  1. "In 1957, a USAF DC-3 ran out of gas over Missouri. Everyone bailed out and made it to the ground safely. The DC-3 glided over the horizon and made a perfect, UNASSISTED LANDING IN A CORNFIELD!!!" What a great aircraft. Thanks Mentour, what a wonderful history of a wonderful airplane.

  2. The carbon fiber fuselage requires lighting mesh where as aluminum fuselage planes don't need to have lightening mesh wrapped around them. Boeing’s latest 777 version has an an aluminum alloy fuselage (aluminium-lithium) "which is cheaper than carbon fiber and better than previous aluminum alloys. As a result, Al-Li alloy-intensive aircraft have better fuel efficiency and LOWER MAINTENANCE COSTS!!!" -- see: AI, Aluminium Insider, May 3, 2022. Aluminium-Lithium Alloys Fight Back. It may be carbon fiber airline fuselages are not the future for airliners.

  3. In the 1980's I saw the Spruce Goose in Long Beach, Ca, it was impressive. Hughes wood technology ideas would eventually succeed with companies like Trus Joist who manufacture wood "I" floor joists and other products. Hughes was interesting, an oil man, aviator, movie director, aircraft designer, manufacturer and more than this.

  4. Well said, when we stop innovating we begin to die. -- The CEO William M. Allen during the 747 development was heroic, visionary, and made the great Boeing Company even greater, but McNerney's cowardly thinking leadership had no guts, no glory and helped ruin Boeing's innovative culture. -- It's two ways of thinking: Bill Allen's thinking was the world is an expanding pie and we grow. But, James McNerney's thinking was the world is a finite pie, and we must fight for our piece of the pie. -- James McNerney's thinking is and was toxic to growth.

  5. Qatar is right! Paint is essential for most things man made things, paint protects that which is painted and it's not just cosmetic, the A350's could not fly without paint! Airbus and European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) are wrong, the exposed lighting mesh and carbon fiber of the A-350 wouldl not stand up the elements without paint. -- Qatar Airlines should sue Airbus for the crappy paint that will not last the life of the plane, this is a big deal, when considering many aircraft flying are decades old, this includes the 70+ year old DC-3's from WW2.

  6. ​ @richyrichk  ~ Rigorous aeronautical engineering consider metal fatigue over the life of the plane. There are DC-3's flying that are 80 years old, the B-52 is over 70 years old.

  7. I agree, if H-1 Hercules had been made of Aluminum, that would have changed history. Post war transport and passenger planes would used the knowledge gained from the Hercules to build the new post war aircraft, it also "utilized a pioneering hydraulic flight control system due to its immense size, which made conventional mechanical controls impractical".

  8. I think that is a good analysis, Boeing should proceed carefully, workers and engineers should be accountable for their all work, if there planes are no good they none of them will have jobs in the near future.

  9. 100% Mentour on target. ~ In today's world the creditors own the governments and corporations world wide. "The rich rules over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender." All governments and corporations are a debt slaves to it's lenders. It's based on credit fiat money. ~ If we used real money, gold and silver again we have a less centralized and more localized economies. An honest hard working people would and could create a prosperous local economies.

  10. The CO2 gas in the atmosphere comes from the oceans and volcanoes, man's CO2 contribution is very small. The science of C1im@te Ch@nge is not science at all, it's a religion.

  11. Thrust link cracks, sounds potentially very catastrophic if it failed. This does not help restore my confidence in Boeing Corp. It seems like a critical part of airliner that should have been rigorously engineered, evaluated and tested, how could Boeing get it wrong?

  12. May I suggest the g0v. poke in the arm m@nd@tes, has caused injuries and may impair pilot and ATC performance!

  14. When the carbon fiber fuselage and lighting mesh is exposed to the elements that is a serious problem! -- Aluminum fuselage planes don't need to have lightening mesh wrapped around them. Boeing’s latest 777 version will have an aluminum alloy fuselage (aluminium-lithium) "which is cheaper than carbon fiber and better than previous aluminum alloys. As a result, Al-Li alloy-intensive aircraft have better fuel efficiency and LOWER MAINTENANCE COSTS!!!" -- see: AI, Aluminium Insider, May 3, 2022. Aluminium-Lithium Alloys Fight Back.

  15. Aircraft, cars, trucks, ships, power plants, and etc. are regulated by government policies that come from the belief in climate science that proves carbon dioxide is a dangerous greenhouse gas. This is unproven science theory. Carbon dioxide is the gas of life and without and no life exists. The powers that should not be are above the our incorporated governments and corporations, because they all governments and corporation operate on credit, "And the borrower is servant to the lender" therefore ir governments and corporations serve their creditors they do not serve the people they are supposed to represent. We should be governed by Empirical Science truth that is tested repeatedly and proven to be true, all real science is proven true. Government "science" says we came from a big bang, evolution and gravity, this is all theory, speculation and metaphysics, and none of this is empirical science, if it's not true and it's not science. This why Νεt-0 government science is not science. Airplanes would be designed and built faster and more sturdy if manufacturers were not governed by Νεt-0 policies.
