versus the typical 35,000ft cruising altitude and Mach 0.8 speed of regular freighters. The reason for this is that certain payloads, especially helicopters, are not generally certified for exposure to altitudes of more than 20,000 ft – a constraint that needs to be maintained while they are...
The Loft was designed collaboratively by Virgin Atlantic and London based Factory Design, and is manufactured by AIM Altitude in Bournemouth Introducing the A350 Upper Class suite – experience the evolution The new Upper Class suite is the perfect retreat at 30,000 feet. Every seat faces...
When climbing to the cruising altitude you should switch to the standard pressure setting when passing through the transition altitude of the departure airport. Similarly during the descent you should switch back to local QNH pressure setting when you are descending through the transition level on the...
We start with the "Options" page that it is not related directly to the A350 but the noted FlightFactor options. You can set the speed you want the simulation to go at in "Time Flow", Difficulty Level, Structural Limits, Baro selection, Default Trans Altitude (direct input), ILS A...
Anyway, one report caught my attention as it had echoes of the Boeing 737 Max 8 MCAS issues. Except this incident report related to an Airbus A321 several years earlier. Fortunately, the incident happened at cruising altitude and was resolved after a loss of ~4,000 feet. The plane landed ...
the A-350 does not have humidified air, like the 787-900. It was exceptionally dry once we were at cruising altitude. This is a nice aircraft, but the way that Lufthansa has it fitted out in business class with somewhat uncomfortable seats definitely takes away from the positive experience ...
to be replaced with a sabre like point taking up the outer 4.4 meters (14 feet) of the wing. The high-lift trailing edge of the wing uses the same hinge system as the A380 with spoilers covering the gap created when flaps are extended. The new wing design allows a cruising speed of...
Fig. 13.Concorde was a remarkable technical achievement, capable of cruising at Mach 2, over 2000kph, but the insoluble sonic boom problem limited its supersonic flights to trans-Atlantic routes. The delta wing configuration and slender fuselage with a very pointed nose that could be drooped fo...
A350是其继任者;麦道MD-11和波音777是其主要竞争对手。截至2021年底,全球A340机队已完成超过250万次飞行,累计飞行时间超过2000万小时,运送超过6亿名乘客,没有发生任何致命事故。截至2023年3月,全球共有203架A340飞机在45家运营商手中运营。汉莎航空是最大的A340运营商,拥有27架飞机。
The smallComac ARJ21 Xiangfeng(an A220 equivalent model) carries between 90 to 105 passengers serving regional airports in China and beyond. It should be particularly well adapted for short or high-altitude runways that require extra power or a sharp rate of climb. In China alone domestic airli...
