I intend to build a modernized one some day.
>>732238060
>>732239901
powered by an american built rolls royce merlin 66 , same engine as the spitfire
>>732240682
Then why is the Mustang vastly superior?
>>732240190
OP here, i'd love to see that
>>732239958
Airlines are moving to two-engines tho, the A380 is dying
>>732240768
http://www.aviatia.net/p-51-vs-spitfire/
really?
>>732240768
but it could carry more fuel and armament
>>732240936
I've been working on A350 few years ago
And I'll move to A320 soon
A380 is about to die, true.
>>732240815
I'd like to make it electric. Never liked the noise and vibration from airplane piston engines.
>>732241151
Good money at Airbus?
>>732241224
Around 2K€/month
Including day & night shifts
Also, A340 is dead but such a pretty fucker
>>732241366
i see, kinda expected more. Sounds like a fun job if you're a plane junkie
Avro 730
>>732241425
Pushing every buttons in the cockpit (Yes, even the big red ones), finding failures, doing troubleshooting
Kinda fun, right !
The A380 is pretty nice too. I've heard some of its pilots say it's like flying the Rolls Royce of airliners.
>>732241750
Ever any proper emergencies?
>>732241811
The fucker isn't fuel efficient and only works on high demand routes. It is, however, a pretty plane
I know it's a fictional aircraft but how does everyone feel about the f/a-37 from Stealth?

>>732243669
E190s look way better than 787s though and are almost as advanced.
>>732242872
>>732243771
I dunno, they look plain, although the nose section is similar. But I love the wings of 787

I love the looks
>>732243771
e190s are the most annoying planes ever, fucking most ear raping engine whine when they taxi by. They also have a nose high stance which is gay.

they have problems though

Just looked it up. It looks even more disproportinate than a 757 with the Pratts but in a good way.
>>732244287
I still love it purely from an aesthetic standpoint

>>732244483
350 looks amazing. Would like to learn it.
>>732244718
ye, its always fun when a pilot reports a cfm leaking fuel(which it does normally) so then I have to stand next to the running engine for 5 minutes counting the drips of the drain mast.

>>732244483
would someone explain to me what 1/2 these buttons even do?
ms flight sim 95 was as easy as pulling back on the joystick
The SR-71 is the best flying anything ever designed ever.
>>732244874
The buttons tell you exactly what they do right next to em. But an airbus is basically 99% automatic you only press like 4-5 of them.
The Flying Bum
>>732244874
it's really not that complicated, every button is almost everytime explained by a quote nearby
>>732244646
On the topic of flight simulators, could you help give advice on how to get into them. Preferably to high level simulation commercial jet flight.
Really interested in getting into it but seems very difficult.

I agree with most of those, I like the Viggen, but ME-262 is overrated.
>>732246258
I was standing next to that EXACT same 777 on monday
>>732243952
it was originally made to be a B-29 knock off
>>732246486
I'm pretty sure this is the B-29 knockoff.
>>732244716
Let's go
>>732243952
but it sounds so good

>>732245017
[4646 here]
I'm using X-Plane 11. It has the best flight model and looks beautiful, but for perfect realism you have to work a bit. Pretty good straight out of box.
Watch this trailer, you'll get this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ov0Sm9GDha4
It comes with a few highly modelled airliner on default, but you can get hundreds for free and there are a bunch of extremely good payware stuff to it.
In overall, this is the future, and many flight simmer stick to FSX/FS2004/FSSE because they invested way too much to leave it.
For decent sim experience you need a decent PC and a bunch of expensive hardware. If you have a huge ammount of money you can even buy builded cabins for airliners.
But with months of work, and thousands of dollars you can make your own simulator an FAA certified one with X-Plane.
Are u familiar flying airliners?
Let's not forget the old ones
>>732246779
old airliners best airliners
>>732246595
and they used that knock off to make the 95 which was essentially the same just larger and with some changes like swept wings
>>732246664
X plane is the cancer of Flight simulators...
Get FSX or P3D
i mean
>>732246922
dubs checked
Yeah I don't understand why people over here in the UK get afraid when the Russians send a TU-95 near the coast, the thing looks like a joke compared to what we have flying today.
>>732246627
You be the pilot and I'll be the plane.
>>732238060
There is only one Corsair
>>732238060
>Posting a regional jet as favorite
>>732247169
Isn't it the only russian aircraft to have the range and the capabilities for a nuclear load?
>>732247205
Hi there Corsair, have you ever shot down a MiG before?
>>732247275
your mom has a nuclear load
>>732247275
I think they also have the TU-160 Blackjack which is basically a copy of the yank B-1 Lancer. If they sent that thing over I could see why people would be scared, it looks intimidating, even if it is a copy of an American aircraft.
>>732247265
Only plane i thought of at the time, hate myself now
>>732247519

>>732241151
>A380 is about to die, true.
I think this is true, Singapore did not renew its A380 lease, for the LAX-NRT route instead replacing it with a 777.
I think the new wave of 787/A350 type of technology will be the death of the 4 engine superjumbo.
747 is dead as the A380 will be soon too.
>>732247335
lol right guys?
RNoAF F-16
Still love this.
>>732247976
despite the bad press you can't lie the thing looks fucking cool
>>732247757
They're good for hub-spoke models. The real money sits in point-to-point
Terrible track-record, but it's a good look
>>732248020
ya haters are gonna hate
>>732247320
I can't hear you over the sound of creating air superiority over the Pacific in WWII
>>732246944
>>732245017
Well, everyone have the right to check out available sims and decide which one fits them the most.
Cause you can't really compare X-Plane to FSX (which one is way older and needs some rework from the basics), here's a comparison to the P3D. That was my other choice before "final". haha.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZUtEqgDjjJU
>>732247727
That's taking it a little fast.
I was thinking I'll be naked and stiff on all fours while you preform a thorough pre-flight. Then you notice a possible leak so you call the line mechanic >>732244854 to count the drips while you get in and start me up.
>>732248146
>Bad track record
Nigger the 88s and super 80's are STILL flying regularly today.
>>732246922

except it came one generation later, has turboprops and it's still in use as a maritime patrol plane.

>>732238060
>inb4 on OP
That's not how you play the game.
>>732248643
Gorgeous
>>732243112
That's what I thought. It seemed a little long to be a 900.
>>732249352
How so? They're built like a tank and have outlived their competitors
I can tell you which ones are NOT my favorite. EMB 145 and CRJ700/900.
>>732248643
I grew up In El Paso, where they used to station the B36 At Biggs, anyways a long time ago one crashed into the mountain(Franklin), and if you hike up the mountain there are still many parts scattered about.
>>732249597
Not really what we asked
>>732249523
The engines have a history of over heating and catching fire and loss of power. 10 years is a long time in terms of advances in technology, and the older engineering reqiuring a greater degree of inspection.
>>732247528
