It's apparently 'International Control Room Week' this week. Appropriately, nobody told us. 😂

Since, as many of you know, I work as a Route Controller in a railway Control, I thought it might be a lark to share (as much as I can...) a 'day in the life' of my desk.

La double réponse d'Artus aux propos de L. Salamé est tout à fait juste.
Il dit une choses très vraie : en France, les non-buveurs sont des parias, moqués, et ce depuis le XIXe siècle quand boire devient un fait social, culturel et national en France. 1/13 ⤵️

The Concorde was different from other aircraft in many ways.

Its cockpit was regarded as being very different to anything otherwise flying at the time. While other large airliners had similar elements to the flight controls, Concorde's was rather more complex, with additional features not seen on any other commercial aircraft.

One of main differences that instantly stands out is the additional bank of control panels on the right-hand side. Concorde required a minimum flight crew of three, with a flight engineer working alongside the two pilots.

This was not uncommon at the time - the Boeing 707, 727, and 747 were all designed for a three-person crew.

It was also a very packed in flight deck compared to other passenger jets. Due to the streamlined front end of Concorde, the aircraft had a narrower cockpit than most planes, with less headroom above. That meant buttons, dials and switches had to be packed in much more tightly, adding to the sense of a crowded, confined space.

The four engines had added afterburners, which required additional control and monitoring options. Aerodynamic features, especially the moveable nose, likewise brought more into the cockpit. The Mach meter added extra information, with two orange colored 'bugs' that identified the range of Mach numbers available at the current center of gravity.

Fuel management, too, was more complex with Concorde. It had multiple fuel tanks, with fuel moved around during flights and requiring monitoring and control. The bulk of the fuel was stored in the wings, but there were tanks forward and behind to enable vital control of the aircraft's center of gravity during supersonic flight.

L’un des pires cauchemars que quasi tous les conducteurs de trains redoutent, c’est celui de ne pas réussir à arrêter son train. Ça reste heureusement un simple cauchemar pour la plupart.

Et puis il y a les autres.

Node-based tools just became non-experimental and are now part of Blender 4.0 beta. They allow you to create custom operators using #GeometryNodes. For that purpose there are also a few tool-specific nodes to access e.g. the current selection. #b3d #devfund
