apple-preps-for-a-wearable-ai-revolution

This fall, with watchOS 27, Apple Watch will finally get access to Siri AI with a software update that turns your wrist into the most widely-used wearable AI platform on Earth. That’s not hyperbole. Siri AI on Apple Watch is arguably the most important feature to this year’s watchOS update. Though it didn’t get much attention atContinue Reading

just-how-fuel-hungry-is-the-f-22-raptor-in-supercruise?

While most older fourth-generation fighter jets are able to fly at supersonic speeds, they have to engage their afterburners, which reduces their range. Not only do afterburners use an incredible amount of limited fuel, but they also place enormous thermal stress on the engines, accelerating wear and increasing maintenance requirements.Continue Reading

the-hidden-problem-with-boeing’s-787,-747-8-&-737-max-engines

Modern commercial jet engines are among the most refined pieces of engineering ever developed. They are quieter, more fuel-efficient, and dramatically cleaner than the engines that powered earlier generations of airliners. So in this video, we take a look at why Boeing introduced engine chevrons, how they reduce noise, whyContinue Reading
