Terrible Robot posted:I like that it ruined the fan but actually seems to have left the turbine itself (mostly) intact. None of what's in the video is a turbine, those are at the back of the engine. The stationary blades you see are normally stationary. Behind them (turning) is the fan.

The fan is the huge front circle inlet, the hot section is the slightly smaller set of blades still intact in the video. Glowing hell ring is *literally* a glowing ring; I'm pretty sure that's a hosed up bearing glowing red hot from friction.

Yeah that's definitely an incinerated bearing. Now my question in relation to that is, "cause or effect?"

Godholio posted:The F-15E is not an up-armored F-15. It's a structurally sturdier (for payload) two-seater redesigned primarily for air-to-ground missions, while the A-D models' motto was "Not a pound for air to ground." And this is the requirement he gave that answer for: quote:Design a close support aircraft using only technology available in 1985. Minimum top speed 400mph. Must capable of carrying at least 5000kg of munitions and carry internal gun. Must be low-cost, highly resistant to ground-fire and have minimal ground support requirements. STOL or rough-field capability a plus. An F-15E is closer to that than throwing armor on a A-D. Although my answer would just be an A-10.

AzureSkys posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hONI3ztajb4 Very cool! The F-16s on the "opposite side of the race track" were probably looking at it with radar when they were heading towards each other. Training pilots against low observables, testing new radar tech, something like that. I bet the F-117 can have many years of life left if it has a useful training or testing mission.

QF-117 seems like a useful tool for training intercepts on low-observable targets.

Co-worker flew from Edmonton to Reykjavik and upgraded to their version of 1st called "Saga" class or something. Sounds like domestic business from the way he described it. He said the food was good, service was excellent and the flight was fine.

david_a posted:I remember it being fairly decent. Stopping in Reykjavik breaks up the Atlantic crossing fairly nicely, although honestly with in-flight entertainment getting better (both on the plane and your own devices) that’s not as big of a deal anymore. You should've just stopped in Iceland because it was probably cooler than wherever you were going.

I saw they fly to Brussels, or at least from Brussels (on the way there is another connection through Oslo, but not on the way back?), but you do have to pay for meals in peon class. Total journey time is comparable or even shorter than Delta through Amsterdam to Seattle.

Yeah, I used to tempt fate taking off my belt once the light went out - nowadays I just loosen it a bit, but keep it on tightly enough that I won't become one with the console should we suddenly dive 5-10k in the space of a few seconds.

I strap in hard when we begin the roll, loosen up after climbing enough that we probably aren’t going to hit anything, and tighten again if things get shaky or I see FAs hurriedly sitting down, and tighten again for landing until we’re off the runway and high speed taxi.

I feel terrible for the cabin crew, and anyone using the lavatory at the time (EDIT: Or passengers flying with infants on their lap, I forgot about that... jesus). The rest of the people? Honestly, wear your loving seatbelt. Flying is not a goddamn game, and from students to licensed pilots to passengers, I'm sick of this attitude that you can simply ignore best practices and be casual about safety, because just like in this incident, it leads to unnecessary injury, and often damage to the aircraft or death. Look at that incident in Russia where people died because loving morons were taking their hand baggage with them during an evacuation. Failure to follow instruction almost certainly cost human lives. Flying is currently an exceptionally safe method of transportation, but that has lulled people into a false sense of security -- pilots and passengers alike -- and when that translates into ignoring safety measures, people's lives are at risk, and that's something I try to drill into all of my students.

I just leave my seatbelt on in exactly the same way unless I bust out the lie flat. Then it needs to be adjusted but I still keep it on.

Jealous Cow posted:Not to go all r/IAmVeryBadass, but if some troglodyte in front of me was blocking my escape while trying to get their poo poo I would use whatever means necessary to remove them as an obstacle for myself and others. George Carlin had a whole bit on this quote:I locate my nearest emergency exit, and then I plan my route. You have to plan your route. It's not always a straight line, is it? Sometimes there's a really big fat gently caress sitting right in front of you. Well, you know you'll never get over him. I look around for women and children, midgets and dwarves, cripples, war widows, paralyzed veterans, people with broken legs, anybody who looks like they can't move too well; the emotionally disturbed come in VERY handy at a time like this. You might have to go out of your way to find these people, but you'll get out of the plane a lot God drat quicker, believe me. I say, "Let's see, I'll go around the fat gently caress, step on the widow's head, push those children out of the way, knock down the paralyzed midget, and get out of the plane where I can help others."
