The Boeing 777X has folding wingtips to allow the aircraft to fit into the same airport gates and taxiways as existing 777 models. The folding wingtips give the 777X the ability to have a wingspan that is larger than that of the current 777 models, while still being able to operate at airports designed for […]

Consequences of attaching an unused extra engine under the wing?
Attaching an unused extra engine under the wing of a Boeing 747 would have significant consequences. The additional weight and aerodynamic changes could affect the aircraft’s balance, stability, and performance. It could lead to increased fuel consumption, reduced range, and potentially compromise the safety of the aircraft. Additionally, the structural integrity of the wing and […]
Why Are Planes’ Landing Gear Tilted?
The main reason why the landing gear of an airliner tilts is to make the aircraft more stable during takeoff and landing. The wheels on the landing gear are not parallel to the fuselage, but are set at an angle. This allows the aircraft to have a lower center of gravity and to be more […]
How safe is the Boeing 737 MAX series?
The B737 Max is probably the safest aircraft in recent history. It has a long production and usage for all its models and marques, and has been the subject of a re-certification which has been prolonged, intense, and extensive. Not only has there been a design review of the mechanical, electronics and computer systems, but […]
What happens if a door of the aircraft opens during flight?
If a door of an airplane opens during flight, it can be a dangerous situation. The sudden change in cabin pressure can cause the aircraft to lose altitude rapidly and can cause injury to passengers and crew. Additionally, the rush of wind and noise can make it difficult to hear or communicate with others. The […]
Fatal accident rate per million departures
Visit –https://hub.daddyssolutions.com/demo/debug1/blog/ for more interesting articles. All modern passenger airliners are incredibly safe as they have multiple redundancies and fail safes. Even the planes with the worst track records in history are somewhat safer than we think. Judging by the flight hours, neither aircraft has seen enough service to produce an accurate result for us to […]
What is the working method behind CAT III landing system?
Categories of Instrument Landing Systems (ILS) The ILS is categorized into three different categories: CAT I, CAT II, and CAT III. CAT III is further divided into three subcategories: CAT IIIa, CAT IIIb, and CAT IIIc. Each category has specific requirements and limitations regarding visibility and decision heights (DH). CAT IIIb and CAT IIIc allow […]
When 2 planes are about to collide, how does the TCAS decide which plane should climb, and which should descend?
The Traffic Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) uses a specific algorithm to determine which aircraft should climb and which should descend when two planes are on a collision course. The algorithm takes into account the relative positions, speeds, and altitudes of the two aircraft, as well as their projected flight paths. When two TCAS-equipped aircraft are […]
Should Boeing 737 Max be refitted with three angle of attack (AOA) sensors given the risk uncovered from recent accidents?
Visit –https://hub.daddyssolutions.com/demo/debug1/blog/ for more interesting articles. The issue of the Boeing 737 Max having only two angle of attack (AOA) sensors, instead of three, has been identified as a contributing factor in the two accidents that occurred in 2018 and 2019. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and other aviation regulators have mandated that all 737 Max […]
