Asking if every goddamned thing is a 'meme', is a meme. Knock that shit off and get real.

No, it's not

got so school learn some physics and mechanics and then ask yourself again that question.

>>1085640
Nope. They are slow, very susceptible to weather and wind effects, and cannot lift as much as you think. Heavier than air flight is king for a reason.

This is indeed a problem. Maybe attaching it to a train could help.

what about a reaction control system? Like we have on rockets? We could use hydrogen as a propellant for that, or we could have the props be 3d maneuverable.

Presta, the narrower diameter means a smaller hole in the rim, for stronger wheels. The only advantage of schrader is it's stronger and has a built in spring instead of the little nut, so it's better for klutzes.

If Airbus responds, it won't be for a while because it's not even definite that Boeing will build the NMA/797 yet.

Airbus has, in the recent past, said that they feel they are covered with the A321neo (and LR version) and the A330neo. And on top of that, they've indicated that they don't plan to stretch the A321neo into the A322. In a 2-class config, the A321 is basically a 757-200 in terms of capacity. I'd guess that an A322 would be about the capacity of a 757-300. The 797/NMA will allegedly carry 220-270 passengers and go about 5200nm. The lean towards "twin aisle w/ single aisle economics" is supposed to be what differentiates it beyond the capacity/range combination.

Going to be very interesting to watch how this develops.

Also, I really don't see the point in keeping the MAX 9 around. It seems like they should push as many orders as possible to convert their MAX 9 orders to MAX 10s. Airbus dominated the upper tier of that segment with the A321neo and Boeing should take the hint.

>>1084186
Apparently 214 of the 361 MAX 10 orders were conversions with the rest being net new.

Literally who?

>pros are starting to slam the saddles forward and tilt downwards 9 degrees


Who cares? The pros will always do whatever lets them put their saddle as far forwards as possible within the rules.

I like the horsecar variation. Rails are sexy + horses can pull the cars more easily.

That's a beautiful looking horse drawn tramcar there.

The Isle Of Man has horse drawn trams too.

>>1086634

Indeed.

These things are more rare than steam trains. They are the unicorns of the rails.

I know you have an A4 in America, apart from that I've got no idea really. There's one in Canada as well, wish you'd give them back.

I know that feeling all too well. I'm in a model railroad club and all I run are British locos, while everyone else runs American trains. I try bringing British railway stuff up in conversation, but they end up going on about Santa Fe diesels or some other yank shit.

And having a British themed layout is a bitch because I have to import everything. It'd be nice if to have a local shop that sells Hornby or something so I could have it the same day.

I'm just glad I'm not alone in my interests.

first of all, if you get this type of bike, you should not care what other people thinks, but if you do, it's not the bike for you, simple as that.

normies would think is cool

Sounds kind of fun, actually.

I don't know how practical it would be to get around though.

Don't know.

I live in a country where homelessness is basically non-existent, due social security that covers everyone an home to live in.

But there are some druggies on the metro, trams and commuter trains, mainly because there isn't ticket barriers and ticket inspectors aren't everywhere.

Pic related, the metro. Since it travels to the ''shitty parts'' of Helsinki, there is often bums and smelly people.

- Whenever the bus/tram reached terminal, all passengers should be deboarded, and then driver should shut the engine and lock the door after that. Reboarding would require the passenger pay the fare again
- For metro, the ampubt of time allowed for one person to stay in the metro from entering a station to leaving another should be restricted to like two or three hours depend on longest journey you can possibly make in the network. Anyone who stay in the paid area for exceedingly long should pay a fine for abusing the facility.
- And public transport company and their staff should be given right to refuse people who would be disruptive to other passenger from using their service just like in cinema/etc

There is a simple solution to all of this: reintroduce 1st class/2nd class/3rd class schemes to rail transport. You have the 3rd class cars where only homeless sit and middle class and rich people get their own separate cars. Voila.

I play MSTS. Only because no other TS (apart from Trainz) allows me to drive suburban Melbourne trains

>>1074725

Also I think the TSW devs said they're gonna finally add Australia stuff and support for 3rd-party modding.
