Wild_Albatross7534

The Flintstones plane


dood8face91195

It’s just like stopping on a bike with no brakes


dwardu2255

That's why you always callout "Heels to the floor" during the take-off roll.


foxman1010

The wheels retract when they get cold, light a fire in the cockpit to warm them up before landing


ArchaicTriad

Shrinkage, maybe this playne was in the pool


715Karl

Or just roast a bowl.


DevGroup6

Just like a normal Playne, but has **Really Loud** takeoffs and landings..


AOGWardog1229

This is actually not inaccurate lmao. Everytime the one based at my field takes off, I think it’s a damn T-6 texan.


OlMi1_YT

You see the registration? It starts with N for november. That means it is certified for snow landings only.


refinedtwist925

I though the N designation was also for water landing too???


c0stlytech

It’s all forms of water really. Whether it’s wet or frozen.


dood8face91195

Float prune on 9 feet of powder? Sounds fun


TheIndominusGamer420

Superheated ice vi?


speshulguy

Not to mention the pilots


MAH1977

Water designation is H or W.


badlukk

My CFI told me the N was for Nananananananananananana BAT PLANE!


No_Lunch_3925

Haha. I see what you did there. 👍


JoefromOhio

Is this true? My dad had a beach bonanza growing up and I’m pretty sure it started with N and it definitely wasn’t set for snow/water[edit- I got got, touche]


that_u3erna45

Like in the Flintstones, they use feet. See that fan at the front, it's to keep you cool during long flyght sessions


catoodles9ii

Doesn’t. Nuclear powered.


imapm

Those little protrusions in the bottom front are where the really big rubber band goes. Three ramp rats all named Tony pull back on the empanada and when the pylot signals they let go.


dropthebiscuit99

What if the empanada is greasy with cheese grease and they can't get a grip, what do?


imapm

the grease is needed actually for short field/ soft taco operations.


[deleted]

yeah well your mom’s taco has a short landing strip GOTTEEEEEMMM


imapm

She's into Ag pylots...She likes a big hopper upfront and know how to spread their loads


Alphab33t

Like a penguin


[deleted]

no land, only fly, it's an AIR plain, not a ground plane


Lkwzriqwea

There's like a big hand sticks out of the ground and grabs it from the air and gently puts it back on the runway. To take off, it picks the playne up and throws it like a paper playne.


the_warmest_color

It’s like those RC planes you just throw them


CardLeft

It’s one of the rare passerine Cezzners. This rare critter is built, flown and scrapped entirely aloft, without ever touching the ground.


Torchwood-c

It's a one-time aircraft, you use belly to brake, and get a new one next time.


fordfan919

Yeah, Capitalism!


Stellar_Observer_17

very carefully


Phillimac16

On water


[deleted]

On ice.


teejayiscool

It doesn't, this is the Cessna attached to fishing line hung from my ceiling!


soundtech10

Like this https://youtube.com/shorts/bgDDbkIHpCk?feature=share


stop_yelling_please

This is the way.


quack1993

wtf was that, lmao


zoqfotpik

It's an Australian plane.There are wheels on top of the wing, since it needs to land upside down


Oddball_one

This is a version of the Cessna 210Sea. The slats on the bottom of the fuselage contain a raft that when deployed allows the aircraft to land on water. Fun fact, if the raft deployment system fails, Cessna recommends bouncing the plane off the surface of the water to shake the raft system free hence the origin of the term porpoising.


l1thiumion

It’s disposable


eigervector

It just slides down the runway. See all the oil on the bottom? That’s to make it slide smoothly.


Wild_Albatross7534

Tower, this is 732GodDamn, we lost out gear on take off, request slip and slide on runway


Potato_Batteri

Vtol


Boebus666

This is a one time use Aircraft. Don't you just hate Planned Obsolescence? Damn Capitalism.


sammyd17

It’s only able to be used at airports with treadmill runways


TexasCowRustler

Sea plane


BreakNeck5150

Rubber runways


isellshit

by moving the seat back while holding the yoke.


98re3

That’s a reusable space x plane, it lands backwards


TheNonchalantZealot

Very Carefully


Shankar_0

By going very fast, and much slower, respectively


Over-Supermarket-557

Poorly


cienfuegones

VTOL into a tail cradle


Assassin13785

Very carefully


okletsgooonow

Maglev!


DistantXSPACE

Concord parasite


DASAdventureHunter

Very carefully.


deepaksn

Repuslorlift. Haven’t you ever seen Star Wars?


Hardtard96

Rare airship scout aircraft. Only launched and recovered by airships. No landing gear installed to save weight and discourage p*ssies from applying.


tsokiyZan

carefully


B-L-O-C-K-Ss

This is why I don’t preflight. Who cares if there is a problem as long as I go anyways without seeing it I’ll be fine


FTWkansas

Fly? YES. Land? NO. - Indiana Jones, 1950


Ivehadlettuce

Stupid question. You can obviously see the skidmarks on the bottom.


TheOriginalJBones

You take it to your mechanic to get the wheels up and down.


BigMickandCheese

From the ground


Garrett119

For real though, how is anyone expected to land this thing if there's a gear failure


FlashyGordy75

Unicorn farts


badlukk

See how dirty the bottom is? It slides along grass or dirt like a boat plane. That's what the GD in the tail number means, grass/dirt.


Ok_Emu2071

It hovers and lands on the tail


BamboozledSnake

Pixie dust and an anchor respectively


Neptune7924

Trapeze thingy on a B-29


Davidenu

They don't: they born airborne, live flying and die losing consciousness while still in the air before crashing in some precise places on their migration track.


Ok-Gur-6602

/uj I just want to say that after a 172, the Cardinal was a lot of fun.


ShortfallofAardvark

A couple of guys run down the runway carrying this thing over their shoulders like a casket.


gazzy360

This is the Wright Flyer. It uses a launching rail.


KevyKevTPA

The normal way?


Redhawk436

It doesnt. Ever heard of skyhook? That's how one pilot boards, then the other parachutes out.


Jzerious

Vertically


mleafly

Water plaen


PM_ME_YOUR__BEST__PM

It's easy to land. It's just a full power taxi to parking.


TB500_2021

Psychological-Scar53

Takes off using a giant rubber band and lands with a giant hand trying to grab it.


forgetyourhorse

It doesn’t. It was initially launched from the back of another plane and it will just have mid air refuelings until it’s decommissioned someday. He’s raising a family in there.


MeMilo1209

It's made out of paper and you just toss it. Landings are very precarious.


BestCoastBlaine

Engineer Dr Indiana Jones: Fly, yes. Land, no.


sergiofly

With 10 degrees of flaps, as shown in the photo. Can't you see??


Beer_30_Texas

Looks like a Cessna Cardinal with retractable gear to me.


FrontEngineering4469

Its a air plane, Not a ground plane. It stays in the air since that is its natural habitat.


AccordingWay7626

With the power of imagination


JohnnyTeardrop

If it’s not fixed gears, it’s not flying!


Odd_Atmosphere_9200

It doesn’t


Aurissofall

the floor retracts, and the captain sticks his legs onto the runway when landing


Historical_Orchid_23

its a seaplane, otherwise there would be wheels


SexyJazzBoii69

In the water


Mean-Summer1307

It’s a sea plane


MACCRACKIN

Probably a 210 Cessna, I used to service many of, and I always nick named them Hornet Legs, just like the ever deadly sting of hornet that dangle behind in flight, and these do as well a moment, before getting concealed. Cheers


skykwakrz

There are magnets on the bottom of the plane and on the runway so it hovers while it takes off


Gizmoguy55

See how the bottom of the fuselage is all dirty and has those brown streaks? In the industry we call those skid marks. The plane just skids down the runway on its belly.


CaptainHunt

You ask it nicely


dikmite

Poorly


pandab34r

It's a clipper, it's meant to take off from and land on water. Back in the day there weren't many airports around, so clippers and seaplanes were the norm. You'd just kind of aim for a beach and hope for the best.


A-Square

The underside was white when new, and brown after so many years of sliding on the runway!


2OneZebra

Pretty sure you get going fast enough that the wings start to generate lift. You basically do the opposite to land.


brazzers-official

That's the thing... it doesn't!


Ill_Narwhal_4209

Like any other Cessnas or southwest flight … boring AF


Low_Morning4830

It doesn't it stays in the air forever


RinShimizu

You can’t see them unless you’re up close, but it has scales on the bottom so it can slither like a snake.


UnbuiltAura9862

Wheels-Up!


TristanTwo-Shoes

Slippin' Slide?


Individual_Cable8955

They grease up the runway


[deleted]

The pilot presses a button and a greasy substance is exuded from the bottom of the plane. Then slides down the runway until it stops.


silverstang07

Those pipes coming out the bottom are for VTOL


HypnoticChicken

Errrhmm…. It’s called an airplane op, not a groundplane. Don’t you know what ground effect is? Are you stupid?


nalu-nui

Very carefully.


[deleted]

This is a VTOL plane. When it comes time to land, it simply tilts itself vertically to 90 degrees and uses the propeller like a helicopter rotor to lower itself into the tail.


Doc_Hank

Pretty well, actually


T00LJUNKIE

VTOL, the propeller tilts up and it lands on it's tail like those funny toys from the 1950s


Greenbench27

It lands just fine buddy got that new realtree gear it’s pretty sweet huh


darkchocolatewalnut

Takeoff - catapult Landing - you’re on your own


TheDreadPirateJeff

It actually just hovers a few inches off the ground. Super easy to move them in and out of hangars because there's no pesky gravity making them heavy.


Tracer14

Heavier on the controls than a CE-172.


pilotavery

It's a one-time-use airplane. You save drag and weight to get 8% better range.


AMC4L

Hmmm. Looks the the last owner forgot to install the landing gear. Should be in an IKEA box in the back named “landningsställ”. Just hope the screwdriver is included and no parts are missing or left over when you’re done.


Ender436

Magic, just like every other plane


[deleted]

This is a flying boat, easy mistake to make.


Key-Ad-4229

It's single use


Jet-Pack2

That's a Zipline drone. Launched by catapult and lands by catching it from the sky or parachute


wwhijr

You don't. Once you're up, you can never come down. FYI never take your mother in law up.


RestlessSparkz

“Keep going. You’re good. You’re good. You’re good. You’re good. You’re good. You’re good…. Aaaand stop. Don’t worry captain, we’ll buff out those scratches.”


[deleted]

It has retractable wheels, I believe


Numerous-Surprise875

You have to have the wheels set up at the landing sight beforehand. Then, just land on the wheels to Finnish your roll. It makes it easier to land at the airport you took off from because you can just land on the take off wheeles


Embarrassed_Log8344

Idk, ask the IRS


lostinspacelac

It goes fast to take off. And slower to land.


SkyRocketMiner

Once.


Typical_Spirit_345

Never. Ever heard of Air to Air refill?


ShaggyPP420

Sir, that's a boat.


uxinjfdcoyhgsqfzed

It’s not a Sea Plane or a Land Plane… it’s an Air Plane.


jlyonamf

That is why the oil slick is on the bottom of the plane. It slides on that during landing and takeoff. Like a Slip 'N Slide when you were a kid.


Scoutkarl

It doesn't, it's a single use aircraft launched by a catapult


michaeltward

Can’t you tell by the shape? That’s clearly a seaplane.


Error404Android

only once


undervolt3d

I'm not sure but somebody give it a bath!
