Question:
...So that one day we can all fly cheaply, and with less guilt about pollution.
Answers:
Name of Pilot flying SQ816 on 29 Dec 2006?
Reminds me of an axiom taught to me by an engineering professor regarding the invention of new, advanced products:Maximum Flight Training hours acc. to F.A.A?
"Good, Fast, Cheap: pick any two."
How can i start my own airline?
We will never fly cheaply........... they will always find something new to charge us for. And by the time that cheap flight could be achieved, we will probably have a space time continium or teleporter thingy!What is the maximum speed allowed in class B airspace?
there fuel is a very clean burning fuel, reason being, is they add oxygen to the fuel to make it burn at 40,000 feet where there is very little oxygen. but fly cheaply, never, planes go up and sometimes they come down in the wrong way, there liability insurance is crazy especially when 200 people or more can die when they HIT the groundHave any airlines ordered the 747-800?
Fly cheap ?how much gas does an airplane use?
check all your screws , see if there are some loose ones
what jobs do aero engineers get?
1st of all we have to decide what we mean by emissions.It would be near impossible to reduce the NOx (Nitrous Oxide) emissions on a Gas turbine engine on an aircraft for the simple reason of how they work. NOx are formed above a certain temperature which gas turbine engines tend to run. To reduce these they'd have to reduce the temperature which basically would reduce efficiency and increase the amount of fuel required that would increase CO2
What instruments would indicate rudder movement?
Again to reduce CO2 would be difficult but it would be possible to transfer to a Bio fuel which would be considered to be Carbon neutral (i.e. doesn't add any additional carbon to the atmosphere)
Aftertreatment would be another idea but the size; cost of this would not be practical.
If you've been caught for a DUI, does that completely disqualify you from becoming a pilot?
My solution is to create / improve and reduce the tax on high speed rail travel. This would produce much lower emissions
What are the considerations for aircraft's colour scheme?
Aviation fuels are not oxygenated and there is NOT less oxygen at altitude. There is less pressure, but the ratio of oxygen is the same.Does Bernoulli's principle really explain airplane lift?
Below is some info copied from the National Alternative Fuels Laboratory:
Do you have to enlist to work as deck crew on a carrier?
Corn based fuels have been researched but the problem is that biofuels are not stable for long periods. Aviation fuels may sit in tanks for monthsor years before being burned. Especially among the general aviation fleet.
Does Anybody Know Where I could get boeing or Airbus flight manuals or checklists?
Aviation-Grade Ethanol - NAFL developed a draft ASTM International (ASTM) specification for the first-ever aviation-grade ethanol (AGE) and presented the specification for initial ASTM review. This response to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) request was developed in collaboration with members of the ASTM Ethanol Aviation Fuel Development Task Force and the University of North Dakota Odegard School of Aerospace Sciences. AGE is an ethanol-based alternative to lead-containing aviation gasoline. Members of the Ethanol Aviation Fuel Task Force include the FAA; major oil companies, including ConocoPhillips and ExxonMobil; ethanol producers, including Archer Daniels Midland and Aventine; aircraft manufacturers; and aviation industry groups.
PLEASE anyone!! Is there any model aviation shops in dubai and tehran? and where?
Utilizing Unrefined Seed Oil Feedstocks - NAFL developed and optimized an alternative biodiesel production process to enable the use of unrefined and/or high free-fatty-acid-content feedstocks that cannot be economically processed via traditional biodiesel production methods. This will translate to a significantly lower-cost biodiesel product.
How do you get official airport charts of foreign countries?
A research project with the U.S. Department of Defense and several other commercial partners is focusing on domestic production of military-grade JP-8 jet fuel from several varieties of vegetable oil. An innovative technology concept that uses catalytic conversion processing will eliminate the need for high-energy processing. The resulting JP-8 fuel will be tested rigorously as a strategic tactical military fuel that can surpass commercial specifications for quality and cost.
What is the speed of an large commercial airplane just before liftoff?
Soy methylester (SME) was blended into JP-8 at 2%, 10%, and 20% levels and evaluated for performance and emission impacts at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. Results were published in the June 2005 Journal of the Air & Waste Management Association. While emissions and performance showed improvement, a higher-quality biobased additive fuel is also being developed using thermal cracking of soybean and canola oil.
do you actually get paid if you fly for a virtual airline as a pilot?
I don't believe that cheaper or less pollutive are within the criteria the aircraft industry requires for their fuel. What they are looking for is maybe getting a little more bang for the buck. They want something that performs better. Something that will give the aircraft more thrust is definitely a bonus. When it comes to filling an aircraft with fuel there is nothing cheap about it. I don't know how many gallons or Litres a large commercial aircraft holds but I know that it isn't a small amount. An F18 with 3 external tanks attached holds more than 5000 Litres.Male pilots are so sexy, regardless of what they look like...don't you agree?
I think you find that advanced jet engine design will probably yeild better results than new fuels. One of engines design for the Boeing 787 Dreamliner is such an example. It uses advanced design to reduse both emissions and improve efficency.Diamond Aircraft has come out with a twin, the DA 42 Twinstar which utilizes twin diesel engines capable of running on either diesel or Jet A fuel. From what I understand, this is a very efficient aircraft. Also Honda has come out with an efficient turbine for use in it's new VLJ. They flew a hydrogen fuel cell powered unmanned plane a few years ago. Supposedly if storage and fuel production problems could be overcome, this would be a good alternative for aircraft.
What's the best military plane of all time?
The US Air Force is in the process of research into other fuel than fossil fuels.Does United's 747-400 have IFE on International Flights to Shanghai?
I understand that there is a great deal of research and development going into hydrogen fuel cell technology at the moment.Model Airplanes Navy F6F Fighter planes, where available?
At least there was when I left the aviation industry about a year ago.
There are always advances in technology "in the pipeline" but usually it takes a war or something similar for major changes to come to fruition.
In the early 60s there was a brief attempt at nuclear powered aircraft, but that fell by the wayside rather quickly.
Maybe Gene Roddenberry and HG Wells were leading the way.
What would happen to a passenger aircraft if it went faster?
Next time you look up in the sky and see a commercial jet, try to imagine how much fuel it is carrying, how much of the aircraft is fuel. and then consider that that thing will possibly be flying for 12 hours at 550 mph. Now I don`t think that is too bad.More Questions & Answers ...
