If the FA's turned on all the ovens at once, would you see a measurable increase in N1 / N2? That is an interesting question, like engine RPM on cars as accessories are turned on (fog lights, head lights, power seats, power windows, etc). Thinking out loud, at a high power setting I'm not sure the ...
Jump to postFor reader reference, BGM / KBGM / Greater Binghamton Airport has two runways;
16/34, 7304 ft long, 150 ft wide
10/28, 5001 ft long, 150 ft wide
The article lacks full detail however I assume the closed runway is 16/34 and I assume Skywest Airlines operated CRJ200s for Delta Connection.
I'm happy homes were found for these jets. I find it fascinating Delta was able to sell 19 E190 at a unit cost greater than they recently purchased a 777-200ER. Either the E190 retains value well or there aren't many on the second hand market. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-12-17/why-d...

Jump to postIf the 800 has a new wing optimized for one engine per wing, how would it be suitable as a tanker. The refueling port pods on the A330 MRTT are placed where the 1 and 4 engines would go on an A340. An A330-800 wing would need extra reinforcement where refuelling pods go. This would negate the goal ...

Jump to postI wonder if we will see a Neo A330F... I imagine we will. It is assumed, in spite of poor relative sales, Airbus will continue development of the A330-800 as it is the logical base for future freighter and military multi role derivatives. That said, I wonder when a freighter derivative will be laun...

I wondered the same thing. But the Boeing 757 is certified to the same FAR Part 25 regulations whether it is operated for commercial use or for business (personal) use. The airplane certification basis, as viewed on the TCDS, is not connected to the operational basis (Part 91 or Part 121) as far as ...
Jump to postWhile reviewing photos of Donald Trump's 757 I noticed it's exits are not outlined.

US Airways 757s exits are clearly outl...
