blue on a plane!!!???

 

In my engineering materials class on Tuesday we were talking about material defects and fatigue stress causing airliners to drop out of the sky. Did you know that there is no fatigue limit for aluminum? And that no matter how low the stresses are, the material will eventually yield to to stress after enough cycles?

You'll be totally safe.

 

@Booley: why you throwing so much shade on me bruh? I thought we lovey long time?

 

ded sexy.

 

Luckily they have figured out fatigue limits on aircraft (through trial and error): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aloha_Airlines_Flight_243

Just have to hope blue isn't on a 787 where they have ventured into new materials.

 

Well that's easy. Southwest = 737.

They fly only one aircraft to reduce costs.

Cliffs: bloo flying on the aluminum nightmare.

 

(PS: We looked at this in class.)

 

still 10x safer than driving

 

you guys are taking all the fun out of this.

 

Thanks! Good luck on your new job(s).
(too lazy to read the wiki right now)

Wasn't the root cause that they didn't factor in the number of compression/decompression cycles on a plane that was only used on very short flights?

 

Basically they weighed flight hours more importantly than compression/decompression cycles, even though it was almost like 3:1 (cycles to hours). So it's a pretty clinical example of accumulated low stress cycles causing a material (aluminum) to yield/fracture.

 

As an AZ in the Navy I had to keep track of flight hours for every single piece and part of every F/A-18 we had in our command. Pretty much a fancy records custodian lol.

 

BRUH you know the F1 teams do the same **** right? Why aren't you and the fam in the UK sending us cool team ****?

Since I know a man loves to count the pennies saved, enjoy:

 

if it's a boeing i ain't going

 

o rly?

 

who wants to build a paper f1 model?

or Civic?

Blue - Have you flown before? I can't remember from previous discussions.
Airbus got dem Recaros.

 

Just skip the Malaysian Airlines and you'll be aight.

 

Hope not.

Hopefully he's on that Singapore Airlines tip. Along with Emirates they're top of the tables.

 

The fuuuhhh. The hell have I been doing these past 5 years then :/

 

safest airline ... in the world

right now

 

 

My boy is an engineer in Daytona. Has super hot wife that's an RN and he drives a bad *** ISF and has a 500whp turbo teg in his garage. But he must be in the 1% of engineers who are happy.

 

happy is not often a word i hear to describe engineers
