Peter H. Schmidt reposted thisOur founder Justin Beroz on what this month's Navier–Stokes proofs do (and don't) mean for engineers. The proof is a statement about the equations, not about real fluids, and the turbulence prediction problem is exactly where it was last week. The full conversation with Christine Jacob is in the article.Peter H. Schmidt reposted thisWhat the Navier–Stokes Proof Does (and Doesn't) Tell Engineers… ⤵ My friend and colleague Christine Jacob (CJ) and I recently had a chat about this. The full conversation, including how our work at ReynKo fits, is in the article. Here’s the quick version of what I think it means for engineers: ▪ The Million-Dollar Problem ▪ OpenAI may have solved a million-dollar math problem. It came from roughly ten thousand agents running in parallel, searching the huge space of connections between mathematical theorems. It’s remarkable computing AND mathematics. However, the proof – if verified -- only articulates a limit of applicability for the equations, not how to solve them. ▪ The Trillion-Dollar Problem ▪ The Navier-Stokes equations describe how every gas and liquid behaves. They govern the speed and efficiency of every form of transport, our ability to predict the weather, even the cost of cooling a data center. The prediction problem is unchanged. Turbulent flow over a wing, through a turbine, across a GPU’s heat sink, or in the atmosphere is still chaotic. Wind tunnels and physical testing are still needed simply because current simulations are not accurate enough. One more thing: proving is not the same as understanding. Ten thousand agents produced a machine-checkable fact, but taking something from the theoretical to the practical remains the purview of human insight. #NavierStokes #Turbulence #CFD #FluidDynamics

Peter H. Schmidt reposted thisPeter H. Schmidt reposted thisHis teeth were pulled out with pliers, and the second time – simply knocked out. And this is not even the most horrifying thing he described. Imagine a man who weighed 95 kilograms – 209 pounds. And then dropped to 59 kilograms – 130 pounds. Not because he lost weight – but because this is how he was "kept." This is Yevhen Chudnetsov. An Azov fighter. A man who was in Russian captivity twice – and survived. The first time, he was captured in Shyrokyne. From February 2015 until December 2017. Almost three years. After the exchange, he returned to his unit. Then – Mariupol. Then – Azovstal. And captivity again. He was released only in May 2023. He speaks about rehabilitation calmly, almost matter-of-factly: "I barely went through rehabilitation. For me, the best rehabilitation is to return to my duties. Because the war won't win itself." And now – the part that makes your blood run cold. The first time, his teeth were pulled out with pliers. The second time – they were simply knocked out. The drastic weight loss caused hormonal problems. A broken arm. A broken leg. Nine broken ribs. And scars on his arms and legs – from the handcuffs they used to suspend him. He was in Olenivka. Not in the barracks where the explosion happened – in the one next to it. He remembers several explosions. At first, they thought the administrative building had been hit. But when the fire started, from the second floor they could see: it was the industrial zone. That same barracks. The explosion was so powerful that pieces of roofing flew all the way to them. Chudnetsov says a thermobaric charge was used inside. He believes it was no accident. It was a demonstrative execution. Medical assistance – zero. On the guards' faces – not a trace of surprise. They knew. Our men begged them to let the combat medics out. They refused. Only an hour to an hour and a half later did they allow medics from the 55th hospital to come out. The ambulances arrived toward morning. When there was almost no point in coming anymore. The treatment of Azov fighters was different. They received three times more beatings than everyone else. And Azov medics – even more. The reason? Propaganda. The Russians invent their own stories – and then believe them themselves. There is almost no information in captivity. The only "truth" is whatever the interrogator or the FSB decides to tell you. If he is in a good mood – he tells you something. If he is in a bad mood – he says nothing. Whether it is true or a lie – you have no way of knowing. He learned about the exchange on the day of the exchange. An hour before it happened – interrogation, protocols they did not even allow him to read. During the night, they began opening cells and calling out names. When they opened his – he heard his name. In the coming days he was back in Ukraine through prisoner exchange.

Peter H. Schmidt reposted thisPeter H. Schmidt reposted this🇺🇦 3D Printing helps defend Ukraine! Donate to support these 46 3D 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬 supplying the front line While I was in Kyiv, I had the opportunity to visit Yuriy Sakhno's 3D-printing farm together with the amazing Arthur Tkachenko and incredible Anastasiia Gavryliuk (who will share donation links 🙏) 📍 Somewhere in Kyiv, at a location I obviously won't be sharing, 46 3D printers are running to help keep the front line supplied and the free world free. Just one of many places where you see how DIY gear and what we consider "hobby" tech are actually all part of a far more modern war than what we're used to. And it shows just how direct support for Ukraine can actually be: because printers need filament. Filament becomes parts. Those parts go where they are needed. 🤓 There aren't many layers of bureaucracy between your donation and something physically coming off a printer and heading toward the front. Your donations have rarely had a more direct effect. 🤰 The most practical way to contribute: you can effectively “adopt” a printer and help keep it supplied and running. Become a Print Mom (or Dad) 46 printers might not look like a factory in the traditional sense. But warfare in 2026 doesn't look very traditional either. And we sure as hell ain't ready for it Links below 👇

Peter H. Schmidt reposted thisPeter H. Schmidt reposted this“They poured water on me not to wash away the pain, but so the electricity would conduct better.” This is what the Russians did to a civilian man at the railway station in Kozacha Lopan, Kharkiv region. For more than half a year, the building was a torture chamber. Vitalii, a local resident, went through it. On March 22, 2022, four men came for him in two SUVs. They burst into his house with assault rifles while he was making a salad. At the station, they put him against a wall and started beating him. “Greetings from Donbas.” Two ribs cracked near his heart. Several more in his back. Then they pulled down his pants, attached something resembling a clothespin to his genitals, and placed a heavy wire on his thigh. The electricity felt as if molten metal were being poured inside his body. They tortured him until one Russian noticed smoke coming from his body. They laughed. Then they poured water over him — not to wash away the pain, but so the electricity would conduct better. Vitalii smashed his head against the floor. He wanted to crack his skull and die. They put rags under his head and threatened to torture him until his heart stopped. Then came the overcrowded basement. His eyes taped shut. One cup of soup a day. On the third or fourth day, the place came under fire. The Russians ran into the basement terrified. Vitalii prayed that the next strike would hit exactly where they were. He no longer had the strength to endure it. On the fifth day, Russian journalists arrived. “Answer correctly — and you’ll go home to your children.” They dictated what he had to say: that he had not fired at anyone and was calling on the Ukrainian army to lay down its weapons. They uploaded the video to YouTube — and sent him back to the basement. Then came Hoptivka. Another basement. More interrogations. More blows to his broken ribs. He heard other people being tortured with electricity. People screamed: “Tell us what you want us to say! Just don’t electrocute us!” Then came forced labor — sweeping floors and peeling potatoes for 15 hours a day. Vitalii was released almost by accident. Russian commanders arrived and saw around 50 people crammed into a tiny room, suffocating, with condensation running down the walls. They ordered some prisoners released. Vitalii walked three kilometers without stepping off the road because there were mines everywhere. The entire way, he waited for a bullet in the back. When he finally reached home, he sat on the doorstep and began to sob. He never thought he would see his parents’ house again. But the fear never left. Even now, whenever a car drives past his yard, he runs to the window — to check whether they have come for him again. He has returned to the places where they tortured him. The first time, he could not say a single word. Source: translated from the text by Oleh Bairak

Peter H. Schmidt reposted thisPeter H. Schmidt reposted thisAs a United States Marine Corps veteran, historian, and U.S. History teacher, September 11 is more than a date in a textbook. It is a day that changed the course of American history and forever impacted a generation of citizens, service members, first responders, and families. I believe it is my civic duty to serve, protect, and defend the ideals rooted in the United States Constitution by helping students understand both the triumphs and challenges of our nation's past. Through engaging lessons and meaningful discussions, I strive to ensure that the stories, sacrifices, and lessons of 9/11 are never forgotten. My mission is to create powerful and engaging learning experiences that cultivate a deeper understanding of our nation's history and inspire students to become informed and responsible citizens. My vision is to educate students and the public about local, state, and national history so they can better understand how the past has shaped our present and how that knowledge can help build a brighter future. As part of that mission, here is an assignment I created for my students to help teach this history in remembrance of those who lost their lives on September 11, 2001, and to honor the courage and sacrifice of the first responders who answered the call that day. Every year, People and Companies such as Tim Jensen, and Grunt Style honor the victims and heroes of 9/11 by reading the names of those who perished and encouraging Americans to reflect on the sacrifices made that day. Remembering is not just about looking back, it is about ensuring future generations understand the impact of these events and the values that united our nation in the aftermath. What is your 9/11 tradition? Why is it important for individuals, families, schools, communities, and organizations to continue remembering the events and people connected to September 11, 2001?

Peter H. Schmidt reposted thisPeter H. Schmidt reposted this✈️ Four years. One King Air 300. And a lot to learn. After four years since my last flight in a King Air 300, I was back in the cockpit — this time flying the Qualification Evaluation profile on the King Air we fly at ETPS . It felt familiar. But it also felt completely different. Because every time you fly an aircraft with a Flight Test Engineer mindset, you discover something new. 🔥 We study handling qualities. We study performance. We study systems, limitations and test techniques. We analyse numbers, plots and reports. But there is a point where you have to stop looking at the data and feel the aircraft. Feel the response. Feel the workload. Feel the energy. Understand what the aircraft is telling you before the numbers confirm it. That is where experience becomes engineering judgement. 🧠✈️ For an FTE, there is immense value in experiencing things first-hand. Not simply knowing how something works, but understanding it deeply enough to recognise it when you encounter it in flight. Knowledge is built in the books. Understanding is built in the aircraft. Judgement is built through experience. And that's why we keep flying. Because in Flight Test, you are never really finished learning. 🚀 #FlightTest #FlightTestEngineering #ETPS #Aviation #Engineering #SFTE #SETP

Given the shortage of air-to-air missiles (due to delayed shipments from western 'allies', primarily US) Ukrainian F-16 pilots are resorting more and more to onboard cannons to take down enemy drones - for which they have to fly dangerously close.

Peter H. Schmidt reacted on thisPeter H. Schmidt reacted on this27 years ago today, Scott and I got married. Yes, we know, it’s also the Air Force’s birthday . . . merely a coincidence. 😊 We had just enough time for a wedding and honeymoon before I started pilot training, and from there, life got interesting. During the first four years of our marriage, we spent only about six months living in the same place because of different assignments and multiple deployments. Thankfully, after those first four years, we both found assignments at Nellis AFB. Scott was flying with the 66th Weapons Squadron, and I was with the 422nd Test and Evaluation Squadron. This photo is from that chapter of our lives, when we finally had the chance to build our careers in the same place. Over the years, there were deployments, moves, two flying careers, leadership positions, two kids, and plenty of times when life didn’t go exactly according to plan. One of the biggest lessons from 27 years is that priorities matter. You cannot do everything at once, and there will be sacrifices along the way. We learned to communicate through those decisions, make the tradeoffs together, and adjust our plans as our priorities changed. Through it all, we had each other’s backs, supported each other’s goals, celebrated the successes, worked through the setbacks, and figured it out together. Twenty-seven years later, I’m grateful for the path we’ve taken together and where we are now. ❤️

ResilienX
[Press Release] ResilienX Receives FAA Waiver for Remote BVLOS Operations. Enabled by FAA-Accepted NUAIR Surveillance Infrastructure. Syracuse, NY — March 24, 2026 — ResilienX, a leader in aviation safety and BVLOS drone networks, announced today that it has received a Certificate of Waiver from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) authorizing routine beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) drone operations without the requirement for visual observers, enabled through the use of FAA-accepted surveillance infrastructure network operated by NUAIR. The waiver authorizes ResilienX to conduct small unmanned aircraft system (sUAS) operations beyond the visual line of sight of the Remote Pilot in Command (RPIC). The FAA granted relief from 14 CFR §§ 107.31 and 107.33, effective through September 30, 2029, subject to strict operational, technical, and safety provisions. A foundational element of the FAA’s approval is ResilienX’s use of NUAIR’s Automated Data Service Provider (ADSP) capability, which operates under an FAA Letter of Acceptance (LOA) issued through the Near-Term Approval Process (NTAP). NTAP is the FAA’s mechanism for evaluating and accepting third-party infrastructure services as safety mitigations that operators may rely upon when seeking waivers for advanced operations. "This isn't just a win for ResilienX and NUAIR — it's a proof point for the entire industry,” shares Ken Stewart, President and CEO of NUAIR. “NTAP was designed to demonstrate that shared, FAA-accepted infrastructure can safely enable BVLOS operations at scale. Approvals like this one feed directly into the FAA's standard-setting process, and that means the path we're building here in Central New York is the path that opens the national airspace.” This approval demonstrates how shared, FAA-accepted infrastructure can accelerate deployment while maintaining the highest safety standards in the national airspace. Under the waiver, all BVLOS operations conducted by ResilienX are constrained to areas fully covered by NUAIR’s FAA-accepted cooperative and non-cooperative surveillance network in Central New York, which currently encompasses 1900 sq miles. Operations are permitted only when surveillance coverage is confirmed active and sufficient, ensuring continuous low-altitude airspace awareness and tactical deconfliction capability. “The ability to fly BVLOS, remotely, and over people is the last regulatory hurdle we needed to clear to launch our ORION-X on-demand drone service in our back yard, here in the Syracuse region.” said Andrew Carter, Chief Executive Officer of ResilienX. “NUAIR has provided the infrastructure and now the FAA has given us the green light. We are excited to get flying!” PRESS FULL RELEASE: https://lnkd.in/e-cNnKYc #ResilienX #NUAIR #AerialCities #aviation #drones #droneindustry #BVLOS #DroneOperations #PublicSafety

NUAIR
We're honored to be setting the new standard for low altitude airspace coordination. Not pre-coordinated, silo'd flight plans, but active, strategic, real-time airspace awareness for BVLOS flights. We look forward to supporting ResilienX with their BVLOS operations through NUAIR's FAA-accepted surveillance infrastructure network! #UAS #Drones #BVLOS #AirspaceAwareness #FAA
