MD26-28 400Hz inverter - not very reliable by
Tim Shoppa
Peter wrote:
I've had two of the above fail in under 3 years.
I would guess that the failures are related to adverse voltages
coming in or an adverse load on the output. The electrical
environment of a small plane can actually be much more abusive
than a modern car, because of the wide...

Tim
Hi,

TAS: 330 kts
True Course: 088°
I found a GS of 344 kts (so the TW-component is 14 kts (makes sense up

final reserve fuel by
Tim
Hi,
Could anyone tell me how the final reserve for jets is calculated?
I know it's the fuel to fly for 30 minutes at 1500ft AAL in ISA
conditions at holding speed... But what weight do you use? Do you
assume that contignency fuel is burnt (so gross weight = TOW - TRIP
fuel - ALTN fuel) when...

Phoenix area DA-40 rental? by
Thomas Borchert
Hi all,
does anyone know of places to rent a DA-40 from in the Phoenix area?
Could be an SR20, too. Arizona Flightworks at SDL used to have one, but
it is moving to another location. Thanks!

Early Airbus A-3X series: 'Shear' effect on aft-most rows by

Early Airbus A-3X series: 'Shear' effect on aft-most rows
On the first two Airbus widebody entrants(the 300 & 310), I distinctly noticed that the rear-most 10-12 passenger windows actually shear up, as do the ends of a classic ocean liner, along with the rows corresponding to that end of the...

757-767-777 DNA by
[email protected]
757-767-777 DNA: What's in common, what's different?
I know all three share the same cockpit(section ahead of
'41'). This is why the 757's front end looks bug-eyed,
the 767, just right, and the 777 - slightly squinty, widening
aft to accommodate a nearly 747-wide cabin.
Secondly, the...

Why does a prop ice up so apparently readily? by
The Visitor
Were they the wide cord butcher props? Perhaps they spin slower?
Mine are electrically heated but only the inboard third or so. (seneca)

When did planes become wings? by
The Thunder Child
I've been reading a 1910 Tom Swift book - Tom Swift and his Airship, in
which the dirigible is also outfitted with "planes" - i.e., wings.
And of course that's where monoplane, biplane and triplane come from,
though I confess I'd never connected the two.
So, can anyone tell me when an aeroplane's...
