Did you know that the crisp white and vibrant red stripes on a windsock are not just for adding a pop of color to airport terminals, helipads, or high-rise buildings?
They actually indicate precise wind speeds, serving as a vital visual aid for pilots, meteorologists, and engineers to gauge air currents and navigate safely.
Here's how the carefully calibrated stripes provide essential information in the blink of an eye.

Happy anniversary of the birth of ballooning!

On 19 September 1783, the Montgolfières brothers’ balloon Aerostat Réveillon was flown with the first (non-human) living creatures in a basket attached to the balloon: a sheep called Montauciel ("Climb-to-the-sky"), a duck and a rooster. The sheep was believed to have a reasonable approximation of human physiology. The duck was expected to be unharmed by being lifted aloft. It was included as a control for effects created by the aircraft rather than the altitude. The rooster was included as a further control as it was a bird that did not fly at high altitudes. This demonstration was performed before a crowd at the royal palace in Versailles, before King Louis XVI of France and Queen Marie Antoinette. The flight lasted approximately eight minutes, covered two miles (3 km), and obtained an altitude of about 1,500 feet (460 m). The craft landed safely after flying.
