The new cockpit looks even better than the 777 (more advanced and digital. the 747-300 was the last Boeing airplane to have only analog displays I think, for at least comercial planes. The first digital one was the 747-400.)

I have to admit, it looks really nice an relaxing, but how many f us will be able to see this section. Most airliners will just use it for business and economy class will be shiny, bright and narrow as usual. Frankly speaking fter three hours of economy class flight, every plane looks the same to me narrow and boring. I only enjoyed my flights with Emirates and Singapore becuase their in flight entertainment systems are quite nice. Meals were good, too.

That first pic up there looks like something from aboard the Enterprise from Star Trek. Nice.

I've never been on a plane though. There hasn't really been any instance for me where a flight would be more practical then a car or bus ride.

It's probably going to take a funeral to get me on one. And that way there's less of a chance of crashing, since traveling to a funeral and the chance of myself dying try and cancel each other out. :)

Wait, I forget that I'm often on the receiving end of God's irony stick. Maybe that wouldn't be the best time to go.

The economy section will look the same, but with orange seats, and a little less space.

The 777-300ER can do the london-sydney flight without stops, when it comes out. Unbelievable, isn't it?

I was on a 747 a couple of times actually, the most recent being a few years back. I only remember that that one was the loudest airplane I have ever been in, that is not a turbo-prop. The other 747s I have been in are too long ago to remember, but I remember that one of them was from the KLM airline. For somereason I haven't been on one for at least 5-6 years. Also, the largest current airplane is the A380. I also think that the 777 actually has more seats in a row than a 747 which has a 3-4-3 arrangement, I think, and the 777 has a 3-5-3 or a 2-5-2 arrangement.


Editation: Actually the 777 has a 3-3-3 arrangement, and carries slightly less passengers thatn the 747-400 at around 450-500 passengers.

the first image is the 747, the second the 777.

The first time I witnessed one while it was taking off was in a airforce show in England. Than I saw one lifting up from Kuwait airport and the sound it made shook our poor 737 pretty badly.

I did not hear many B1 crashes. One made a belly landing some time ago, because of a hydraulic failure.

Not if you have a big flim studio. But you have to look closely, doesn't it look like the airplane just doesn't fit with the water, even if it's a little? Another reason why this couldn't be real is because the water jumps up after the airplane. The engines should push the water down with all the thrust that they use to propel the airplane into the air. Also how would you start the engines in the first place? You need oxygen as I mentioned before.

Let me change that after viewing the video again. It looks more like the explosion was added to the airplane, and not the other way around.

Just some information I wanted to share with you. Missiles shot from submarines when they are submerged are send to the surface by means of high pressure air. Missile is inside a tube and tube is filled with high pressure air. When the top cover is opened missile is sent to the surface, actually a little above the surface. As soon as the missile leaves water, its own rockets start working and it goes to its target.

On the page it says that it was a red excercise. What does that mean? Just like I read somewhere about Green Flag 93 - what's that?

It's this thing where you can make it look like there's really a plane in the air, but it's not really there. Do they exist?

By "red" they probably mean Red Flag. "It has long been known that if a pilot can survive his first 10 combat mission the success in his other mission improves dramatically" was said on Fighter Pilot Red Flag DVD. So Red Flag is (are) 10 mission witch every pilot has to take before going into real combat.
And abut Green flag I am not sour, I will inform you as soon as I find out more abut it.

I found this abut Green flag:

Green Flag stresses realistic training with more than 75 aircraft flying in a variety of combat scenarios. This training prepares U.S. forces to fight in a high-tech combat environment while providing Air Force leaders valuable planning experience. Unlike other Nellis flying exercises, which primarily focus on training for aircrew members, the Green Flag exercise focuses on electronic combat training. The exercise is where aircrews, intelligence and Air Operations Center people receive training. When properly applied, electronic combat can increase combat effectiveness.

Since the late 1970s, Green Flag exercises over the desert mountain ranges of Nevada have helped thousands of aircrews from every branch of the military and different countries around the world master their aerial combat skills.

The main mission of Green Flag was to prepare pilots to fight in a combined air, ground and electronic threat environment. One of the biggest lessons learned during the Vietnam War was that if pilots can survive their first seven combat sorties, their chances of survival during a conflict significantly increases. With that mentality, the Green Flag exercise and similar exercises held here help get the pilots through those first seven missions in a simulated combat environment.

Nellis Air Force Base hosted Green Flag 98-2, a large-scale, electronic warfare exercise. This will be the first flag exercise that included actual Scud missile systems as targets. The exercise gave participants a chance to work on refining the process for timely location, targeting and destruction of Scud missile systems. Besides U.S. forces, more than 700 people from Spain, Singapore, Germany, Canada and the United Kingdom participated in the exercise. The exercise started March 21 and continued through April 18.

Green Flag 00-4, the last ever, was also the first training exercise program to test the Joint Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses program initiated by the Department of Defense. The JSEAD premise has been used in other operations such as Operation Allied Force and Operations Northern and Southern Watch, but this is the first time it has been used in a controlled environment to test and evaluate its efficiency. During the JSEAD portion of the exercise, held the last two weeks of the six-week combat training, F-15E Strike Eagle crews incorporated the aerial skills they had learned during the first four weeks and added in the threat and mission of destroying surface-to-air missile sites.

In a few days I will have a web page running for this project.

You can email me if you want at michael.reed@atourcity.com if you want to help me research or if you want to be involved in any other way. I will credit people who helped on this. (this will be a lot of work if I will do this alone)

I decided to rename it from The Complete Boeing Guide to something like Electronic Aviation History Project. If you can come up with a better name, please brainstorm.

I am not that good with civilian aircraft. But you did say that you are planing on making a section for military aircraft, and if you need anything on the military part then I'm in.
Don't forget who I am, I can get valuable information.

Yes, I will try to make a searchable archive with everything about aviation - may it be historical aircraft, company profiles, technologies, modern and concept aircraft. It will get more comprehensive over the years, and the more people work on it, the faster we can catch up with history and add as much information as we can get, and continue to add as we go along and learn about new aircraft. So, try to take notes on any aircraft you wish and write a little essay or profile or whatever on it and submit it to me. When I get something new I added to the database I will post it on the main page of the website and put it on the website. Please make sure you include your sources and citations for everything so we are not plagiarizing (or however it's spelled). The sources should be in some sort of format like MLA or other common formats. Also, the information should at least include the most important of all information like stats, first flight, dates, and other information - if available. You can get started right away. Just make sure you tell me what you are working on so multiple people don't work on the same thing (right now it's just me and you - tell other people and ask if they are interested). I am working on the Boeing B&W Model 1. I also need to mention that it's not just Boeing anymore - it can be by any manufacturer.

Let's get down to business!

(there is no timelimit to anything, so take your time - I don't want to put anyone under pressure)

I guess I can put you in charge of Military craft then. I know more about civillian and commercial planes myself, I guess.

Was that a lot to write...


EDIT: I decided that it can also be in any language. If you write it in a different language make sure that you also write it in english. You can also translate already existent entries into whatever language you want. This way, (I won't be using them immediatly) I can make the database searchable in different languages. People from all over the world can use this tool to find the info they want. (first word has to be spread though)

Good idea. With SQL Databases I can store any type of data. I will look into it. If it's possible, can you turn in links for images for whatever plane you were working on, that way I don't have to spend extra time on that. (you can also scan pictures, if possible - there might be legal issues. I will contact Boeing.com for legal stuff for images and text)

The only other language that I know is Russian, if you wont I can try translating it (by it I mean the database, just the database, because it's very hard).

That's fine. I can translate into german. As more people with different nationalities join, we can become a multilingual project. There will only be more people who can work on this if word is spread, so just tell some friends and tell them to tell more people. Don't tell anyone untill I have domain though, because there would be no use if they can't access it. I will probably be able to start posting by the end of next week - I am getting a Novell Netware Client for remote desktop connection to the atourcity.com server. When I start working there I can start posting things there for free. (for now we will just have a folder like http://www.atourcity.com/aviation or something like that)

I guess that depends on the source. If it's ok with the source that you do that. I don't really know.... Do whatever you feel is right. The way I am doing it is that I write down some notes on a sheet of paper, and then write my own summary. (I didn't really do that for the Boeing Company thin)

Ok

Just send me an email with the links, not the pictures themesleves. (if you can get the link - you may just find the address of the page that has the pic on it if you don't know the address to the individiual picture)

It has a vertical engine so it can land vertically like a Harrier, but is not slow and bulky.
