You propose matching the A220 to A320, and then proceed to explain that almost every other model by Airbus doesn't fit the A320 naming convention.
I think you may have the proposal backwards.
I have heard this before but it doesn't make sense. A "disc" of sideways-moving air radiating from the engine is not still attached to the engine - so the air itself if moving sideways isn't acting as a brake. Is is, the air is rough and turbulent and thus adds more parasitic drag to othe...
Jump to post1. Most of the thrust comes from fan flow, not from core flow. So hot flow doesn't make true difference 2. Someone here mentioned that trust redirection is not the main process. Airflow around the plane is disturbed due to redirected air, and drag increases significantly. As far as I understand, th...
Jump to postReading this thread just made me realize: it would be relatively easy to set up some directional software-defined radios and begin triangulating offending aircraft. There are already thousands of hobbyist ADS-B monitors feeding data to FlightAware, ADSB Exchange, etc. I bet a few hundred of those wo...

Jump to postThe folks in India did their best but until they were set up properly, nothing could be fixed and nobody in the USA was around to help since they were all laid off.

Jump to postNo progress yet on D. But it is much needed. AMEX announced they are building a Centurion lounge in E. It will be the largest lounge @ ATL, and also the largest Centurion globally. Supposedly 3 outdoor decks. In other news, I know AF is going to 17 weekly this summer, so it should be possible to se...
Jump to postNo - but it’s an example of an overly optimistic project that won’t live up to expectations at launch. The same goes for the emphasis on Delta One, and more specifically the Delta One Suites which are not installed on the overwhelming majority of Delta’s long haul and transcon aircraft. It’s an exa...

Is there a link to more description of the mods that 767-300ERs are getting? I avoid those right now when I can for Delta One... but are they getting anything close to like what the 764s have?
Dumb question, but how does a bullet puncture the fuselage from above ? Does the flight path have any mountains near by? What goes up, usually comes back down. It will only be falling like a rock on the way down, far too slow to puncture the aircraft and leave “entry” wounds as seen in the photo On...

We all speculate here. But all I can say is one thing. May the 133 sounds on board Rest In Peace. If the video is true, I could not imagine a worse way to die.

The passengers that took the video were pretty definitive that it was taken on take-off from KHDN, It wouldve helped to solidify that claim had the video kept running.

Jump to postSad, I flew N867DA from JFK-TLV back in 2016. And then over a four-month period, it has barely flown more hours than a single JFK-TLV round-trip. Purely from an enthusiast standpoint, I'm sad to see it not fly much, but I'm happy it is flying at least.
