Fun Facts: Airplanes & Airports Part 5

Gloucestershire Airport in England used to blast Tina Turner music to scare off birds and it worked better than blaring bird distress calls. 

Potatoes absorb and reflect radio wave signals the same way that human bodies do. So, in the past, engineers have actually used them to test and improve Wi-Fi signals on planes.

On July 23, 1983, Air Canada Flight 143 with sixty-nine people on board ran out of fuel at an altitude of 7.7 miles. Miraculously, the pilot managed to glide the plane down safely, as he was a very experienced glider pilot. The issue, 2,300 pounds (1,043 kilograms) of jet fuel had been put in instead of 2,300 kilograms (5,070 pounds). 

The CEO of Japan Airlines, Todu Yamanaka, makes less than his pilots, takes a bus to work, and eats in the cafeteria. When interviewed about this, he said that businesses who pursue money first, fail.

Airplane food isn’t very tasty because our sense of smell and taste decrease by 20 to 50% during flights.

Astronomy Picture of the Day

Thor’s Helmet
Image Credit & Copyright: Josep Drudis, Christian Sasse

Explanation: Thor not only has his own day (Thursday), but a helmet in the heavens. Popularly called Thor’s Helmet, NGC 2359 is a hat-shaped cosmic cloud with wing-like appendages. Heroically sized even for a Norse god, Thor’s Helmet is about 30 light-years across. In fact, the cosmic head-covering is more like an interstellar bubble, blown by a fast wind from the bright, massive star near the bubble’s center. Known as a Wolf-Rayet star, the central star is an extremely hot giant thought to be in a brief, pre-supernova stage of evolution. NGC 2359 is located about 15,000 light-years away toward the constellation of the Great Overdog. This sharp image is a combination of deep images taken in light emitted by hydrogen (red) and oxygen (blue). The star in the center of Thor’s Helmet is expected to explode in a spectacular supernova sometime within the next few thousand years.
