume.

In practice this means there's a guide and examples for constructing the setting, rather than a deep dive into a fully-detailed world; that there's a bit less in the way of whimsical digression and flourish than in the writing I'm known for; that there's minimal "flavor" text on abilities; and that the campaign presentation is pretty fast-paced.

Conversely, it means that the game should be easy to absorb and to share with other possible players, and, that the game and campaign in this one relatively small volume should provide enough content for five or six years of play.

The book will be 8.5"x11" with grayscale art, available in a limited hardcover print run and a print-on-demand softcover form.

--

On the Rats

You'll see a lot of talk from me and others about the talking rats in this game. They're one of the jewels of the experience, and I think they're probably a significant draw just for being talking rats that are core to the game.

... but I'm going to hold off for now, because, to be clear, this is not a game of playing talking rats. It's just a game where talking rats and probably one of the top three most important setting elements.

I couldn't get that feeling I wanted of ... the base world being grounded realism; of the hidden world pulling you up and out and into a world full of magic ... with your playing rats, with your playing something so distant from the typical player.

So this is not a game of playing them.

They're just ... I like rats, and so I made the rats in this game with love. They're great ... whatever the equivalent is to "psychopomps" is for a magical world instead of for death ... and a way of talking about how in the face of the world, we're all pretty small.

I'm really excited about this game; the playtest was lovely.

I hope you'll enjoy it as well!

HELLO my first fic is finally done!!!! im posting some of the intro under the cut, but the whole thing is up on AO3!! (pls dont look at the word count it's really embarrassing)

It’s days like this that make Boothill consider giving up on his hunt.

Well, consider is too strong a word; it’s only ever a passing fancy, a brief flicker of doubt that he discards immediately. He’s a man on a mission, after all, and he’s nothing if not determined. He's proud of his ruthless optimism in the face of adversity; it's kept him going this long. Still, he’s willing to admit that work like his isn’t all sunshine, and certainly has its rainy days – this one definitely included. 

He’s finally on his way home after an exceptionally long and frustrating job, one that seemed engineered to piss him off, one that he failed, and he’s eager to get back to your shared apartment, clean up, recharge, and spend some desperately needed time with you. He’d sent you a message to let you know he was on his way back a few system hours ago, and you’d excitedly responded with a string of emojis so long it filled his entire phone screen. The hour is rather late for you to be up – not terribly late, but enough that he's lucky you're awake.

He’s exhausted and frustrated and filthy and he absolutely reeks; he didn’t have the time to clean up before heading back, and frankly, even if he did, he thinks he might’ve combusted on the spot if he spent another second on that god-forsaken bog of a planet. As he climbs the stairs up to the apartment, he's nearly tempted to collapse on them and pass out for a few hours, but the urge to see you keeps him moving.

“I’m home, sweetpea,” he calls as the door shuts behind him. He retracts the spurs on his ankles and sluggishly wipes his feet on the mat – a habit you’d been sure to instill in him the moment the two of you started living together. (“You always track in so much dirt! And no, just because you technically don't wear boots doesn't mean you don't have to wipe off the mud,” you scolded him. “Maybe I should start making you clean it up.” That straightened him out real quick.) His hat is hung in its designated spot next to your favorite jacket, looking exceptionally out of place considering the grime that coats it.

He slumps against the door, utterly drained, then tilts his head at your lack of response. You’re home and awake, he knows that much; your usual shoes are by the door, and he can hear movement in the kitchen. A tantalizing smell radiates into the entryway, and he’s willing to bet it’s some kind of stew; you always make it on days that you know he’s coming home.

He turns the corner around the kitchen and finds you with your back to him, busy with something on the stove, then sees why you hadn't answered him; you've got your headphones on, moving to a beat he can just barely hear, muttering along to it under your breath. His lips quirk, fondness unfurling in his chest; a little spark of mischief arrives on its coattails, chasing away his exhaustion for the moment. He steps lightly onto the tile, quieter than he needs to be, eyes glimmering. Closer, closer, closer he creeps, until he's towering behind you, just within reach. With a glance, he makes sure you aren't holding anything too important, and then– 

You squeal in surprise as his arms snake around your waist, hauling you back against his chest with unyielding strength. With a mighty squirm, you whip around to identify your attacker, and your face lights up so perfectly that if he wasn't grinning before, he certainly is now. You laugh in delight, rushing to shake off your headphones and shove them onto the counter. The moment your hands are free, you leap against him in earnest, hard enough that he'd stumble if he weren't made of metal. 

You curl your arms tightly around his shoulders, wrapping your legs around his hips in a death grip like you’re trying to crush him, as you always do. His hands slip down beneath your thighs to support you in your efforts, as he always does. 

Either you don't notice how filthy he is (very hard to believe) or you don't care, because you pepper his face with kisses relentlessly. By the time you're done with your assault, he's chuckling, all dazed and giddy, his weariness melting away at your touch. Cupping your hands around his face, you beam at him, eyes shining.

“Hi, honeybee,” you say, a little breathless.

“Hey there, buttercup,” he answers with a squeeze on your thighs. He resists the urge to rub his cheek against yours as he usually does, conscious of the grime that coats him like a second skin. “Did ya miss me that much?”

You scoff and roll your eyes as dramatically as you can manage. “Like you even need to ask. Feels like it’s been forever.” You pinch his cheeks, then laugh as he nips at your fingers. “How was the mission?”

He groans, and he isn't even exaggerating.  (read more on ao3 !!)

Part of the problem with Fate Grand Order is the core gameplay is fundamentally flawed, and it's very difficult to restore "a fun game" around a flawed core.

Quick and Buster and Arts were all interesting notions, and could have mapped into action gameplay (if we were to merge FGO's ideas with FSR's gameplay I would equate them to fast attacks, heavy attacks, and weaker attacks meant to charge your special bar, but I digress).

As it is, though, it just makes for unpleasant feelings in gameplay, demanding optimizations (I would point out that in the international release we only recently got the ability to combo all three together, and made Quick chains strong enough to consider independently). Those optimizations rise up around every aspect of the game; only a select few Servants have the ability to AoE without accessing their Noble Phantasm, and they haven't even made it to international. There's a wide range of Craft Essences, but only a few that ever matter. Creativity in builds is tamped down around increasingly narrowed build notions as the devs design with over-optimized teams in mind.

The end result is a game that, optimally, advises you to use your super rare fully powered optimized support, your friends' identically super rare fully powered optimized support, and a high power damage Servant, and repeatedly fire the damage dealer's Noble Phantasm to either clear waves or kill bosses.

Speaking of which, from a lore perspective, this is also completely messed up. By the lore of the Nasuverse, a Noble Phantasm is a Servant's super secret ultimate move, only meant for the final hour. This is fully incongruous with the gameplay, where you typically throw the same world-ending mythology-defining techniques three times in a row and call it a day. (Entertainingly, in the International release, we've also made it to Traum, where we see faceless Servants fire their Noble Phantasms like simple artillery, but that's its own commentary.)

Like, it's so effortless to imagine better systems than this! Servants deployed on a chessboard-like map, heralding back to the themes of Fate Apocrypha; suddenly we don't need anything as mechanically obtuse as Class Advantages when we could organically differentiate each Class by how they navigate the board or how they fight each other (Riders can leap over enemies like knight pieces in chess; Archers can attack at range without moving; Lancers do really well on Attack but have poor Defense; and Berserkers can be the units of terror that lore implies!)

Alternatively, the Grail Battlefronts we've already seen- rework the entire game to operate more organically like that; maybe Servants can use skills without entering combat, but it exhausts their actions. Then different forms of gameplay can exist beyond just "mulch the enemy"; like "defend this location" or "collect these resources" or "defeat This Particular Foe".

Or, even if we had to work with just the system we have! Change THAT! Rather than select three cards from a set of five, have it go down the list; each Servant gets One Action to either pick from "Quick, Buster, Arts, Use A Skill".

As for Servant Customization, walk it all the way back, all the way back up to the Attack/HP boosting. Make it so that players can individually optimize Servant performance in different ways- this Servant has better output in Arts, that Servant has higher Crit Star generation. And for folks who'd already spent their Fous, you could just say "right, so anybody with Fous spent can now allocate those points into these new Stats! No harm done!"

Of course, in order to do this, they would likely need to construct a whole new framework for their game, whilst preserving the progress people have made until now.

Then again, they are presently building castles in the sand during the rising tide with one hand and bandaging bullet wounds with the other, so maybe a long shot like that is what they need.

Building a cargo spaceship capable of exploring our solar system based on current technology and the knowledge gleaned from our understanding of engineering, science, and chemistry requires us to work within practical and realistic constraints, given that we're not yet in an era of faster-than-light travel. This project would involve a modular design, reliable propulsion systems, life support, cargo handling, and advanced automation or AI. Here’s a conceptual breakdown:

1. Ship Structure

Hull and Frame: A spaceship designed for deep space exploration needs a durable, lightweight frame. Advanced materials like titanium alloys and carbon-fiber composites would be used to ensure structural integrity under the stress of space travel while keeping the mass low. The outer hull would be made with multi-layered insulation to protect against micrometeorites and space radiation.

Dimensions: A cargo space vessel could be roughly 80-100 meters long and 30 meters wide, giving it sufficient space for cargo holds, living quarters, and propulsion systems.

Cost: $500 million (materials, assembly, and insulation).

2. Propulsion Systems

Primary Propulsion: Nuclear Thermal Propulsion (NTP) or Nuclear Electric Propulsion (NEP):

NTP would involve heating hydrogen with a nuclear reactor to achieve high exhaust velocities, providing faster travel times across the solar system. NEP converts nuclear energy into electricity, driving highly efficient ion thrusters. Both systems offer relatively efficient interplanetary travel.

A hybrid solution between NTP and NEP could optimize fuel efficiency for longer trips and maneuverability near celestial bodies.

Cost: $1 billion (development of nuclear propulsion, reactors, and installation).

Fuel: For NTP, hydrogen would be used as a propellant; for NEP, xenon or argon would be the ionized fuel. It would be replenished through in-space refueling depots or by mining water on asteroids and moons (future prospect).

Cost (fuel): $50 million.

3. Power Systems

Nuclear Fission Reactor: A compact fission reactor would power the ship’s life support, propulsion, and onboard systems. Reactors designed by NASA’s Kilopower project would provide consistent energy for long missions.

Backup Solar Arrays: Solar panels, optimized for efficiency beyond Mars’ orbit, would serve as secondary power sources in case of reactor failure.

Cost: $300 million (including reactors, solar panels, and energy storage systems).

4. Cargo Modules

The cargo holds need to be pressurized and temperature-controlled for sensitive materials or scientific samples, while some holds could be left unpressurized for bulk materials like metals, water, or fuel.

Modular Design: The ship should have detachable cargo pods for easy unloading and resupply at different planetary bodies or space stations.

Cost: $200 million (modular design, pressurization systems, automation).

5. Life Support Systems

Water and Oxygen Recycling: Systems like NASA’s Environmental Control and Life Support System (ECLSS) would recycle water, oxygen, and even waste. These systems are key for long-duration missions where resupply may be limited.

CO2 Scrubbers: To remove carbon dioxide from the air, maintaining breathable conditions for the crew.

Artificial Gravity (optional): A rotating section of the ship could generate artificial gravity through centripetal force, improving the crew’s health on longer missions. However, this would increase complexity and cost.

Cost: $200 million (life support systems, with optional artificial gravity setup).

6. AI and Automation

AI-Controlled Systems: AI would manage navigation, propulsion optimization, cargo handling, and even medical diagnostics. Automated drones could be used for ship maintenance and repairs in space.

Navigation: Advanced AI would assist in calculating complex orbital maneuvers, interplanetary transfers, and landings.

Autonomous Cargo Handling: Robotics and AI would ensure that cargo can be efficiently moved between space stations, planets, and the ship.

Cost: $150 million (AI development, robotics, automation).

7. Communication and Sensors

Communication Arrays: High-gain antennas would allow for deep-space communication back to Earth, supplemented by laser communication systems for high-speed data transfers.

Radars and Sensors: For mapping asteroid belts, detecting anomalies, and navigating planets, advanced LIDAR, radar, and spectrometers would be necessary. These sensors would aid in planetary exploration and mining operations.

Cost: $100 million (communication systems, sensors, and diagnostics).

8. Radiation Protection

Water Shielding: Water, which is also used in life support, would double as a radiation shield around the living quarters.

Electromagnetic Shields: Experimental concepts involve creating a small electromagnetic field around the ship to deflect solar and cosmic radiation (early TRL, requires more development).

Cost: $50 million (radiation shielding).

9. Crew Quarters

Living Quarters: Designed for long-duration missions with the capability to house 4-6 crew members comfortably. The quarters would feature radiation protection, artificial lighting cycles to simulate day and night, and recreational facilities to maintain crew morale on multi-year missions.

Medical Bay: An AI-assisted medical bay equipped with robotic surgery and telemedicine would ensure the crew remains healthy.

Cost: $100 million (crew quarters, recreational facilities, medical systems).

10. Landing and Exploration Modules

Surface Exploration Vehicles: For landing on moons or planets like Mars or Europa, a modular lander or rover system would be required. These vehicles would use methane/oxygen engines or electric propulsion to take off and land on various celestial bodies.

Cost: $300 million (lander, rovers, exploration modules).

---

Total Estimated Cost: $2.95 Billion

Additional Considerations:

1. Launch Vehicles: To get the spacecraft into orbit, you would need a heavy-lift rocket like SpaceX’s Starship or NASA’s Space Launch System (SLS). Multiple launches may be required to assemble the ship in orbit.

Cost (launch): $500 million (several launches).

2. In-Space Assembly: The ship would likely be built and assembled in low-Earth orbit (LEO), with components brought up in stages by heavy-lift rockets.

Cost: $200 million (orbital assembly infrastructure and operations).

---

Grand Total: $3.65 Billion

This estimate provides a general cost breakdown for building a cargo spaceship that could explore and transport materials across the solar system. This concept ship is realistic based on near-future technologies, leveraging both nuclear propulsion and automation to ensure efficient exploration and cargo transportation across the solar system.

Why Does a Generator Need a Load Bank?

Generators play a crucial role in providing power in various scenarios, from emergency backup during power outages to primary power sources in remote locations. Ensuring the reliability and efficiency of a generator is paramount, and one of the key tools in achieving this is a load bank. 

What is a Load Bank?

A load bank is a device designed to provide an artificial load to an electrical power source, such as a generator. This load mimics the operational or "real-world" load that the generator would encounter during actual use. Load banks can be categorized into three main types:

Resistive Load Banks: These simulate resistive loads, such as incandescent lighting and heating loads.

Reactive Load Banks: These simulate inductive loads, such as those found in motors and transformers.

Resistive/Reactive Load Banks: These provide a combination of both resistive and reactive loads to simulate more complex real-world conditions.

The Importance of Load Bank Testing

1. Verifying Generator Performance

Generators are often kept on standby for emergencies, which means they may not be used frequently. Regular load bank testing ensures that the generator is capable of handling its rated capacity when needed. This helps identify any performance issues that could lead to failures during actual operation.

2. Preventing Wet Stacking

Diesel generators, in particular, are prone to a condition known as wet stacking when operated at low loads for extended periods. Wet stacking occurs when unburned fuel accumulates in the exhaust system, leading to reduced efficiency and potential damage. Load bank testing helps prevent wet stacking by running the generator at higher loads, ensuring complete combustion of fuel.

3. Ensuring Proper Cooling

Generators are designed to operate at specific loads to maintain optimal cooling. Running a generator under low or no load can cause inadequate cooling, leading to overheating and potential damage. Load banks help maintain proper operating temperatures by applying appropriate loads during testing.

4. Identifying Potential Issues Early

Load bank testing can reveal hidden issues that might not be apparent during normal operation. These issues could include problems with the generator's electrical and mechanical systems, fuel system, or cooling system. Identifying and addressing these problems early can prevent costly repairs and downtime.

5. Compliance with Regulations

Many industries and jurisdictions have regulations that require regular load bank testing for backup generators. Compliance with these regulations is essential to ensure the safety and reliability of power systems. Using a load bank helps meet these regulatory requirements and avoid potential fines or penalties.

How Load Banks Work

Load banks simulate the load that a generator would encounter during actual use by converting electrical energy into heat. This process involves:

Connecting the Load Bank: The load bank is connected to the generator, typically through a series of power cables.

BMW M3 GT

The BMW M3 e36 was not designed for competition, unlike the M3 E30. The goal of the M3 is now to offer the brand's customers a real road GT. But the birth of the ephemeral GT version in 1995, at the crossroads of the M3 e36 3.0 and 3.2, comes once again from the needs of racing... The M3 GT is a pure niche product reserved for old Europe, where only well-informed connoisseurs can rejoice at not having air conditioning... which is however not the case here. At first glance, neophytes will see nothing but a "tuned" BMW. This generation having been largely consumed at the stake of racing, we will not really blame them. The M3 GTs thus adopt the white indicators "theoretically" reserved for the M3 3.2L at the front, but the side and rear indicators of the M3 3.0. 

All M3 GTs therefore sport the same color British Racing Green (312), a color exclusively reserved for this model. Then, we attack the stimulating signals for emotional enthusiasts: the blade (adjustable in two positions) added under the front spoiler, the trunk spoiler borrowed from the competition 318is (and not the one offered as an option on the M3 coupe with 3rd light stop), or as an option on the M3 GTR, the small "BMW Motorsport International" logos with a blue and red checkerboard replacing the traditional M on the moldings and door sills, the 17" forged aluminum rims, polished and engraved with a large "BMW Motorsport" in their center.The panoply is complete but still relatively sober so as not to disturb the natural elegance of the lines of the BMW e36 coupé. On board the M3 GT, we also go green. There are thus standard sports seats covered in their center with Mexico green nappa leather and anthracite Amaretta on the bolsters. The same green leather is also present on the storm doors. Another special feature of the GT, a carbon fiber veneer on the bottom of the center console and above the glove box. The three-spoke sports steering wheel incorporates the airbag. Under the bonnet, a strut bar hangs over the superb 6-throttle intake manifold of the 3.0 engine (code S50B30) from Motoren Werke of Bavaria. Revisited for the occasion, it was offered more pointed camshafts and electronic management of the recalibrated Vanos system. The M3 gains 9 additional hp and a chouille of torque 32.9 mkg at 3900 rpm (instead of 32.6 at 3600). On the other hand, what the figures do not reflect is the even more explosive character of this 6 in line of anthology. It is even more furious in the 5000-7300 rpm range (cut-off speed), with an inexhaustible will to the rev limiter. In addition, the engineers considered it useful to optimize the lubrication of the S50 with a partitioned crankcase and more powerful pumps for use on the circuit. The exhaust line is the same, however, but the 3.0 lets you get drunk on its metallic and refined sound even better.

B-52 pilots test new instruments to facilitate the flight of BUFF

Fernando Valduga By Fernando Valduga 10/11/2023 - 08:21 in Military

As the B-52 fleet prepares for new engines, radars and other technological upgrades, a team of test pilots and engineers from Edwards Air Base, California, wants to make the old bomber easier for crews to operate.

Specifically, they are testing new instrumentation, including sets of digital motor meters to replace the current analog meters.

The meter groups show information such as fuel flow and exhaust temperature for each of the B-52's eight engines, which helps pilots check for problems and identify defects. The goal is to make the cabin more intuitive so that pilots can devote more attention to fulfilling the missions.

“Piloting the plane is the first step and using it as a weapons system is the final step,” Lieutenant Colonel Scott Pontzer, commander of the 419º Flight Test Squadron and director of the Combined Global Bomber Test Force, said in a press release on August 22. "So if I can reduce the pilot's workload... I can reduce the general brain task."

The concept of human systems integration, where the systems are adapted to the operator and not vice versa, did not exist when the B-52 cabin was first designed in the late 1940s, said Dave Prakash, a former B-52 operational test pilot and flight operator.

“Whether motor instruments or navigation instruments, they are all designed to fit compactly into existing space, but they were not designed to be easy to use,” he said.

For example, pilots perform cross-checks routinely, where they quickly check their air speed indicator, vertical speed indicator, tilt angle and other instruments to make a decision. Weather is essential, especially during a delicate procedure such as landing at night or in adverse weather conditions. But the way the B-52 cabin is arranged can cost precious half a second or a quarter of a second.

"Instrument groups are not designed in the most efficient way for a pilot to do a cross-check," Prakash said. "In addition, the meters and instruments are not even consistent between the left and right pilot seats, so you have to do a different cross-check depending on the seat you are in."

The problem extends to the engine meters, which display the engine pressure ratio (EPR), fuel flow, exhaust gas temperature, rotations per minute (RPM) and oil pressure. During his time as a test pilot, Prakash analyzed how these and other systems, such as navigation, could be optimized for the operator.

"If it takes 20 button taps to do one thing, is there a way to press just two buttons?" he asked.

The Edwards testing team is working on the same issues as the B-52 Commercial Engine Replacement Program goes online. The switch to digital meters should make it easier for operators to quickly check the engines.

"This provides better accuracy, readability and error indications (for example, color changes), to name a few things," said Major Darin Flynn, B-52H test pilot of the 370º Flight Test Squadron. "We also have EPR demand indicators that greatly reduce the workload during the precise adjustment of the accelerator."

The pilots tested three different prototypes of groups of meters in a simulator and then received a questionnaire to record what they liked or dis liked in it.

“In fact, we are measuring their performance on these monitors and we are also getting very good comments, because now they have really seen what the monitors are like,” Flynn said in the statement. "This will help us select the best design option for the B-52."

Differences between the cockpits of the B-52H and the future B-52J (below).

The new B-52 engines are militarized versions of Rolls-Royce's commercial BR725, and the B-52J software will be a mixture of commercial and military software, explained Flynn and Eric Treadwell, leaders of B-52's human crew systems/factors. In addition to the engine meter groups, the entire cockpit is undergoing a renovation, as the analog displays are replaced by large color multifunction screens.

“What they are doing is fantastic and absolutely critical,” Prakash said of the effort to integrate human systems.

There are still some dangers in better technologies: Prakash warned that problems can arise due to automation prejudice, which occurs when users do not notice failures in automated decision-making systems (such as when spell checking suggests the wrong word); and the fatigue of alarms, where users become insensitive to beeps and recurring alarms that may indicate real danger. Flynn was not very concerned about the first.

"I don't think automation bias will really be a very important factor because, although we are getting new engines [digital engine control with full authority], there is little automation involved," he said. "There will be no automatic accelerators."

Military standards provide guidance to avoid problems such as automation bias and alarm fatigue, Treadwell explained. A working group of government engineers and contractors is also collaborating with B-52 pilots to evaluate and refine the project, a best practice in U.S. Air Force development programs.

“We have different levels of alerts that will be displayed or inhibited depending on the severity and phase of the flight,” Flynn said. "We have already identified some warnings of a commercial nature and not applicable to military use."

In the future, the Edwards team hopes to collaborate with maintainers to get their opinion on digital instruments and whether this would affect their work.

“We can solve problems before they become problems,” Pontzer said in the press release. “Being at the forefront, between Boeing, the 418º FLTS and the [Test Pilot School], all of us working together to use robust systems and proven test methodologies to make good decisions is incredible for the combatant.”

A Closer Look at the Mustang EcoBoost: How Does it Achieve High MPG?

The Ford Mustang has been an emblem of American muscle cars for generations, celebrated for its power and performance. However, the introduction of the Mustang EcoBoost MPG brought a remarkable shift to the iconic pony car's legacy by placing a significant emphasis on fuel efficiency. In this article, we will take a closer look at the Mustang EcoBoost and uncover the secrets of how it achieves high miles per gallon (MPG) without sacrificing its exhilarating driving experience.

The Turbocharged Heart of the Mustang EcoBoost

At the heart of the Mustang EcoBoost's impressive fuel efficiency is its innovative 2.3-liter inline-four-cylinder engine. Unlike the traditional V8 engines that have dominated the Mustang lineup, the EcoBoost boasts a turbocharged powerplant. Here's how this turbocharged engine contributes to high MPG:

Turbocharging and Direct Injection

The turbocharger is a small but powerful device that compresses the air entering the engine, allowing more air to be forced into the combustion chamber. This process, known as forced induction, significantly increases the engine's efficiency by providing more oxygen for combustion. Coupled with direct fuel injection, where fuel is sprayed directly into the combustion chamber, the Mustang EcoBoost's engine can produce more power from less fuel.

Smaller Displacement, Better Efficiency

The smaller displacement of the four-cylinder engine means less internal friction and energy loss compared to larger V8 engines. Smaller engines inherently require less fuel to operate, and this plays a pivotal role in achieving high MPG. The Mustang EcoBoost's engine achieves a fine balance between power and efficiency.

Variable Valve Timing

The EcoBoost engine features advanced variable valve timing, allowing it to optimize the timing of intake and exhaust valve openings. This technology ensures that the engine operates at peak efficiency across a wide range of speeds and loads. It adapts to driving conditions to provide both power and fuel savings.

Aerodynamic Efficiency

Another key factor contributing to the Mustang EcoBoost's high MPG is its aerodynamic design. While the Mustang is celebrated for its classic styling, Ford engineers have incorporated modern aerodynamic elements to enhance efficiency:

Sleek Body Profile

The Mustang EcoBoost features a sleek body profile designed to minimize wind resistance. This streamlined shape helps the car cut through the air more efficiently, reducing the energy required to maintain speed. This is especially beneficial during highway driving, where the Mustang can achieve optimal fuel economy.

Active Grille Shutters

The Mustang EcoBoost incorporates active grille shutters that automatically open and close to control airflow to the engine. When additional cooling is not required, these shutters close to reduce drag, making the vehicle more aerodynamic. When more cooling is needed, such as during intense acceleration, the shutters open to provide maximum airflow.

Technological Advancements

The Mustang EcoBoost is not only about its engine and design; it also leverages advanced technologies to further improve fuel efficiency:

Start-Stop System
