How does an aircraft engine work..?

Jetline Marvel

We don’t even think twice anymore about taking an airplane to get from one place to another, but do you know what it takes to power an airplane? Plunge into the incredible world of jet engines and see how they work.

CFM International (the 50/50 Joint Venture of Safran and GE) allows you to see inside a jet engine through this entertaining, yet very informative film. It will show you the basic operating principles for a modern turbofan engine with a high bypass ratio, and the state-of-the-art technologies incorporated in CFM’s new-generation LEAP engine.

Airbus Plans Cockpit Toilet to Make Single-Pilot Operations a Reality

Airbus Plans Cockpit Toilet to Make Single-Pilot Operations a Reality

In a bold move aimed at cutting costs, Airbus is exploring the possibility of installing a potty-style toilet right behind the Captain’s seat on its A350 long-haul aircraft. According to the reports from paddleyourownkanoo.com

This proposal is part of the ongoing effort to implement Extended Minimum Crew Operations (eMCO), a concept that could revolutionize the aviation industry by reducing the number of pilots required on ultra-long-haul flights.

Currently, on long flights, two pilots stay in the cockpit while the others rest in a separate compartment. However, under eMCO, one pilot could be alone in the cockpit for up to three hours while the other sleeps. The goal is to reduce crew costs and improve airline efficiency, as fewer pilots would be needed for these flights.

But this proposal has raised concerns from pilot unions, who worry about safety and the challenges of single-pilot operations. To address the issue of bathroom breaks, Airbus suggests installing a radio-equipped toilet in the cockpit, allowing the pilot to use it without leaving their seat.

If the pilot needs to use the toilet, the second pilot would have to be woken up, terminating the eMCO process temporarily.

If successful, Airbus plans to begin testing this system on its A350 aircraft as soon as 2027, with single-pilot operations possibly being introduced on freighter Airbus A320s within the next five years.
