Hello class,
U.S. Air Force successfully test AI-controlled fighter jet.
During the World War 1, aircrafts were deployed for surveillance, bombardment, and even for air-to-air combat. Aircrafts were initially utilized for reconnaissance, but as the conflict continued, they were increasingly deployed in battle. Air-to-air confrontations began with fighter planes such as military use aircrafts. For instance, back in the 1916 military aircraft were used at the Battle of the Somme which was a deadly battle against German forces along the Western Front of World War I. The combat lasted from July 1 to November 1916. British Army's Royal Flying Corps (RFC) was vital to the conflict. The RFC flew reconnaissance sorties to acquire
intelligence on German forces and artillery positions and attacked enemy areas to reinforce ground troops.
For the current event news, the Defense Department disclosed that artificial intelligence operated a jet resembling an F-16 for a total of 17 hours during 12 missions. A series of flights utilizing the X-62A Vista experimental aircraft took place in December at Edwards Air Force Base
in California. The test's objective is to identify whether AI-controlled aircraft can cooperate with
human pilots in a combat scenario. AI in military aviation could completely change how air warfare is carried out. AI systems may provide the military an advantage in combat because they can process huge amounts of information and make choices more quickly than humans. A representative of AACO stated, "It is crucial that we fly these agents to validate the difference from the simulator to live flights after training our AI-driven autonomy agents using high-
performance computing, modeling, and simulation."
In conclusion, this shows how military aviation has changed through time and how AI research will continue to influence how air combat is fought in the future. The use of AI in military applications has both advantages and drawbacks, but it is obvious that the technology will become more crucial to national defense and security in the years to come.

Intro to Transport Processes
TRUE or FALSE. Please provide a quick explanation thanks!
1. Each molecule of a system has a certain quantity of mass, thermal energy, or momentum associated with it.
2. Momentum transport in a fluid depends bulk movement of molecules and not on individual molecule of the system.
3. At same mass, the momentum of a molecule is greater than the other molecules if it has less velocity?

Answer Q1 and Q2 (thermofluids)

The rapid progress of engineering design and information technology has caused difficulties in analyzing system reliability. Because of the increased complexity in system reliability structure (component/subsystem interfaces), many unexpected failure modes could occur, and their behaviors are interdependent. At a system’s design and development stage, the main challenge in analyzing a complex system is the failure uncertainty introduced by the incomplete knowledge of the system. This makes it hard to decompose system reliability into subsystem/component reliability in a deterministic manner, such as series or parallel systems. As a result, some common reliability analysis tools such as fault tree (FT) and reliability block diagram (RBD) become inadequate. Do you agree, why or why not? Are there any other approaches to system reliability assessment beside these tools at the early system’s design and development stage (what are these approaches)?

You are watching a live concert. You can also find the concert streaming live on Spotify. About how far must you stand from the stage in order for
the live concert and the live stream to be perfectly in sync?
HINT: Assume the radio signal (Spotify) has to travel all the way around the Earth.
circumference of the Earth (average): 40,041,000 m
Speed of sound: 345 m/s
Speed of light: 300,000,000 m/s

The ace pilot, Wash, attempts to put the ship Serenity (50,000 kg) in orbit at an altitude of 400 km around a planet (called Haven), which is about the same size as the Earth (D = 12,800 km). He has slowed to an approach velocity of 2 km/s. (recall: G = 6.67 x10-11 N m2 kg-2)
Unfortunately, on approach, Serenity’s engines fail and she begins to plummet towards the surface. If the ship accelerates at 1.8g, what is the mass of the planet?
What would the acceleration of the ship be at 350 km? Is a constant acceleration safe to assume?
Assume that the average acceleration over the 50 km, what is the velocity of Serenity at the height of 350-km?
Upon entry, the ship hits the atmosphere at 350 km (with a density of 0.1 kg m-3). The ship slows to a terminal velocity of 1550 m/s. How big is the heat shield that slows the ship?
How quickly does the ship slow (ignore gravity)?

2.2.14. [Level 2] A ball is launched with a speed vo at an
angle B = 50° with respect to the horizontal toward point A,
which is located d = 5 m along a surface inclined at 0 = 15°
to ground. If the launch site is s = 4 m from the base of the
incline, at what speed vo should the ball be launched so that
it lands at A? How long is the ball airborne?

⦁ “God himself could not sink this ship” This is an advertisement for the Titanic, produced in the early 1900s. However, after colliding with an iceberg at dawn on April 15, 1912, two rivers were formed, and out of the 2,200 people on board, 1,500 people, including the captain, sank with the ship. According to a later investigation, the “temperature change theory” (DBTT theory) was the most promising cause of the sinking. Give a brief guess of the cause of the ship's sinking in relation to temperature.
