I'm trying to run a Haydon slave clock from a 747 on a bench but I don't have the pulse generating time base. I suspect the pulse voltage is 24 VDC. Can anyone tell me the pulse frequency of this clock system used in the older 747s? Thanks Tom

Does any airline begin and end any flights within the USA???? If so, where to where?? I have always wanted to fly aboard a 747 and really want to fullfill that. Help anyone!! THANK YOU!!

a mechanic was working on a boeing 747 at the Pinal air park near Marana, Arizona, north of Tucson on west side of I-10 when the nose gear collapsed trapping the worker in the wheel well. workers had to use a crane to raise the aircraft and free the worker. he was transported to hospital in...

I've always wondered if this was possible. These look like proof-positive pics (they don't look like fakes). http://www.dauntless-soft.com/PRODUCTS/Freebies/AirForceOne/747lembobo.html Apologies if this was posted before (didn't show up on a Google search however). Marco Leon

Two things bothering me lately: 1. Sometimes when I autostart 2 and 3 after starting 1 and 4, I get an alarm as I pull the start switch or when I pull the start button. However, there's no message on the MFD or anything, so I can't figure out what they aircraft is complaining about. I haven't...

some questions if anyone knows the answers... is 757 fly by wire or fly by cable? The FMCS has full flight and landing capability, is it a separate control system? The FANS network, is it capable of directing "goto location/altitude" and "set airspeed to K" type commands to the plane?

Hello, On the 777, is the fuel management system, the transfer and selection of the main, aux. tanks, etc., "completely" automatic, or must switches be thrown like in the "old days" ? B.

Greetings all, Thought I'd pass on some shots that were taken of the 787 while it was being towed from the assembly hangar to get painted. Here is the link: http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/business/321458_dreamliner27ww.html Please click on the photo gallery link for all the available...

Hello, When they talk about 5.5 hrs ETOPS for the 787, is that figure, the full 5.5 hrs., for a 787 with one engine out ? Bob

This could be huge http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/ABPub/2007/09/17/2003889769.pdf

At approx. 12:25 ctd the Boeing 787 Dreamliner lifted off the runway for the first time. I was watching my local news channel during lunch at work and they decided to cut to live coverage of the maiden voyage just as the news was ending. I only saw about 10 seconds of the flight, from liftoff to...

Oh well, perhaps Boeing are going to fast in the development of the 787. http://www.tulsaworld.com/BusinessStory.asp?ID=060610_Bu_E1_Boein52489

NEW YORK — Boeing Co's (BA) new carbon-composite 787 Dreamliner plane may turn out to be unsafe and could lead to more deaths in crashes, according to a report by veteran journalist Dan Rather to be broadcast in the United States on Tuesday. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,297248,00.html

I noticed in all the publicity pictures of the 787 and 747-8 that the wings flex to the point that the tips are well above the top of the fuselage. Just a guess here, but is this due to the composite construction of the plane? I'm assuming the spar(s) are composite as well as the fuselage barrel....

Hi, Saw a side view of the new 787-10 right behind Trump the other day. There appeared (on the side) several greyed in circles with writing next to them, and also a circle without any writing. As they are on the side of the fus'l., am curious as to what they are for ?
