"Following dissemination of false information about flight AT-811 of July 23rd, Frankfurt - Casablanca, we wish to clarify that Frankfurt tower advised the captain of our flight in question of possible wake turbulence as result of a simultaneous landing of an A330. As result the captain performed a maneouver to accelerate in order to achieve speeds which permitted safe takeoff." Suuuuurrrre

That's the leading edge cowl and anti-ice system. Not good, and the engine probably wasn't making as much power, but it's not critical, as long as none of it got ingested as it left the aircraft.

I bet it takes more than 7 minutes to drag the plane in and out of that parking lot.The sad truth of planes, you can never land them in the right spot.

Stop analyzing it and admit that the guy is living his dream. It might even be my dream if I didn't have a slight fear of death.

Yeah, he couldn't have spent an extra month designing fold-up wings? Of course, if you don't get that *absolutely* right...

I mean, it's fun and cool, and I'd love to do the same if i was living and working someplace where I could take off and land at home and work. And with a bit more distance between the two.

gently caress you downers, commuting by plane isn't easier or faster but it is way better. Like if you could drive a shitbox Toyota Yaris or a Ferrari to work, what would you pick? I am kicking myself for not commuting by speedboat while I had the chance. Instead I took the bus.

I think it is insanely cool as hell, including building it. I just am skeptical of the practicality the video makes it out to be. Cool though? Absolutely.

What's the MPG equivalent of a plane like that? I realized I have no concept of how much fuel planes use.

Everyone here at Pratt is talking about the 737 engine failure. A sigh of relief that it wasn't one of our engines. We're also pretty glad none of the issues were working on are this public. I can guarantee you none of the guys over at GE slept this weekend.

david_a posted:What's the MPG equivalent of a plane like that? I realized I have no concept of how much fuel planes use. That's a Verner Motors 3 cylinder radial. I can't find actual burn numbers, but their 5 cylinder radial (which also has bigger cylinders,) burns 5.5gph at full power. I'd guesstimate the 3 cylinder burns 2.5-3gph, and that plane probably does 60 or 65mph. Maybe a touch less.

Remember that truck with the radial engine and all sorts of other plane parts? They brought it to Jay Leno's shop. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HADpy9bF2U4

Sagebrush posted:good point. now it's not cool at all that he commutes to work in a homemade airplane Well of course it's cool, I'm just against making silly, groundless justifications for it. It should be enough reason that driving behind your neighbour to work every day was crushing your soul. In fact, an integral part of my plans for hotshot IT-industry startup is waterfront office, house and ATOL 650 LSA. That's the only finalized part of my plans. Looking for angel investors!

Czech guy needs to step up his game, put a tail hook on his plane and arresting wires on the roof of that factory. I'm undecided on launch options, leaning ski jump over catapult.

These guys are one "gently caress having like a dozen lift fans is pretty dumb let's just have one big lift fan and a little one to counteract torque" away from making my post a reality.

Flying Delta One tomorrow for the first time. Normally fly BA transatlantic, either Club World or First. I need someone to hold me and tell me it'll be OK. (Also a little miffed I couldn't go OneWorld because now I get no tier points and a bunch of useless Delta Miles.)

Unfortunately, its hydrazine tanks are frozen, and its spinning, and unless something changes soon, it'll be another two years before it has enough power to re-establish contact again as it slips out of the light.
