Yeah man, those photos are great. 'nthing the B25. I've seen far, far worse looking commercial prints. I'm assuming the lighting on the underside is the pyro? You should watermark those. What are you using for equipment? Don't you dare say your phone lol

 That will not buff out. You too can total a plane with this one weird trick. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jw-aUVa3a0U Platystemon fucked around with this message at 22:43 on Jul 31, 2023 |

Is it bouncing off the single rear that gives it the torsion needed to do that, or can you just skip the rear gear entirely

Hadlock posted:Is it bouncing off the single rear that gives it the torsion needed to do that, or can you just skip the rear gear entirely I am not an airplane designer but I think it's the first hard hit on the nose gear, which occurred with the mains off the ground. The main landing gear is at roughly the center of mass of the airplane and everything in the structure is engineered around normal landing technique, which is to absorb the energy of the landing impact through the mains with the airplane rotated to a medium AoA, then rotate the nose down gently. When the nose gear is temporarily the only thing supporting the entire weight of the airplane, that puts a bending moment on the fuselage which the fuselage was not designed to handle. (I'd guess that this is exacerbated by the nose gear not having enough shock absorber capacity to handle the whole aircraft's weight, making the impact forces much shorter and sharper than the same impulse through the mains.)

Reddit was kicking around that the type was known to slam down the nose if you didn't keep it up after the mains come down. In the right conditions that's presumably enough even if you don't bounce the back. Supposedly the guy was on IOE and there's going to be a lot of blame thrown around but it probably isn't going to be the end of anyone's career.

Still going, in fact. the UAL one, who knows, but it's potentially more fixable than it looks. the probable difference is JA610A was 9 years old at the time and this UAL one is, what, 32?

well, yeah. It makes sense to assume this one's going into the parts bin. I was just impressed when I looked up the JAL one that it was both fixable and is still flying today.

NASA's DC-8 has a CFM56 conversion - same engines as the 737 and many A320s. They normally use it for atmospheric research, but they are taking emissions samples over large cities lately as part of the NOAA AEROMMA program: https://csl.noaa.gov/projects/aeromma/ https://csl.noaa.gov/projects/aeromma/platforms.html

Lego has some genuinely neat stuff. A friend of mine just had a milestone bday and I gave her a Lego set of the Birds of Paradise plant and a kiddo card that doubled as a coloring book She sent me a few photos of the finished kit and it's pretty cool and looks great on her desk next to her lego Bonsai.

"lego flower arrangements debut to runaway success" is the kind of acid-brained nonsense that would have made for hilarious predictions of the future in Bloom County/Outland in 1985. instead thats just the straight-faced actual world being fed to us like we're supposed to take it seriously
