World's largest aeroplane with wingspan length longer than a FOOTBALL FIELD having six engines for first time ahead of 2019 .

By
The world's largest aircraft, coming from the house of Paul Allen's Stratolaunch Systems, with advance look.
Stratolaunch just tested engines of its massive aircraft.                STRATOLAUNCH SYSTEMS CORP.

The twin-boom, or dual fuselage design allows for a large central mounting point to be designed between the two fuselages. The lateral loading distributions can remain symmetrical, and thus avoid large rolling moments. The payload mounting point appears to be located near the Mean Aerodynamic Chord of the Aircraft. This is an extremely ideal design for an air cargo carrier.

Stratolaunch ultimately aims to use its megaplane as a launch platform to provide low-cost access to low Earth orbit. The company, founded in 2011, has designed the aircraft to carry rockets up to a certain altitude, where they would detach and fire engines to complete the rest of its space journey.E
ach of the 3 wing sections can have a shorter length, and can be designed to be commensurately stronger and stiffer with less exotic engineering considerations, and/or heavier materials in their structural elements.

The latest engine test comes as part of several tests Stratolaunch has been conducting in order to take its massive plane to the skies. Back in May, the aerospace giant moved the megaplane out of its hanger for the first time, to start the series of tests. Moving ahead, it will conduct more engine tests and taxi tests.

All these efforts suggest the company is closing in on that ultimate first flight, but for now, there's no fixed word on when we might see the behemoth of a plane cruising and carrying rockets into the sky.

What is aircraft mainteance?

By
Aircraft maintenance  Aircraft maintenance is the overhaul, repair, inspection or modification of an aircraft or aircraft component. Maintenance may include such tasks as ensuring compliance with Airworthiness Directives or Service Bulletins. The maintenance of aircraft is highly regulated, in order to ensure safe and correct functioning during flight. National regulations are coordinated under international standards, maintained by bodies such as the International Civil Aviation Organization  (ICAO). The maintenance tasks, personnel and inspections are all tightly regulated and staff must be licensed for the tasks they carry out. Aircraft maintenance activity carried out once the  aircraft  has been removed from the operating environment for scheduled Check activity or for ad hoc defect investigation and rectification .   Aircraft line maintenance  : activity carried out whilst the  aircraft  remains in the operating environme...

Airbus is leading Europe’s research & technology for future large commercial aircraft :cleansky 2

By
Airbus i going to will play a leading role in the EU’s recently launched CleanSky 2 (CS2) initiative – the follow-up to CleanSky and the most extensive aeronautical research programme ever launched in Europe. CS2 will provide a platform for focused large scale, highly integrated demonstrators with our partners. Within the frame of the CS2 collaborative research platform, Airbus will focus its expertise on the future of large passenger aircraft, for which the main areas will include: new propulsion systems and their integration in future aircraft; the future of the fuselage and passenger cabin; and the ‘cockpit of the future’. “Airbus is proud to further apply its innovative spirit and R&T know-how for the benefit of global air transport,” said Axel Krein, Head of Research & Technology at Airbus. Airbus’ contributions to CS2 will focus on three main platforms: Platform 1: “Advanced Engine and Aircraft Configurations” will provide the environment to explore and validate ...
