We couldn't have a guide to the best-turbocharged cars without mentioning where the wonders of the exhaust driving turbine all began – the Oldsmobile Cutlass Jetfire. Turbochargers were not a new idea; they'd already been fitted to planes and diesel locomotives, but fitting one to a car ...
Planes fly high to lessen the air resistance, which creates better fuel efficiency. Due to lower resistance at higher altitudes, commercial airplanes can keep going with minimal fuel expenditure. That's why heights of 35,000+ feet are often referred to as "cruising altitude." Largest Planes Eve...
Everyone complains of bouncing, but I just finished Jerrie Mock’s “Three-Eight Charlie” accounting her women’s first solo flight around the world in a Cessna 180 — the 170’s bigger brother. She was constantly complaining of bouncing on her landings...
It's fantastic the offer of planes, I'm still with FS2004, and also have the FSX with the acceleration pack. For years I've played more the FS2004 - pity there are few files for FS 9. In my country flight simulation is not - shall I say - very popular - so is hard to find st...
The fast-approachingera of electric aircraft will transform intracity and regional travel for passengers, but it will also fundamentally change the pilot experience. The new crop of electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) craft are smaller than most helicopters and conventional planes, but ...
Owners have access to the full fleet of planes and may upgrade or downgrade for specific flights. At the end of the contract the owner can sell their share either back to the company or to another owner waiting for a position, most companies charge a re-marketing fee to do this. ...
WWII planes, Kiddie convoy, merry-go-round, and so on. Second, Intermediate rides that are considered more suitable for older children. This kind of ride often includes a space-age tilt-a-whirl, a crashed space ship, a 12-car circular track, small roller coaster, turbo-ride theater, ...
Players took the role of air traffic controller at a busy airport; each time a plane arrived, it was your job to trace a path on screen that led it to a runway of the correct colour, without hitting any other planes. Outta Control is the same concept, except it’s squabbling children...
The survey also ignores piston-powered planes and those smaller aircraft used mainly for charter work. "Clearly flying on pure jet powered aircraft is far safer as seven out of the ten aircraft with bad crash rates are turboprops." "Aircraft such as the 777, A380, A340, 717 and 787 have...
When the GT2 competes in its first full season of the Fanatec series, five customer cars are set to line up on the grid. For those not interested in traveling to Europe to race, Maserati will deliver a car to the United States for $522,000 to use for track days. That's a lot of...
