hi everyone

just sharing with all of u .. enjoy.

Wow,

like the A380, especially the road/taxiway. Mmm nice to snap the SQ777 in the Background.

Cowz.

You might want to consider uploading the photo to airliners.net. A quick check reveals that there're only one photo of that particular plane, and only two for the entire airline on their database. :thumbsup:

The website is awsome ... :thumbsup:

Yea,

except that their requirements for uploading is quite erm difficult? :think:

Sorry for off-topic. I see many avaition fans here like me. Anyone here fly Flight Simulator 2004 or Flight simulator X? I have been using it since 2002. Have learned a lot of flying from it. Someday im going to buy a DSLR and join you people.
btw here is some amazing screenshot from FS

Hi guys.

Didn't know there are so many aircraft spotters here. We should have a ClubSnap spotters outing sometime. Haha.

If anyone's interested, some of my pics can be found here: http://www.jetphotos.net/showphotos.php?userid=40874

Those that made it into JetPhotos.net, that is..

Used to play Flight Sim X but my lappy is using integrated graphics so can't really play at high res, in the end uninstalled it.

hi everyone, just sharing with all of u .. enjoy.

Probably this is as close as you can get to a B707 in Singapore.

Your shots have the standards. I don't know how airliners.net pick their photos.

You can refer to this, any photos that meets these criteria are most likely to get rejected. One of Singapore's top aviation photographer is Andrew Hunt, and AFAIK, he's also one of the photo screeners. I wonder if he's in this forum? :think:

 

[gilcrest]

nice shots! wondering where was the 744 taken?

cheers!

For the 744, I can tell you I was very close to it near 02L. Only issue was a old camera and a not so perfect shot.

I like that A330. Airbuses always has higher nose pitch than boeings at every phases of flight. Making me really feel that they are 'gliding on air' as their wing flexs up

hi everyone
I will just a few more images ...
enjoy ..

I'm not sure if you realise this, but that Fokker-50 UTA (together with tail numbers 710, 712 & 713) is actually modified for ELINT and SIGINT operations. Informations are in the public-domain, and all opsec procedures are observed.

As far as landings are concerned, i heard that airbuses have a higher AoA during landing due to the alpha floor protection mode, whereas boeing aircrafts can approch the runway at higher Vs ratio resulting in a lower AoA.

I did asked some pilots before, and they actually mentioned that there's no significant difference in the AoA between (specifically) the A320 and B737 during landings. :think:

The thing is, those equipments are probably modular. So sometimes you see them, and sometimes you don't. Sneaky little...

yea, i notice A320 and B737 AoA is not so different.

In yr 1st paragraphy, you mean that becoz of alpha floor protection, airbus allows their aircrafts to fly at higher AoA to achieve lower speed during landing AND not compromise chances of stall?

I hope you understand what i'm trying to say

Right,

Ok mind if I chip in, I'm studying Aeropsace Technology, so ok.

In fact, Higher AoA would result in a higher lift. The highest lift generated from an aerofoil(wing) is at about 15 degrees. Anything more than that the airflow behind it becomes turbluent and reduces the life again. Now this is with regards to the wing only.

The flooring, you see the fuselage is not as thin as the wing thus, it will take on more stresses. So Airbus's Alpha floor protection actually strengthens the floor (of course). That way there is a reduction of wear/tear.

Correct me if I'm wrong, caused I'm still studying :X

Alpha floor protects the floor sounds more correct. It doesnt really strenghten the fuselage. It works by taking over the pilot by put thrust to TOGA and lower e pitch, hence prevent stall.
Correct me if i'm wrong too.
