The sweep angle of the wing on a Boeing 747 exceeds that of any other commercial aircraft. The 747 holds the record for having the greatest wing sweep angle among all commercial aircraft worldwide. That is an impressive angle of 37.5 degrees. This significant wing sweep plays a crucial role in the aircraft’s performance, as a higher sweep angle allows for increased speed. In fact, the 747 is capable of cruising at an impressive Mach 0.85 (490 knots; 900 km/h). #boeing #boeing747 #boeing737 #boeinglovers #boeing787 #boeing777 #aerospace #aerospaceengineering #aerospaceindustry #aerospacemanufacturing #aerospaceanddefense #aeronauticalengineering #aerodynamics #aviation #aviationgeek #aviationindustry #aviationnews #aviationdaily #aviationlovers #aircraft #aircraftengineer

Cockpit Door Installation. Installing an aircraft cockpit door typically involves several steps to ensure proper functionality and safety. Here is a general guide: Preparation: Gather all necessary tools and equipment. Ensure the cockpit area is clean and free of obstructions. Positioning: Place the cockpit door in the correct orientation, aligning it with the door frame. Ensure that the hinges are properly aligned with the corresponding mounting points. Installation: Properly install the two screw at the top that is shown in the video, and one bolt at the bottom. Testing: Conduct a thorough test of the door to ensure proper functionality. Check for smooth opening and closing, secure latching, and proper alignment with the door frame. Verify that the door can be easily opened from both inside and outside the cockpit in case of emergency. Final Inspection: Perform a final inspection of the installed door to check for any defects, loose components, or safety hazards. #Airbus #Aviation #Aircraft #Flight #AvGeek #AirbusFamily #A320 #A330 #A350 #A380

The Airbus A300 is Airbus's first production aircraft and the world's first twin-engine, double-aisle (wide-body) airliner, developed and manufactured by Airbus from 1971 to 2007. The A300 has two underwing podded turbofans. 561 of the A300 was built between 1971 - 2007. The first twin-engine widebody airliner, the A300 typically seats 247 passengers in two classes over a range of 5,375 to 7,500 km. Initial variants are powered by General Electric CF6-50 or Pratt & Whitney JT9D turbofans and have a three-crew flight deck. Unlike most Airbus products, it has a yoke, not using a fly-by-wire system. First flight was 28th October 1972, was then introduced to Air France on 23 May 1974.
