    if you look at inaccurate google - your aircraft from the showroom floor is: a) an A330 is $ 250 million US b) an A380 is $ 440 million US - reverse thrust on engines 1 & 4 are extra says the ad that's a good price ? for both .................. if you get plane a) for free

    interesting comment that - would nt worry me (nor most of us) having aircraft whizzing around at a strip but bikes (in particular moto X) (road bike get an unqualified exemption Nev) any moto X bikes blipping (for want of a better word) all afternoon can be very annoying and tiring (except I assume if you are on the said moto X bike doing the blipping)

    in 14.5 years I could be burnt at the stake as a heretic ........... but I think any person that thinks a future society will have flying cars must have a deluded psyhcosis that stems from the Jetsons - probably a parental / paternalistic feeling of nurture & comfort as George ? Jetson blits off to work. Tommorrow I am prepared to wager $ 10,000 that a flying car spciety will never exist

    Its great you can live in a country (Oz) - own a 12 cylinder car and get a pensioners rebate on the E-type jag (if that is true) - means you can still throw the lawnmower in the back and go out and earn some pocket money

    if low flying is legally taught - it is in a defined area / zone where there are no dangerous low obstacles .............. such as wires there is certainly a curiosity about flying low when you are a low hour pilot (generally speaking) a low flying area helps pilots to start to contemplate, consider and comprehend the dangers

    Did somebody just mutter, “correlation does not imply causation”? ............................ if you dropped a rock on your foot - the above statement holds logic

    thanks for all that peoples - I'll add I think for the turbo - the intercooler needs to be in there as well cooling down of intake gas and fuel ? before it goes in the engine I'm going back to that book where I mislead it or I misunderstood it (I still think ? the Luftwaffe climbed to have the height advantage for speed / gravity - to get some performance)
  21. johnm
    so Loonybob / and others - are the facts about Luftwaffe and say USA aircraft performance correct ? - via my crude technical ability Did Luftwaffe craft perform not as well at the higher altitude and if that is correct what was the thing that determined that ? ta
  22. johnm
    On the subject of P47’s and WW2 Reading my last book ……… the Luftwaffe did not have much access to metals such as nickel so their max boost (super or turbo ?) for the ME 109 and FW 190 was say 18000 ft where as the P47 & P51 was something like + 24000 ft The height at which the B17 flying fortress flew at - + 24000 ft A distinct advantage to the allies and their bombing campaign in Europe. A distinct disadvantage to Luftwaffe pilots who had to get up to the B17 height Not something well considered by many ? – these crude technical comments are made for discussion !
