CAN VERY LARGE PASSENGER PLANES ACCOMMODATE FUTSAL COURT ?

Image
Yes, if the planes are of "Y-fuselage" design. On 13 Oktober 2018, Malaysian newspapers have reported that the Prime Minister of Malaysia, Tun Mahathir Mohamad has expressed his vision that future large passenger planes may be able to accommodate futsal court ( PM bayang kapal terbang masa depan ada futsal ). Sports recreational facilities like futsal court will be useful for very long distance and long period flight that exceeds 12 hours. Large aircraft engine technology has evolved significantly to enable such flight, but large aircraft design, particularly that of very large passenger planes still has not. The design to accommodate very large number of passengers is done basically by only increasing the diameter and length of the fuselage, which have a practical limit. I have produced a few concepts with new fuselage design to accommodate much greater number of passengers without increasing the practical diameter and length of the fuselage called, " Y-fuse...

THE "HAJJ" SST (SUPERSONIC TRANSPORTER) THAT MUSLIM COUNTRIES CAN BUILD

Image
Every year millions of Muslims from around the world travel to Mecca to perform pilgrimage or hajj. Most of them travel by air using passenger jets from Asia, Africa, Europe and South and North America. If they travel from East Asia or Europe, their travelling time is between 6 to 8 hours, and if they travel from North America, their travelling time is more than 12 hours, while if they travel from South America, their travelling time can reach up to 24 hours. This traveling time is recorded by their using of conventional contemporary Airbus or Boeing passenger jets. Due to the very large numbers of pilgrimage travelling by air, every year such traveling agents reserve thousands of passengers jets costing billions of dollars. These millions of pilgrims are ready market for the passenger jets, and also a significant contributor to both the airline services and aircraft manufacturing industries. This fact actually enables Muslim countries or a consortium of a Muslim countries, ...

WHAT TYPE OF COMBAT AIRCRAFT SHOULD MALAYSIA BUILD IN 2030?

Image
Recently there are voices among Malaysians including the Minister of Defense that Malaysia should build its own combat aircraft by 2030, but what type of combat aircraft should Malaysia build? There is a group of lecturers from a local university who are eager to build 6th generation fighter, but after realizing that such is impractical, have downgraded their eagerness to 5th generation fighter. But still, is 5th generation fighter practical for Malaysia? Up to date, 5th generation fighters that are actively in service are the American F-35 and F-22, while the Russian Su-57 is expected to join the list very soon, and the Chinese J-20 is yet to be proven. These 3 countries are not only very large, but also have very large air force and other countries are buying fighters from them, and for them, having 5th generation fighters is not only a military combat requirement, but also a military industry requirement. For these countries, having the ability to produce 5th generation ...

AN ARCH BRIDGE WILL IMPROVE THE ECOLOGY & ECONOMY OF SOUTHERN PENINSULAR MALAYSIA

Image
The "arch bridge" proposed to be built on the Malaysian side of the Johor Causeway is important for both the ecology and economy of the southern Peninsular Malaysia. Since the completion of the Johor Causeway in 1923, the embankment has negatively affected the natural ecology of the Strait of Johor, as it has permanently blocked the natural flow of the sea between the eastern and the western part of the strait. The blockage has caused the artificial accumulation of mud and destroyed the natural ecosystem of the strait that might has led to the extinction of few particular species of marine faunas and floras. The destruction of such ecosystem might has also led to the elimination of some natural beauties along the shore of the strait, where if such natural beauties do exist today, they would have became attractive tourist destinations and contributed to the local economy. Since the strait is directly connected to the sea area on both the eastern and western part ...
