Zurich Airport, CH (No. 2)

The airport has three airside piers, which are known as terminals A, B, and E (also signposted as Gates A, B/D, and E). These are linked to a central air-side building called Airside Centre, built in 2003. Alongside the Airside Centre, the ground-side terminal complex named Airport Centre comprises several buildings, and includes airline check-in areas, a shopping mall, a railway station, car parks, and a bus and tram terminal. All departing passengers access the same departure level of the Airside Centre, which includes duty-free shopping and various bars and restaurants, via airport security. They are then segregated between passengers for Schengen and non-Schengen destinations on the way to the gate lounges, with the latter first passing through emigration controls. Arriving Schengen and non-Schengen passengers are handled in separate areas of the Airside Centre and reach it by different routes, with non-Schengen passengers first passing through immigration controls.

John Barnett had worked for Boeing for 32 years, until his retirement in 2017.

In the days before his death, he had been giving evidence in a whistleblower lawsuit against the company.

Boeing said it was saddened to hear of Mr Barnett's passing. The Charleston County coroner confirmed his death to the BBC on Monday.

It said the 62-year-old had died from a "self-inflicted" wound on 9 March and police were investigating.

Mr Barnett had worked for the US plane giant for 32 years, until his retirement in 2017 on health grounds.

From 2010, he worked as a quality manager at the North Charleston plant making the 787 Dreamliner, a state-of-the-art airliner used mainly on long-haul routes.

10 Fascinating Facts About Aviation You Didn't Know

Aviation has always been a field filled with wonder and discovery. From the early days of flight to the advanced technology we see today, aviation continues to captivate our imagination. Whether you're an aviation enthusiast, a frequent flyer, or someone simply interested in how airplanes work, there are many fascinating facts that might surprise you. In this blog post, we'll explore ten intriguing facts about aviation, shedding light on the remarkable history, technology, and people behind the scenes.

1. The Wright Brothers' Historic Flight

Most people know that Orville and Wilbur Wright made the first powered flight in 1903, but what many don’t realize is that it lasted only 12 seconds and covered just 120 feet. This monumental achievement in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, was the beginning of human flight, paving the way for the aviation industry as we know it today.

2. The Largest Passenger Aircraft

The Airbus A380 holds the title of the largest passenger aircraft in the world. It can carry up to 850 passengers in an all-economy configuration and typically features two full-length passenger decks. Its massive size and advanced technology make it a marvel of modern engineering, demonstrating just how far aviation has come since the Wright brothers’ era.

3. The World’s First Commercial Flight

The world’s first commercial airline flight took place on January 1, 1914. The St. Petersburg-Tampa Airboat Line flew a route across Tampa Bay, Florida, with a fare of $5, which is equivalent to about $150 today. This flight marked the beginning of a new era in transportation, setting the stage for commercial aviation to become a global phenomenon.

4. Air Traffic Control

The concept of air traffic control was born in the 1920s. The first air traffic control tower was established at Cleveland Hopkins International Airport in 1930. Today, air traffic controllers play a crucial role in ensuring the safety and efficiency of air travel, managing thousands of flights daily across the globe.

5. The Invention of the Black Box

The black box, formally known as the flight data recorder (FDR) and cockpit voice recorder (CVR), was invented in the 1950s. This device records critical flight information and cockpit conversations, helping investigators understand the causes of accidents. Interestingly, the black box is not actually black; it’s bright orange to make it easier to locate after an incident.

6. Aviation Fuel Efficiency

Modern aircraft are much more fuel-efficient than their predecessors. For instance, the Boeing 787 Dreamliner is designed to use 20% less fuel than older models. This improvement is achieved through advanced materials and technologies that optimize aerodynamics and reduce weight. As the aviation industry continues to innovate, we can expect even more significant advancements in fuel efficiency.

7. The Role of Flight Attendants

Flight attendants are often seen as the friendly faces of an airline, but their job goes far beyond serving snacks and drinks. They are trained to handle emergencies, provide first aid, and ensure passenger safety. Their role is vital, as they are the first line of defense in ensuring that flights operate smoothly and safely.

8. Airplanes Are Equipped to Fly Without Pilots

While it might sound like science fiction, many modern airplanes have sophisticated autopilot systems that can fly the aircraft without human intervention. These systems can handle everything from takeoff to landing, though pilots remain crucial for monitoring and controlling the aircraft. The advancements in automation have made air travel safer and more efficient.

9. The Effect of Weather on Aviation

Weather plays a significant role in aviation safety and operations. Pilots must be aware of various weather conditions, such as turbulence, thunderstorms, and fog. For example, thunderstorms can create severe turbulence and lightning hazards, leading to flight delays or diversions. Understanding weather patterns is an essential skill for pilots and air traffic controllers alike.

10. The Future of Aviation

The future of aviation is promising, with advancements in technology leading to the development of electric and hybrid aircraft. Companies are investing in research and development to create eco-friendly planes that reduce carbon emissions. As global awareness of climate change grows, the aviation industry is working to adapt and innovate to meet environmental challenges.

Sometimes I just keep a tab open for real-time flight data (fantasy-booking future vacations), and something just caught my attention. There's a Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner that took off from Newark this morning and was scheduled to land in... Newark. That's a large commercial plane that can seat almost 300 people, so this isn't just some private jet jaunt. I wonder if this was some kind of test run because if it was an emergency/malfunction they probably would've been routed to a closer airport rather than just coming right back.

My life as a artist and inspiration for making fanart!

It all started when i was 3, i remember ive been drawing a lot of stickmans cuz they just were very easy to draw and it was like some kind of "stickman stories or fantasy idk?" And i seen to end up enjoying it but not only that, i would later draw sirens and other stuff i was fascinated to, and i kept drawing stickmans until later on i then would finally get my braincells to regenerate and make myself more mature, i stopped drawing stickmans all the time, i started to get into oc! And other kinds of art style and i would as of today draw whatever i had a idea on my head for the near future and many more years to come!

Inspiration

I saw a fanmade animation of where a video is called aging which was a edit from a youtuber named whoamiedits

This is what it looks like:

I saw that video but i didnt clicked on it cuz idk whats about to happen there, i was just more into anime and i didnt know what that video was, it was like somekind of randon animation, that was my first thing i saw something related to omori before joining the fandom and i saw it to this day and i was like "wait that video looks familiar to me" it was back in 2021 when i saw it and omori was like 1 years old, but then after joining the fandom after watching a mclovin video but omori version and i seen to enjoy the fandon, i was a big kny fan by the time, and theres was very popular stuff going on in the fandom, but when did i got into omori fanart? It all started with the first ever one i posted, i originally used it for my art class i then i did not recognize.... I actually made a actual omori fanart and that surprised me! So then i decided to make more! And it made me happy and even thanks to art class, it also helped me more! And it was a great piece of thing I will ever do I will still make art to this day and thats where are are today!

Alright enough yapping me :/

Russian stealth hunting Su-57 is ready for export

Announcement was made by FSMTC employees at the Dubai Air Show.

Fernando Valduga By Fernando Valduga 11/14/2023 - 08:31am Dubai Air Show, Military

Russia is ready to receive export orders for its Su-57 poaching after completing its development program.

Officials of the Federal Service for Military-Technical Cooperation (FSMTC) declared at the ongoing Dubai Air Show that, "if our foreign partners contact us, we are ready to start working on this topic". They noted that several customers are already showing “growing interest” in Su-57 aircraft.

Since the end of 2022, the Russian Aerospace Forces have received three batches of Su-57, most of which are actively involved in the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. Notably, some of these aircraft have the latest 'Product 30' engine, also recognized as the 'second stage', improving the thrust and super crucing capabilities of the stealth jet.

The Su-57 launches missiles and bombs from its internal compartment - an exclusive feature shared only by a few selected aircraft around the world.

In the field of fifth-generation aircraft available for export, the Russian Su-57 is next to the F-35 as a singular competitor.

Rostec's recent announcement announces the start of the 5ª generation Su-57 serial multifunctional fighter equipment with 2º stage post-combustion turbojet engines, labeled as 'Product 30'. With a post-combustion thrust of 18,000 kgf and a maximum thrust of 11,000 kgf, this advance amplifies the thrust-to-weight ratio of vehicles by 1.2 times (increasing from 1.13 to 1.36 kgf/kg with normal takeoff weight with 63% fuel).

This improvement translates into an increased ascent rate, ranging from 330 to 340-350 m/s, along with an increase in angular velocity during constant curves. In addition, it raises the service ceiling and supersonic cruise flight speed to 2,150-2,200 km/h and the maximum speed to an impressive 2,600-2,700 km/h.

Notably, the engines at the center of this advance were created by the team of the JSC Salyut Gas Turbine Research and Production Center.

From NBC News:

March 12, 2024, 7:43 AM EDT / Updated March 13, 2024, 4:19 AM EDT

By Mithil Aggarwal, Peter Guo and Matteo Moschella

A passenger has told NBC News about the dramatic incident in which people aboard a Boeing flight were thrown into the ceiling, as authorities probed what caused the plane's sudden mid-air plunge.

More than a dozen people were rushed to the hospital Monday and at least 50 were injured when a LATAM Airlines flight traveling from Sydney to Auckland, New Zealand, experienced a “strong shake,” officials said.

Authorities in New Zealand said Tuesday they were seizing the black boxes from the Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner, which had been due to continue on to Santiago, Chile.

"Everything was going well," said passenger Brian Jokat, who was sitting in a window seat as the flight headed toward New Zealand. “Then, all of a sudden, the plane took a nosedive down.”

“People were flying out of their seats, hitting the roof, being thrown back four or five aisles back,” Jokat, 61, said in a telephone interview.

Jokat said that while he had his seat belt on, the passenger in the aisle seat of his row didn’t.

“I saw him lying on the ceiling looking down at me,” he said. “He was fully out-stretched,” Jokat said. “And then, bang, I looked behind and everyone was falling off the ceilings.”

Jokat said the seat belt, which he rarely wears at cruising altitude, saved him from the injuries.

“But those days are over. I will always keep my seat belt on,” he said. “Because what I saw in that plane was people flying like rag dolls.”

LATAM Airlines Flight LA800 was carrying 263 passengers and nine crew members, the Santiago-based airline said in a statement Tuesday. The flight landed at its scheduled time of 4:26 p.m. Monday (11:26 p.m. Sunday ET) in Auckland after its 2-hour, 42-minute flight.

The plane "experienced a strong shake whose causes are being investigated," the airline said.

Emergency services treated about 50 patients, 12 of whom were taken to the hospital, New Zealand’s emergency medical service provider, Hato Hone St John Ambulance, said in a statement Monday.

The airline said that most of those were discharged shortly after and that only two people needed medical attention, “but without any life-threatening risks.”

The pilot told the passengers the plane had suffered equipment failure for a few seconds, causing it to drop for almost 500 feet in the air, Jokat said. “He said, ‘My gauges went down; everything went down for one or two seconds, and they just lit up again and continued to function,’” Jokat added.

“Some people broke right through the ceiling. So you can see all the wires inside,” Jokat said.

New Zealand’s Transport Accident Investigation Commission said on Tuesday it was seizing the cockpit voice recorder and flight data recorder of a LATAM Airlines (LTM.SN) Boeing (BA.N) 787 after an incident that left more than 50 people injured.

New Zealand’s Transport Accident Investigation Commission, which is investigating, said in a statement Tuesday that it was “seizing the cockpit voice and flight data recorders.”

Chile has appointed a representative to participate in the investigation, the Chilean aviation authority said Monday on X.

"We are thinking of the passengers and crew from LATAM Airlines Flight 800, and we commend everyone involved in the response effort," Boeing said in a statement Tuesday, adding that it was in "contact with our customer" and will support "investigation-related activities."

The plane manufacturer has been under fire for multiple safety incidents and technical snags in recent months.

Most notably, the door panel of an Alaska Airlines flight blew out midair over Portland, Oregon, on Jan. 5, prompting a criminal investigation by the Justice Department.

Last week, a tire came off a United Airlines flight shortly after it took off from San Francisco, hitting cars parked near the airport.

A Boeing 737-900 plane flown by United Airlines made an emergency landing in Texas after bright orange flames were seen shooting out of its engine.

And an investigation is underway after another Boeing-made plane flown by United suffered “stuck” rudder pedals at Newark Airport in New Jersey last month.

Zurich Airport, CH (No. 1)

Zurich Airport (German: Flughafen Zürich) (IATA: ZRH, ICAO: LSZH) is the largest international airport of Switzerland and the principal hub of Swiss International Air Lines. It serves Zürich, Switzerland's largest city, and, with its surface transport links, much of the rest of the country. The airport is located 13 kilometres (8 mi) north of central Zürich, in the municipalities of Kloten, Rümlang, Oberglatt, Winkel, and Opfikon, all of which are within the canton of Zürich.

Construction works began on 5 May 1946 with the diversion of the Altbach stream. The 1,900 m (6,234 ft) long West Runway 10/28 was the first runway which was opened on 14 June 1948, and on which the first Swissair Douglas DC-4 took off for London. On behalf of the canton as airport owner, Cantonal Councillor Jakob Kägi gave a speech to mark the inauguration of the new runway and the start of provisional flight operations. Shortly after, on 17 November 1948, the 2,600 m (8,530 ft) long blind runway 16/34 (runway with instrument landing system) was opened for operation, which was attended by the seven members of the cantonal government. In the presence of invited guests from politics and the media as well as representatives of the construction companies and airlines, the new airport was inaugurated, which meant that the relocation of the entire civil flight operations from Dübendorf to Kloten had already been completed and full operation could begin at the new Zurich Airport.

The 1,535 m (5,036 ft) long Bisen runway 02/20, which belonged to the three-runway system of 1948, was of little importance. Due to the applicable crosswind regulations at that time, the runway was designed to face the Bise in order to guarantee the airport's all-weather capability. However, the ICAO increased the crosswind tolerances for aircraft in subsequent revisions to such an extent that the runway was decommissioned after just over ten years.
