Boeing 747-8F Performs Ultimate Rejected Take-off
Imagine you're driving at the maximum speed allowed on a major highway and you have to suddenly stop the car. In April, a fully-loaded 747-8 Freighter with worn-out brakes attempted an aborted takeoff on a California runway. The rejected takeoff or maximum brake energy test is one of the most dramatic for a new airplane. It's basically what Boeing test pilot Captain Kirk Vining had to do recently with the new 747-8 Freighter during one of the most dramatic airplane certification tests. However, instead of a 4000-pound (1815 kilograms) car, the 747-8 weighed in at close to one million pounds. "In the emergency event that we have to make a rejected takeoff at these heavy weights, it takes a long distance for the airplane to stop," says Capt. Vining. The Boeing 747-8 Intercontinental and 747-8 Freighter are the new, high-capacity 747s that offer the lowest operating costs and best economics of any large passenger or freighter airplane. Both are on track to make their first deliveries later this year after certification. To simulate the ultimate rejected takeoff (RTO), crews loaded the airplane above its maximum takeoff weight of 975000 pounds and installed a set of 100% worn-out brakes. In April, the Boeing Test & Evaluation team brought the 747-8 Freighter to a long runway in California to simulate the ultimate rejected takeoff (RTO). Crews loaded the airplane above its maximum takeoff weight of 975000 pounds (443181 kilograms) and installed a set of 100% worn-out brakes ...

Boeing accused of betraying US city
Boeing, the world's largest aircraft maker is leaving the city it has helped make the air capital of the world. After years working with politicians in Kansas to secure government contracts, Boeing has announced that they will close their iconic plant in the south central city of Wichita next year. The closing of the plant, which services the US President's plane, Air Force One, will mean the loss of 2000 jobs in the state's largest city. The jobs lost by the closing of the Boeing plant will represent a 10 per cent cut, as the city that over the decades went from 42000 to 29000 aviation industry jobs. Al Jazeera's John Hendren speaks to locals in Wichita about their sense of betrayal at the lost aviation jobs and the countless other related jobs that may go with those loss by the closing of the Boeing plant.

Boeing Delivers Massive Ordnance Penetrator (MOP) 37000 LB Bombs To The USAF - GBU-57
AviationExplorer.com - The Massive Ordnance Penetrator (the Air Force has ordered 20 from Boeing) is nearly five tons heavier than any other bomb in the military's arsenal and is made to pulverize underground targets. Boeing Co. has delivered the first of the 30000-pound bombs, each nearly five tons heavier than anything else in the military's arsenal, to the US Air Force to pulverize underground enemy hide-outs. At a total cost of about $314 million, the military has developed and ordered 20 of the GPS-guided bombs, called Massive Ordnance Penetrators. They are designed to be dropped on targets by the Boeing-made B-52 Stratofortress long-range bomber or Northrop Grumman Corp.'s B-2 stealth bomber. Packed with more than 5300 pounds of explosives and more than 20 feet long, the giant bunker-busting bombs were tested at White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico, the site of the first atomic bomb test during World War II. The weapon's explosive power is 10 times greater than its bunker-buster predecessor, the BLU-109. And it is nearly five tons heavier than the 22600-pound GBU-43 MOAB surface bomb, sometimes called the "mother of all bombs." The Massive Ordnance Penetrator is a weapon system designed to accomplish a difficult, complicated mission of reaching and destroying our adversaries' weapons of mass destruction located in well-protected facilities. The Air Force and the Defense Threat Reduction Agency conducted tests at White Sands, and Boeing delivered the first Massive ...
