Did you know, A brief dissertation on weird aeronautical experiments
My malicious mind was thinking of how much the human race has to thank experimentation due to the things we have learned from it. Even in the most questionable, anti-ethical experiments, there was always something new to comprehend. For instance, everything we know about pneumonia and hypothermia is thanks to the tortures made in Japanese…

But how does the aerodynamics of a reindeer compare to an aircraft? Aerodynamics Considerations Let’s start by examining the anatomy of these magical creatures. Santa’s reindeer, led by…
Hydrogenizing the sky
Aeronautical companies around the world are actively seeking new ways to reduce CO2 emissions and have greener aviation. Airbus, one of the largest companies, has recently performed its first demonstration flight with a hydrogen-powered turbine.
The top 3 of manoeuvre kills
Many aerospace fans and avgeeks, including myself, are also gamers; either concretely simulator geeks, such as DCS, or, in a less realistic manner, War Thunder. In said games, all of us become very proud of our skills and, ultimately, of our kills. However, if there is one type of kill/ take-down that we really relish,…
Did you know? Aeropostale: Brave airman pioneering mail delivery
Nowadays, most of us may think about aviation as an innovative but strict engineering domain that is more about building marvels of engineering or flying a modern airplane with the help of GPS and autopilots rather than an adventurous journey around the globe. However, this is not always the case. Let’s take a look at…
Getting a new perspective from space
After the launch of the space mission EUCLID from the European Space Agency (ESA), the first images from the telescope have arrived in our planet, and they are beautiful. In a previous article from the blog, we presented the mission, if you haven’t read it, go check it out here! Ready to explore the darkness – EUCLID.
F-104 Bribefighter
We have already talked about the F104, but have we ever talked about its scandal? It has a whole corruption plot behind it that nobody ever talks about… For those who are lost and did not read the article about the F104: we can name it the Starfighter, the flying stick, the winged pencil, the…
Birds of the sea
In today’s article, let’s dive into another chapter of aeronautical history: the planes of the sea. During the last century, we went from conversions of ships that were initially cargo ships, cruisers, or even battleships into aircraft carriers to ships specially designed to carry aircraft, powered by nuclear power. These ships allow naval forces to…
Did you know? The oldest EUROAVIA Working Group (WG)
EUROAVIA is not all about the International Board (IB) and the Local Groups (LGs) spread all over Europe, but also about many people working behind the scenes in different areas, in what we call Working Groups (WGs). But do you know which is the oldest EUROAVIA WG?
