30 years ago today, on July 17, 1996,TWA Flight 800, a Boeing 747-131, N93119, crashed in the Atlantic Ocean near East Moriches, New York. The NTSB concluded that the probable cause of the loss of TWA Flight 800 was an explosion of the center wing fuel tank after the fuel-air mixture ignited. Investigators determined the most likely ignition source was an electrical short circuit that allowed excessive voltage to enter the fuel quantity indication system.

This Airbus A400M pulled off a near-vertical takeoff, showing just how much power and lift it has. Even for a plane that big, it can get off the ground fast and handle short, rough runways this was just a demo of what it can really do. 📹: bobsurgranny

Welcome to St. Barts where the runway is short, the approach is steep, and "go around" is free... unless you forget to use it. This Piper Aztec touched down 3/4 into the strip and ran out of both time and tarmac. No reverse thrust. No margin for error. Just beach. 📹: AIRBOYD YT

Airbus 320 ram air turbine (RAT) test The Ram Air Turbine (RAT) on the Airbus A320 is a retractable, wind-driven emergency power source located on the aircraft's belly. In the event of a total primary power loss, it deploys into the airflow to power the Blue Hydraulic System, ensuring pilots can still control critical flight surfaces and land safely. 📹: aerowingsx

Usually, during short field takeoffs, pilots set the parking brake, spool up the engines first, and then release. It's all about maximizing every inch of that runway. When you're on a dirt strip like this, there's no room for hesitation. You hold it on the brakes, feel the airframe shake as the engines hit full power, and then-blast off. Raw power. Pure aviation. This is how it's done when the conditions aren't perfect, but the mission is. 📹: maas_aviation
