Trump isn’t entirely clueless. An Erickson S-64 would have been perfect given the proximity to the Seine for a dip-and-drop. And to all you guys that think the entire tank is summarily dumped on the fire (a “salvo” dump), the tank dump rates are computer controlled up to 8 levels. IIRC, they also can use a water canon.
Boy, it’s obvious you guys aren’t pilots. The trim system on the 737 is an oddity today since it retains MANUAL trim wheels that blatantly spin whenever commanded trim is in motion. You can grab the spinning wheel and override the rather limited trim motor. At the same time, you reach for the trim disconnect…
I recommend Tesla merge with Harley Davidson, thereby creating a harmonic convergence of irrational hate causing everybody’s head to explode.
Throttle response is superior for NA. None of that “rubber-band” effect, even in the best boosted engines.
Last of a kind, unfortunately,
With a six-speed stick, too?
Isn’t BMW really forced into building the V-12, since it’s the sole engine for Rolls Royce?
In beautiful El Segundo?
Stock pipes on my 2014 V-Rod:
The V-Rod lasted 15 years in various incarnations. Not a bad run for the “Thinking Man’s Harley”.
“Stole engines”. How so?
First off, the accident investigation board in the U.S. is the NTSB, not the FAA. Second, there is no “default” finding. Recent accidents have involved a number of mechanical failures here in the U.S. that doomed the aircraft, including bird strikes and trim failures. These AIB do not go into an investigation with any…
The 737 series has manual trim wheels mounted to the pedestal that visibly spin when motorized trim is commanded. Coaxial to these wheels is a present position of trim indicator. Trim in motion can be stopped by depressing a yoke-mounted trim switch, grabbing the wheels and overpowering the trim servo clutch, or…
With the heft he’s attained on YouTube, you’d think he’d branch out a bit and conduct an interview or two with some particular car’s designer or lead engineer explaining some previously unknown insider information or insights. Similar to Chris Harris’s drive of the 962 and interview with Norbert Singer except maybe…
While we’re at it, what’s with the spray-lacquer those sleazeball buy here-pay here used car lots spew all over the engine bay to make it look “new”? Check out the hoses and plastic ductwork. Something fishy here.
You know we’re approaching The End Times when brake rotor rust is an issue.
Sorry, don’t buy the “what’s going on?” argument. The 737 has two manual trim wheels (striped in fact) showing any trim in motion. Hitting the yoke mounted trim switch overrides MCAS trim commands and keeps it disabled for 10 seconds after the buttons are released. It will then reengage and attempt to retrim on its…
