FAA clears JetZero's blended wing design plane for flight - Interesting Engineering

Getting Started With EDF Jets

The 150-foot-long landing markers on the runway don’t melt the snow like the blacktop does! But today is fun, with both low density altitude and exciting winds. If you wait for perfect conditions to fly, you’ll be limited to perfect conditions. Challenge yourself. You don’t need to be unsafe, but practice those crosswind skills, short field techniques, slow flight, and anything else that goes beyond just going from place to place. You can never truly predict when you’ll need them! #STOL #Landing
