    I am a former Vueling cabin crew, so I've almost burst into tears watching one of "my" NEOs landing in my beautiful, old base. Working in those planes is such a delightful experience. No noise at all. You can pretty much hear any whisper. I hope I can become a pilot soon, so that I can hop back inside these beautiful machines that planes are...

      You've never heard this from me, but you can "mask" the scratches in any plastic by wiping them with water. Works for warped glass too. Like in old timey hour meters, if you couldn't read the count right, you could use a bit of water to make the glass "transparent" (i know, sounds odd).

      Moving the camera lens very close to the glass while focusing further out will blur the scratches to the point of almost invisibility. Also the scratches being in the shade will reduce their effect.

      The NEO Pratt and Whitney (A320) is bigger and quieter than the CFM Leap (both 737MAX and A320). I used to travel on the older models with the CFM56. Dear god. Once from India to Dubai. My ears hurt. Then I traveled the same distance (to the south of India) on a flight with the Pratt and Whitney geared turbofan engine. It was like a washing machine. Pretty silent.
      In Comparison the old CFM56 sounded like a WW1 propeller plane.

      Most of the air is directed forward at about a 40° angle, but each of the Cascade vane panels is slightly different.
      For example the Cascade vanes that are on the underside of the engine tend to direct the air out more sideways so as not to blow debris on the runway into the engine intake.

    @David-tm4yj 3 роки тому

    Don't worry when you see the door open, it's using the cold air not the exhaust. The combustion part of the aircraft engine is much smaller than you think, the engine uses compressor fan blades to compress and increase the efficiency of the engine. So it's compressed ducted air blown forwards to decelerate the aircraft, manual brakes are only used when you get to the stand / gate.
