Thanks Wood. Is there any more for this, transcript or video?

I still didn't get what exactly the progress was during 2011 from this presentation.

I guess the heat-exchanger assembly. That seems to be the main focus of the engineering effort.

Hadn't heard of the nacelle test vehicle, unless I missed it.

Spot the deliberate error(s)?

Can't find much grave wrong there, just some small coarse things, like the speed of sound being without altitude reference. They possibly used the wrong name for the engine, AFAIR, the A2 engine is not SABRE.

Yes, its the Scimitar engine, but they've confused it with the Sabre. Shocking!

Thats the quality that you get for your money. Really disappointing. At least they didn't measure the fuel consumption in supertankers per fortnight.

Its very annoying, I pay £120 p.a. for a tv licence, and the BBC produces an article like that! Shoddy work, I'm tempted to write and complain....whinges on for several hours...

It did prompt me to find out more about the Scimitar though:

I pay £180 p.a... for much worse. But also a few things that I would never want to miss in TV, if I would own one (You also have to pay for computers here, thanks to the digital restrictions management mafia.).

 

[Notebook]

£180, is that a licence fee?

N.

Almost, I sometimes feel like I bought one of the million minor public broadcasting radio stations in Germany every month.

Febuary 2012 news:

Good letter from Adrian Mann there. I'm glad I wasn't left wondering what a "Visual Realisation Artist" does.

 

[Notebook]

Yes, good for him.
Why a competent and accurate presentation counts against a project beats me.
