Boeing 737 MAX Gets New Orders

-
Image
Boeing easily beat rival Airbus in orders for new planes last month, but Chicago-based Boeing trailed its European rival in delivering planes to airline customers. Boeing said that it took orders for 31 planes in July while 17 others were canceled, resulting in a net gain of 14. That compared with two orders for Airbus. It was Boeing’s sixth straight month of positive net orders after seeing cancellations exceed orders for most of 2020. Boeing has reported 270 net orders so far in 2021. Brazil’s Gol ordered nine 737 Max jets last month and Dallas-based Southwest Airlines ordered six. Boeing delivered 28 planes in July, including nine 737 Max jets sent to Irish airline Ryanair. That fell short of Airbus, which delivered 47 planes last month. For the year, Boeing has delivered 184 planes, more than all of 2020. This despite the halt in shipping its 787 jet because of production flaws in the fuselage and nose. Last month, the company said it will cut production of 787s. Deliveries are cri...

The Story of The Northrop YB- 49 Flying Wing

-
Image
Concept from 1930s  The Flying Wing was the brainchild of Jack Northrop, who started work on the concept in the 1930s. Jack Northrop also desigened the wings on the Douglas DC2 and DC3's and had also a scaled down wing flying in the early 1940's. That model is on display and flying at the Planes of  Fame Museum in Chino California. Back then Northrop advocated "The Wing" as a means of reducing drag and structural weight. The Story of The Northrop YB- 49 Flying Wing It may be hard to believe today, but the original Northrop Flying Wing's innovative design was often used against it by detractors from competing aircraft companies ("An airplane that doesn't have a tail") Because of this Northrop Aircraft produced this information film to extol the Wings virtues and answer her critics. The result is a film that gives a compelling overview of the principles of advantages of the Wing design, delivered by Northrop's Director of Enginee...

[Caught On Video] Meteorite Hurtles Past Norwegian Skydiver

-
Image
One summer day in 2012, Anders Helstrup and several other members of the Oslo Parachute Club jumped from a small plane that had taken off from Østre Æra Airport in Hedmark. Anders was wearing his wingsuit with two GoPro HERO3 cameras fixed to his helmet. After he had released his parachute something never before caught on camera happened. On the way down he realised something strange was happening. Meteorite Hurtles Past Norwegian Skydiver GoPro Hero “I got the feeling that there was something, but I didn’t register what was happening,” After landing Anders looked at the film from the two GoPro HERO3 cameras from the jump, which then clearly showed that something did happen. Something that looks like a stone hurtles past Anders, missing him by only a few metres. “When we stopped the GoPro film, we could clearly see something that looked like a stone. At first it crossed my mind that it had been packed into a parachute, but it’s simply too big for that.” Search fo...

Amazing European Air Traffic Simulation in 24 Hour Period This is an amazing data visualization that was created from real flight data taken from a day in July 2013. It highlights the intensity of the air traffic operation in Europe. An operation which runs 24x7 and 365 days a year. NATS and the UK are at the heart of the operation. The video simulation show Heathrow as the busiest international airport in Europe, and Gatwick as the busiest single runway airport in the word, we play a key role in ensuring air traffic under our control in European airspace is as safe and efficient as it can be.

✈ New Mustang Logo And The SR-71 Blackbird ✈

Image
Hello everyone. I put together a new header for the site and I hope you all will like it. I'll show it to you all here also in this post. I'm sure you all can see what type of airplane this is, even if it's mostly in blueprint form with added colors and value. It's the P-51 Mustang, and it's one of my favorite military airplanes, that and the Spitfire. Sure I have a few more favorite aircraft too. Like the Blackbird. I don't even want to think about how much airplane insurance cost is for one of these though. Anyhow earlier today (Wednesday February 6, 2013) before the M8.0 Santa Cruz Islands Earthquake and following Tsunami I was browsing some pictures of the SR-71 Blackbird aircraft, these pictures where taken by Nasa and of the research plane they were using back in California in the 90's. There really is something special to that long sleek body, not talking about all that Titanium.. This is an interesting video documentary about the SR-71 Blackb...
