@stariandiamond precisava da yao pra minha SW999 E0S1 (não tenho sparxie e sinto q meu trailblazer E0 tá capenga pra sustentar o time), mas tbm tenho uma acheron E0S1 aposentada (sem ashveil). queria o blade e já tava esperando rerun da yao e não sei se consigo os dois 😭

@GenshinUniverse is the quest finally voiced??

@moparful99 @Volociline @hghsecv @ErwinHugger Please cry louder because I can't hear you

[devorak 💜 @nandsdevorak]

@Volociline @moparful99 @hghsecv @ErwinHugger It was rail launched because it could not takeoff by itself. It's as simple as that.
I'm grasping at a single concept: takeoff, fly, land.

As I said, we can agree to disagree. I get your point, but I do not agree with it, and that's fine.

[devorak 💜 @nandsdevorak]

@Volociline @moparful99 @hghsecv @ErwinHugger That’s a false equivalence. The X-15 was air-launched by design. Not comparable to an early prototype. Different contexts, different criteria.

My point is:
Wright brothers: first controlled flight.
Santos-Dumont: first autonomous airplane.

[devorak 💜 @nandsdevorak]

@ctpatrician @moparful99 @hghsecv @ErwinHugger The Wright brothers proved that controlled flight was possible (three-axis flight control). Santos Dumont demonstrated the first truly autonomous airplane. He also added ailerons later on (November 1906) for turns.

@moparful99 @Volociline @hghsecv @ErwinHugger Santos was not french naturalized.

In any case, if you can’t argue without being disrespectful, then you’re not worth my time.
I’ve made my point. I won’t be responding further.

[devorak 💜 @nandsdevorak]

@Volociline @moparful99 @hghsecv @ErwinHugger Your comparison with modern airliners is flawed. They need long runways due to size and mass, but can reach takeoff airspeed under standard conditions without relying on wind.
We can agree to disagree.

[devorak 💜 @nandsdevorak]

@Volociline @moparful99 @hghsecv @ErwinHugger Still, it was unable to build sufficient airspeed on its own within the available distance.
The aircraft only managed to reach the required takeoff airspeed with a specific headwind, which suggests it could not independently achieve takeoff conditions.

[devorak 💜 @nandsdevorak]

@moparful99 @hghsecv @ErwinHugger the manner of take off actually does have a bearing on what constitutes a plane, alongside other aspects.
an airplane should be able to reach the required airspeed for takeoff without depending on wind conditions (particularly wind speed).
we can agree to disagree tho.

@BasedIllinoisan english is not my first language and I still can't imagine myself writing like this. the teacher actually seemed very unbiased, she pointed out the mistakes regardless of her personal opinion

[devorak 💜 @nandsdevorak]

@AstroJoeB @Rutras3000 in any case, if their "plane" needed a rail and the wind to help it take off, then it did not take off by itself. therefore, not a plane (take off, fly and land, that's the basics).
btw here's proof that we're also right to be skeptical:

@ErwinHugger https://t.co/ZO44Mkn2HK this your "plane"?

[devorak 💜 @nandsdevorak]

@moparful99 @hghsecv @ErwinHugger so you admit it didn't take off by itself (the way 99% of planes do nowadays). if it needed something to "keep it stable" then it did not take off by itself - so it is not a plane (take off, fly and land, the basics of a plane)
