You can lead the 737 to water, but you can't make it drink

Runway excursion might just be my favorite aviation term, plane's just going on a lil adventure.

There’s a lot of variables but the new regional contracts actually look like pay for people that have close to 100k in debt

hobbesmaster posted:I believe most of the "nuclear war" planes still have sextant ports. Early 747s had that mounted sextant port which is now a "smoke evacuation port" in modern 744s/748s: The E-3 does have a sextant port. In the 2000s we had an antenna that went through it so we could use a phone connection to get laptop connectivity for tactical chat (and technically email and stuff, but the speeds were dogshit, so that stuff was unusable).

Phanatic posted:Boom needs a new engine 'cause Rolls-Royce doesn't want anything to do with them. quote:Rolls-Royce disclosed its decision to aviation industry media outlets, saying that “we’ve completed our contract with Boom and delivered various engineering studies for their Overture supersonic (program).” Animal posted:Funny how Boom countered RR's announcement by pretending that they are the ones who decided to part ways, and that they will announce their selected engine partner. As if this was a reality TV show. I mean, they probably did in a way. "Delivered engineering studies" in this case can mean "we have determined this will cost $Texas" and technically Boom turned down paying them $Texas. They probably quoted something like whatever it would've cost to build a civilian F136 (that was the second source engine option for the F-35 that the pentagon decided they didn't want). When that was cancelled GE said quote:After self-funding the project GE and Rolls-Royce announced on 2 December 2011, that they would not continue development of the F136 engine because it is not in their best interest.[25][26][27] By then, the six engines had logged more than 1,200 hours of testing since 2009. During the year, GE said that development of the engines was 80% complete; the remaining work would have required US$1.9-2.6 billion in funding. Except you know ITAR so they'd have had to recreate one  edit: lol I never saw this: https://boomsupersonic.com/flyby/post/overture-takes-shape-at-farnborough-international-airshow quote:Overture Takes Shape at Farnborough International Airshow A production design without engines? hobbesmaster fucked around with this message at 01:40 on Sep 28, 2022 |

Phanatic posted:Boom needs a new engine 'cause Rolls-Royce doesn't want anything to do with them. I understand why you would start a supersonic plane company to go after the VC money. I understand why an airliner would order a supersonic plane, that will never be delivered, for the PR. But I don't understand why an engine manufacturer would get involved with a plane that will never be built, will not need the engines, and get the PR hit for being unable to deliver the engine.

Saukkis posted:But I don't understand why an engine manufacturer would get involved with a plane that will never be built, will not need the engines, and get the PR hit for being unable to deliver the engine. My guess is that RR figured Boom would implode before an engine had been delivered (or even designed), so they thought they might as well bilk some VC morons for what's basically free R&D money, and if a miracle happened and Boom survived, they'd design the engine. I don't think anyone with any credibility in the aviation industry took Boom seriously at all, and it sounds like RR held up their end of the deal, so any PR fallout Rolls Royce sees won't be more significant than angry tweets or something.

I'm sick of people trying to deliver revolution in aviation. gently caress supersonic, just make re-engines for the huge piston fleet running heinously inefficient engines on leaded gas! I don't think they actually want to solve problems, they want to be the big, swinging' supersonic cock.

Greatly appreciating the post/username synergy here. And yeah, Boom was never gonna be anything but vaporware. I gotta give em credit, though; naming your company after the insurmountable flaw in your business plan is a bold move!

The goal isn't to solve problems, it's to make enough money to boost this and next quarters' earnings. If solving problems is the only way to do that, FINE. But that's not the point.
