text: HISTORY OF FLIGHTOn June 13, 2011, about 0947 central daylight time, a Boeing B-17G "Flying Fortress" airplane, N390TH, experienced an in-flight fire and emergency landing near Oswego, Illinois. One passenger sustained a minor injury. The remaining 3 flight crew members and 3 passengers were not injured. The airplane was substantially damaged as a result of the postimpact fire. The airplane was registered to and operated by The Liberty Foundation under the provisions of 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 as a repositioning flight. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed for the flight, which was not operated on a flight plan. The flight originated from the Aurora Municipal Airport (ARR), Sugar Grove, Illinois at 0938, with an intended destination of the Indianapolis Regional Airport (MQJ).The airplane had been at ARR for the weekend before the accident flight as a planned stop for education/demonstration flights; however, a fuel leak had interrupted the scheduled flights. A mechanic associated with the Foundation evaluated and repaired the fuel leak the day prior to the accident flight. According to the mechanic, a final inspection of the repair the morning of the accident flight did not reveal any evidence of a continued fuel leak at that time and the airplane was subsequently returned to service.The flight crew reported that they noticed a faint odor during initial climb after takeoff. While attempting to locate the source of the odor, the pilot noticed a small amount of smoke near the radio room. The flight crew immediately initiated a turn with the intention of returning to ARR. About that time, they received a call from the pilot of the accompanying airplane advising that there was a fire visible on the left wing. The third crew member onboard the B-17 subsequently confirmed a fire behind the no. 2 engine. The pilot took control of the airplane from the co-pilot and setup for an emergency landing to a field off the left side of the airplane. The co-pilot then shut down the no. 2 engine and discharged the fire bottles. The pilot executed an emergency landing to a corn field about 8 miles southeast of ARR. The co-pilot noted that the airplane touched down smoothly on speed about one-third of the way down the field. The ground was firm and the airplane came to a smooth stop.Emergency crews were hampered by the muddy field conditions, and the fire ultimately consumed portions of the fuselage and the inboard portions of both wings.PERSONNEL INFORMATIONThe pilot held an Airline Transport Pilot certificate with single and multi-engine land airplane ratings. His certificate included type ratings for B-17, B-737, B-757, and B-767 airplanes. He was issued a first class airman medical certificate without limitations on May 17, 2011. He reported a total flight time of 14,178 hours, with 438 hours in B-17 airplanes. His most recent regulatory checkride was completed on April 17, 2011.The co-pilot held an Airline Transport Pilot certificate with single and multi-engine land airplane ratings. His certificate included type ratings for DC-9, B-757, B-767, and A320 airplanes. He was issued a first class airman medical certificate with a limitation for corrective lenses on March 4, 2011. He reported a total flight time of 15,000 hours, with 6 hours in B-17 airplanes. His most recent regulatory checkride was completed on August 26, 2010.AIRCRAFT INFORMATIONThe accident airplane was a Boeing B-17G "Flying Fortress," serial number 44-85734. It was mid-wing monoplane design, configured with a retractable, tail wheel landing gear. The cockpit and cabin were accessible through a door located on the right side of the fuselage just forward of the horizontal stabilizer, or through a hatch located in the bottom of the fuselage below the cockpit. The airplane was powered by four 1,200 horsepower Wright model R-1820-97 nine-cylinder, radial engines. Available information indicated that the accident airplane was delivered to the United States Army Air Force in 1945. In 1947, the airplane was included in a lot of aircraft sold for scrap. However, the accident airplane was not scrapped and was subsequently sold to the United Aircraft Corporation/Pratt & Whitney Aircraft Division for use as an engine development test bed. In 1967, the airplane was donated to the Connecticut Aviation Historical Association. Unfortunately, in 1979, the airplane was severely damaged in a tornado. In 1999, a private individual purchased the airplane with the intention of restoring it. During the restoration process, the airplane was sold to the Liberty Foundation. The restoration was completed in 2004 and the airplane was returned to an airworthy condition. The FAA issued a limited special airworthiness certificate in May 2005. At the time of the accident, the airplane was being operated as a historical demonstration/exhibition aircraft by the Liberty Foundation.The airplane was maintained under a progressive inspection program. The program was comprised of four incremental inspection procedures designated "A", "B", "C", and "D", which were to be conducted at 25-hour intervals, and periodic/non-routine inspection procedures as applicable. The most recent incremental inspections were completed on: March 25, 2011, at 2,501.9 hours total time airframe (TTAF); April 21, 2011, at 2,529.6 hours TTAF; May 14, 2011, at 2,552.7 hours TTAF; and June 10, 2011, at 2,579.0 hours TTAF.Documentation on file with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) revealed that a modification of the fuel system was completed during restoration of the airplane. This modification involved removal of the outboard fuel cells, also known as "Tokyo" tanks, and related fuel lines. In addition, the fuel tank-to-fuel tank transfer system was replaced with a fuel tank-to-engine cross-feed system. A corresponding FAA form 337, Major Repair and Alteration, dated April 26, 2005, was on file with the airplane records.An airplane maintenance logbook entry, dated February 24, 2011, at 2,474.7 hours TTAF, noted that the aluminum fuel tanks had been removed from the airplane, and that the rubber fuel bladder liners were removed from the tanks. The aluminum tanks were subsequently welded to close the bladder liner mounting relief holes and re-installed into the airplane. An operational check of the fuel tank modification did not reveal any anomalies and the airplane was returned to service. There was no corresponding Major Repair and Alteration (FAA form 337) on file with the airplane records. The mechanic that conducted the work noted that the fuel bladders were degrading and occasionally clogging the fuel sumps.The final maintenance logbook entry was dated June 13, 2011, the day of the accident. The entry noted a repair to the inboard end of the no. 1 main fuel tank. A subsequent leak check did not reveal any anomalies and the airplane was returned to service.The mechanic who accomplished the fuel tank repair reported that he had examined the no. 1 fuel tank the day before the accident because of a fuel leak. He determined that the leak was due a 3-inch crack that was located in the weld bead at the bottom edge of the tank near the sump drain valve. The fuel leak was repaired by installing 5 bolts through the fuel tank flange. An aluminum C-channel was then installed with sealant over the fuel tank flange. METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONSAt 0952, the ARR Automated Surface Observing System recorded weather conditions as: Wind from 060 degrees at 10 knots; 10 miles visibility; clear skies; temperature 18 degrees Celsius; dew point 9 degrees Celsius; altimeter 30.16 inches of mercury.WRECKAGE AND IMPACT INFORMATIONThe airplane came to rest on its landing gear in an agricultural field located about 8 miles southeast of ARR. Ground tracks indicated that the emergency landing was performed toward the east; approximate course 090 degrees. There did not appear to have been any damage to the airplane as a direct result of off-airport landing. However, the in-flight and ground fire substantially damaged the airplane.In-flight photographs of the accident airplane showed the presence of fire on the aft lower portion of the left wing between the no. 1 (outboard) and no. 2 (inboard) engines. Also located in the same area of the fire were fuel tanks feeding the left-side engines.In photographs taken shortly after the accident aircraft landed, heavy fire conditions were present on the left side of the aircraft with the fire spreading to the fuselage. By the time the fire was extinguished, the inboard portion of both the left and right wings had been destroyed by fire as well as most of the fuselage. The engines, empennage, fuselage nose, and the outboard portions of both wings remained intact.TESTS AND RESEARCHA postaccident examination of the no. 1 main fuel tank was conducted under the direct supervision of the NTSB investigator-in-charge. The upper, inboard end of the fuel tank was deformed and ruptured consistent with damage sustained after the landing. However, the area repair area itself located at the center portion of the lower, inboard seam of the tank appeared to exhibit minimal deformation. The aft portion of the repair C-channel was partially separated from the tank seam. The remainder of the C-channel appeared to be securely bonded to the tank. The bolts installed at the time of the repair were intact and appeared to be secure. The tank was filled with a small amount of water, which was subsequently observed to leak from the aft section of the repair area in the vicinity of the partially separated C-channel.Further examination of the fuel tank was conducted by the NTSB materials laboratory. A longitudinal crack, about 7.2 inches in length, was located along the center of the weld seam. The fracture surface features were consistent with fatigue, consistent with a progressive failure at the weld seam. The sealant in the vicinity of the aft two repair bolts was thin and the cured sealant did not conform to the inside shape of the C-channel. The sealant along the remainder of the repair had adhered to the fuel tank and provided full coverage over the weld seam. Additionally, the cured sealant along this portion of the repair conformed to the inside shape of the C-channel.ADDITIONAL INFORMATIONFAA regulations (14 CFR Part 1) define a major alteration as one that is not listed in the aircraft, aircraft engine, or propeller specifications: (1) that might appreciably affect weight, balance, structural strength, performance, powerplant operation, flight characteristics, or other qualities affecting airworthiness; or (2) that is not done according to accepted practices or cannot be done by elementary operations. The regulations (14 CFR Part 43) related to a major alteration specifically include "changes to the basic design of the fuel, oil, cooling, heating, cabin pressurization, electrical, hydraulic, de-icing, or exhaust systems" as airframe alterations.The FAA Major Repair and Alteration Data Approval Job Aid provides guidance to Aviation Safety Inspectors in evaluating requests for field approvals. The document notes that a change to, or addition of, permanent fuel tanks or fuel system components, may be eligible for approval by means other than a Supplemental Type Certificate (STC), but require FAA approved data. This data may be obtained from a Designated Engineering Representative (DER), Organization Designation Authorization (ODA) approved engineering data or through ACO coordinated field approval.The airplane records on file with the FAA included approvals for modification of the fuel crossfeed system and removal of outboard fuel tanks, radio room seating, and a tail wheel modification, as well as lighting and avionics upgrades. However, the file did not include any application for, or approval of, the most recent modification to the fuel tanks, which included removal of the fuel bladders.

The Project came into existence in 2011 in response to the town of Mount Vernon, Iowa losing three teens to suicide within six months. When community leaders looked to other post-crises communities for guidance on the best steps forward, they found few resources.
Under the direction of resiliency researcher and community member Dr. Mollie Marti, Mount Vernon moved forward toward healing the community and strengthening its youth. Designated a pilot Thriving Community by the Project, Mount Vernon continues the work of recovering from these tragedies and proactively growing resilience.
In 2012, the Project applied for nonprofit status with a vision of supporting other communities to build the capacity of their youth to cope with and grow through adversity and create an environment in which no life is lost to suicide.
The Project is dedicated to empowering communities to support youth in growing their hope, resiliency, and appreciation for life's possibilities. We are passionate about the advancement of well-being through research-based education and providing resources that empower communities to engage, connect, challenge, and empower youth.
Our Learning Center provides educators, mental health and health care practitioners, parents, and community leaders with high impact, practical ways to proactively strengthen the capacity of youth to grow through adversity and thrive. This work builds on our research-based ECCE Model of Community Resiliency.
Our Thriving Community initiative helps communities recovering from crises to create an environment in which members can heal and grow stronger. This includes supporting youth to envision, expect, and experience a lifetime of engagement, connection, growth, and contribution in community with others.
We look forward to partnering with you to positively impact the health and well-being of your community and youth!

Danielle Bradbery 'Maybe it was Memphis' The Voice Season 4 (Performance Video and Review)| May 7, 2013 at 9:44 PM EST
This angelic cutie has a mind-blowing singing ability.
She still gets star-struck by Blake…isn't that sweet?
My worry with Danielle is that she's so young, people may say this isn't her time.
Was her corseted style top too sexy? It didn't show skin on the sides, but there was a sheer-ish panel on each side giving that impression… I liked it, but I worry older Mom-types might be clutching their pearls. Sigh.
Now, what can I say about Dannielle Bradbery that you don't already know? She's going to be in the top 3 for The Voice season 3…we just ALL know it. She's a favorite, and with good reason.
"Holy crap." – Shakira
Usher's response, translated for you: I'm not excited about you, but I recognize that you have a great voice and you will be in this competition for a long time.
"I think you're one of the one's to beat. You are one of the best singers in the competition." – Adam Levine
The song is "Maybe it was Memphis" by Pam Tillis.

There are two basic types of Socket wrenches. Ratchets are traditionally thought of as socket wrenches and are used for tightening and loosening fasteners. Torque wrenches are designed to tighten bolts/nuts to a specific tightness. This tightness or torque is measured foot (or in some cases inch) pounds.
|Socket Wrench Type
Sockets will follow one of two size conventions. SAE is commonly referred to as Standard or Imperial Standard and measurements are in fractions of an inch. Metric is the convention preferred by most countries and metric parts can be found on everything from engine bolts to home gyms. Metric sockets are measured in millimeters.

Wake Goes Cold In 67-57 Loss To No. 2 Orange
WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. (AP) — Wake Forest has been tough to beat at home lately — especially for highly ranked teams.
But Syracuse's tough zone defense wouldn't let the Demon Deacons get hot enough to pull another upset.
The second-ranked Orange beat Wake Forest 67-57 on Wednesday night by frustrating the Demon Deacons' shooters.
Wake Forest was just 3 of 20 from 3-point range and shot 34 percent overall.
"They're long and athletic, so their zone is definitely a force to be reckoned with," senior forward Travis McKie said. "We had great looks. We just didn't knock it down."
McKie and Coron Williams were a combined 3 of 14 from beyond the arc.
"We needed one of those timely 3s to go in," McKie said. "If we just would've got three more of those 3s to go in, we'd be looking at a different outcome."
McKie and Devin Thomas both scored 12 points for Wake Forest (14-7, 4-4 Atlantic Coast Conference), which had won 13 straight at Joel Coliseum and had won three straight home games against top-five teams — a run that included a rout of then-No. 2 Miami last season.
Freshman Tyler Ennis scored 16 of his 18 points after halftime and C.J. Fair finished with 16 points for the Orange (20-0, 7-0). Trevor Cooney scored all eight of his in the final 1:45.
Syracuse remained one of three unbeaten teams in Division I with No. 1 Arizona, which beat Stanford 60-57 on Wednesday, and No. 4 Wichita State.
The Orange pulled away late while sidestepping a possible trap with a visit from No. 17 Duke coming up this weekend, and joined the 2011-12 group as the only Orange teams to start 20-0.
"We've got a long stretch ahead of us," Fair said.
In their first visit to Tobacco Road as ACC members, they had to work for it against a Wake Forest team that had been perfect at home and tough on visitors in the top five.
"It was just one of those games you're just trying to struggle through defensively, and we did just a good enough job defensively to be able to get the win," coach Jim Boeheim said. "You have to find a way to win these games, and this team has been able to do that."
McKie's free throw with 4:10 left pulled the Demon Deacons to 54-49.
But while Wake Forest came up empty on its next two trips down court, Cooney caught fire.
The guard buried a fall-away jumper that he called "the toughest shot I had all day." He followed that with two free throws to give Syracuse its first double-figure lead and streaked down court for an open-court dunk after a steal by Fair to put the Orange up 62-50 with 1:19 left.
"I heard C.J. say, 'Shoot it,'" Cooney said. "And no one needs to tell me to shoot it."
By then, they could look ahead to hosting the Blue Devils at the Carrier Dome in one of the season's most widely anticipated matchups.
Joel Coliseum was buzzing when Wake Forest turned an eight-point deficit into a one-possession game in the span of a few seconds midway through the second half.
Williams swished a 3-pointer before Madison Jones swiped the ball from Cooney and hit a quick layup to make it 40-37 with 12½ minutes left.
Ennis, who was 0 for 6 from the field in the first half, followed by reeling off eight points — all on drives down or across the lane — in about 4 minutes to give the Orange a bit of breathing room.
His finger roll helped Syracuse match its largest lead to that point, 48-40, with about 8½ minutes left.
Jerami Grant finished with 10 points and 12 rebounds for the Orange.

Airbus jets could be converted to fuel-cell propulsion
Plans are afoot to propel Airbus A320 airliners using clean, green electricity, according to reports. Disappointingly for the carbon-fearing and oil-worrier lobbies alike, however, the aircraft will be so propelled only while on the ground. "We are looking at installing electric motors in the wheels," Airbus A320 honcho Alain …
A weighty issue
So how much weight would these electric motors, wiring, control system, strengthened undercarriage add?
And then, how much extra fuel would it take to carry this extra weight around the world between airports?
Flame icon for all that extra fuel burning...
Green gimmick?
"But this would involve much less wasted energy..."
Doubt it.
And what of the added weight penalty associated with the motors and fuel cell system?
Landing gear stress
"It's not clear at first sight how the Airbus wheel-motor scheme would avoid similar problems, but presumably Flourens knows what he's on about."
I would guess they'll power all of the landing gear, rather than just the nosewheel (which is what's used for towing)
Differences between Branson and Airbus
Airbus builds planes: if they want it to be towable, they can make it towable. If Branson wants to make old planes towable, then he has to pay someone (like airbus, or boeing) who makes planes to make them towable.
I still think building runways at 50000 feet is the most rational fuel saving measure.
- Joel
N-Wheel Drive?
"...but it was found that towing fully-loaded planes put unacceptable strains on their undercarriages, and the idea had to be abandoned.
It's not clear at first sight how the Airbus wheel-motor scheme would avoid similar problems..."
A tow would normally be attached only to the nose wheel part of the undercarriage - presumably this idea would be applied to all of the wheels (including the bigger ones under the wings), thus spreading out any forces.
Perhaps more useful if designed in from the start rather than added on.
Yes, but
If the plane was on a treadmill... never mind.
two wheel drive?
Or just power the wing wheels... gives tank like turning and should push the plane rather than pull it?
Other option is to get greenpeace activists to pull the planes around by long ropes. Gives them something to do and helps the environment, how could the refuse?
Fly Me To The Moon......
"I still think building runways at 50000 feet is the most rational fuel saving measure."
Spectrum were a long way ahead of you in their constant battle with the Mysterons.
re: A weighty issue
Well, how much fuel won't be burnt? How much does that weigh? Electric motors are very goot at torque and it's not like you want your airbus taxiing round a hairpin at 40mph, is it.
I would be for this even if it didn't reduce overall emissions if only for the fact that there would be less jat fumes at the airport. y'know, that place with all them people (and the necessary lungs) sitting around.
Re: A weighty issue
Wheels have motors already. They are spun up before landing to the landing speed to minimise the strain on the undercarriage. So the weight is already the actual weight difference is between the current motors which are designed to spin up wheels to the equivalent revs for 200km/h+ and a motor that can move the plane on the ground. This in fact may end up requiring the same weight and the only difference is that the motor will have two different switching arrangements for low and high revs. In fact you can also use this for breaking as well which will eat some weight from the breaking system so overall this may end up weighting less than the current undercarriage assembly.
Come on we already have towing tugs at airports, just get them to tow the damn things to the end of the runway, no need to re invent the wheel, literally.
Engine start.
A couple of things.
Firstly, it occurs to me that having your engines run a bit, tested and warmed through before asking for full thrust on takeoff is almost certainly a good thing. Secondly, I've been on a couple that have refused to start on internal power and had to call for a trolley-ack to supplement the starting process (one of these tripped a breaker somewhere and plunged the cabin into darkness, causing some consternation among the more nervous passengers). Such an occurance could cause something of a problem with the thing marooned at the end of the runway.
Maybe they're only contemplating this approach for the taxi-in after landing? That would be more sensible.
As most of the damage caused by plane emissions is when they are airborne, it willmake little difference.
Bit like the pointless carrier bag debate (most can be recycled and many are biodegradable).
Make a tiny gesture to hide the real problems....
@ Anton
The only aircraft I know that has a system to spin-up wheels before landing is a Cessna Citation (I'de be interested to learn of others). Then it's only on the nosewheel as an option and uses compressed air to turn the wheels. There are plenty of patents for finned wheels to allow the aircraft's movement through the air to spin wheels, but I can't find examples in use.
I agree that electric motors could be used for regenerative braking, but the energy transferred from kinetic to electric must go somewhere. The aircraft's batteries seem the obvious choice for this, but the batteries must have sufficient capacity to store the energy from the electric braking. So the aircraft must land with partially/mostly discharged batteries. Friction brakes would still be required for landings or rejected take-offs with charged batteries.
All adds up to more weight. More weight == more fuel needed
@Paul Bottomley
Guess you missed this part?
"Colourful beardy biz kingpin Richard Branson has lately sought to use a somewhat similar idea with his Virgin fleet, in which the jets would have been towed to and from the runway by ground vehicles. This is sometimes done for various reasons with empty aircraft, but it was found that towing fully-loaded planes put unacceptable strains on their undercarriages, and the idea had to be abandoned."
@Anton Ivanov
Rubbish. About the only aircraft that has a system to spin up wheels before landing is the Cessna Citation business jet (and even then it is an option, not standard). It uses compressed bleed air from the engines to blow on vanes to spin up the nose wheels only, not the main undercarriage, and this is not to reduce tyre wear, but to reduce throwing up debris into the engines when landing on rough strips.
I was helping to chuck Phantoms of the front end of the Ark, we hooked the straps onto strong points on the fuselage.
Towing aircraft in a similar way would obliviate the 'excess stresses' on the nose wheel strut. Though, considering the stresses that the landing gear goes through I wonder whether the nose wheel would notice it.
The idea of having wheel motors which would actually be powerful enough to move a fully fuelled & loaded aircraft and light enough for the aircraft to actually take off, together with a power source sufficient to drive these motors, is laughable. Perhaps in 20 or 50 years the technology would be available, now - no.
Icon; 'cos that's what would happen if you tried to fly with wheel motors fitted.
Silly idea
No pilot of any sort of plane will accept the idea of only turning the engine on at the end of the runway, and immediately taking off. Power checks are needed first to give you confidence they aren't going to fail at the worst possible time, which is immediately after take off. In commercial jets this is done on the taxi out, smaller planes stop at the hold points, in either case it involves burning as much fuel as a good few minutes taxiing.
Finally the idea of putting electric motors on the landing gear powerful enough to taxi the plane, even slowly, is fraught with difficulties. The gear is designed to be very light otherwise you need even more powerful hydraulic gear to retract it. Also under emergency gravity assisted deployment if it is too heavy it might rip itself off. It is enough of a challenge to compensate for the aerodynamic changes while deploying the gear without factoring in further weight and balance instability.
Lastly by far the most important consideration is fuel efficiency in the air where the plane spends more of its time, and any excess aircraft weight is a non starter. Its just another hair brained idea by the carbon cultists, which ends up causing more problems that it solves, and will have no effect on climate change.
@Peter Depledge
"I agree that electric motors could be used for regenerative braking, but the energy transferred from kinetic to electric must go somewhere."
Yeah, it can be transferred in to heat. You put a hefty resistor bank on board and, once the batteries are full, just burn off the speed (literally - almost).
If this idea was adopted...
Firstly, the aircraft would taxi to holding point CLOSE to the end of the runway and then go through the engine warm up procedure. This is what Branson was planning.
Secondly, there would be backup power available at the parking lot surely? Airlines are not that dumb - cheap but not dumb.
@Peter Fielden-Weston
Isn't it the main gear that takes the vast majority of the stress on a commercial jet? The nose wheel is mainly there for steering... and stopping the horrible scraping sound of the aircraft frame on tarmac.
And for those bitching that taxiing isn't the problem, well it was a big enough problem for Branson to bother trying to tow his heffalumps. Taxiing is horrendously inefficient; those engines are designed to run fast and high. For an airline manufacturer to propose this solution they obviously think that there is an operational saving to be made (although this IS Airbus...).
@Anonymous Coward
UMMM yes I missed that, never mind, thank god I am not in charge of a plane.... I would never have the skill to dodge in and out of all those tugs and luggage trolley's racing up and down the runway.
I must get another bar of chocolate now excuse me
Airlines already doing part of this
Delta, Northwest, American all - I believe - require pilots to only start one engine at the gate for taxi and start the second (third, fourth, etc.) engine(s) when they reach the end of their taxi prior to take-off. The reverse is done on landing: only one engine is left on once the aircraft is on the taxiway.
The reason for this - and, at least Delta, has been doing this for well over 8 years - is, as Jim points out above, taxiing IS horrendously expensive in a limited sort of way. Delta started this procedure back in the late '90's to reduce the amount of fuel used. Even a few minutes of jet operation adds up over hundreds of aircraft each day.
PR Bollocks
The extra weight won't help. Rather use an external tractor to drag the aircraft around. The weight stays on the ground and there are no compormises of size/weight etc that need to be made. An electric ground tractor can be more efficient than anything they can put in the plane itself.
It's all just PR bollocks for an industry falling over itself to greenwash itself.
...am I suddenly reminded of that little bit in "Man vs Animal" special a few years ago? Especially about the one with the elephant vs. a gaggle of midgets. All hitched to one or the other of two airplanes.
Personally tho, the dwarf horde would be a *great* towing service. Anything to keep down The Great Midget Rebellion. They'd be too tired to uprise against us tallists after an 8-hour shift of shifting planes.
What everyone has missed so far...
If you look at the gear, all the available space is already used by the hubs, the brake packs and the brake cooling.
The only way I can see you'd get motors in there is to ditch some of the brakes (not really practical - it's all needed, and nothing is likely to outperform the existing carbon/carbon packs so you can't make them any smaller), or make the wheels/gear larger to make the space for the motors (again impractical as there isn't room).
There's also the minor problems of finding a motor capable of surviving an environment where it will go rapidly from a coldsoak of -50C or worse, up to living in close proximity to 600C brakes.
Plus you'd need a motor which could survive the mechnical inputs it'd see during landing.
I also suspect that even if you could build it and make it work that the weight penalty might increase fuel consumption to the point where it would outweigh any benefits on the ground.
I personally suspect things like electric engine start and other design changes on B787 and A350 will be much more beneficial and have the advantage of actually being possible & practical to implement
Does this mean that these planes will finally....
...get a REVERSE gear?

Ethiopian Singer Mahmoud Ahmed
January 20, 2013
The Playhouse will host an exclusive cross-continent collaboration between legendary Ethiopian singer Mahmoud Ahmed – in his first Melbourne visit – performing live with Melbourne-based Ethio-jazz band the J Azmaris on 20 January.
Described as 'the Red Sea's most seductive soul singer' and a living legend in his native country, Mahmoud Ahmed deftly combines the traditional Amharic music of Ethiopia -- essentially a five-note scale that features jazz-style singing offset by complex circular rhythm pattern -- with pop and freestyle jazz.
Known for his swooping multi-octave voice, Ahmed's recordings defy the normal definitions of Afro pop, with jazztimes.com describing his music as "a deeply melancholy mixture of guitar, organ and horns that sounds somewhere between a Southern soul band and James Brown's Famous Flames".

USDA seeks authority to transfer funds to offset sequestration cuts
Agriculture Department Secretary Tom Vilsack can move money in-between accounts within the same bureau, but not across the agency under a special provision called Interchange Authority. Vilsack has officially asked Congress for use of that authority in an effort to stunt the negative effects of sequestration at his agency. At at recent House hearing, Republican lawmakers questioned why more agencies haven't movasked Congress for similar permission.

When I was younger, my friends and I used to play war games in the apartment complex I inhabited with my parents. We were all on the cusp of leaving childhood, and entering the awkward stage of puberty-hood (you know, growing up with fur). We were enamored by the age where we didn't care what girls thought of us while shooting fake rifle bullets and tossing imaginary grenades at one another (I was a pretty good shot). I look back at those times fondly, and know that those war-playing days rightfully belong in the past. I suppose the filmmakers of Red Dawn just refuse to grow up.
Red Dawn opens with a montage of visual political turmoil that whizzes by too quickly for anything to make sense. The point of the opening credits: North Korea is pissed off. A cheerful high school football game takes place in the small town of Spokane, Washington, and the main characters are quickly introduced. Let's see, there's Jed Eckert the hardcore military hero on leave (Chris Hemsoworth), Robert the cool uber nerd (Josh Hutcherson), Matt Eckert the troubled football player (Josh Peck), and Toni and Erica who are the tough sexy pretty gals (Adrianne Palicki and Isabel Lucas). After the game, the power goes out, and everyone retires home for the night. The following day, North Korea rolls into town, and chaos soon follows.
I know that movies are imaginative, and suspending disbelief is the name of the game, but Red Dawn was too ridiculous to buy into. For example, a montage in the movie is dedicated to high schoolers learning military tactics from Jed. I can believe Jed when he holds his own against the North Korean soldiers, but I refuse to accept the fact that these lazy teenagers learn enough from Jed to take down North Korean soldiers! I will always refuse!
The Wolverines, as they soon call themselves, spend the majority of the movie taking out soldiers and talking about their feelings. These guys are at war, yet still have time to annoy us with their first world problems. I wouldn't have minded if it weren't for the cheesy lines uttered by everyone! Also, why couldn't the movie dive into North Korea's side of things? The main villain, Captain Lo, seems to have a constant worried face about him. What's his story? I bet his life path was much more interesting than these kids from Spokane, Washington. If only the filmmakers had decided to tackle both sides to create more emotional tension and suspense. Oh well.
Look, obviously this movie wasn't for me. None of the actors conveyed emotion that matched the seriousness of the situation. Everything about the story is too playful, which is why the scene with the murder of Jed's father doesn't hit home. If he doesn't seem to care, then why should I care? Why should anyone?

Inexpensive Cake Stand Help
- v
- VTtoMAtoCAfoodie Jan 27, 2007 04:00 PM
I'm looking to buy 12 cake stands for my wedding in March. Essentially my friend is making my wedding cakes, and we're making small two-tiered cakes for each table as a centerpiece. The least expensive cake stand I've been able to find is at target for $7.99, but shipping and handling is $8.99. So essentially it's a $17 cake stand. Does anyone know where I can find less expensive stands? I went to Ikea today in Emeryville, but the stand there was too big. Please let me know if you have any ideas of where I can find cake stands for $10 and under. I live in Napa, but I can easily make it to San Francisco. Thanks so much!
They don't discount shipping for ordering more than one! I checked it on Amazon. However the Target site shows the cake stand and cover and has a block to check to find local availability in their stores. They do say that prices may vary!! But if you just go pick them up at the stores, no shipping. They list a couple of Napa stores. It might be worth checking out.
Have you checked with bakery/ cake baking supply type places? IN NY, NY Cake, online Sweet Celebrations or similar? I dont know what your concept is, but they might have items that would serve. You might even be able to make something and save a few bucks.
I got mine at a 99cents store type place. Do you have any of those near where you live? Also at baking supply stores they often have disposable cake stands that look decent.
Anyone that does cakes should have access to such basic supplies as cake circles/doilies. Tuffboard (brand name) http://www.tuffboardcakeboards.com/ is probably one of the better places but has a modest cost involved. It is just craft work to turn those things into gorgeous stands.
How about just using pretty plates and having them sit on top of a stand (something like a couple of pretty napkin rings or Wilton tier plates) and then draping tuile/ivy/flowers along the plate and down? If you use a tall cake stand, with a two tiered cake on top, your guests might not be able to see each other across the table. You want the centerpieces to be lower than eye level. You could also try EBay.
i bought a cheap cake stand at michael's - the craft store? you wouldn't think they'd have it but they have all this bakeware stuff. i don't remember how much it cost (sorry!) but it was fairly cheap & i think they had other selections. also, do you have industrial cooking stores in your area? they tend to sell things bulk & cheaper?
Try your basic, cheap, plastic Lazy Susan, but just make sure it is round. This was a clever tip from Cook's Illustrated website. I had never thought of it before, but by golly they work just as good as an expensive, professional cake turntable. However, I cannot speak to the durability question.
re: jerry i h
I am not for sure if the OP had a turntable in mind, but if any kids or playful adults are at the event, I would highly advise against it.
Perhaps give it a twirl and see? ;-)
i would look at a restaurant supply or baking supply store.. but I would look at goodwill or of the sort for them, different but similiar (such as white or glass) could be nice... or ask friends if they have ones to borrow for the day... if all else fails, I would look at buying a round of wood for the top and another piece for the base (thinking of something like a finial) that could be nailed together and then painted/sealed.
re: Alice Q
Thanks, I love the idea too. I think what I'm going to end up doing is using Fabbri cherry jars and gluing a plate to the top of those :)
re: VTtoMAtoCAfoodie
When I worked for a flower shop we cut down a length of 8 inch plastic pipe to make risers for table arrangements. Spray glue held white satin on the outside and the container sat on top. We ended up using these quite often, changing the colors to suit the wedding.
I know it is too lake to submit this...seeing how you already probably got married. But I, too, was in the same situation. I am getting married in June and just found cake stands and www.annsbridalbargains.com they were $5 apiece. Just FYI if someone else is looking.....
re: ccarter
I actually registered on this web site just to send ccarter a thank you. I've been searching the web for deals on cheap cake stands for my upcoming wedding, and until now hadn't found anything that was even close to being a deal. I found the $5 acrylic cake stand on the site you suggested, and it was really pretty. I'm so happy you posted your comment. Congratulations and best of luck in your marriage!
re: ccarter
I was wondering if anyone had any more suggestions for finding cheap cake stands. They have raised the price on the website to $6, which still isn't bad. I would even be interested in purchasing from a former bride who doesn't need them anymore. Please give any suggestions.
I am doing the same thing and would like advise on how to let the guests know that they can go get cake off of another table...sharing???
What about Mason Jars? Set you plate on top or glue it. They come in different sizes and you could fill them with coordinating fruit or flavors of your cake to pretty it up. Ribbon, toulle, flowers and voila you have a centerpiece. Plus mason jars are in most supermarkets and discount stores like Target and Walmart.
I recently bought a simple, white Cordon Bleu cake stand at Shackford's on Main in Napa. I can't remember the price - I don't think it was under $10, but maybe $12 to $14? See what they can do for you. I like the Fabbri cherry jar idea.
I recently bought two dome-covered stands at Bed Bath and Beyond for $9.99. They resemble the diner model when the dome is on, but for your wedding cakes, they will easily do the trick without the dome. They also had a $40 model, but I passed. The inexpensive ones made supermarket cakes look wonderful at a recent party we gave.
re: RGC1982
$9.99? That is a really good deal. Did is work out well?
OMG I have such an assortment of cakes stands and domes. I have expensive ones and then a couple that are not as expesnive but sturdy and nice looking. One from Linens and Things converts into a punch bowl. It was either 9.99 or 19.99. You flip the pedistal, and the stem is hollow. Flip the dome, and the dome is now a bowl. Really handy. Now if I only baked cakes more often!
This response is so late you've probably married already and have a couple of kids by now!!!
when i made the epicurious cupcakes for the tower at a wedding once, the cake stand was made of the silver cardboard cake discs....and each layer was divided by dollar store plastic champagne flutes or what not, hot glued in place. It actually looked pretty cute!
Hi, I'm in L.A., & there is a well-equipped store here called "Kake Kreations" that carries a myriad of cake-stand bases & sizes, as well as Wilton stuff & supplies. Perhaps they mail-order? In your commercial downtown area (South of Market in SF?), there should be some good restaurant supply stores. These types of places are a goldmine for cooking, serving & baking supplies. Congrats on the wedding & good luck with the cakes!! -Jet
Linens and Things has one for $9.99 made by Anchor. It has a dome cover that you can leave off for the wedding,. The stand can even be inverted so that the dome can fit inside it when turned upside down to make a giant goblet in the future if you want to use it that way - maybe a trifle or banana pudding, etc.. I have two, and you can't beat them. I doubt thatt hey would have 12 in stock, however, so you may need to call and ask them to get them for you. They are made by Anchor. I would not order for home delivery unless I could get free (and insured) shipping.
What about using those clear glass 8" building bricks from somewhere like Home Depot? Turned flat on its side, it's really pretty. Cheap, solid and you can use them afterwards....unlike 12 cake stands sitting in your garage!
Hi, there! I was just digging around the Web looking for cake plates for my wedding (I'm doing a cake buffet) and came across this thread. I'm thinking you're probably married by now, yes? Which solution did you end up going with? And, um... do you want to sell your plate collection??
re: joanofarc13
Did you try Martha Stewart at KMart? I got a nice, inexpensive one there, and being a mass marketer, you should be able to get a bunch of them...
This link shows you a great way to make a great looking wedding cake stand for really cheap and it will be exactly what you want.
I know this is way past the wedding but it may help another. Get a crystal candlestick and a glass plate from a dollar store. Adhere the candlestick to the middle of the bottom of the plate with a glue that will adhere glass to glass like E6000 or Goop. It makes a very attractive cake plate. If you need to make a cupcake stand, do the same thing with graduated plates, making sure that the candlestick is tall enough to clear the top of the cupcakes. Cost $2 plus the glue.

Girl scout troops from all over our area met in Charlottesville Thursday night to pitch in and help with a big project for a very special group of people.
"People in Iraq can't buy girl scout cookies, and they don't normally get anything sweet," said girl scout Alyssa McIver.
Thursday night Alyssa, along with about fifty other girl scouts, made cards and confetti, and helped pack up cookies for troops serving in Iraq.
"People bought boxes for themselves, then they bought boxes for the troops," said Shania Breckenridge, another scout.
The girls say the troops have earned themselves at least a box or two of thin mints or peanut butter patties.
"They're there to serve our country and they're helpful and they just need something sweet sometimes," said Sydney Jablonski.
Thanks to some good selling, that's exactly what the troops will get. Scout leaders say they expect to ship nearly 1600 boxes. That's more than double their original goal.
Pattie Anderson received cookies while she was in Iraq last year.
"All of a sudden it's like you're home, for five minutes while you're eating these cookies. It's such an incredible sensory overload and it's also so heartwarming to know that strangers back home cared enough about you to send you these cookies," said Anderson, who serves with the 80th Infantry from Virginia.
This is only phase one of "Operation Cookie." There will be another chance to send more cookies next month.
"You may see cookie booths set up throughout the area, throughout Virginia Skyline, where people can buy cookies and then send them overseas to these service members in Fallujah," said Tammie Otto, a girl scout leader, who once served in the military and has been to Iraq.
The girls hope the troops like the packages they're sending tonight.
"I think they'll really enjoy the cookies. Because of all their hard work, they deserve a special treat," said scout Kaleigh Smith.
The cookies are being sent to the 80th Division, a group of troops from right here in Virginia.

FORT WAYNE – Sounding as much like a religious leader as a politician and civil servant, Mayor Tom Henry on Tuesday called people of all faiths in Fort Wayne to prayer.
Flanked by a Christian minister, an Islamic imam and an IPFW university teacher of religious studies, the mayor announced from his office that he had developed and was supporting a May 5 event that will include prayers, singing, dances and readings from eight religious traditions represented in the city – Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Judaism, Islam, Sikhism, Unitarian-Universalism and Baha'i.
Prayers for the City – A Celebration of One Community, Many Faiths will take place at 4 p.m. in the University of Saint Francis Performing Arts Center, formerly the Scottish Rite Center.
Henry called the event something very unique in the city that's never been done before. The last time something similar took place was after the 9/11 attacks in 2001, when then-Mayor Graham Richard asked for prayers for victims and families in New York and elsewhere, he said.
This is the first time to pray for our city in general, Henry said, adding he was asking for prayer to face the challenges that are facing our city, state and our country. Among them, he said, are the still-struggling economy and concerns about crime in Fort Wayne.
Three men have died and one was critically wounded in the city from gun violence in the past seven days.
But Henry said no specific happening or friction among religious groups caused him to support the event.
He said it was developed with the help of the Rev. Terry Anderson, executive director of Fort Wayne's Interfaith Hospitality Network program for the homeless; Imam J. Tamir Rasheed of the Fort Wayne Islamic Center; and Michael Spath, continuing lecturer at IPFW and head of the Northeast Indiana Center for Middle East Peace.
All are longtime participants in, and advocates for, inter-religious dialogue.
However, not all area denominations will be participating.
When asked about recent news that a Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod pastor had been reprimanded and apologized to members after participating in an interfaith prayer event after the Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings in Connecticut, organizers acknowledged that theological differences might keep some away. But, they said, they wanted to invite the entire city.
In a telephone interview after the news conference, the Rev. Daniel May of Fort Wayne, president of the Indiana District of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod, said its pastors and officials would not take part because the event contradicts Scripture.
The synod, which has churches nationwide, is one of the most conservative branches of Lutheranism. It has about 40 congregations in greater Fort Wayne and between 10,000 and 20,000 adherents, he said.
The Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod, May said, takes Jesus at face value when he said, I am the way, the truth and the life; no one comes to the father but by me.
If we're there and we participate, it sort of gives the impression that all religions are good and equally valid and all roads lead to the same place, and that would be to contradict that scripture, he said.
One guy praying to Allah and one guy standing up and praying to this god or that god – that's really not what we believe, teach and confess. So in good conscience, if we are really honest to ourselves, we couldn't do that.
May said Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod pastors and members would be able to offer prayers for the city in their own congregations – something Spath said the event's leaders encouraged.
Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod may join in interfaith community service projects or activism in conformity with the denomination's values, May said.
Henry, who is Roman Catholic, said he hoped the May 5 event would showcase the city's religious diversity by including more than Christians.
The first week in May is the traditional time for the National Day of Prayer, which is organized by primarily conservative Christians.
This year's local gathering, sponsored by Associated Churches of Fort Wayne and Allen County, will take place at noon May 2 at Grand Wayne Center.
John Perlich, the mayor's spokesman, said Tuesday that Henry planned to attend that event as well.
Henry said he decided to become part of the new interfaith effort because, as head of the city, I feel it is appropriate for my office to stand up and say we need to work with various faiths.
He added: We do not feel this should be objectionable to anyone.
Spath said the interfaith group hopes not only to have programs to address problems such as violence and poverty, but to start a new era of service and dialogue and compassion among members of all faiths.
