lol @ allnuck.. i love airplanes, i know all about them.. heck the air disaster series which re-enacts plane crashes is a good show. ive seen ALL episodes/seasons..
Basically its all action/reaction... fill a balloon with air, let go of it, what happens? yup same shit.. jet plane pulls fuel + air, burns it at high temperature, and the resulting thrust + wing lift, etc lift it up..
Anyway your chances of DYING in an airplane are so fucking slim its not even funny.. there are backup systems for the backup systems.. I bet most of you didnt know this, but if AN airplane loses all power suddenly, a little propeller fan will fall from the bottom of the airplane, powered by the wind, and it will be enough to power the control systems of the airplane...
ALso there is no one single point of failure in the engine.. basically lets say one pipe breaks, or the fuel pump stops working, it is NOT enough to bring the airplane down..
Ive seen about 100 of those episodes about airplane crashes, and bottom line is its always a LOT of things going wrong that cause crashes, a lot of them were human error too.. you wouldnt believe how safe the new airplanes are now..
The airbus a380 is amazing.. i can foresee it going next 100 years with no crash... heck some airbus models are yet to see a crash, anyway..
I can go on and on, PS i have taken flight sessons too.. what fun
