Most Massive Cargo Plane in History (41 pics)

Posted in       19 Mar 2011       13832

You aren’t the only one surprised that this gargantuan airplane can take flight. Someone has to have faith in 80s Ukrainian engineering, considering this aircraft was built in the 1980s at the Antonov Development Lab. Known as “Mria” or “a dream” this huge flying building can carry a Mack truck and holds up to 250 tons, which makes it the best flight to take for an epic party.

Oldie of the Day: Dangerous Maho Beach (18 pics)

Posted in PICTURES       16 Jul 2010       36864

Princess Juliana International Airport is located on the island of St. Maarten shared by two nations: the French and the Dutch. This airport is famous all over the world because it is too close to the Maho Beach. People who go there always see airplanes that fly just above their heads when entering the airport.

This airport is unique. Its runway is very short, only about 2,130 meters. This is what forces incoming airplanes to low over the beach, and this is what attracts plane spotters from all over the world. They can easily shoot spectacular images of incoming airplanes and get adrenaline while an aircraft is landing under manual flight control, because the airport doesn’t have a system of automatic landing.

When a Plane Runway Is Too Short (8 pics)

Posted in PICTURES       6 Jul 2010       12191

Of course, all plane runways are long enough for airplanes to land. But there are situations, when jets overshot a runway. Such case happened in Jamaica last winter. There were over 150 passengers aboard an American Airlines flight going from Miami to Jamaica. The weather was not nice, as there was a heavy rainstorm. The jet overshot a runway when it was landing, and broke up in 3 parts. Good, no one was fatally injured.

Man Built a Pan Am Plane Cabin Raplica in His Garage! (8 pics)

Anthony Toth, 42, built a replica of a first-class cabin from a Pan Am World Airways 747 in his garage!
He has spent more than 20 years on his creation of a Pan Am cabin and he estimates he has spent around $50,000 on the project.
I think it’s pretty well done, but I would never spend $50k and 20 years of my life for that…

Replacing the damaged engine of a plane (6 pics)

It happened in Russia. Though the engine was damaged, it wasn’t a problem to land. But it was impossible to take off, they had to fix the problem right on place.
They did not even repair the engine, they put a brand new one from Air France.
The difficult part was to work outside and the weather was pretty cold.
You’ll see pics of the replacement and pics of the damaged engine inside the post.

Fighter jets breaking the Sound Barrier (16 pics)

The white halo you can see on the pics is called the Prandtl–Glauert singularity (sometimes referred to as a "vapor cone"). It is the point at which a sudden drop in air pressure occurs, and is generally accepted as the cause of the visible condensation cloud that often surrounds an aircraft traveling at transonic speeds.
Inside the post, you will see that kind of pictures. That’s quite impressive.
