Amazing how bombs and shells can still go boom after so many years. A shame more beneficial products can’t last as long.

The fact it went off now implies it failed to do so when intended. I doubt anyone who was involved with that particular bomb would view this as anything other than a failure. It’s the downside of Duds. To Quote Susan Ivonava form Babylon 5.
“No boom today!!!!! Boom tomorrow. always boom tomorrow... BOOM!!!”
The same for landmines, cluster munitions. These are the unintended consequences of a war often paid by those whom had nothing to do with it.

Babylon 5..... much more interesting than Star Trek Deep Space 9.
Also the CGI-special effects was really impressive for that time.
I have the feeling that most of Defencetalk members are around my age.....

"The AW609 has a rich history..." What they actually mean is "The AW609 has a very long history of endless development".
First flight was in 2003 and the certification and entry into service was planned to be somewhere in 2024....

Comac seems change ARJ-21 to C909. This means:
C909 : Regional Jet,
C919 : Single Aisle for Mid Range,
C929 : Double Aisle for Mid to Long Range.
Whether they will go with C939 to compete with 777-900 and A350-1000, remain to be seen.

I simply assumed the containers hit the engines while driving by or something. I did not expect that.
I'm more surprised that an immediate engine fire didn't occur

There are special rules for car traffic at airports. Aircrafts have always priority, and everything else have to wait to cross over until the aircraft is at a safe distance. If the aircraft is towed, then you do not need to wait as long as an aircraft on own power. Looking to the video it is quite obvious that the tug drivers (also the one in front of him) are the one violating the rules.

As no outside verification, off course the claim can be argue. Still this shown that Russia effort to speed up production of their civilian turbofan to closing the gap with Western Turbofan is gaining momentum.
PD-8 for Regional Jet,
PD-14 for Single Aisle Medium Range,
PD-35 for Double Aisle Long Range.
If this work, then perhaps we can see IL-96 being redevelop toward double engine version. Thus IL-96 can have current quad engine PS-90A version and double engine PD-35 one.

On previous post, I already link COMAC intention to rename ARJ-21 as C909. Now at Zhuhai it is offcial ARJ-21 now become C909. According to the article C909 bot just rebranding, however COMAC also make improvements on weight, noise and resistance to improve costs per seats performance.

A tragic accident in Buenos Aires. A small aircraft tried to land but the brake system malfunctioned, which caused the aircraft ending up at nearby houses. Both persons on board didn't survived.
