Aircraft like the B707, how would the aircraft gather speed and altitude data? And if they used pitot static system by that time, was there ever anything else that gathered the speed data?

Why did Lockheed Martin give the F-22 stealth fighter such small fuel tanks while the F-35 got much more fuel capacity relative to its size and single jet engine?

Is it possible to have a fully electric airliner? How much room would have to be sacrificed for a power bank in these aircraft to allow similar range to the current models (e.g., A320, 737, etc.)? W …

I’ve heard some pilots say the MD-11 (I think?)was made with too much elevator, and that it’s an overkill. So now I’m curious, how do they determine the length for the elevator? Is it possible to ma …

I just saw a comparison between the 787 and Concorde windows. I could be wrong but it almost seems like a hand could cover the majority of the window.

What’s the purpose of this design, and why only on one side?

I’m mostly asking after reading about Aeroperu Flight 603, which was caused by a piece of tape blocking the sensor. Is there any other way to gather IAS or is this the best way to do it?

and how can you even tell the pilots did “grasp and hold” during an investigation? Is it determined based off what they say?

this article states that the original version of MCAS was suppose to rely on two sensors, One sensor will detect a high angle of attack, therefore activating MCAS The other sensor will detect a high …

Why does Boeing use a trim wheel in the 737 and not any other products? Is the trimmed state for the 737 just more important than in the 777? Or even 747? It gives the impression that a secondary …

this article states The KC-46 has a two-sensor MCAS system, which “compares the two readings,” the Air Force said. I’m aware that the 737 uses two sensors and always has, but the computer reads …

how could they know but nobody else did? Did they buy the extra sensor or something?

For example, the CRJ has a flap setting of 0, 8, 20, 30, and 45 degrees. The Learjet has similar features across their models, as far as I can see which is 0, 8, 20, and 40 degrees Why do smaller …

I found this article rather interesting, but like most things on the internet, they can be wrong. I couldn't think of a better site to address this question. This user says: when ELMS takes over powe …
