Scarlet manages to squeeze 18 by using HDR, not in a single true frame. This can yield artifacting. Regardless, we haven't seen any footage from Scarlet yet.

Super35 sized sensor. And I had thought it was the ASIC rejects from the Epic, not the sensors.

However, it RECORDS in 1080p. #corrections

Isn't this just vacuum forming?

Amazing how quickly people can be tracked down if they laser the wrong aircraft...

Has nothing to do with them being sucked out. If the door can't be used in an evacuation, then people cannot be seated close to it. The rows were cordoned off since those seats were no longer in compliance with evacuation regulations, as they weren't within proximity to a properly functioning door.

If the tape comes off during flight, then you may have to replace the sealant since it hasn't cured properly. You might hear wind whistling in the cockpit, or worst-case a small pressurization leak. Yes, they'll return to the airport to attempt another repair, but it's far from an "OMG WE'RE GOING DOWN!!!" situation.

I get a little worked up over aviation scare stories, sorry!

No, it doesn't. And that's the POINT of the tape. "If you must dispatch the airplane" means "If you must fly the airplane". The tape is in place to be used to protect the sealant in flight. Why do you hope otherwise?

Odin, the TAPE came loose. Not the window: "A RYANAIR plane with 200 passengers on board had to turn back after tape used to patch up a pilot's window came loose...the pilot aborted the flight after 20 minutes when the tape started to become loose and made disturbing noises"

Sorry to reply to myself, but I found a little more info. Here's the Boeing Airplane Maintenance Manual, Window section, for a 757. I know the plane above is a 737 but I couldn't find that as quickly. ftp://ftp.anextour.com/mg-air/documents/AMM/757_FIN_AMM_D633N155_TD/PDF/56___098.PDF

The tape doesn't hold anything in place, structurally. The window is securely bolted into place. All the tape does is cover the sealant to protect it while it cures. If the sealant were to fail, there would be a loud whistling in the cockpit and a slow pressurization leak. There wouldn't be a catastrophic failure.

As so many people have pointed out, it's speed tape, not duct or gaffer tape. What hasn't been pointed is that the tape is not there to secure the new window seal, as the Giz author mentions. Rather, the tape is in place to protect the new sealant applied around the windscreen. The sealant must cure for several hours…

That's fair. It is amazing how up in arms people can get about someone reclining their seat in front of them (case in point [consumerist.com] ). It's so absurd that there are companies that make products to BLOCK the seat in front of you from reclining (Knee Defender).

If you have an AMEX Platinum card, you get access to 3 airline alliances' lounges included with the annual fee. Nice perk. I use this with Delta all the time.

So I shelled out the cash for this app, and it's pretty bad. Save your money. Not sure how much the author flies, but this app doesn't stack up well against any of the web based tools. Here's the review I left in the iTunes store:

I've never understood how people feel they're entitled to have the person in front of them not recline their seat. If I've paid for a seat that reclines, I expect to be able to use that feature. I fully accept that someone in front of me might recline. If I couldn't deal with that, I'd try to choose the bulkhead row.

Wouldn't you like to know if:

Whose data does this use? SeatGuru.com and SeatExpert.com have been the leaders of the pack for web-based seat info, so I'm curious whose info they're pulling from.

Where's the rest of the article, and the source link?
