A first look at the new Airbus aircraft.

[ShahdagMountains]

Can you imagine this staying up in the air?

The Airbus A-390 can carry around 1,000 passengers at the same time.

Please note that the Airbus A-390 is equipped with 6 engines.

However, it is strongly similar to the latest model - the Airbus A-380 - and offers a more compact arrangement for passengers.

The aircraft has up to three levels, probably divided into comfort classes.

The six engines will fully handle the high weight, but on the other hand, the range of the aircraft is expected to be reduced. Currently, the Airbus A-380 has a flight range of just over 15,000 kilometers. For the new model, the manufacturers will probably limit the range to 11,000-12,000 kilometers.

I'd trust Elons dick shaped rocket before I'd trust anything like that.

A thousand passengers!?

 

[Harry Dresden]

A thousand passengers!?

more people to die if it goes down....

The dick rocket is Bezos

A first look at the new Airbus​

Whenever I hear of Airbuses, I'm always reminded of the maiden flight of the first Airbus where they tried to do a low flyover to impress the crowd and the new computer-controlled flight controls (where the pilot was no longer directly connected to the plane but instead fed commands to a computer which in turn actually controlled the plane) which was designed to eliminate the possibility of pilot error by overriding the pilot if he did something wrong for the situation to prevent a crash (an early form of AI), misinterpreted the pilot's efforts and overrode his attempts to raise the plane and crashed it into a forest instead.

Then they spent years trying to cover it up by blaming the pilot instead.

Which has led me on to this:

Will AI be flying planes in the future?

When will advances in computing completely take over the reins in the cockpit?

^ The year began with the news of an AI system flying a F-16 fighter jet for over 17 hours. That a computer system can fly a tactical aircraft without any human intervention speaks volumes about how far the technology has come today.

After all, autonomous drones have been flying themselves for quite a few years now. So, the question becomes, “Can we trust AI to pilot commercial aircraft carrying hundreds of passengers across the globe?”

Really?

I had no idea he was into the space race as well.

Huh.

Well, rockets ARE usually that shape anyway. LOL

His rockets are sub-orbital only.

You do realize that is clickbait fake?

New Glen is a Falcon 9 ripoff

Of course it is.

How many years did it take them to catch up to SpaceX's first successful launch platform? They are like a decade behind, aren't they?

More than a decade. Bezos hired a friend of mine to try and dig them out of the hole they're in.
