More cracks in scarebus wings

Looks like a beautiful place, Von. Are all those hangars his for keeping planes in?

Lol! That looks wonderful. The perfect place to build a plane and fly it!


Here's that show I mentioned. Love all those exotic experimentals...

wow thanks for sharing that!

It is.  He is in Fincastle, VA

He only has two planes that I know of.  The original Bearhawk (4-place) and the Bearhawk Patrol (2-place tandem)

The other hangers are for his buddies planes.  He is also an engine builder and has a fly-in/BBQ once a year for all the folks that have, or are building, one of his planes.

Cool stuff

They might be down playing it like every other aircraft manufacturer would, but I for one am glad Airbus is taking action before their aircraft is shown on Discovery Channel's Aircrash Investigation.

I don't need to proove to you what I've already bothered to proove to myself.  For starters, you could at the least dispose of enough of your precious time to invest in learning what a wing rib is, like most of us have.

hmm so those accident reports include things like airstrikes of birds and such. Not just failures of some sort.


Maybe I missed it... was the french flight in there too? I believe that one was pilot error so if it is then they include that also.

Seems it would require more indepth analysis to dig out the actual failures of the aircraft involved.

Here's the most recent published one from boeing's analysis team that I can find, published in 2009 on 1959-2008 statistics:  http://www.boeing.com/aboutus/govt_ops/reports_white_papers/commercial_jet_airplane_accidents_statistical_summary.pdf

I figure it'll be until the middle of this year that the statistics from 2011 to be updated anywhere.

Thanks.

My point being that with pilot error it does not matter what aircraft they are in. Granted some recover better than others, some are overridden by poor piloting.

That is the biggest variable that the best and safest engineering feats cannot predict or factor into their equations
