The 747 is legend around here for a number of reasons.
During static must the wing must not fail at 150% of calculated load. Once they get there they used to bend it to failure. On the whale, legend has it, it went to the 150% then they kept going till *they ran out of travel* on their test rig......ah, shit. It took 13 saw cuts in the lower skin to get it to break. That same wing makes the 747 the fastest commercial airliner....less the SST. Mike: Bits you should never see, torque tubes. |
