From supersonic speed to a bus _ what a Concorde flight!
Fly To float or flap in the air Pennants flying from the masthead. Flying Brief; hurried Took a flying glance at the report. Fly To move or be sent through the air with great speed Bullets flying in every direction. A plate that flew from my hands when I stumbled. Flying Capable of ...
Actually, this conflict is the core of the dispute between the efficiency paradigm, which calls for big batches and high WIP in an effort to increase the total output, and the Lean/Kanban principles, which are focused on the speed of the materials, ensuring fast delivery to actual demand. T...
A few years back, my team had the opportunity to fly out to San Diego and meet with our counterparts at a similar firm. At the time, this relatively new $500MM RIA was bringing on about $200 million per year in new assets, organically. Their goal was to find better systems to...
terrain on a GPS and downlinked weather would have been good but I did fine with a finger on a map and a view out front. I’d fly it again tomorrow in the same airplane, with the same equipment. And even though crew resource management had not been invented at the time, my use of...
Stationed at the airport was a medium bomber, a Douglas A-26 that had formally been owned and sponsored by industrialist (pen maker) Milton Reynolds, and flown by William P. Odon, who twice broke Howard Hughes’ prewar round-the-world speed record. A San Antonio oil company, who used it...
Augmented reality is often presented as a kind of futuristic technology, but a form of it has been around for years. For example, the heads-up displays in many fighter aircraft as far back as the 1990s would show information about the attitude, direction and speed of the plane, and only ...

“It is a pity that the Tu-144 and Concorde have left the skies. Despite economic constraints and notwithstanding basic necessities, people need a dream, such as traveling at supersonic speed in comfort. Not the worst dream to have, I suppose.”...
“Concorde had these very complicated wings. They’re very thin, which you need for high speed flight, but they don’t produce any lift on the ground, which is a real problem for takeoff, obviously,” says Hazelby. “So what you need for takeoff is a lot of speed. And so the engin...
