The E6-B never runs out of batteries mid-flight, so (circular) slide rules still haven’t gone out of fashion in aviation:
The E6B flight computer is a form of circular slide rule used in aviation and one of the very few analog calculating devices in widespread[citation needed] use in the 21st century.
They are mostly used in flight training, because these flight computers have been replaced with electronic planning tools or software and websites that make these calculations for the pilots. These flight computers are used during flight planning (on the ground before takeoff) to aid in calculating fuel burn, wind cor...
