Boeing increased the height of the vertical fin 40 inches and added a ventral fin. These modifications became standard on all future s and were retro-fitted to those already manufactured. The Boeing series airliners were feet, 11 inches The fuselage has a maximum diameter of 12 feet, 8. The International has a typical empty weight of , pounds 64, kilograms , and a maximum takeoff weight MTOW of , pounds , kilograms.
The usable fuel capacity is 23, gallons 90, liters. All series aircraft are powered by four jet engines installed in nacelles below and forward of the wings on pylons. The Rolls-Royce Conway R. The engine has a 7-stage low- and 9-stage high-pressure compressor section, 12 interconnected combustion liners, with a single-stage high- and 2-stage low-pressure turbine.
The Mk. The engine is 3 feet, 6. The series had a maximum cruise speed of miles per hour kilometers per hour at 30, feet 9, meters —0. Boeing built 1, Model airplanes between and Of these, 37 were the Intercontinental variant.

Fisher at left, and the Boeing test crew with BH Stratofortress Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive. The other night, while I was trying to sleep, I started thinking about the post I wrote last week where I stated that hatred is driven — at its core — by a fear of death.
Naturally this started to make me feel a little anxious. I have a love-hate relationship with thinking. Hello lovely readers and welcome back to the Flying Fridays newsletter!

Clear air turbulence is associated at high altitudes i. Turbulence in fact can be so traumatizing that by itself it can cause fear of flying. It is actually common for many people with no previous apprehensions about flying to develop serious anxiety of flying after being on a single flight with bad turbulence.
From a practical point, no, a modern airliner will not lose a wing due to turbulence. Modern airlines are very tough and designed to withstand extreme turbulence. In the s, there was a Boeing that encountered severe turbulence that resulted in the vertical fin separating from the aircraft.
Is turbulence better at night? Nighttime or morning flights are statistically better for turbulence, compared to those in the day.
