Oh yes... 🙄 Interestingly, this overall configuration with canard is quite popular with Boeing for its near-sonic and supersonic concepts. See the recent HSCV study for instance: aviationweek.com/aerospace/em.... ✈️ #aircraft #engineering

Massive LT capital project and construction planning headache incoming... But likely worth it. Do you prefer to see your evil neighbor use the gauge he forced on you 150 yrs ago to invade you? Or increase connectivity to the broader EU network? Which way, modern Finns? 😉🚄 #infrastructure

Here comes the grey zone... It's already U.S. "high speed" but technically just "meh fairly fast" by European standards! 😱😉

#DYK? You can read the train speed in real-time when you ride the Alfa Pendular train in Portugal. 🇵🇹 Another fun fact... 162 km/h is not yet considered "high speed"! 😱 Lost in translation? We talk about U.S. terminology here: buff.ly/fxiB0DN. 🚄 #mobility @trb.org

Nice collection of police patches at the Philly Police Dept.'s Airport Unit HQ. 👮🇺🇸 Many of them are from other airport PDs. ✈️ The display includes a patch from the French DNPAF which has a broad scope with roles that are typically fulfilled by DHS in the US. 🇫🇷 #airports #airtravel #publicsafety
