A book about Blinkit, now on Blinkit.
I have no idea how @albidhindsa finds time for writing books alongside all that he has to do, but this is an excellent read about the challenges of starting up, building, breaking, and rebuilding for retail in India.
A few hundred signed copies available on Blinkit.
We just completed a successful flight for our tech demonstrator, Lat One v0.2.
Lat Aerospace is building ultra-short takeoff and landing aircraft using blown wing technology. Think fixed-wing performance with near-helicopter access.
A couple of months ago, v0.1 achieved uSTOL but crashed shortly after. That was expected. v0.2 was about completing the full mission, and it did. The blown wing concept worked in reality. Closed-loop control got validated. We'd predicted a cruise speed of 30-32 m/s and cruised comfortably at 33. No thermal issues despite a burning afternoon. The quick-detach wings held through aggressive turns. Was in the air for over 6 minutes. Smooth touchdown, and ready to fly again.
But the thing that makes me the happiest isn't any of that. It's that our CFD studies, aerodynamic models, SIL simulations, and flight logs all match, almost perfectly. That's what real engineering looks like. I am so proud of our team.
A long way to go, and we are getting there.
Temple is the benchmark even for things as simple as heart rate. Half the advantage lies in the location: the temple. The other half lies in the technology behind Temple.
In a 2024 study measuring heart rate at four body sites simultaneously over 13 hours of real-world activity, the forehead was the most accurate site tested.

Video of Lat One v0.1 test flight.
uSTOL achieved. Achievement unlocked 🛫
The plane crashed a bit later, which we knew was going to happen, and our simulations had already suggested so, due to structural defects. However, the main objective of the test flight was to test uSTOL, which was successfully demonstrated.
We are already building Lat One v0.2, which should hopefully complete a mission. Making a plane take off is only 20% of the problem. Making it land safely is where the work lies.
Overall, we learnt so much from this entire experience. We will come out better and stronger from this.
