The black windshield mask is actually a good look. It makes the jet look a lot sleeker. Air Canada has actually included the look in their new livery and I think it looks clean.
It's just such a joy listening to you. This fluent style of "free" talking is super rare on aviation videos, being a non native speaker no less. Kudos!
@@sqwk2559 Interestingly, Ford decided that only several years after starting model T production - at first, there were multiple colors available, not even including black, and only then switch to all-black happened.
That Banana catch, surely, puts you into the pool of consideration for the next James Bond. That was so smooth, even 007 would have preferred it stirred rather than shaken.
I think the black-lined windshield looks amazing. Kudos for Airbus for coming up with an engineering solution that not only works but also looks cool (like those winglets!)
I‘ve recently read that „the black color helps to reduce maintenance costs. When replacing a cockpit panel, chipping is a common occurrence around the edges. These are easier to paint over with the universal black than if you have to find the airline's exact fuselage color every time. In addition, the border helps to compensate for temperature differences. This reduces the forces on the windows. Cracks are less likely to occur.“
Can you please tell me how many times did you do the retakes for the banana short.... LoL... But on a serious note I can understand the hard work and effort u make on each and every video.. lots of love captain ❤️❤️
I subscribe to 74gear also and he says you are as nice and courteous in real life as you are in your videos and I can definitely see that! Keep up the great work Joe, I enjoy listening to you!
@3:39 I love how you catch the banana without even looking at it. LOL! (I never thought I would ever say that in an aviation video). Oh yeah, and the rest of the video was really good too.
Nice video Captain.. I remember that you once said in a video about the A350 when it just came out: “after this video you will always think about the Beagle Boys whenever you see an A350. Sorry for that, haha.” Ever since that video you did when the A350 launched, I’ve always been thinking about the Beagle Boys.. haha
You might get his attention morr if you were a little more specific. The setting aren't the same on all Boeing or airbus. So ex 747 and the 737 not same power or the a350 and a380 also not the same. Just a suggestion but i do like your video request
Did Ford paint the outside of Transit windscreens for the same reason? And, were they specially trained aerodynamic bananas? 😃 Great video Joe, thank you! 😃
Great explanation of how temperature impacts the ductility of materials. I used the same idea with fish fingers to get my head around it for an engineering exam!
Thank you very much for solving this and so many other questions. You really have a gifted soul for being a great instructor! All the best and stay safe!!!!!
Thanks for this great video ! Just a question, I thought that the average 787 is significantly smaller in PAX than the average A350. If this true, then they are not direct competitor...
Yes you are correct. In terms of technology you can say they are direct competitors as they are the latest models (which are not a derivate of a previous one) But in terms of size and capacity, the A350 is larger than the 787
The A350 isn't really a direct competitor to the 787. Especially not size wise. The A350 is a bigger aircraft overall. The 787-10 and A359 do have a similar capacity but they are in a different range category. 787-8, 787-9 and A350-1000 don't compete with Any counterpart. A350 is more a 777 successor.
@@gabmx505 The 727 gets my vote for most handsome commercial aircraft still in service. Old and inefficient and on the brink of complete retirement, but the design is still elegant and athletic almost 60 years after introduction
@@TheNasaDude Not bad. In my opinion though, the L-1011 & DC-10 look better than the 727. I definitely think the A350 looks the best though. Especially on takeoff with the landing gear out.
Living in Toulouse and having lots of relatives engineers at Airbus, myself being a pilot; it is widely believed even at Airbus that the reason why the a350 got his mask was because the new window shape was too ugly coming off the assembly line. Having a mask that hid the shape underneath made it better looking; some engineer found a plausible scientific reason why the mask got implemented (honestly ? They try to fix a non existing problem) and all A350s rolled out like that. The mask then got popular and Airbus decided to put it on all it’s new lineup.
Yes, it is mainly a marketing stunt. The black looks awfull in combination with airline liveries that do not use black. The windows design looks awfull compared to the sleek four window design of the 787.
@@ACPilot The original A350 XWB had a different nose and windows profile but Airbus reverted to the A380 nose and cockpit windows profile to accommodate the avionics bay and landing gear requirements. I personally don't mind the current window config but I think it looks nicer without the black shade🙏
auch wenn es kein technisches Video war, ist es einfach schön, weil das so eine der kleinen Fragen war, die ich mir schon selber gestellt habe. In dem Sinne thx :)
The a350 is just the most perfect plane out there. With it’s beautiful engine sound, it’s beautiful exterior design, it’s interior design, it’s cockpit, how modern it is, how safe it is, how advanced it is. Just perfect!
@@SeanDych3 actually, the a350 is more advanced in terms of years because the 777x is more or less like the a350 and the a350 came out in 2013 and still is super advanced. Not that I don’t like the 777x, it’s an awesome aircraft it just that Boeing is a bit behind.
Really great vid. Agree that most passengers won’t give any thought to the aircraft but I 100% care about what aircraft I am flying on, especially for long-haul flight. The improvement that, say, the Dreamliner brought to how much fresher I felt after a long flight is well worth seeking out. It defined which airline I flew and which flights I chose for any given trip.
I loved the video Joe! Also I will definitely check out that calendar as you can see by my answers below I definitely need one!!! 1: Without Question 2: Definitely 3: Oh Yeah 4: Yeah!
Brought the same question up to a 350 CA that was jumpseating on my plane about 2 years ago. They had a manufacturer show and tell with initial new pilots when they started implementing the new fleet. Anyway, he asked an Airbus engineer that day the same question and no kidding said “because we thought it would look good/cool”. Take it for what it is, but was keenly interested in your video when it popped up because of this! Thanks!
That was a good catch Joe. 👏👏👏. The sunglasses window look on planes has always seemed odd to me. It looks like it's trying to be a bad to the bone plane. It just needs a piercing in the nose and a tattoo on the wing.😂😂😂😂😂
I do like that calendar. Unfortunately my desk is full of yoke throttle AP panel radio. I don’t have space enough for a calendar. Is there a digital copy?
The 787 and the a350 are not direct competitors at all, their sizes are very different. The biggest variant of the 787 competes whith the smallest a350
Please replay me I want to study for pilot I am in grade 8 in future pilot well drive the plane or in future everything is autopilot ? Please replay me
@@paradox_joo9998 MEL stands for Minimum Equipment List, which specifies what things in an aircraft must be working in order to fly. Many aircraft are allowed to fly with some non-critical equipment not functioning, but certain critical parts must be working in order to be legally allowed to fly.
I guess Airbus wants to distinguish A350 from the B787 by using the mask, because without it, both aircraft are identical to anyone who is not an aviation geek.
The A350 competes with the 777 in terms of size. The largest 787 is still significantly smaller than the smallest A350 - they are not in direct competition actually.
How bad is a hot window framed by cold metal? How much hotter is a black frame compared to a white frame at FL 360?

Especially at night, the black will not heat up at all. And I wonder if it does heat up given all the airflow around it. Perhaps if it was insulating paint it could, but would be rather thick paint then.
So why didn't all other manufacturers start immediately to imitate the mask, if it is so critical? And even the other FLAT windows on the other Airbus planes get masks? They didn't need them for decades. So its obviously just an aesthetic thing by Airbus, nothing else.
The conditions differ from aircraft to aircraft, but from what I know, max flaps gives the best landing performance (slower speed, shorter landing distance) whereas landing with less flaps gives better fuel efficiency and better go around performance (so its more suited for stormy weather, provided the runway is long enough)
All right, that banana catch without breaking your pacing was excellent.
It sure was
Happy you like it😉

How bad is a hot window framed by cold metal? How much hotter is a black frame compared to a white frame at FL 360? My guess is the colour of the frame does not cause a significant improvement, at least not so much that it cannot be solved by any other conventional means such as more advanced insulation and sealing between the window and the frame. The black mask is just a marketing ploy, in my humble opinion. I do not agree with you on this one, dear Captain Joe.
Especially at night, the black will not heat up at all. And I wonder if it does heat up given all the airflow around it.
Perhaps if it was insulating paint it could, but would be rather thick paint then.

Hey can you make a video on landing flaps to explain if they use max flaps to land or different depending on weight and weather conditions.
The conditions differ from aircraft to aircraft, but from what I know, max flaps gives the best landing performance (slower speed, shorter landing distance) whereas landing with less flaps gives better fuel efficiency and better go around performance (so its more suited for stormy weather, provided the runway is long enough)
