FallingOsh Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 https://news.yahoo.com/cat-caught-sneaking-saw-phone-brazil-prison-145407675.html My favorite line... "It's tough to find out who's responsible for the action as the cat doesn't speak," a prison spokesperson told local paper Estado de S.Paulo.

Lots of good one liners, but the best has to be: "If they would have given the cat little boots and a sword it would have never been caught." 1

matmacwc Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 It's long, but at least it's skinny. I've heard that somewhere before....
bronxbomber252 Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 looks like the bastard child of a three-way between a Concorde, a B-1, and an MD-88

Interesting concepts.

Interesting concepts. I can't imagine it does, especially on a small aircraft; I'm thinking this is going to be a big waste.
Prozac Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 There are actually a few companies looking at the concept of a SSBJ (STS). There probably is a very small market considering the fact that there are 747 "business jets" flying around now. I doubt there's room for more than one company, but Gulfstream probably has the best chance of anyone out there. Agreed that it's ugly though.
guineapigfury Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 This one speaks for itself. The WTF isn't for the article, but for the fact that things are actually this bad. 1

Interesting concepts. The shape of the nose is designed to decrease the magnitude of the shock waves in order to make overland supersonic flight legal outside of controlled airspace. It's very long, making it impractical for ground operations. So yes, the disadvantages are outweighed by the advantages.
