He is into his Jump / Slopestyle bikes as well - Brett Rheeder should be worried.

There are some ridiculous RC model builders on YT - turbine powered 787's and the like, lot Germans and Swiss it seems.

The other ground breaking tech on aircraft was the materials science: titanium alloy, 85% of the aircraft and the other 15% of the aircraft was made from polymer composite material as you mention, the days long before carbon fibre, https://tmstitanium.com/the-lockheed-sr-71-blackbird/

And the troop carrier and attack, brings this scene to mind

I just can't muster any sympathetic tendencies at all for the Cavenator. He has done really well in his career in the past, unbeatable at times, and now no doubt quite wealthy as well, beautiful wife & children. Spare us the existential public ordeal and move on man....

"modified" sine wave inverters are simply cheaper to make Problem is really the harmonics which inductive loads wont like from https://www.samlexamerica.com/support/faqs/faq02.aspx Some examples of devices that may not work properly with modified sine wave and may also get damaged are given below: Laser printers, photocopiers, magneto-optical hard drivesThe built-in clocks in devices such as clock radios, alarm clocks, coffee makers, bread-makers, VCR, microwave ovens etc may not keep time correctlyOutput voltage control devices like dimmers, ceiling fan / motor speed control may not work properly (dimming / speed control may not function)Sewing machines with speed / microprocessor controlTransformer-less capacitive input powered devices like (i) Razors, flashlights, night-lights, smoke detectors etc (ii) Re-chargers for battery packs used in hand power tools. These may get damaged. Please check with the manufacturer of these types of devices for suitabilityDevices that use radio frequency signals carried by the AC distribution wiringSome new furnaces with microprocessor control / Oil burner primary controlsHigh intensity discharge (HID) lamps like Metal Halide lamps. These may get damaged. Please check with the manufacturer of these types of devices for suitabilitySome fluorescent lamps / light fixtures that have power factor correction capacitors. The inverter may shut down indicating overload

Its big with the new skool CNC and 3D printing bunch

Marcel was a legend back in the day of "the struggle"

I haven't read that link yet, but on that third pilot on Lion Air flight: it was the previous flight on the same aircraft with the same problem, that guy just happened to be sitting in the jump seat and had the presence of mind to tell them to flick the auto trim switches off when all else failed, but that is so clearly indicated in the electric trim runaway procedures, so we must really ask what level of training is taking place? In my opinion part of the problem is over-automation, what with auto speed and auto pilot, pilots actually do a minimum of actual manual flying and there is belief the computer will fly the plane

it was the early days of such Lithium Ion batteries in aviation and the solution was to work around the issue, they did not drill down to the root cause of the overheating because as far as I know, to this very day, its not fully understood why that happens, What they do is just to avoid such conditions, contain the problem. You have probably read about Tesla's spontaneously combusting for no apparent reason, same thing really - the great unknown!

Yes it is yet to be seen how liability for negligence will be proven, however in both accidents it has been shown that both situations were recoverable although all the details and final reports have not been published. Certainly with Ethiopian the high speed due to no speed control was one of the fatal factors. But that Boeing CEO gives me the creeps: seriously slippy character.

I don't think the techies or coders can be blamed - this is a systems architectural design issue, and I think complacency is the root cause.

Although the manual does state there is a system that might trim the nose down, they should have been more explicit, we will see how much they have to pay for their negligence although I think having that system depend of only one sensor is bigger mistake, also not hacing enough visual indications as to what is going on, ffs its so easy with glass cockpits.

And this ... . "Goei more Alaska" ...on a Wednesday night Engels op Radio 2000

They don't call 'em heavies for nothing ... wake turbulence,

but there was much more space, compared to the chicken coup

When Luxavia was flying ex-SAA SP's one could upgrade to upstairs for an extra R50 ... although that was insiders knowledge

Its probably because they can't pay - who does their maintenance / engine overhauls?

747 more a legend, but both going the way of the dodo. I haven't flown in the 380 but I can imagine its quite smooth because of its bulk. In terms of flying, Boeing and Airbus have different approaches: think I like the Yoke better than a Joystick.

There's an episode of on one of disaster series on that that I think needs a revisit.

That was over the ring of fire - since then care has been taken to avoid volcanic ash clouds, which can be major events, like engulf the whole earth and cause decades of winter everywhere. I don't think they show up on weather radar.

Vincenzo is looking lean and mean.

Really still the safest way to travel, by far, Isn't it normally the lacky FO who does the preflight on these commercials? That is something that is drilled into you from Day1 when learning to fly.

Talking about freezing fuel / water freezing in fuel .. was it a BA 767 that lost power on both engines on finals to Heathrow and just about made it with a hard landing? miracle that was. I've seen fuel being dumped from those outlets on the wings, it seems to be atomised in the wake turbulence.

Well spotted! Looking the replay on FR, it seems not to have climbed much higher than 10000ft after take off even while still heading NW en route (334 deg) before turning back over Harties. I don't know what the point of those three steep turn circles were over Suikerbosrand, thats generally the area of the approach/ long finals into FAJS not quite a holding pattern area. How much fuel can you burn in 10 mins? then track east before another tight turn before getting back on to finals, just about over Rand 7600ft, just over 2400 ft AGL Weird. Perhaps a technical? flaps, gear,
