This model made its first flight on December 20, 1957 (2). This jet was able to accommodate up to 181 passengers and travel a range of 4800 kilometers.

between the operator and the pilots. When investigated these crashes bring about interesting phenomena about noise and how easily it can be an affecting factor of communication.

One of the most unique, and fear inspiring aircraft is the E-4B NAOC (National Airborne Operations Center) Nightwatch. These planes, four specially configured Boeing 747-200s, possess a unique and somewhat eerie job. It may not have impressive payload characteristics like the large bombers, or the advanced attack weaponry on nimble fighter…

Recalling the statistics from Boeing, civil aviation has a success rate of about 99% (Statistical Summary, 2014). For this reason, it is easy to fall into the trap of being unprepared in the event that the unthinkable happens, and there is a major accident involving the organization’s aircraft. If the accident takes place in the United States, the NTSB will deploy a “Go Team” to begin investigating the accident. If the accident takes place in another country, the NTSB will most likely be…

The Airbus A380 is not only quiet but is spacious, it is able to comfortably seat 500 plus passengers; around 100 more than the Boeing 747. The Airbus A380 is 239 feet long, 79 feet high, and a wingspan of 262 giving it a maximum takeoff weight of 650 tons; lighter than a Boeing 747 (Airbus A380). It means it is wide enough to give passengers space to move around and light enough and economical enough to fly over 700 miles further than the 747(Grabianowski, Ed). So that means less takeoffs and…
