Plane Crash

[dangerous_sep]

I have client out there that has a similar 'looking' plane
Was worried that it could be him.
Thankfully it wasn't.
His hanger is pretty sweet

Airplanes are designed to fly. They want to fly. Meaning if you lost all thrust, you don't just fall out of the sky. Here is a copy and paste segment from an aviation site. The following explanation along with the system redundancies built into the aircraft is what makes air travel so safe. Most accidents are due to pilot error.

The parameter you're asking about is called glide ratio and it is directly related to another parameter called lift-to-drag ratio or L/D ratio. This is a fundamental characteristic of the aerodynamics of a particular aircraft. L/D ratio varies with airspeed; for determining best engine-out glide performance, the L/D ratio at "best glide airspeed" is used. "Best glide airspeed" is the speed that maximizes the L/D ratio, and this maximum value is known as L/Dmax.

The maximum L/D ratio (L/Dmax) of a Cessna 172 is about 9, so its glide ratio is about 9:1 - for every 9 units traveled forward it will lose 1 unit of altitude. So, it will glide about 9,000 feet for every 1,000 feet of altitude available. This is a fairly typical value for small planes.

To show you how widely variable this is, a modern glider can achieve ratios above 60:1, while the Space Shuttle ranged from about 1:1 at high speed, early in reentry, to 4.5:1 on final approach.

Notably, large transport aircraft tend to have significantly higher L/D ratios than small aircraft: a 747 can achieve an L/Dmax of about 17:1. With an altitude of 33,000 feet (~10,000 meters) that would mean a gliding distance of 100 miles (~170 Km).

This is all meaningless if it can't take off from a treadmill.

Lol no Dfwmustangs baller for sure

fuck that, the hangar is full of win!

Yes sir!
