Patreon Exclusive: What Everyone Gets Wrong About Planes
Added 2024-09-15 09:04:03 +0000 UTCHi everyone,
There's a lot of footage we didn't end up using in the final cut of our video 'What Everyone Gets Wrong About Planes' so we wanted to wrap some of it up into an extra video.
Here's Derek flying a Boeing 737 simulator and exploring the F27 Friendship and Orion planes at the Queensland Air Museum (subtitles suggested as some of the sections get pretty noisy).
Stick around until the end to check out animations that didn’t make the final cut, along with drafts of other thumbnail ideas we explored.
Hope you enjoy, and as always, thanks for your support!

Super obscure error in the thumbnail XD. The person in the chair sitting closest to viewer has 2 faces. Ones a female face looking forward, the other is a male head turned to the right (you can see his left ear)

2024-10-28 04:52:40 +0000 UTC30 years ago aircraft avionics were hardened against _external_ electromagnetic radiation, like RADAR and comm. The fuselage provided a pretty good Faraday cage to shield the avionics from external signals. When personal electronics took off, not only cellphones but laptops and PalmPilots and such, aircraft designers had never considered that there would so many various sources of EM radiation _inside_ the aircraft. There are documented incidents of laptops interfering with instruments and even fly-by-wire flight controls. That’s why they used to say “turn off all personal electronic devices,” not just cellphones. In the last 30+ years new aircraft have incorporated electromagnetic compatibility design to protect against internal sources, and older aircraft’s avionics upgraded to do same.
