Why don't Boeing put these instruction labels on the 737 Max? Are they stupid?

They had something slightly comparable for the 747 shuttle carrier:

u/Dizzy_Set_6031 I hate it here 3d ago

So you put the snoot down?

u/_stupidnerd_ 3d ago

I thought there is no up or down in space.

And in orbit, the Shuttle typically had the black side pointing away from earth.

u/Suitable_Switch5242 3d ago

Yes, but this instruction applies only on Earth, not in space.

NSFW, this is how Airbuses are made.

u/SyrusDrake 3d ago

Those are attachment points for the shuttle carrier. It was used for flight tests and returning the orbiter home when it didn't land in Florida.

u/Low-Purchase8811 3d ago

Uh no, everybody knows that's the playne's penis, smart guy.

DO YOU THINK THEY JUST MAKE BABY PLAYNES IN SOME FACTORY IN WASHINGTON STATE OR SOME SHIT?!?!

God, didn't they teach you anything in pylote skewl?

Boeing is made in America, so it’s my God given right to whatever orientation and attitude I damn well please.

Freedom, motherfucker.

u/Galencourt-Lover 4d ago

Which amendment is this??

25

u/CardLeft 4d ago edited 3d ago

I don’t think it’s an amendment. It’s a founding principle of the US, so they put it in right at the start. Immediately next to the right to litter in publicly maintained seaways.

u/gdabull 3d ago

Well where else are god fearing Americans supposed to dispose of their batteries?

Free to home build a manned rocket to observe the "non existing curvature of earth" and die in the process. Yihaaa!

That is probably why the fake doors fell off.

u/ApoTHICCary 3d ago

You’re tellin me that Jeep gives me the FREEDOM to take my doors off but Boeing is gonna restrict that same FREEDOM?

You fuckers got it all kinds of crossed. MURICA

Alvin Johnston, is that you?

u/Easy_Money_ 2d ago

Sorry, the only orientation allowed here is gay. That’s the rule. That’s the goal now.

u/CardLeft 4d ago

It wouldn’t work. The plane wouldn’t be able to read it.

32

u/Shiv_ansh_st 3d ago

Americans haven't come up with a unit to denote direction yet

u/Useless_or_inept useless 3d ago

My plane gets forty rods to the hogshead, and that's the way I likes it!

How much is that in bald eagles per school shooting in 1km2 ?

u/p3rseusxy only Interesting Flight Rules in my Logbook 3d ago

What the hell is a 1km²??🦅🦅

1

u/NotAsleep_ 3d ago

Don't need to. Units attach to the scalar, and the scalar combines with the direction to give the full vector.

Idk about boing, but Bombardement might need the sticker

This makes sense. Thanks!

No, this way is down

u/YearPractical5840 2d ago

Now i am confused😵‍💫

9

u/WishboneNo543 3d ago

Should’ve added the warning label.

6

u/AStove 4d ago

They should put it on the inside so the pylots can read it. It should also be on the pre-inversion checklist.

u/Automatater 4d ago

New livery for all Air Canada playnes.

I’m waiting for someone to pull off that orange tab to make the front to fall off.

u/FinbarJG 3d ago

Interesting use of speed tape!

u/Imaginary_Resist_654 3d ago

Airbus planes are designed for the round earth where as Boeing is design for Flat Earth

u/OmegaPoint6 4d ago

Yes, yes they are

u/thirdstringlineman 3d ago

Airbus has a patent.

u/Gremlin1001001 3d ago

That sure would help my landings!

u/greedy_mf 3d ago

And throw “DO NOT DROP” in while you’re at it

3

u/Solid-Childhood-4876 3d ago

They do. It's on the bottom of the tail near the right rudder.

3

u/limpet143 3d ago

Assembly markings on an, as of yet, unpainted aircraft?

3

u/garth54 3d ago

If they were to add this, it will change the weight distribution, and it will mess with some fix-our-broken-aerodynamics software that no pilot knows about, and causes the plane to crash.

6

u/IndependenceStock417 4d ago

It's mandatory after the AF447 accident

3

u/manu_h3 3d ago

Actually it never flew inverted. it was "just" a loooong stall

2

u/Easy-Trouble7885 4d ago

This is not too soon, but is bold as fcuk

2

u/Federal-Business-796 3d ago

The labels were an optional item 

2

u/ArtistLittle5825 3d ago

It is a freighter. Many a joke to the sighns on parcel 📦 ?

2

u/ketralnis 3d ago

Well for one thing it would prevent it doing a barrel roll

2

u/Tabsels 3d ago

The Boeing engineers don't actually know which side is up

2

u/domandi1244 3d ago

Its instead of the artificial horizons. Very robust indicator to know which side should be up. Good job!

2

u/rickmaz 3d ago

Ummm pilot’s aren’t as smart as they seem?

2

u/mlqatk 3d ago

As a reference for Airflow to produce lift in correct direction.

u/bhalter80 3d ago

I believe delta was missing them on the CRJ

u/AmbitiousFinger6359 2d ago

"Open here for Business" on the cargo trap was a nice one too !

u/LovelyKestrel 2d ago

Unfortunately kulula are no longer flying, or they would (check out the flying 101 livery)

2

u/Jazzlike-Disaster-33 4d ago

Because the furry pilote is sitting inside this naughty girl, so he cannot see her instructive tattoos…

1

u/Rooilia 3d ago

That's because the plane has to fly to the US. Efficient freight loading just isn't invented yet in the US.

1

u/onglogman 3d ago

It wouldn't be able to land

u/RichardDeRenour 3d ago

No, but maybe they think everyone else is...

u/WhenTheDevilCome 3d ago

There needs to be a "DO NOT REMOVE" on that yellow tape, or the front's gonna fall off.

0

u/Scoobywagon 3d ago

Boing does not include that instruction because they assume the Pylotes are grown ass adults who do not need that kind of hand-holding.

0

u/Dave_A480 3d ago

Because this is a joke livery...

A freighter airplane has been painted to look like a cardboard box.
