Mach Number and Static Air Temperature vintage aircraft instruments #Short #InTheRightOrientation

A little teaser. We break the sound barrier and freeze to -100C. Kind of. At least we pretend to. It's a short without being a short, because I refuse to turn my camera the wrong way. Also, the Static Air Temp indicator sounds a bit angry, I wouldn't fly it. These should be used in a future video with our analog mechanical Air Data Computer.

"I refuse to turn my camera the wrong way." 🤣 That gets a like for sure 👍

[frogz]

finally someone doing shorts right!!!
i liked this video because you refuse to make tall videos that are forced to play in loop

[Bullorg]

Only short I ever watched. Video is a horisontal medium. Thank you.

The only #shorts I will watch. You are dang right #InTheRightOrientation. Thank you very much Marc for fighting the good fight! Thumbs up, two views and a comment from me.

The red line at Mach 0.9 is the "never exceed speed" for whatever aircraft originally carried these.

[Hans-gbmv]

A thumbs up just for keeping your camera oriented in the right way ;)

Now I'm curious to see what it takes to make these guys move.

Wow, the fastest recorded speed for a workbench clearly needs to be recognised by the record books.

Great content for mid-age nerds bored on Christmas Eve. (And I love it)

[suricatakat]

Very cool! Heh.
Also, thank you for not doing the typical "short". I really hate those things!

> because I refuse to turn my camera the wrong way

Man, i bless You for those words! 🤩👍🤙💪😎

I refuse to watch "Shorts" for the very same reason. Thank you Marc!

[SkyhawkSteve]

as a former avionics tech, and then later a designer, this sort of avionics content is even better than the usual (which is already incredible!).

[piranha]

All shorts should look like this! I refuse to watch the other kind of shorts.

[Wobblybob]

Static air temperature indicator/Fax machine. Nice combo!

[rivards]

I expected to get pranked with a Sonic Boom at Mach 1!

[franzkoviakalak]

Skookum defined. Looking forward to a tear apart!

[hinz]

A big like for No Vertical Video Syndrome!

[graemedavidson]

Marc’s videos are a gift all year round. Soon he reveals the new dashboard for the sleigh!

[Colaholiker]

Thanks for being able to hold the camera the right way. After all, today's computer screens are wider than tall, so who came up with that "portrait mode" video?
Taking a deeper thought, maybe they wanted to challenge you to playback the video on the Xerox Alto?

Two months later:
Phone: *ding* (Youtube notification pops up)
Notification bubble: "CuriousMarc has released a new video: Playing Youtube shorts on the Xerox Alto"
Me: 🤯

wow!..that was going nowhere really fast! :P
