I mean crashing technically counts as a landing. We can use the rocketry term lithobraking to make it sound better.

Rapid unscheduled landing, as spacex would describe it

Boeing Engineers are sketching their new planes in Kerbal Space Program

What is your “technical” definition of “landing”?

[–] mitchty@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 year ago

On the ground in sone form. Successful needs the modifier.

Quite a few have hydrobraked

Any landing where you can walk away from the plane is a good landing.

Any landing where you can reuse the plane is a great landing.

There are more planes in the sea than there are boats in the air. Thibk about it.

I love this comment. Please don’t fix the typo.

some land harder than others

[–] phorq@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 year ago

Exactly, unlike hot air balloons (R.I.P. Moody's Mom)

But what if you see someth

Another senseless tragedy. Boeing sends thoughts and prayers to the family of littletranspunk

Trains are better than planes, because in the railroads, blowing a whistle is just a normal safety practice

Sure but what if they think it’s an approving clap vs horrified-for-my-life-now-relieved clap?

[–] NocturnalEngineer@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Add a firm but reassuring "Thank fuck for that! Now I can get off this death trap."

I flew on a Delta 737 with duct tape everywhere. Was delayed. Then an Airbus 321 and because of delay they shut off the engines. But then the auxiliary power unit wouldn't start to restart the engines and had to be towed back to the gate. I'm wondering who maintains thaes planes anymore, sketchy all around....

You know how every single industry is decaying and getting worse because organizations don't value the people who do the work and just amass wealth in the upper echelons of the enterprise?

Well they're doing it in the aerospace industry, too

Turkish Airlines now allows me to see the aircraft assinged to that flight, which makes it easy to avoid Boeing planes.

[–] thorbot@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

You’re assuming I wanted to survive the flight

Usually I boo when the plane lands safely. I want my class action payout or die trying.

That pfp is cool though.
