Mobile ground stations (i.e. anything lighter than a few pound and using less than a few watt) will be L-band, and Starlink uses the much higher frequency Ka band (>= 20 GHz).
They also require quite sophisticated steering/beamforming.
They do when they’re flying the opposite direction as you.
Also, he’ll if we civilians know what kinds of retrofits have been made in the past several decades, particularly for the purpose of testing and development.
The U2 is a very well-understood and photographed airframe. Even if given engine upgrades, it wouldn't be more than a few mph faster than before. Those big glider wings limit it to a very narrow, predictable, flight envelope.
Fanned by a couple of 100 mile/hour winds. It would take a small miracle for the fire to go out by itself under those conditions, they may have tried to flood it with CO2 but it's so open to the elements even that may no longer work.
> Most pilots will never be in a situation where MCAS is useful.
And if they are in the situation? Also, there's no data on how many times MCAS activated on non-crashing flights with valid data, so this statement is 100% speculation.
I have done this from time to time when debugging applications that run inside Docker. I'd bash into the container as root and then download and install my development tools and check out the repo where the code lives. Once the code is functionally correct, then I can worry about performance optimizations given Docker...
