In the Production of the Osprey VTO is used as "Vertical Take Off" abreviation, and that's a Boeing project indeed

Yep, but it's still not a BCA! Your answer wasn't untrue, but it wasn't the one i was looking for

. "Volumetric top-Off" can be classified in ATA 28 (fuel). In wich ATA would you classify "Vertical Take Off"?

No Problemo, but next time you have to put the specification "BCA" in your initial question

here it is:

The 747-400ER can be equiped with 3 engine types (GE, PW, RR).

Q: what engine has the higher thrust, and how much?

Regards

Seb.

The PW engine with 281,57 kN thrust

HorsePower · Post by **HorsePower** » 16 Sep 2005, 10:16

It is effectively the PW engine, with 63,300lbs of thrust at T/O.

Your turn Chris!

Sorry about that!

Allright. On the following picture you can see a grey "bar" above the door.

I want to know why that "bar" is inclined the way it is and what the purpose of the "bar" is ?

Indeed you answered correctly to the second part of the question. The rail is placed there to prevent water to fall down. But why is it inclined that particular way ? If you look at doors on the back of planes you'll see that those rails have oher inclinations and on middle doors it's also different.

Another tip

Those rails have different inclinations on different airplane types ....
