raptor

The methane powered Raptor engine for the MCT is just sheer insanity.

Musk, when he says he's going to build a Raptor engine, has the authority to make it happen.

Update: that's the Mojave Desert, and the original photo is of the first 'raptor' prototype parked at Edwards AFB.

The F-22 Raptor is a specialized air superiority fighter and an overwhelming success at that.

However, the law does bend for a regular citizen who finds an injured live raptor.

A physics quibble - should the raptor be able to stop instantaneously, even when moving right near the speed of light?

If each individual turbine could detect and shut down when a raptor comes into its vicinity that would save birds and minimize downtime.

It's an interesting question about the huge-and-instantaneous acceleration when the raptor stops.

But to the moving raptor, those 'simultaneous' moments happen at different times.

I don't have any immediate plans to port Velocity Raptor over, though.

I've measured the bullet speed by syncing the raptor with the bullets and it seems that Newtonian bullets go 2 mph and relativistic ones (level 35) only 1.4 mph?

(Luckily, VR is no normal raptor) If you do want to be able to see the acceleration, you can always use the arrow keys to slow down...

They have also hinted at a project "Raptor" which is a ginormous engine.

I realized that it's essentially an "almost" generator; the game is always teasing you with cool possibilities (you'll jump your vehicle off a cliff and almost hit a raptor, and then later realize you can actually do this and the game will reward you for it).

Wasn't Apple the company that had nearly a decade of abandoned "next generation" operating systems (Pink, StarTrek, Raptor, NuKernel, TalOS, Copland, Gershwin) before finally buying NeXT (based on open-source Mach from CMU) and later establishing a cooperative coexistence with FreeBSD.

Consider reading up on rapid tornado (Raptor) codes, other fountain codes, Goppa codes… there are whole families of error-correcting codes with different sets of tradeoffs.

The front stealth shape is nearly identical to the F-22 Raptor, however it uses canards to give it some aerial superior advantages at a high angle of attack.

A similar thing happened with the F-22A Raptor.
