If you were tasked with designing a military transport plane, how would you prevent this from happening?
how is this even possible? Was there an explosion?
>>64639759No design can help lack of maintenance./thread
>>64639768Fatigue, the ground crew was fatigued.
>>64639769Can't do maintenance if no craft to do maintenance! So best solution not make craft or lose craft through accident!
>>64639768Metal fatigue is a factor, but it's even worse than that: the aluminum alloys that aircraft are built from have a shelf life. The alloy gets weaker over time, and at some point needs to be retired from service. Competent aircraft operators will pull airframes from service before they get that old. Desperate cost-cutters will keep airframes flying long after they should have been scrapped.
>>64639759Are those zegroids spilling out of the guts?
Create it out of sturdy materials. Cardboard is out, for example
>>64639759Huh... what a RIVETING image...
>>64639759That's not very typical, I'd like to make that point
>>64639759>Comrade, let us test if this plane can come back into service.>-ACK
>>64639759Conversion to tilt rotor: Grand success.>how would you prevent this from happening?Maintenance.
>>64639768It was on a test flight after being repaired.The repair group is bankrupt and nobody has been paid in months.Probably didn't inspect it properly after whatever accident it suffered that required repairs. So either a structural fault was missed or dismissed as too expensive to repair
>>64639759This photo is AI "enhanced" this is the real image lol. Not that it makes a difference for vatniks, their maintenance and equipment is still shit.
lol, obvious fake image from desperate hoholsFACT: the plane landed on its own power
>>64639827>>64639852I don't see the problem. It was a test flight for repairs, and they successfully discovered it had not been sufficiently repaired.
>>64639759Develop countermeasures for big guys
>>64639879lol
>>64639873It was also full of holhol POWS. The plane was on it's way to be scrapped anyway. We actually did this on purpose since we didn't need it anway. xaxaxaxa ))
Did the crew survive?
>>64639871this is the actual plane that broke up, RF-09309, it has different paint than the OP so yes you are correct
>>64639759Fake AI imageInstead, here, have a kilo class sub exploding https://fxtwitter.com/Osinttechnical/status/2000584378733207934
>>64639799What about paper?
>>64640182reportedly they all died
>>64640188very ugly plane, I don't likegood it's destroyed now
>>64639759I'd design it so the back won't fall off.
>>64640382Good. TZD.
>>64640182
>>64640374No, no paper. Probably no cellotape or rubber, either.
>>64639821But it is an excellent photo for the CIA operative who hacksawed the frame!
>>64639794It's not age. Fatigue limit is how much you can bend a metal with no permanent damage. Steel has a fatigue limit. Aluminum does not. Any flexing causes permanent damage. Try not to think about it when you're flying.
>>64639759YEBAT!
>>64640655I wasn't talking about fatigue alone, which is why I mentioned it first. I'm talking about how aluminum alloys are strengthened by a process called precipitation hardening, and materials produced with that process follow a bit of a curve. At first the parts get stronger as they age--we usually accelerate this process on purpose, called "solution heat treating". But then the parts slowly get weaker over time. This has nothing to do with fatigue, even if the parts saw zero stress they would still slowly get weaker as the precipitates grow in size.
>>64639759Maintenance, not skimping on materials, proper material research, proper aerodynamical research for stress points etc
Picture of the claimed saboteur has been released by the Russian defense ministry.Also the new captcha is dogshit. What the fuck.

>>64639759I'm not an expert but I would probably make it so that the front can't fall off.
>>64639873Unironically exactly the shit that Armchair Warlord has been posting for awhile now. Five days ago he said that all AFU videos are fakes, manipulated or old. Then the submarine incident happened and he disables comments and posts he is 'going to bed'.
>>64639759Simply don’t get sanctioned
>>64639759I´d design the seats so that you couldnt bring any Big Guys onboard
>>64642691
>>64639759It was the last operational An-22 in the world - the biggest turboprop ever built.Built in the Ukrainian SSR.Flown by Russians for longer than her airframe should ever have."Repaired" by a bunch of incompetents whose betters have all left the country long ago.Most of what the Soviets have achieved is lostech for modern Russia.
>>64642786>NATO reporting name 'Cock'You can't make this shit up. Russia's cock snapped in half and now they're cockless.
>>64642797The last Russian cock is gone.Truly now the only thing that can be in the ass is the ass.
It would be very serious if this severe damage occurred with the plane empty.
>>64642810But without the mighty Russian cock how will they get the eggs? You know what they say, an unlaid egg can never be measured.
>>64642648That only happens at high temperatures, retard.
>>64639759I would build it to very rigorous aviation standards with regulations governing the materials that can be used.Cardboard's right out.
>>64643032It happens faster at high temperatures, but it absolutely does happen at room temperature. A plane that is many decades old is suspect even if it has flown very few flight cycles.
