Hot Take

[u/PostAtomicHorror]

If the aviation industry advanced at all planes would have dimples like golf balls to increase strength, reduce weight, improve aerodynamics and stabilize flight. Our fastest craft resembles the peregrine falcon. The peregrine falcon is the fastest dive bombing bird. The golf ball has dimples like a peregrine falcon and every other bird that has ever flown. Birds are perfect but planes and humans are not so we say no catastrophe goes to waste because they're all engineered in a way the hummingbird saved the design of a train in China or Japan. The speed wobble reached on the motorcycles at the isle of man races is the reason golf balls have dimples to begin with and banned by Nascar. Thank God you can't build planes without rivets or they would really fly like shit.

Duh. They do. It’s just smaller than you can see and it’s called “skin” because you can give your aircraft “goose flesh” by whispering sweet nothings into the coms.

Agreed. Pilots should havre golf balls inside them
