it's kind of old, but it would be cool to see one _real_ plane like that!! don't know if there can be a computer simulation made for that engine size!
Watched code never compiles.

I would hate to be anywhere around that engine when they throttled up and lost all the blades.

That is what Boeing marketing people came up with, admittedly in a hurry, in order to solve the current air traffic situation; the airplane is meant to suck up volcano ashes by flying straight in the no-go zone. Note how the two pilots are in separate cabins far apart to improve the probability of at least one of them seeing where they are going. :)

No idea - seems to have been designed by committee, though :)

To improve safety they ensured built in redundancy. um. Except for the engine.

And the engineer who snarfed that up got builtin redundancy immediately.

We missed our calling in life there, Douggie - we should have become committee-based aeroplane designers and airline proprietors.
