Out of Balance Aircraft - 1st Class Seats Too Heavy

 Out of Balance Aircraft - 1st Class Seats Too Heavy You would think someone would have done their Ansys or calculations to determine if heavier seats on an Aircraft would affect the plane. I find it interesting how airlines and sub-contractors are cutting corners, with no running analysis on all phases of spacecraft, and aircraft. We see disastrous results such as those with Boeing with all their aircraft, and Starliner, SpaceX, and Tesla.  All of these companies appear not to have sufficient FEA or analysis done on the electrical and mechanical systems. Boeing decided to save money by reducing the number of quality inspection engineers. Many of the Airlines who bought Boeing Aircraft didnt adhere to their recommended maintenance schedule, due to they dont want an aircraft not flying, loss of income~! Many of these aircraft probably fly 24 hours day. The top manufacturers for aircraft seats today are a few well-established companies that dominate the market. They include: Rec...

(b) These technologies may include electrostatic air filters, antimicrobial coatin...

Digital Aircraft Safety

         While HEPA and UV filters can improve air and water quality onboard aircraft, preventing the introduction of infected mosquitoes onboard and implementing mosquito control measures in airports and aircraft destinations are crucial steps in reducing the risk of mosquito-borne disease transmission during travel. Then let us think of ways to modernize aircraft with safety mandates, reduce seat density would help, mandate digital safety checks whereby airports would have to hire staff to quickly inspect key areas of an aircraft, and Airplanes need a system to inspect trouble areas whereby there would be a digital certificates for safety compliance that would be transmitted to the towers or someone before takeoff. The plane could not board people until the digital certificates from inspection were verified. What is inspected according to the FAA on aircraft? The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has specific guidelines and regulations for the inspection a...
