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 human factor?

By
The study of Human Factors is about understanding human behavior and performance. When applied to aviation operations, Human Factors knowledge is used to optimize the fit between people and the systems in which they work in order to improve safety and performance. Gain a comprehensive overview of the effect and management of Human Factors in aviation with this foundation course. The operational Human Factors knowledge gained on this course can also be applied to safety investigation activities. Human factor is one of very important cause of accidents of aircraft in aviation. Human factor training should be conducted in every 2 year of time period. Maintenance human factors research is to identify and optimize the factors that affect human performance in maintenance and inspection. Research attention to personnel includes: Qualification Training Motivation Worker safety Health Return on investment Professionalism Human capabilities and limitations Our research co...
