Taking flight

Altimeter 3-Pointer Altimeter.svg The altimeter shows the aircraft's altitude above sea-level by measuring the difference between the pressure in a stack of aneroid capsules inside the altimeter and the atmospheric pressure obtained through the static system. The most common unit for altimeter calibration worldwide is hectopascals (hPa), except for North America and Japan where inches of mercury (...

Listen as I butcher airline names and as I talk in this very short episode of 787 delivery’s. I’m super tired so I did my best for this episode. Thanks for listening to taking flight!

Lets talk about the airbus a350 orders and delivery’s

More than 1,500 engines had been sold by July 2015 to 40 customers. Rolls-Royce offered its maintenance programme to Vietnam Airlines for £340 million for 14 airplanes, or £12.1 million per engine.[27]

In this episode I talk about Southwest Airlines. I dive into the history form when they first became and airline to today. We also talk about there huge fleet of Boeing 737 aircraft. Southwest Airlines is the the largest airline of single aircraft type seeing as they have Boeing 737-700’s 800’s 900’s and they Boeing 737 max 8 & 9

Welcome to episode 36! I’m this episode I dive into Aircraft Stabilizers. I talk about the different kind of stabilizers and help you to simply get a better understanding about aircraft, flight surfaces etc. thank you so much for listening, till next time. fly safe!

Incidents and accidents Air Canada Flight 621 – Premature deployment of the spoilers at low altitude contributed to this crash in Toronto on 5 July 1970. United Airlines Flight 553 – Forgetting to deactivate the spoilers contributed to crash at Chicago Midway International Airport on 8 December 1972. Loftleiðir Icelandic Airlines Flight 509 – Deployment of lift dumpers while attempting to arm them...

Principles of operation The general airplane lift equation demonstrates these relationships: L={\tfrac {1}{2}}\rho V^{2}SC_{L} where: L is the amount of Lift produced, \rho is the air density, V is the true airspeed of the airplane or the Velocity of the airplane, relative to the air S is the area of the wing C_{L} is the lift coefficient, which is determined by the shape of the airfoil used and t...

Moving the control stick to the left moves the aileron in the left wing up, that in the right wing down, making the plane lower the left wing. Pulling on the stick moves the elevators up, making the plane raise the nose. Pressing the right rudder pedal moves the rudder to the right, making the plane turn the nose to the right. Basic aircraft control surfaces and motion. Aircraft flight control sur...

Conservation laws (This is episode 32) The assumption of a fluid continuum allows problems in aerodynamics to be solved using fluid dynamics conservation laws. Three conservation principles are used: Conservation of mass Conservation of mass requires that mass is neither created nor destroyed within a flow; the mathematical formulation of this principle is known as the mass continuity equation. Co...

In this episode I talk about Southwest Airlines and there vaccine mandates I end up going on a political rant and ask forgiveness if I’ve offended anyone or shared the wrong news anyways thanks for listening to taking flight. Here is the link to the video I mentioned https://youtu.be/3JakPkT9qJk

On this episode I have my first guest I hope you enjoy your time listening

Attention plane spotters! I’m this short but informative podcast. I talk about some places I’d recommend going to spot aircraft! And btw. If you listen to this podcast via apple podcasts please leave a review it not only helps the podcast but gives me stuff to think about when planning a new episode. And I like Ive always said, this podcast is for the aviation enthusiasts, and the pilot at heart l...

Subcontracted assemblies included wing and center wing box (Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Japan; Subaru Corporation, Japan);[39] horizontal stabilizers (Alenia Aeronautica, Italy; Korea Aerospace Industries, South Korea);[40] fuselage sections (Global Aeronautica, Italy; Boeing, North Charleston, US; Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Japan; Spirit AeroSystems, Wichita, US; Korean Air, South Korea);[41][42...

The Embraer E-Jet E2 family are medium-range jet airliners developed by Embraer, succeeding the original E-Jet. The program was launched at the Paris Air Show in 2013. The first variant, the E190-E2, took its first flight on 23 May 2016 and was certified on 28 February 2018 before entering service with Widerøe on 24 April. The three twinjet variants share the same four-abreast narrow-body fuselage...

The Airbus A380 is a wide-body aircraft manufactured by Airbus. It is the world's largest passenger airliner. Airbus studies started in 1988, and the project was announced in 1990 to challenge the dominance of the Boeing 747 in the long haul market. The then-designated A3XX project was presented in 1994; Airbus launched the €9.5 billion ($10.7 billion) A380 programme on 19 December 2000. The first...

Let’s talk about Seattle, lax and O’hair international airports

In February 2018, after in-flight failures of the PW1100G with its high pressure compressor aft hub modified, apparently caused by problems with its knife edge seal, European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and Airbus grounded some A320neo family aircraft until they were fitted with spares. As of February 2018, P&W engines had flown 500,000 hours since introduction and 113 P&W-powered A320neo family...

ADS-B, which consists of two different services, "ADS-B Out" and "ADS-B In", could replace radar as the primary surveillance method for controlling aircraft worldwide. In the United States, ADS-B is an integral component of the NextGen national airspace strategy for upgrading and enhancing aviation infrastructure and operations.[11] Also within the United States, the ADS-B system can provide traff...

On 13 June 2005 at the Paris Air Show, Middle Eastern carrier Qatar Airways announced that they had placed an order for 60 A350s. In September 2006 the airline signed a memorandum of understanding with General Electric (GE) to launch the GEnx-1A-72 engine for the aircraft.[8][9][10] Emirates sought a more improved design and decided against ordering the initial version of the A350.[11][12] The Boe...

Breeze Aviation Group, Inc., trading as Breeze Airways, is an American airline headquartered in Cottonwood Heights, Utah. The airline was founded by David Neeleman, who previously co-founded Morris Air, WestJet, JetBlue, and Azul Linhas Aereas.[4] Breeze's operations launched on May 27, 2021, with its inaugural flight from Tampa International Airport to Charleston International Airport. devices ar...

On this episode of Taking Flight I talk about Boom’s Supersonic Overture jet, and the likelihood of the aircraft ever entering service. Our discussion of Boom’s proposed supersonic jet covers the challenges Boom, and any airline seeking to fly the supersonic jet, will encounter. Technology BOOM’s Overture aircraft currently lacks a critical component for flight: engines. While Rolls Royce is in ta...
