Skydiving Salamanders

The wandering salamander can spend its entire 20-year lifespan in the canopy of a coast redwood. When predators come calling, they have a special skill that helps them get away: skydiving. (Video and image credit: Deep Look; see also C. Brown) Read the full article

WHAT THE ACTUAL F*CK, BURBANK TOWER?!

You're flying Southwest so low that you're literally rattling my dishes! No joke, I went outside and could see into the landing gear wells. If you give them a lower altitude on the next one, I'll have to open my bedroom window to let them in and the front too to let them out.

First Chinese Flying Drone Taxis From EHang Already Available on Taobao - Technology Org

According to Reuters, Chinese drone manufacturer EHang Holdings has starter the sale of its EH216-S model flying taxi on Taobao, priced at 2.39 million yuan ($332,060).

The company received safety approval certification from China’s aviation authority in October last year. This development then marked a significant milestone in its journey towards commercial deployment.

EHang Holdings, headquartered in Guangzhou, previously obtained “type certificate” from the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) for its 216-S model.

The EH216-S is equipped with 16 rotors and has the capacity to accommodate two passengers, boasting speeds of up to 130 kilometers per hour and a maximum range of 30 kilometers.

Why flying taxis are based on drone tech?

Flying taxis are indeed based on drone technology.

Firstly, they utilize vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) capabilities, enabling them to operate in urban areas without the need for traditional runways.

Additionally, flying taxis often incorporate electric propulsion systems, offering reduced noise levels, lower emissions, and increased efficiency compared to conventional engines.

Also, drone technology integrates advanced autonomous flight control systems, including GPS navigation and obstacle avoidance sensors, allowing flying taxis to operate autonomously or semi-autonomously. This enhances safety and reduces the reliance on human piloting skills.

Furthermore, drones are typically compact and lightweight, making them well-suited for navigating tight spaces and congested airspace in urban environments.

The scalability and cost-effectiveness of drone technology also make it an attractive choice for flying taxis. It allows for the development of taxis in various sizes and configurations to accommodate different passenger capacities and mission requirements.

The use of drone technology lowers operating costs compared to traditional aircraft, which makes flying taxis a more economically viable transportation solution.

Is it weird to think Bakugo may have a fear of flying?

Imagine going somewhere with him and you have zero idea he’s never flown before, never left Japan or needed to even go to an airport. His parents never dragged him along on any work trips and usually he’d take the train to go wherever he needed. His deep scowl and grumpy demeanor through the airport you chalk up to his default attitude, but then you get on the plane and start to see his anxiety physically manifest. You sit down in your seats and he’s white knuckling the poor arm rest as he’s staring out the window, trying to calm himself down. It isn’t until your hand gently runs over his that you see his shoulders relax, even a little bit, and you keep talking to him as a distraction.

He doesn’t even notice you’re in the air until he looks out the window again, enamored with the view of a colorful sky. It’s only for a second, but he cracks a smile, knowing he’s in good hands with you by his side.
