    Question Air-Conditioning, Use and care.

    I think I've figured out what confused me. :facepalm: In Scandinavia AC is almost always used in conjunction with ventilation. I'm guessing that in warmer climates buildings aren't insulated to the extent that the main problem is ventilation. Most examples I've seen on-line use re-circulation...

    Question Air-Conditioning, Use and care.

    Wrong, sorry. Assuming you are talking about relative humidity. And relative humidity is (along with wind speed) the most important factor when it comes to comfort. When you chill air down below its dew-point, you will remove water. But air that's at its dew point has by definition a relative...

    Question Air-Conditioning, Use and care.

    I'm a bit confused when it comes to the subject of air conditioning. When I studied the subject in engineering college air conditioning meant conditioning the air, not just cooling it. In fact the most important factor is the humidity. If you cool the air more than a few degrees below the...

    I suspect this is meant to be flown mostly by computers, maybe without pilots at all. Sort of a Jetsons future thingie. The problem is that the world changes too fast for extra long term plans. A good example would be "future" aviation in the 1930's. Everyone believed that flying boats were the...

    News Circular Runways.

    To calculate the correct camber, you have the know the speed and radius. AFAIK planes do not always touch down at the same speed. What exactly are the advantages? I can only see one! RWY length. Listing the disadvantages would look like an essay. I'd rather land in a F9 stage on a barge than on...

    The number of inhabitants of the Faroe islands has (most likely) passed 50k for the first time ever. The preliminary count was 50,030 by April 1 and will probably not be revised below 50k. The preliminary March 1 count was 50,006 but has already been revised to 49,994. The number will probably...

    Launch News SpaceX's Historic First Reuse of a Falcon 9 First Stage with SES-10 - March 27, 2017

    It was more expensive to reuse STS SRBs than to replace them, so reusing fairings would probably make even less sense economically. I'm guessing it depends on how expensive the "re-certification" is.
