Question: I want to become a pilot but I'm scared of thunderstorms, tips? Posted: 24 Dec 2015 01:21 AM PST Most of flying of airplanes is avoiding thunderstorms (looking on weather radar) - My personal policy was to avoid thunderstorm clouds by some 25+ nautical miles distance - I flew about 56 years of my flying life (military and airlines) with a total of 26,500 hours - The airplanes I flew with got hit something like 12, maybe 15 or 20 lightning strikes...? Everyday, there are various airliners hit 100, maybe 200 or 300 times by lightning, worldwide - |
Question: What's the purpose of an aircraft's horizontal stabilizers? Posted: 23 Dec 2015 09:31 PM PST planes move in 3 dimensions. to control this movement, a plane needs to be able to move up and down and turn. to move up and down, horizontal stabilizers along with elevators provide an airplane with the stability and control it needs to be able to point up or down. this lets the plane climb or descend as required. |

Question: What's your favourite aircraft? Posted: 23 Dec 2015 05:52 PM PST My favorite airplane is the YF-23. it was a concept that competed with the F-22 as an advanced tactical fighter (ATF) to replace the legendary F-15. many experts agree that the YF-23 was stealthier, faster and overall more capable than the F-22 but through its exorbitant costs and lack of a well defined jobs program that Lockheed Martin had with the F-22, the US Air Force decided to go with the F-22 for the contract of the next generation air superiority fighter. the YF-23 looks amazing with quite an odd control surface and engine placement configuration. the YF-23 is a really cool plane that never got to see much action other than 2 test models that were built for showing off to the air force. it looks like no other plane while bringing technology and ideas learnt through the B-2 Stealth Bomber program and other planes. I would have loved seeing the YF-23 in action just because of how futuristic it looks. with the way planes are going being more and more automated, there is a chance that there may not be another air superiority fighter to continue the F-22. I also really like the B1-B Lancer. the idea of a swept wing, supersonic bomber designed to fly very fast at low levels to avoid detection is awesome. |
