@FlightQ Comments following the latest challenge- When trying to choose a flight with a layover, you cannot know if it's with the same airline or 2 airlines until after selection? And layover duration only counts when they're not within the selected flight? Else a very fun game!
@FlightQ Is it new that you can no longer re-submit a Layover attempt? The submit button seems to say no, the message below seems to say it should remain possible.
@FlightQ One last question... is it normal for countries like the UK and France, or Singapore and Malaysia, to not be considered as bordering countries?
@FlightQ Aw, darn. Any way you can add a "save" feature? It was nice to be able to submit a "good enough" attempt to avoid having to memorise it and then reattempt new routes.
@Spookyload@ThunderCrate6@eagledynamics If you look at the other images that were published, I believe the probe is angled to the right of the aircraft. Similar to what is done on other aircraft (like the Rafale), to expressly avoid it being in the middle of the hud. If not, I agree it would be annoying.
A reminder to people who don't think "small" tsunamis are a big deal: even a 30 centimeter Tsunami can easily knock down a person.
If you are in an area with a tsunami warning, you should take it very seriously.

@justinsoliz@realmikeglynn Of course, there was also ETOPS which didnt exist early on. Nowadays, with modern engines, the cost of an additional engine outweighs the efficiency loss in terms of overall operating cost. Hence why most are 2 engine aircraft (see A340 vs A330 as an example).
@justinsoliz@realmikeglynn A lot of nuances but, 1 key item is you need to be resilient to 1 engine failing i.e. on a 2 engine aircraft, maintain flight on 1. if flight = 100%, you need 200% total thrust. With 3 engines, flight on 2 (150% total thrust). Means you can improve efficiency in the design.
@RenatoChem@Aviation_Intel My initial guess by rebuilding the aircraft and based on available imagery was ~135ft wingspan. Seems like those images were accurate enough for the front and top of the aircraft. The trailing edge kink needs to be moved inward based on the flap position. https://t.co/5V3WxXU1xE
After having spent some time going through the available B-21 images, the following are a couple of views which I believe to be a quite accurate representation of the visible part of the B-21.
@AGeeknologist They quietly promoted their hydrogen aircraft concepts at Aero 5 years ago, and then went very quiet... Interesting to see them reappear!
