One of the biggest computational fluid dynamics simulation made on a super computer This is one of the largest CFD simulations ever, on the world's largest GPU server, the GigaIO SuperNODE, equipped with 32x AMD Instinct MI210 64GB GPUs, for a total of 2TB of VRAM. The simulation shows the Concorde (62m long) before landing at a speed of 300km/h and an angle of attack of 10°, for 1 second in flight. The span-based Reynolds number is 146 million.

The New Shepard launcher also returned to a landing pad near the launch site.
Starship SN9 flight and crash SpaceX has tested the ninth Starship prototype in a row.
It is not yet known whether the landing accident was caused by low tank pressures than with the SN8, or something else.
Led by the standing ship SN10, which in turn, did not suffer any serious damage in the explosion.

Record of shortest flight, in just 3 meters Every year is organized a contest known as STOL (Short Take Off and Landing) in Alaska. The goal for the competitors is to take off and land at the smallest possible distance. Last year Frank Napp had an impressive record with a modified Cub Litter Piper 1939, but in 2019 the Dan Reynolds surpassed the, It landed in just 2,95 meters.
