Flight/Planes


From the article:

He says this was done to save time, because "Boeing South Carolina is strictly driven by schedule and cost".

Every program is driven by cost and schedule, that's Management 101. The key to a safe, effective program is to make your schedule event driven, not calendar driven. That way your project milestones are completed efforts, not dates.

I don't doubt the claims of the "whistleblower," but he should have documentation to back up those claims. I kept a "Pearl Harbor file" on every program I worked in my career to protect myself in the event things went to s**t.

A former colleague sent me this photo of the mishap aircraft. Looks like the a/c came to rest inverted with it's gear still down. May have flipped if it ran off the runway.

Attendees at an aviation conference in China enjoyed a breathtaking display of hundreds of LED drones that took to the skies to form various 'ghost' aircraft. The amazing show reportedly unfolded last week in the city of Nanchang as part of their annual Flight Convention where cutting-edge aircraft are showcased. This year's festivities culminated with the dramatic and creative drone performance that left onlookers in awe.

Initially resembling fireflies filling the night sky, a total of 800 LED drones powered up and launched into the air. The UAVs quickly came together to form fairly detailed and well-crafted depictions of various aircraft, including a jumbo jet, a helicopter, and a classic propeller plane. Aside from being a wondrous display of drone capabilities, the performance serves as further proof that it's only going to get increasingly harder to discern what one is watching should they spot something seemingly out-of-this-world in the sky.
