On Airbii, the last two digits indicate engine manufacturer, and engine version, respectively, i.e. '42' from A340-642 indicates the engine is from Rol...

RE: Airbus A380 Only Has Two Thrust Reversers?

Isn't the A380 fitted with runway overrun warning/protection that will alert the pilots if a runway is too short (either wet or dry)?

RE: Official 2010 Fifa World Cup Thread #6

I'm speechless. You could not write a script like that. To be honest, both teams deserved to go through judging by the way they played. Its also heartwarming to see smaller and/or trophy-less teams like Uruguay, Paraguay, Ghana, and even the Netherlands in the knockout stages as opposed to teams who...

Ghana quickly showed the will to win, while the US didn't until the 2nd half. Ghana's early pressure forced a hole in the defense which they took full advantage of. Too much open space for Ghana to use! Making subs early on showed mistakes in the lineup and it wasn't until the 50th minute that US be...
