    Thoughts on the audio: Most likely, they hear each other perfectly fine, but the audio signal into the recording device is too hot, distorting everything. I can't imagine them even getting out of the parking lot if they can't hear each other.

      They are also very well equipped to cope with low-quality communications. They use code words and clear language. Andy is a very experienced fighter pilot. And I believe the person on the other end of the line is his wife. They probably only need a fraction of the quality you need to understand them.

      I grew up in the city that SSC and Thrust 2 are on display. I remember taking my little bros to see them, there was an amazing documentary in a theater that ran all day and after the climax the car would be dramatically revealed from behind a curtain. All this was done every hour or so and with minimal staffing, it was a magical experience and I can't believe I'm finally seeing the latest successor at it again with the same legendary driver at the helm.

      It's not as high pitch an 'air-literally-ripping-apart' kind of a sound as I remember the lightenings being that said.

      Although, I’d like to ‘pull you up’ with regards to the reason the Vulcan is no longer.
      It wasn’t so much an issue to do with ‘Funding being pulled’ moreover, it was mainly to do with the fact they could no longer achieve ‘airworthiness status’ for the Olympus engines that powered the thing owing to the last person alive with the knowledge, skill, and authority to do so retiring.
      If it had not been for this, the Vulcan could still likely be flying today

      It's not so much the weight as the surface area that is affected by the cross wind. That's alot of area for the wind to push against.

    • @flashpeter625
      @flashpeter625 4 роки тому +1

      The behavior in crosswind must be very complex. The car is designed to operate in 3 very different speed regimes, and same as there's a huge difference in lift and drag behavior between the subsonic, transsonic and supersonic regimes, crosswind might also have very different effects.

      @@GTiR23 Yes, but the higher the speed goes the steeper is the increase in drag...it's not proportional..
      A vehicle travelling at 50 mph may only require 10 horsepower to overcome the aerodynamic drag, however doubling the speed requires a disproportional power increase, as the drag quadruples. Exerting 4x the force over a given distance produces 4 times as much work. At twice the speed the work is done twice as fast, and as power is the rate of doing work, 4x the work done in half the time requires 8 times the power...it's complex stuff

      Hopefully it would feel more stable at a higher speed as the tail fin cuts through the air and works more efficiently to keep the car in a straight line, it did look a bit dodgy though I agree.

      Eric D G Iommi completely. This is about terminal speed, not acceleration. The physics involved in going this fast on land is unbelievable and a massive challenge to overcome.
