A direct mechanical linkage (mostly bowden cables) between the stick and the rudders runs over the whole length of the airplane and through several corners. It has to be maintained carefully lest it snaps. It is also not very precise and lenghtens with use. This is not the only crash where a bowden cable snapped. I can recall several examples, like this one:
Only a tiny general aviation aircraft can be flown that way. And even then it can only be flown that way at low altitude and full visibility because the vestibular system doesn't work correctly during flight. An airliner must be flown using instruments.
OMG no. I don't hold shares at all and will take Airbus over Boeing any day. Especially when the Boeing in question is that pig with a ton of lipstick 737.
By the time DST was introduced (during WW1) oil lamps long switched to kerosene (probably even in Dunwall), and electric light was already common enough in the cities.
I've watched enough Mayday episodes to know that for every crash that was witnessed there are always several people who report seeing flames and they are almost always wrong.
The fuselage itself is over 60 years old since it came from the 707. There is also a flashlight in the 737 cockpit that was probably already used in the b-29.
The problem is Boeing trying to shoehorn modern engines on a 50 year old airframe specifically built to have the shortest possible landing gear so the aircraft could be used in unsophisticated airports.
Like I said, airspeed and groundspeed are completely unrelated. A gust of wind can massively change airspeed, but barely change groundspeed. You cannot sanity check apples by comparing them to oranges.
Because the GPS inputs only show ground speed and are completely useless for determining airspeed. Given a sufficiently strong headwind an airplane can have only little ground speed and seemingly park in the sky, but with an airspeed high enough to keep flying. How exactly are you suggesting to measure airspeed other than with a differential pressure system?
Not just no airbus, the "primary instrument is what is seen from the front window" would mean no airplane that can be flown under the IFR. That means piddly general aviation stuff only, but these normally aren't allowed to carry paying passengers. Real pilots are trained to trust the instruments first, not what they see or what they think they see.
Calling other people sheep is indeed a very childish notion. And as for the money, paying a couple of Euros more in taxes would be a small price to pay for finally having you out. We can afford this.
"We didn't get the result we wanted so run the referendum again." We see that time after fucking time, and it's the same fucking response from the Europhiles in the UK.
Looks like you are the one who is spreading lies. Reruns happen only after changes are made.
Trust me, not leaving the EU will damage the UK far more than leaving with no deal. City centres are expensive when they burn.
Don't be ridiculous. A bunch of old farts protesting isn't really scary. The UK ain't France. But like I said, good riddance. The day you voted out I've cheered.
Oh? Why not? Aren't they conforming properly?
Well, club members have to keep up certain standards and follow the club rules. Otherwise, what's the point?
Does everybody have to sit down and be a nice little child and let the grownups in Brussels tell them how to behave?
Hmm, no, many countries either came out of the war stronger than they went in or received reparations.
The UK did receive reparations, mostly in form of intellectual property, but also in form of machines for their industry (which parts of your industry - or what ever you have left of it - have used for decades after the war), exactly as decided during the Yalta conference.
Shit, Germany came out of the war stronger than the UK because they received so much rebuilding investment.
Nope, the UK was by far the largest Marshall plan recepient, getting 2.5 times more than Germany, while being in a far better shape since Germany had only one strategic bomber type and even that was released far too late to make a difference. Germany came out of the war stronger due its far higher productivity. The UK didn't because it didn't have colonies to rob anymore.
That's astonishingly disingenuous. Check the fucking net spend charts, very few EU countries contribute more than they receive and the UK is consistently near the top of that list.
Only by being a country with a large population. British contribution per head is #8 or #9, the same as Italy.
Simple fact: UK contributes more than it receives. Logical conclusion: They're spending our money.
The UK is also the only member that whines so much about it.
Ireland was bailed out by the EU, not by the ECB. Sorry, you were mentioning ignorance? Might want to look in a mirror.
Ireland was bailed out by the ECB, the EFSF (which is essentially the Eurozone) and the IMF. The UK did contribute a bit with a bilateral loan, but not nearly as much as the Eurozone members, even though the UK had the most to lose.
It's cunts like you that are jeopardising the democratically chosen direction for my country and I'm fucked off with it. Get a fucking clue or fuck off.
Jeopardising? You mean the direction would actually not be democratically chosen anymore? I guess for you the democracy is like a train - once arrived at your destination you'd get off, right? But honestly, don't let the door hit you on your way out of the EU. I just wish you'd take Poland and Hungary with you, they don't belong either.
Of course they do, as a payback for the 1990s. Doesn't mean that some people don't try really hard to create a new cold war for fun and profit since they can't bomb Iraq anymore.
Things like giving credit at far below the market rate to help avoiding a default? While the UK stood aside and watched in amusement, having made clear that this is not their problem? The evil, evil EU.
Both the manufacturing sector and the culture are completely orthogonal to the EU membership and so is your leadership. Leaving the EU won't do anything to solve these problems.

Decoupling the steering physically from the rudders also makes envelope protection possible.
Without fly by wire this happens:

And don't delude yourselves that you are special and would be able to feel your position correctly.

You really think that "Yankee go home" is means "please stay"?

Self flying works only in a very specific set of circumstances. Even the military drones are mostly RC aircraft.
Not just no airbus, the "primary instrument is what is seen from the front window" would mean no airplane that can be flown under the IFR. That means piddly general aviation stuff only, but these normally aren't allowed to carry paying passengers. Real pilots are trained to trust the instruments first, not what they see or what they think they see.
As soon as the tech is available it would only be prudent to remove the pilots altogether.
Actually they should since pilot errors are by far the most common reason for crashes.
Calling other people sheep is indeed a very childish notion.
And as for the money, paying a couple of Euros more in taxes would be a small price to pay for finally having you out. We can afford this.

Exactly. Life is life (nana na nana), people make it cruel.
Not even the Greek themselves were crazy enough to go for a default.
Yeah, those new trade deals with the Faroe islands and the Palestinian autonomy are truly bespoke.
