Yize abakhiqizi bezindiza bebelokhu besebenzisa izindlela ezahlukahlukene zokukhiqiza zokwengeza…
Akunandaba ukuthi uziklama kanjani, uzisonge, uzisike noma uziphonse kanjani, izindiza zamaphepha ziyindlela ehlekisa ngokuhlekisa yokufunda izisekelo ze-aerodynamics nganoma yisiphi isikhathi. Kumklami waseSao-Paola u-Arthur Sacek, baphinde baba ugqozi ekwakhiweni kwakhe kweLEGO kwakamuva: umshini wokukhiqiza indiza yamaphepha ezenzakalelayo ongathatha ishidi elilodwa le…
Isetshenziswa kabanzi phakathi neMpi Yezwe II, iBoeing B-17 Flying Fortress eyindumezulu yayiyibhomu elinamandla elinenjini enezine elasetshenziselwa ukuqhumisa ngamabhomu futhi yayithandwa ngenxa yekhono layo lokulungisa umonakalo wempi futhi ibuyisa nabasebenzi ngokuphepha.

Ukuqala kwalesi sikhathi samaholide, umkhiqizi we-aerospace uthengisa iqoqo lezingxenye zendiza ezilahliwe — ezinye zifakwe ibhayisikili ngeminye imikhiqizo, ezinye hhayi — ngesitolo sabo esisha se-Custom Hangar online.…
Akunandaba ukuthi sesithuthuke kangakanani ngamakhono wephrinta we-3D akamuva kusuka ekuxazululeni kuya ezintweni ezisetshenziswayo, kusenzima ukuthi kube nzima ukwazisa 'ubungcweti' bemodeli eyenziwe ngamadijithi ngaphezulu kweyakhiwe ngesandla. Thatha isibonelo, le modeli yesikali esingu-1: 60 yeBoing 777 eyenziwe ngamafolda efayela le-manila kusuka enkosini…
Usebenzisa imigqa yakhe yophawu lwentengiso ophawu lwentengiso lwe-future on an nostalgic sci-fi centerpiece, idizayini yakamuva kaMarc Newson yi-yin ne-yang yalokho obekungaba khona nokuthi kungaba yini.
