Why is old aviation technology so soulful?

>>107267277the concorde nosecone droops down to let the pilots see the runway on landing. but that's more or less the only time it's needed, airliners are invariably flying IFR.
>>107267277Usecase for sight?
>>107266139It was back when white people made things. Stuff like this was created by an ancient civilization that no longer exists.
>>107266139Same reason I hold the key for futures of any/each/every kind: the need for honest debugging
>no foreign sales>delayed>limited production>domestic flight only>worse fuel efficiency then 737-NG/A320ceo, let alone the Max and neoFortunately China can't into making jets.
>>107266139Being the engineer monitoring all the gauges on the side gotta be the most stressful job ever >oh no engine #3 is 20 degrees hotter than usual, I have to check the rpm, oil pressure, radiators, hydraulic pressure, air intake, compressor, weight distribution and making sure no one forgets to wipe their ass after taking a shit.
>>107266139Because the stupid love complexity. Same reason why criminals twist themselves into schemes that are about as lucrative as just getting a fucking job at McDonald's.
>>107267312>but that's more or less the only time it's neededProtip: the single-largest accident in aviation history occurred directly on the main runway. (Not to mention avoiding stronk, independynt troons flying their military choppers up into you while on final.)>>107267389/thread. But don't forget the civilizational 4-cycle, Anon.>>107267627>based knower knows the knowing of...
>>107267512Airbus planes have always been soulless.
>>107266139it was designed to be operated by humans not diversity quota automatons
>>107268853concord is fly by wire. humans operate like nothing.
>>107267788>Protip: the single-largest accident in aviation history occurred directly on the main runway....thanks to dense fog, big ego and miscommunication, not limited visibility out the cockpit
>>107267788>(Not to mention avoiding stronk, independynt troons flying their military choppers up into you while on final.)Not to mention this chopper is on a training excersize, meaning there's an instructor sat right there with a full compliment of controls.Now, explain to me how the chopper was there, if not for the direct instruction from the commanding officer that can enforce his will on the vehicle.I think this has a lot less to do with 'troon' than it has to do with the spastic in the co-pilot seat that fobbed off ATC with "I have visual seperation".
>>107269160Until TCAS is universal and basically infallible, good visibility out the cockpit is essential. How many "flight into terrain" incidents occur because of over-reliance (inducing "familiarity distraction/laziness") on instruments? (Thanks for the pic BTW, I couldn't find it one this box.)>>107269327No, it was a "41% Suicide by Airliner", plain & simple. Demonic wretches typically want to kill as many people as possible, such as this case.
>>107266139Imagine living in the year 2050 and all the aeroplanes are fitted with touchscreens controlling all the systems, and you crash land at an airport because the pilot has greasy hands from heating his hydrated bug and vegan cheese meal and couldn't put the landing gear down.
>>107271603>2050It's already like this.
>>107266139nostalgia mostly.it always happens.the reason for that is simple new aesthetic replaces the old one and it new one is not fully developed yet.so old one looks "better" or comfier.in 30 years people will look on flat design saying how soulful it is.
>>107271678>and it newand the new onemeh..
