In the grand scheme of things, $6billion is really not that much when you consider that the aircraft supply chains are forecast out on the order of decades. What Airbus gains today, they can easily lose tomorrow when Boeing unveils something more competitive (and vice versa).
That's what Value Added Taxes are for, but I bet they don't apply to such large investments like airplanes.
So when can I expect the ATS-V wagon with a manual transmission to hit my local dealer lot? Also, make AWD optional please. Thanks in advanced. Also, do the same thing with whatever CTS-V you have coming out. <3
Elmendorf actually has an "Elephant Cage" array, and I wish I still had an old picture of a sweet F-15E eclipsing the cage, which belongs to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/381st_Int…
It was always so mysterious to me when I drove past it. The rumor was that it communicated with submarines beneath the ocean at super low…
No one, cares?
Clickbait just kicked in, yo.
Bernie is such a fucking twat.
I have reason to believe that the program WILL shut down eventually. They lose money on each plane, and no business person (or shareholder) in their right mind would sustain an unprofitable product *hoping* for more orders. Airbus' A380 is not fairing as well as they hoped, and Boeing knows that the huge plane market…
I love your username.
I am slightly biased, but I think a revamped 757 would be a killer idea. A lot of the local manufacturing companies (mine included) still have 757 tooling lying around that will save some folks hundreds of thousands of dollars if they didn't have to tool up from scratch. Those savings aren't for suppliers; it is for…
The 747 line still occupies 2 out of the 6 doors of the plant. If you tear down those lines, there will be a TON of space for smaller planes.
If they need more maintenance people, all they have to do is stop recruiting non mission essential MOSs and give massive bonuses to maintenance related jobs to fill the positions quickly. The military does this all the time; it is not a matter of having enough people. If there is a need, HR will fill it.
Flutter comes from rapid changes in the fuselage's position/rotation (i.e. turbulence or quick maneuvering) that transfers elastic strain to the wings. If the frequency of the changes coincides with the resonant frequency of the wings, they will oscillate. The wings act like any spring-mass-damper kinetic body and…
Gives new meaning to, "WILL IT BABY?!"
Put in a rule about minimum SPL values.
So much copy pasta.
Hopefully they don't mean just a lighter weight flywheel than stock.
