The evidence that half of the redesign was to make it work for phones doesn't endear me either. I hate seeing a place I put effort into improving pre-upgrade sink into apathy. I will admit that they are all small things that are mostly probably irrelevant to the average random person, but they're small things like the airport info and aircraft variant organization that made me like the site to start with.

In this day and age I was expecting to hear that the original owner or new site-runner was a literal nazi or some poo poo... not on the technical side.

In my professional opinion, that engine isn't putting out good thrust.

They're landing in Goose Bay, with a damaged engine. Kind of like what you'd see from a bird strike.

Seems unlikely. My scientific wildass guess is that the inlet structure failed and the engine ate most of it, causing the fan to fail catastrophically.

Chemtrails are like NOS. Drop too much at once and you’ll blow up your engine.

Thankfully it looks as though it worked as designed, containment took the hit and left all the broken poo poo behind in the wake rather than escaping laterally. About 10 years ago American had a turbine disk come apart during a maintenance run at full power and it sent parts through the pack bay, piercing fuel tanks and causing a fire. One part of the disk was found stuck on the outboard side of the #2 (right) engine and another part was found 2600 feet away in a parking lot. http://www.aero-news.net/index.cfm?do=main.textpost&id=04a348cc-c558-4408-b54e-f04bf8a5caf0

Lake of Methane posted:There are no thrust reversers on the A380's #1 engines. There were on-again off-again plans to build the A380 with no TRs at all, depending on what kind of brake performance they were able to achieve. They ended up omitting #1 and #4.

Anything on who makes the engine? I might have a busy few months at work if someone says it's a GP7200.

For some reason looking at that engine I think about those "putting googly eyes on a washing machine and tossing a brick in" GIFs.

cowboy elvis posted:I mean who really needs a perfectly serviceable leading edge flap? Slat. It's one piece out there. Couple hours to replace. I don't even thing those need a checkflight or anything. This whole repair should be as simple as an engine quick-change and a new slat. Fun fact: Big, expensive parts like that are usually rented or sent in on an overhaul/exchange. They send you one in a box, you send your busted one back. They repair it. It's 100% possible that the slat damage you see there will get repaired and will be re-hung on something else later when another plane hits a bird or whatever.
