It may or may have not clipped a chopper, which remains may or may have not been found. Ah, Russia.

That's quite the safety record the An-148 has racked up... 39 built, 2 crashed

IL-76: 960 built, 75 crashed (one in twelve) Tu-154: 1026 made, 110 crashed (one in ten) F-104G: 1100 built, 270 crashed (one in four) SR-71: 32 built, 12 crashed (one in three) plus uncountable prototypes where the only one made was destroyed. Admittedly it is a terrible record for a relatively modern passenger jet.

The A400M that crashed in Seville was the 22nd built. Until we know what caused this crash, I think it's premature to conjecture it's a flaw in the type itself.

Jon Ostower or someone on twitter mentioned this one was in the first batch produced, which had an abnormally high (even for recent Russian jets) mechanical failure rate. First crash in 440 days.

The funny thing about me bringing up the Musk assistant anecdote if that I wasn't even thinking about the unfairness or the bullshittedness of it, it's the drat stupidity of the idea. You don't hire someone to do their job better than you can (especially if you're a savant as Musk apparently is). You hire them so you don't have to do that poo poo and can spend your time doing something else. I'm sure I can clean toilets better than most people if I put my mind to it, but I ain't firing the janitor and taking over his job if I someday become CEO of a company. Likewise, if you really wanna show you're the best, you'd swap jobs. CEO works as the assistant, assistant works as the CEO. If the assistant does a better job running the company, you either GTFO or accept you're the bottom bitch now.

Elon Musk is a smart man who was in the right place at the right time several times, and has a talent for marketing and showmanship. His fortune during the dot-coms made him the guy who could actually make dreams come true.

This is both aeronautical and insane. https://www.washingtonpost.com/worl...m=.0d7a9aafaaf2 Iranian RQ-alike flying wing gets potted by an attack helicopter. I was pretty sure at the time that they didn't hax0r an RQ-170, and they were parading a bunch of F-5 parts and quick-expanding foam. But maybe not. Though the fact that it got got by a helicopter seems to argue against it's stealthness.

The whole assistant thing has been denied by Musk. He says he had the issue where he had the same secretary for 10 years, but she was a "generalist" so he replaced her with multiple specialists and gave her a 52-week severance package.

Without commenting on the particulars of what did or didn't bring down the RQ-170, the US has openly acknowledged that Iran got a hold of an RQ-170. They just didn't confirm how it was that it came to be sitting on the ground in Iran rather than flying over Iran.

I'm in the middle of reading Outlaws Inc. right now and the IL-76 is a good example of how a plane might have a good design and be well piloted, but still have a high crash ratio simply because of the vibrant second life they have flying around Africa/South America/the Middle East

Haven't seen this here yet, but Emirates converted a bunch of options to firm orders for the 380 so it's going to be in production for about 10 more years, possibly longer if they firm more https://www.flightglobal.com/news/articles/emirates-firms-order-for-20-a380s-445801/ I imagine Airbus made it pretty sweet.

Apparently there is an issue with the seal between the shaft and the rear of the compressor section, where a previous problem was identified and a fix was attempted. Interestingly, this problem only seems to be affecting the Airbus-spec PW1100G and not the PW1500G on the CSeries - presumably because of the higher thrust demanded by A320 rather than the CSeries.

Interesting that all the Rolls Royce equipped 787s parked awaiting parts hasn't been reported as a risk to Boeing. I think there's a lot of stuff that goes on that's just routine mods/fixes/fixes for the fixes/fixes for when the last fix didn't fix it, etc that stays behind the firewall so to speak, so that when something does get reported it seems like a big deal. But really it's just business as usual. Ok so a bunch of engines have a bad seal. So you run an intensive maintenance program to swap them out and change the seals. Other than maybe a potential slowdown of production, it shouldn't affect Airbus much at all, it's UTAS that's going to have to eat the warranty repair costs.

Spaceflight Update on NASA's Image: They've been able to download diag info from the craft, batteries are fully charged and it appears to be functioning, granted through only the A side Bus, which was thought to be dead. Can't talk back to it yet, but its nice to see it come back to life. https://www.nasa.gov/feature/goddard/2018/nasa-image-confirmed

I remember an episode of Air Crash Investigation where a plane crashed in (I think) the Caribbean because it was overloaded and the pilots turned off de-icing to conserve power. Wonder if anything like that could have happened here.
