The also has the honor of being the first commercial aircraft to be designed entirely by computer. The system was groundbreaking in that it allowed engineers to assemble a virtual aircraft, in simulation. Being able to check for interference and ensure that the thousands of parts fit properly, substantially reduced costly rework on the plane. In joint third place are airliner rivals Boeing and Airbus.
Introduced in October , the Boeing Dreamliner is a mid-size, long-haul twin-engine airliner that can seat a maximum of passengers and has a cruising speed of Mach 0.
Window dimensions are The European manufactured Airbus A is the largest passenger plane in the world, with a maximum capacity of passengers. Production of the A peaked in at 30 aircraft a year, but Airbus now believes that their investment in the development of the jet will never be recouped. Production of the last Airbus A is intended for Our runner-up is the wide-bodied, four-engine Boeing The bolts through the sky slightly faster than its competitors, with a speed of Mach 0.
Introduced in , the maximum capacity of this passenger airliner is and its primary users are British Airways, Qantas and Lufthansa.
Popular as a long-haul aircraft, the can fly non-stop for up to 7, nautical miles. Also known as the Intercontinental, this super-speedy airliner features redesigned wings, new engines, and improved fuselage and efficiency; and can carry passengers, including eight in First Class and 92 in Business Class. The Boeing i sped into service in and eclipsed all of its competitors at Mach 0. In , the U. Air Force reported that the current presidential Air Force One and Air Force Two — both Boeing s — would be replaced by two Boeing s which were originally destined for the bankrupt Russian airline, Transaero.
The jets will be retrofitted with telecommunications and security equipment to bring them up to the required security standards for the presidential aircraft. Boeing has plans to create the fastest commercial airliner in the world that will eclipse anything the aviation industry has experienced so far in civilian aircraft. This means that a flight from London to New York will take just two hours, compared to the current time of about six hours and 45 minutes.
Taking into account possible setbacks and delays which will include meeting market, regulatory, and environmental requirements, Boeing hopes to have the aircraft in service sometime before the late s. In preparation for hypersonic civilian flight, Boeing has unveiled designs for an intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance ISR military jet which could take to the skies in It seems Boeing may have competition in their quest for hypersonic flight.
The Chinese Academy of Sciences is reportedly developing plans for a biplane with two layers of wings that will fly at Mach 5, taking two hours to fly passengers and cargo from Beijing to New York — 11 hours faster than the current journey time. Until supersonic and hypersonic air travel arrives in the mainstream, private jet charters still offer passengers the fastest way to travel quickly and conveniently.
Lower weights and temperatures will result in better performance, as will having a headwind component. Higher altitudes and temperatures will degrade performance.
The engines are running by default when you begin a flight. Reverse thrust is forbidden for backing the — out of parking or at any time during taxiing. In Flight Simulator, rudder pedals twist the joystick, use the rudder pedals, or press 0 [left] or ENTER [right] on the numeric keypad are used for directional control during taxiing.
Avoid stopping the during turns, as excessive thrust is required to get moving again. The following table lists recommended maneuvering speeds for various flap settings. The minimum flap-retraction altitude is feet, but 1, feet complies with most noise abatement procedures. When extending or retracting the flaps, use the next appropriate flap setting depending on whether you're slowing down or speeding up.
Remember, these are minimum speeds for flap operation. Flying slower than this at bank angles of 40 degrees would initiate the stick shaker. For VFE speeds, see the Kneeboard. Adding 15 to 20 knots to these speeds is recommended if maneuvering with large bank angles, and in general, provides a good safety margin.
On climbout, lowering the nose to give an additional 15 to 20 knots will also give you better forward vision from the cockpit.
In adverse weather conditions, taxi with the wing flaps up, and then set takeoff flaps during your Before Takeoff checklist procedure.
Likewise, retract the flaps as soon as practicable upon landing. Flaps are generally not used on the — to increase the descent rate during the descent from en route altitude. All of the following occurs quite rapidly. Read through the procedure several times before attempting it in the plane so you know what to expect.
Run through the Before Takeoff checklist, and set flaps to 5 press F7 , or click the flap lever on the panel. With the aircraft aligned with the runway centerline, advance the throttles press F3 , or drag the throttle levers to approximately 40 percent N1. This allows the engines to spool up to a point where uniform acceleration to takeoff thrust will occur on both engines.
The exact amount of initial setting is not as important as setting symmetrical thrust. As the engines stabilize this occurs quickly , advance the thrust levers to takeoff thrust—less than or equal to percent N1. Final takeoff thrust should be set by the time the aircraft reaches 60 KIAS. Directional control is maintained by use of the rudder pedals twist the joystick, use the rudder pedals, or press 0 [left] or ENTER [right] on the numeric keypad.
Below about 80 KIAS, it's easy to stop the airplane on the runway using the brakes only. As soon as the aircraft is showing a positive rate of climb on liftoff both vertical speed and altitude are increasing , retract the landing gear press G , or drag the landing gear lever.
At 1, feet meters , reduce flaps from 5 to 1 press F6 , or drag the flaps lever. As you retract the flaps, set climb power to approximately 90 percent N1 press F2 , use the throttle control on your joystick, or drag the thrust levers. Maintain 6- or 7-degrees nose-up pitch attitude to climb at KIAS to 10, feet, then knots to 25, feet, then 0. Cruise altitude is normally determined by winds, weather, and other factors. You might want to use these factors in your flight planning if you have created weather systems along your route.
Optimum altitude is the altitude that gives the best fuel economy for a given configuration and gross weight. A complete discussion about choosing altitudes is beyond the scope of this section. Let's say you've filed a flight plan for FL Approaching your cruising altitude, take 10 percent of the rate of climb or descent, and convert that number to feet. For example, if you're climbing or descending at FPM, start leveling off ft before you reach the target altitude.
You'll find it's much easier to operate the Boeing — in climb, cruise, and descent if you use the autopilot. The autopilot can hold the altitude, speed, vertical speed, heading, or navaid course you specify.
For more information about using autopilots, see Using an Autopilot. Normal cruise speed is Mach 0. You can set. For example, producing a version of the engine that is on a to propel the ? A: The total thrust required is the key, not the number of engines.
A engine may be equal to two engines, but the wing is not designed to take such a large engine in one place. The originally flew in ; in those days it took four engines to power it. Therefore, the design was centered on four engines. Since then, engine technology has improved, making more powerful engines common. However the design limitations remain for the The , a twin engine airplane, can fly almost as many people, almost as far as a , but it was designed thirty years later.
