It’s obviously been a tough year for AWES development.
Maybe this is too early (wishful) for an End of Year Review.
How is AWES doing?
I’d love to know forum opinion on how you see the current state of AWES
And how you see it evolving.
What sort of questions would you like to see polled?
for starters
Was there a favourite 2020 zoom call?
Did the IEA TEM meet your needs?
Most surprising result in a lab test, field test, calculation, sim?
Have you been able to keep flying?
Will you be flying more, bigger, faster stronger next year?
AWES logistics must have been tough, has component supply struggled, have you patched?
When will your system be running a test field 24/7? Shipping to customers?
Has regulation and certification been more or less complex?
One note of caution
I feel My own opinions are disproportionately over-represented on this forum. I post regularly but my rotary system architecture is less common in the wider AWES world.
By far the most common architecture is Yo-Yo. Yet to me it seems that few people on the forum actively champion the Yo-Yo method.
Maybe the last question should be opinion of health of the forum. Do we need more Yo-Yo representation? The health of AWES science is measure in these discussions. Personally I am really grateful for the way this forum has been handled and run. A one sided forum has played out before in AWES. This one seems much better. But we still have work to do.
Some of you will have been missing chanting from sports ground terraces. I never do go to these things but I’ll attempt.
COME ON YOU YO-YO’s!!
COME ON YOU YO-YO’s!!
ok that was weird but
COME ON YOU YO-YO’s!!
