Re: Plane Spotters Corner
The future of flying?
Quote:
An aircraft with a lace-like structure may not seem like the best way to fly, but it is one of a range of radical ideas about how we may travel in the future.
A model of the aircraft, designed by Airbus, was shown off at the TEDGlobal conference in Edinburgh.
Taking inspiration from the human skeleton, the design is both strong and relatively lightweight.
This means it could, in theory, drastically reduce the fuel costs of flying.
The European company said the aim would be to 3D print the composite material that would make the structure.
The concept aircraft was created by a team of structural engineers at Airbus.

Re: Plane Spotters Corner
There has been a 'problem' on an Egyptair 777 from Cairo to New York.
Quote:
Police are in attendance at a Scottish airport after a plane was diverted from Egypt on its way to the USA.
A spokesman for Prestwick Airport confirmed that the flight from Cairo to JFK in New York had been diverted.
The A79 has been closed "until further notice" by police and ScotRail's website notes that shuttle buses between the airport and Glasgow have been suspended.

Clearly a fake, the jet wash coming of that would damage the building.
Plus the flaps aren't deployed, thus cgi from somebody who knows squat about 747s
