you gotta be kidding me

if there was a competition to see what on earth has the most acronyms, the hands down champion would definitely be the substitute for women, the airplane. there's at least a million and one acronyms in an airplane's systems. trust me, you'll never find more acronyms anywhere else than you would in an airplane.

today while studying i came across this thing called EEC which means Electronic Engine Controls. it's a super smart computer that controls the required performance of the engine. i shan't go any deeper cause i still don't quite get how it works and it'll bore all of you to death. anyway i still remember my lecturer telling us that the United States Air Force's latest inventory the F-22 Raptor's (above picture) EEC can perform tens of millions of calculations in ONE second.

utter insanity.
