FAA Violation. FPV drone Pilot on Collision course with Airline. Near Miss. Some guy in the United States, an FPV quad racer flies in the Path of and Airliner. What a knob. Seriously. This is not a joke. Not CGI, this is real. For a 10 second moment of fame. Even if there would be no harm. You just cant get over this level of stupidly. What Drone U has to say. Drone U Leadership and the entire membership community want to join with other industry leaders to fully CONDEMN this reckless and criminal act.
Drone U and it’s members work tirelessly in making our skies safe for all users of the National Airspace System. This pilot's actions not only endangered the flying public, but has the potential to discredit an entire sUAS industry. It is the opinion of Drone U and it’s members that the pilot receive swift and just punishment for this example of irresponsible and reckless flight.
There is no excuse for this type of criminal behavior.

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.
If the International Space Station was at low altitude The speed of the International Space Station in space is 27600 km/h, and makes a complete rotation of the earth in 90 minutes. But what would the ISS look like if it was at an altitude of only 3000 meters above the Earth; An interesting video created with the help of Microsoft Flight Simulator.
