Bits and Wings and things

Continuing my trend of samming multiple posts all at once while ignoring my blog for several days I bring you the interesting though of Standardized Robotic OSs

In any field the formative years always include a unique hodgepodge of ideas, there is seldom a clear for runner to use as a standard. As much as this initial creativity helps it begins to hurt as the field begins to mature, and it is always exciting to see what standards wioll be taken to help bring concept to a greater level of usage.

K so more on non nerd stuff. The 787 "Dream Liner" this is one cool beast, I actually worked at a company that manufactured parts for the first one, (wind stuff none of those crappy fuselage things that are causing delays >.>) They did some high speed Taxi tests 2 days ago. Hopefully we'll see a first flight in the next month or so. (/fingerscrossed)

To break down the features to some simple Ideas. This is a mostly composite aircraft designed to have increased fuel efficiency and reduced noise pollution. The lack of metal floor supports means the cabin can stay more hydrated. The Production models are also going to have electric cabin pressurization rather than pressure coming from the engine before gas is added to the air, which means cooler cabin temperatures.

This is the first aircraft from "Project Yellowstone" an initiative by Boeing to producer higher efficiency lower cost aircraft. Airbus' went the other direction making the A380 the worlds largest passenger liner. In time we shall see which company made the correct decision (I'm rooting for Boeing)
