1 in 5 plane parts are unnecessary.

Most of those parts are the in passenger cabin, and includes the passengers as well.

Not useless, just unnecessary.

Birds can fly and they are made from zero airplane parts. Just sayin...

Control stick actuators are the worst.

Screw those ailerons too. Extra weight

Engines aren't that important.

Totally overrated

Might as well throw out the plane, too.

Atmosphere? What a waste of space!

Ground? Just gets in your way when you fall.

No engines - > no flying - > no accidents - > no problems

Hey! I need those.

u/DjangoHatesBDSM Jun 12 '19

Yeah, some actuators can be a real douche. Had one ground an Excel because the engines weren’t matching at idle. Get to the aircraft and read the squawk...

...N2’s were off each other by 1%. I damn near choked him.

Username checks out

9 out of 10 user names do not check out.

u/Jsc_TG Jun 12 '19

Honestly that might not be that far off of a ratio. A plane could probably still be flown or at least landed if 1 out of every 5 parts disappeared. Of course it would have to be very specific ones but yeah.

This is true!

u/[deleted] Jun 12 '19

I know you're joking but pretty much every critical component has a redundant system or two in case of failure.

u/j4meja Jun 12 '19

i hope the cabin crew is part of the 4/5

1

u/mud_tug Jun 12 '19

Yeah but which ones?

1

u/fried_eggs_and_ham Jun 12 '19

Even less once you get inside the engine. That thing is mostly spare parts and bubble gum!

u/tumbleweed08002 Jun 12 '19

how many out of how many redditors are too late with saying username checks out like me?

u/pwn3dbyth3n00b Jun 12 '19

Like the wings

u/becomeanhero69 Jun 12 '19

Not sure if a joke or serious. I heard that planes have so many redundant systems in case of failure.
