Hi!
If you plan to get the NLS A380, I am pretty sure that on youtube you won’t find tutorials about it.
I found on the NLS forum, a book on Amazon.co.uk called Flying the Airbus A380 .
This could be a good tutorial for us future beginners with the A380.
Thanks for reading!
Hi!
Many of you know about the Wii… well forget about it, because what you are about to see is something we’ve all dreamt of doing .
We can drive practically. Now do you have Star wars for the Wii? Well forget about it; because what you are about to see is something alien!
This will deliver a new wave of home entertainment, something extraordinary!
Here is the trailer.
The release date is November 4 2010, you can pre-order it on amazon.com.
Thanks for reading!
( Sequel ) The competition between Boeing, America, and Europe keeps on going. Boeing has always outsmarted Europe: De Havilland Comet vs 707, Hawker Siddeley Trident vs 727 and Concorde vs 747.
But now the band in Toulouse, Airbus, is about to hurt boeing: the airbus A380.
As we know the Airbus is in competition with Boeing: 737 vs a318-a319-a320-a321, 757-767-777 vs A330-a340. But in 2003 Airbus Overtook the boys in Seattle and became the leading Jet producer in the world.
Now back to the A380: this will be the biggest civilian aircraft in the world, it is the only full length double decker passenger jet. In detail just to tell you how big it is, it’s 14 inches wider than the 747-400. You might think that with a full length double decker you will want to put more passengers as possible, in part your wrong: the designers have decided that with all of that space, you can fit beds, bars and hole other bunch of stuff and they only plan to put 35% more passenger than the 747-400.
It’s wings are 80 meters wide and are the length of two tennis courts. And of course it will need the biggest engines ever built: the Trent 900, it’s bigger than the fuselage of a 757 and has the biggest front fan in the world, it’s bypass ratio is of 9 to 1. Saving weight is another objective to reach, so Airbus decided to use Carbon Fiber Composites.
But what’s Boeing going to do as a response to airbus? I’ll tell you what: the Boeing 747-8 and the 787 ( 7E7 ). What we’re interested in though is the 787.
As said before Airbus is using CFC like i like to call it ( Carbon Fiber Composites ), but Boeing has decided to out do them: the 7E7 will be the first to comprise more than 50% composites, the first to have composite wings and fuselage, besides increasing fuel efficiency, composites are allowing cabin designer Klaus Brauer to design a revolutionary cabin design.
So which will prevail? Only time will tell…
Thanks for have read and hope I sort of was of help!
Thanks again!
( sequel ) The Americans seemed unbeatable, they had beaten the English in every ” battle ” : English Built De Havilland comet, but then defeat by Boeing with their 707; the English built the Hawker Siddeley Trident, but then just like with the De Havilland Comet… the Boeing Corporation built their 727.
The English government , tired of all these defeats , made an agreement with their neighbors : the French Government: this agreement would be known as the Concorde Agreement.
But Boeing had their own ideas, their mentality was this: The English and French government had got everything wrong, they said that airliners didn’t want aircrafts that could fly at a supersonic speed with less passengers, but what they wanted was an aircraft that could take twice ( even more ) people.
So here is the battle field in small words: twice as big vs twice as fast.
But the Boeing’s theory nearly led them to total bankruptcy. The future aircraft was named: Boeing 747, and during it’s development, they went nearly 460 milion of dollars in debt, it was a huge gamble for everyone in Boeing.
But 5500 Km away, in Europe with the unlimited amount of money at the disposal of the developers, cash wasn’t obviously a problem, but to figure out a way to make their supersonic aircraft, Concorde, fly was: even if you have very powerful engines, what kept an aircraft in the air was a problem for them: the wings!.
To find a solution, the developers turned to the military: they already flew at supersonic speed, and in the end the finders found out that the military’s aircraft used streamlined wafer thin wings; but could this solution suit a civilian supersonic aircraft?
In part no, but in part yes:
Pros: this wing performed beautifully at mach 2.0 speeds
Cons: it had lousy lift characteristics at slow speeds.
So how did they figure it out? The answer was in the wind tunnel: after 5000 hours of testing, developers crafted a carefully curved and drooping wing, which caused the air to rapidly spiral across the top of the wing; these vortices caused the magical reduction of pressure on the top of the wing, at slow speeds an at high angle of attack, this reduction was needed to bring Concorde up in the air.
Now that one problem was solved, around the corner lied another one: the power plants to power up the aircraft. But in order to receive supersonic thrust out the back, the engine wanted a sub-sonic airflow. Unfortunately if the engine receives air which cannot support, supersonic airflows, it will have the equivalent of engine indigestion: it’s called surge and it can destroy an engine in seconds!
To solve the problem, aerodynamicists came up with a so-called supersonic cap-flap: when the aircraft started to go supersonic and received quantities of air it couldn’t cope with, down came the cap, better said as a ramp, so down came the ramp; this ramp also did part of the engines’ job: when the air bashed in to the ramp it became compressed air, so they managed to extract more efficiency out of an already efficient engine.
After 14 years of planning, in 1969 the Concorde’s first flight was a landmark: France and Britain achieved the unachievable: they had actually brought a supersonic aircraft in civil aviation!
While the Europeans were enjoying their Supersonic ” puppy ” ( 
) over in Seattle, Boeing decided that it was time to build the monstrous 747. This was going to be the worlds’ biggest aircraft, and in order to build it, they needed the biggest building in the world!
The Boeing’s 747 would’ve needed nearly 55000 workers, over 75000 engineering and over six million individual parts; it was a logistical nightmare! And ironically Boeing expected to have it flying in only 3 years!
At the unveiling people expected big, but that was a complete colossus! It weighed nearly 200 tons, without counting fuel and passengers. Seen the weight du-mongers thought pilots couldn’t keep the aircraft in the air. The first pilot to fly the 747 was Jack Waddell, and the first to discover if Joe Sutter and his team had got his sums right. In February 1969 just two months behind schedule, Jack Waddell was the first to fly the 747.
The Jumbo carries the world record for the most people ever carried on one flight : 1200, on the flight from Addis-Ababa to Tel-Aviv.
When pressurized the jumbo carries nearly one ton of air in it, and you could fit nearly five Concorde Fuselages inside the 747’s fuselage!
By the time Concorde was ready to fly though, the world had changed: increases in oil prices meant that the only profitable way to run an airline was by getting more passengers…here is were the 747 had a big advantage. In 1973, more than 50 orders of the aircraft from 16 airlines were cancelled: the plane created by politicians would only fly for the state owned airlines of the two nations: Air France and British Airways. But tickets would sell at First Class prices plus another 20% on top and became the exclusive airplane for the rich and famous.
For 34 years Concorde was the fastest plane ever, but in 2003 economics bashed it to death:it would consume 30 tons per hour at take-off thrust and let’s not forget that there where four of them!
Score 2-1 for Boeing… no one had made it till then but… in part five will see that the colossus from Seattle can and will be beaten!
