Die C 5 Galaxy hat ein beindruckendes T-Leitwerk. Die Tragflächen, als Schulterdecker ausgeführt, sind richtig positioniert. Wenn man die Boeing 777 mit dem T-Leitwerk und die Triebwerke, wie bei der erfolgreichen 727, anordnen würde braucht man nur noch die Tragflächen um ein Segment nach hinten verschieben. Gehe davon aus, dass die tolle 777 bei gleicher Belastung und gleicher Betankung 800 km mehr Reichweite erreicht.

@trevorreynolds6330 2 ай бұрын

This is rather unerwhelming. Here we are talkining up these engine like they are the next bing thing. But they are far from that. These engines are/were widely used in commercial avaition. So reverse thrust stopping power has been a thing for quite a while. Also the power plants here only put out 43,000Lb--f each The Airbus A380 and Boeing 777 which use either the GP7270 or the Rollys Royce Trent 900 which produces 81,500Lb-f of thurst each. Even the newer A350 using the Rolls Royce XWB-84 engine produces 84,200Lb-f of thrust but has an option to go up to the XWB-97 for a massive 97,000Lb-f. Still the C-5 Galaxy is an amazing plane and back in the 70's it was for sure ahead of its time.

@danielocarey9392 26 күн бұрын

Well, the video got you to watch it by speaking of thrust reversing on the C-5A. But that was only to get you to watch it. But know that the A-380 only has thrust reversing on the inboard engines. Interesting isn't it. I imagine their brakes are pretty awesome.

@danielocarey9392 26 күн бұрын

Possibly. But they need to return to cables for flight controls. If hydraulics or batteries fail, the pilots can still control the aircraft with more effort. But Boeing is often the lowest bidder. And to be this, they must compromise safety. And they do. The DC-8, 880 and 990 had 3-wing spars for safety. Boeing just had 2 to save money. The Convairs had separate pressurized hatches for hydraulic pumps than in the wheel wells. Boeing did not. So, if a 707 put up the wheels while one tire was hot, it could sever hydraulic lines, bringing down the airplane.
