If James may had to service that engine it would take 30 years. 10 years to organize the spanners and 8 years to read the manual and 12 years for the service.

James May would be talking about every part of the engine in so extreme detail that it would take 100 years for him to explain how it works.

They should have shown that the planes can carry tanks, two of them I believe and then some. I got a ride in a Galaxy during one of my tours over in Iraq. The inside of the plane is like walking into a High School basketball court. The space inside is incredible.

The C-5 was a horrible boondoggle of a project, over budget, behind schedule, and under performing. (Part of this was on congress and DOD, not just Lockheed) The C-5 max normal-service load was reduced by a third in the late 70s because of major fatigue issue in the primary frame. (they can still use original design load for emergency service but then need more inspecting and have reductions in service life) The c-17 is a much better plane, the C-5 is retained only as a reserve for use with over-sized cargo, if they can use two C-17s instead of one C-5 they will just to keep the hours low on the remaining C-5 fleet.

I can remember when the first two centre fuselages for F/A18 production arrived at Avalon in a C5 back in the 1980'3. It is an imposing beasty of an aircraft. i remember the loadmaster asking how high we wanted the aircraft to enable unloading. We said said leave it where it is as our unloader was adjustable for height. It was the first one the loadmaster had seen and we had borrowed it off Qantas.

"42 tons of Air ", How can air be weighed or measured ? Pls don't crucify me ,I'm not a science guy.
@uweinhamburg3 жыл бұрын
The easiest way to weigh air is really simple. You take a gas bottle (like the ones for a camping cooker) fill it with air (just let the valve open), close the valve and then weigh the gas bottle. Then you pump out the air, close the valve and weigh it again. The difference is the air that you have pumped out. You can measure the volume of the gas bottle and there you have the weight of air per liter. Under normal pressure and temperatures air weighs around 1.2g. First measurements with that methods are from ~1650
