Aussie Aircraft Thread

Considering the safety issues and restrictions involved in shipping even small lithium batteries by air, I'll be interested to see how a plane powered entirely by lithium batteries can be made safe to fly.

So negative.

 

Good point, because fuel and oil never catch fire.

 

I've noticed that too, yet despite airplanes running on flammable Jet fuel or Avags, airlines and regulators seem to take exception to Lithium batteries.

 

Like on fchat, there are people who have trouble accepting change.

I'll keep an ion him to be sure

 

Try not to confuse “accepting change” with reality.

Despite clueless people’s (understandable) enthusiasm, we are decades away from passenger airline flights on batteries, beyond a couple of hundred km with a couple of dozen passengers at most.

At best with regards to real airliners travelling real distances, in your lifetime there’ll be “sustainable” (lol) fuel used in what are essentially the same turbine engines powering the same family of aircraft as now.

Maybe you have trouble accepting that, but it’s the truth.

 

It's pretty clear they're talking about small commuter planes 10-12 passengers plus/or freight. No one said anything different.

I suspect the issue is more because the lithium batteries carried on by (some idiots) aren’t controlled/maintained/in serviceable condition etc, rather than any inherent danger. I don’t think you can carry an ordinary car battery o to a plane either.

 

Depends which Terminal you go through Karen. [emoji16][emoji16]

 

Oh ffs

 

[emoji16] Don't be so negative.

 

Whilst sitting around in Melbourne yesterday I noticed that Gayry had flown his DC-3 into town.
Lovely thing.

For those who drive past Marulan on the Hume Hwy, and have noticed grass strip, a Corby Starlet on a Post and the stab from a Cessna sticking out of the ground.
Well they are going to be joined by a written off Piper Cheyenne on a pole. Local Pharmacist owns the property

 

Best aviation headphones?

So just wondering if this Cessna 172 is still around ?

The Silver Cloud 11 sitting in a shed I guess somewhere..?

You're supposed to fly the Drone from the ground. [emoji16]

 

Yes but I want to hear it better

Where are the pilots when you need them?

Must have their headphones on. [emoji41]
