The PBY Catalinas were/are such beautiful planes, much like Lockheed Constellations. I know they belong to a bygone era, but I wish some company would undertake production of (new) Catalinas with composite skin (to reduce weight and lessen corrosion) and modern engines.
Not quite. C-130’s fly just fine on 3 engines. Making a turn back to the airport with one inoperative is nowhere near impossible. Making a turn back when the airplane is full of fuel and overloaded with passengers, well, that’s entirely different. I have no idea if the airplane was overloaded in this case, but with…
I almost guarantee you that this is the plot-

The aircraft is designed with a lift fan, to produce extra lift whilst the aircraft moves forward. A structure that helps channel oncoming air into the lift fan is very helpful. Rearranging that structure so that it pushes the air upwards instead would be less helpful.
It’s my understanding that this was the first military aircraft to ever be delayed in development.
Oh come the fuck on, Attack of the Clones is the worst Star Wars movie.
You can’t spiral the launch and recovery systems into the next ship of the class. The ship doesn’t work with steam catapults - EMALS and AAG either work or you go back to building Nimitz-class carriers. Calling them low-reward technologies is ridiculous, it’s like calling sensor fusion a low-reward technology for the…
He burned down all their tents, stole their food, and converted all their sellswords (who stole all their horses). Who do you think was in that army that wiped out Stannis?
I assume she’d just break into:
“B-25 Marauder”
They were too busy dodging old people in Crown Vics and Town Cars who can’t figure out what a lane is or what side of the road to be on.
I guess they’re banking on not having to tackle keyboard and mouse units.
