How Do Fighter Jets Fly Upside-Down?

Fighter jets are known for their supersonic speeds and impeccable maneuvers. One of the key distinctions of fighter jets is their ability to achieve and sustain an inverted flight. The wings must continue to generate lift even in the upside-down position. The design of the wings is such that they are symmetric and equally rounded at the top and bottom. Symmetric wings generate an equal amount of lift in the inverted position without losing speed or altitude.

Sphere Entertainment is rolling out Sphere Studios with its newly developed ultra-high-resolution camera system aimed at lensing immersive entertainment exclusively for the MSG Sphere, which is slated to open in the fall in Las Vegas.

The massive MSG Sphere — whose construction is expected to cost $2.175 billion — features a 160,000-square-foot, 16K-by-16K wraparound LED display, custom spatial audio system and 4D capabilities enabled through haptic seats and environmental effects.

To film imagery for the immersive display venue, the studio has developed Big Sky, a custom single-lens camera system with a 316-megapixel, 3-inch x 3-inch HDR image sensor that it says can capture 18K x 18K images up to 120 frames per second. “Big Sky allows us to capture cinematic content at a level of detail never before possible, opening up extraordinary possibilities and pushing immersive imaging technology forward,” claims lead architect Deanan DaSilva in a statement.
