CAN I get Tom Scott to LAND a B737MAX, ALONE?!

newtboy says...

In the next simulation the door plug needs to self eject and the front landing gear needs to fall off like has happened to 737s this month.
Boeing is screwed. They designed their inspection system so they can remove the door plug, do required repair work, and reinstall it but call that “opening the door” so there’s not an inspection afterwards, which happened on the plane that lost its door.
Worse, if the photos Boeing gave the press are correct, they are using jam nuts (two thin nuts that loosely “jam” together under pressure only if properly installed) instead of castle nuts and cotter pins (that cannot unscrew) on bolts that will fall out if they’re not secured. That is a horrible design flaw if accurately reported, and explains all the loose bolts found on other planes!
American and Alaska are already talking to airbus and considering cancelling their orders from Boeing completely.

From the YT comment section:

"I once asked the pilot of a 737 as I was getting on, how often do these things crash?
He casually replied, usually just the once..."

Starting up a Boeing 737---Airplane Geek nirvana

Wasn't it a Korean crew that crashed a 737 at San Francisco? Maybe they need less StarCraft, more Flight Simulator.

That's genuinely funny. I was also thinking that a Korean StarCraft player might be able to complete the entire sequence, in, oh, I dunno, 12 seconds at thousands of APM? (assuming you didn't actually wait for the generators and engines to start etc etc etc)

Man Flies Like a Bird Flapping His Own Wings

You're all fake!


hehe

also check this out someone already did a flapping one man flier ..probably on sift

"Built from carbon fiber, foam, and balsa wood, the Snowbird weighs just 94 lbs. and has a wingspan of 105 feet, which is comparable to that of a Boeing 737–amazingly, the Snowbird weighs less than all of the pillows on board.

The wings’ thrust is due primarily to a low-pressure region around the leading edge, which integrates to provide a force known as “leading-edge suction”. The wings also passively twist in response to the flapping. This is due to a structure that is torsionally compliant in just the right amount to allow efficient thrusting (”aeroelastic tailoring”). It should be noted, though, that twisting is required only to prevent flow separation on sections along the wing. It does not produce thrust in the same way as required by sharp-edged wings with little leading-edge suction."
