Les ingénieurs chinois repoussent les limites : « Nos drones survivent à 87 % des attaques de missiles » - Newsly
Une équipe d'ingénieurs aérospatiaux chinois a récemment présenté une nouvelle technologie de manœuvre d'évasion pour drones de combat, visant à augmenter leur taux de survie à près de 90 %. Cette avancée pourrait transformer l'efficacité des drones face aux missiles de défense aérienne. En intégrant des propulseurs latéraux légers, les drones seraient capables d'exécuter des
Likely Jan LukasThank you for the #intel!
The decorative lampposts sound lovely, but yeah, not helpful for the problems of heat and #asphalt.
The thing is, that even in advance of #HeatDomes and serial #heatwaves neighbourhoods like mine are unwalkable in the summer from heat alone.
In the winter, the sloped sidewalk concrete that almost-seamlessly joins the asphalt roadway AND lack of routine snow clearance means that street parkers are often parked somewhat on the sidewalk itself.
This is particularly easy to do when the #snowpack on the road is higher than the sidewalk, which is most winters, even ones with relatively little snow.
This narrows the sidewalks to the point that even if cleared, they are not necessarily wide enough to use with #AssistiveDevices such as #rollators and #wheelchairs.
I really want #yegAccessible, year-round!

This year's attempt to survive upcoming extreme heat is to add #WindowFilm for #heat abatement.
But I've run into a little problem beyond limitations arising from my #disabilities: is there anyone on #Mastodon qualified to provide a #blessing for this?
I don't have a #parson handy to help out locally atm. 😛

The soaring heat has highlighted how millions in the world’s most populous nation are among the most vulnerable to the effects of the climate crisis.
India often experiences heatwaves during the summer months of May and June, but in recent years, they have arrived earlier and become more prolonged.

Humans approaching limits of 'survivability' as sweltering heatwaves engulf parts of Asia
Heavy showers blanketed northern India over the weekend, offering some much-needed respite from a blistering heatwave that ravaged the region. But with mercury levels expected to remain high in other areas, the soaring heat has highlighted how millions in the world’s most populous nation are among the most vulnerable to the effects of the climate crisis.
