Above, the Lockhead SR-71 Blackbird screams through the air at three times the speed of sound. The jet needs to keep the air flowing through the engines down around 500 mph.



Situated on the center line of Royal Caribbean’s $1.4 billion Oasis of the Seas, the captain’s station has two trackball-controlled 27-inch LCDs (foreground) that are used to display the electronic chart and the ship information system, which aggregates mission-critical data like radar, GPS, and sonar.



If you’re going to gun a modded 1960s-era rocket car to 200 mph, you need a full-face helmet, a five-point harness, and a 15-foot parachute. Less essential: a decent-size windshield. “You can’t see 🤬 in that 🤬,” says Jesse James, the TV host who does the driving.



Billed as America’s most famous monster truck, Grave Digger’s first incarnation was a beefed-up 1950s Ford pickup. Today’s $230K version delights fans with g-force-inducing jumps and high-speed wheelies, thanks to its chromoly steel chassis (neon green), shock-resistant gauges, and polycarbonate floorboards.



Try flying a commercial jet at 650 mph while keeping track of the data displayed on five 9- by 16-inch LCDs. “We’re able to do more computing and image processing now,” says Mike Sinnett, a Boeing VP and chief project engineer for the Dreamliner. “But if you’re not disciplined, you can provide too much information.” Landing is guided by a particularly smart piece of data visualization: Pilots can now see their vertical descent path, a sideways snapshot of the plane and trajectory relative to the ground.



The domed acrylic pressure hull on this $2 million two-seater harks back to the “Nemo” spheres developed by the Navy in the ’60s. The joystick that controls the pair of 2-kW main thrusters also lets the skipper toggle through a boatload of digital gauges, charts, and sensors—from gyro and magnetic compasses to sonar readings and a Doppler velocity log.

neato.

You would not want me to fly any of those planes because the information would just be too overpowering and will cause instantaneous crashes.

I could see myself pooping my pants in any of those cockpits.

Nice pics

For the Boeing one, the 737NG has had VCD (Vertical Situation Display) for years before the the first 787 was even made, HUD too.

Hah, had to look that one up. I've always had a strong interest in airliners, hopefully making a good living off of them in the near (ish) future.

I once told a genie that I wished to be that cool. He told me he grants wishes, not miracles then took pictures of me crying to post on the internet.

Nah, not talking about there. Still never been on 4chan before. You don't want to know what i'm talking about.

I think that's a photoshop job.

Fight!

 

[WeinerSchnitzel]

Well, there isn't a Cute and Adorable Picture Thread, so I thought I'd post this here!

Yes, I know it's real. I went and saw it when it was at Odaiba. It does light up but the lights are all over its body and I don't think just the eyes light up on their own (I didn't see that anyway)

it has been reconstructed in Shizuoka near Bandai's headquarters but it is in a different form that the one in the picture.
