I'm thinking the engine Nearest us in the picture looks to have a different size cowl. Its a bit longer. EDIT: maybe "thicker" would be the correct term not necessarily longer. The cowling around the nozzle is bigger than the inboard; ANOTHER EDIT: looking at other pictures this is common....
Jump to postWhat is the largest prop T-tail built? Or top 3-5 variants in size rank like someone listed above. Pretty sure the A400M is the largest prop with T-tail. ATR-72 second? The Q400 is larger than the ATR I believe. Tail is like 2 feet higher, and the MTOW is higher, not mention its a longer airplane. ...
Jump to postI'd wager a strong amount what you're actually hearing is the spoilers being deployed. Airbus spoiler noise is very noticeable on the ground once you recognize the sound. The sound would be especially prevalant if you happen to live under a fix that requires the pilots to slow or descend. Looking a...
Jump to postIt would be interesting to see the percentages if we included only the useful space gained. For example, Although the A321 is 41% longer than the A318 OVERALL, the A321 can hold almost 60% more people. I guess what Im getting at it, in terms of percentage, how many more fuselage sections/frames/etc....
Jump to postWhoever came up with this idea has no concept of the physics. Taking off or landing in a bank would increase the stall speed and effective weight vector. While a high banked track works well for high traction four wheeled vehicles designed with negative lift, all of the advantages are lost for an a...

Jump to postMy fathers days at America West, US Air, & now American are full of celebrities on flights/in the airport. Can't say he has ever had anything bad to say about anyone that I can remember.

Jump to postNothing against <acronym title="Southwest Airlines (USA)">WN</acronym>, but I've seen them do some impressive things with a 737. From close-in side-steps to S- turns, taxxiing at 40 MPH, and even a slip. The former three are not uncommon, however, a big jet should probably never be seen in a forward...
Jump to postJust got word of an Emergency Landing in Philly, pops says it was an A330. From the sounds of it, "un-eventful". Its been less than ten minutes, and all the Fire trucks are already leaving the aircraft. So probably nothing too exciting! Anyways just thought I'd bring light to the situation. I'll pos...

Jump to postThe A321 is a great aircraft. It may be a bit disproportional in stature, but i think part of the reason it is so successful right now is that concept of fleet commonality. US Airways is the largest A321 operator in the world (not to mention largest Airbus operator) but they got their start with the...
Jump to postThe second video shows the delay still. The Spoilers come up on the video a few seconds after the touchdown is heard. With regard to the first video, he probably touched down within the first 500-1000 feet of the runway which is pretty short, but the delay makes it seem worse.
