That JAL a/c looks like a 767, while those at ICN you thought might be Philippine Airlines are actually aircraft in Asiana's new colours. They do look somewhat similar to the Philippine livery. Looking forward to reading your trip report.

Really appreciate the comments for each photo and the snaps. It looks like we have similar tastes- I love food pics , now I have to resign myself to the dominos pizza in the fridge! That JAL was a 767 (duno what type) That’s Asianas new livery. (not Philippines) Poor BA 744, tail looks dreadful indeed. _________________ eP007 Back to top stealthpilot Member Joined: 19 Dec 2006 Posts: 2325 Location: BLR, DXB Posted: Thu Aug 09, 2007 6:28 am    Post subject: HAWK21M wrote: Vortices. Mel you could answer this. Personally when I talk about vortices I refer to the spiraling vortices trailing off the wing. The white condensation is formed just over the wing surface by compressions and pressure changes of the moving air- are those still technically called vortices? Is it (the white vortices/condensation in question) just a layer of uneven airflow or does it rotates and spin fluidly like wingtip vortices? _________________ eP007 Back to top HAWK21M Member Joined: 19 Dec 2006 Posts: 8132 Location: Mumbai, INDIA Posted: Thu Aug 09, 2007 9:33 pm    Post subject: A vortex is a spinning, often turbulent, flow [or any spiral motion] with closed streamlines. Most often caused by intermixing of differential pressure airflow. As far as I recollect its termed vortex or vortices,if at the wingtip its termed wingtip vortices. If you have a different reasoning.Pls tell me as I could be wrong.But dont think so. regds MEL _________________ Think of the Brighter side !!!

Hey thanks Nikhil - are you all set to head back to BLR? Looking forward to scheduling our next meet in Sep/Oct (hopefully changes to 09 arrivals by then).

On an aerofoil, vortex generation and shedding occurs on the trailing edge of the aerofoil and not at the leading edge of the aerofoil. Conditions are generated at the leading edge and they propogate with intensifying intensity towards the trailing edge, which leads to breaking of the boundary layer and hence the shedding of the vortices. Hope that explains it Ram P Back to top HAWK21M Member Joined: 19 Dec 2006 Posts: 8132 Location: Mumbai, INDIA Posted: Fri Aug 10, 2007 10:44 am    Post subject: lambuhere1 wrote: MEL I dont think you can term them as vortices.

Hope that explains it Ram P Ram. Turbulent Air & Differential pressure intermixing causes this effect.The Air striking the LE of the Wing near the Engine Inlet pylon creating the turbulence. regds MEL _________________ Think of the Brighter side !!!

Few Questions: 1) Next time if you happen to be in SIN let me know we can meet up as I am based here. 2) I see a PEPSI logo on your dinner tray? Does SW serve Pepsi Cola on flights. As far as I know SQ and most other airlines only serve Coca-Cola as they have exclusive arrangments with Coke. (check the dinner photo on BLR-SIN route) 3)In your opinion dont know wether you have flown 9W new aircrafts, does 9W score better then SQ's new ecconomy class seating. 4) Whenver I flown on SQ 777 in a business class immediately after take off I hear the massive noise from the engines this has happened 3 times....did you feel the same when you flew from ICN to SFO...

Ofcourse, it was flying across the pond, but considering that people bash up the A340-300 for its hair-dryer engines.... It was quite leisurely - about a 45 seconds roll for reach take off. The 343 takes about a similar time frame (based on my previous 343 flights).
